Chapter 504/Too Close for Comfort

Victor raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”

Nothing was worse than being hit with a question in return.

In situations like this, that kind of response only made someone look clueless.

Tessa clutched her pillow tighter. “I don’t know.”

Victor said, “Obviously, it was to make Abraham keep you here. Otherwise, you think I’d let a spy like you go cause trouble for them?”

“I’m not—I’m not a spy!” Tessa protested quietly. What was wrong with this guy?

So he really did say that just to stop Stella from taking her. How vile.

Tessa felt even more wronged.

Victor replied, “Whether you are or not- we’ll find out when the investigation’s done.”

There it was again.

Tessa was scared, but she still couldn’t help shooting him a resentful glance.

Victor looked over at her, slightly surprised.

Not bad. She might be timid, but she still had enough nerve to say something like that.

He didn’t respond. Instead, he stood up and walked toward the door. Tessa instinctively stepped aside, her back pressed flat against the wall.

He stopped beside her and glanced down at the pillow in her arms. “You really think that thing’s gonna protect you if I decide to do something?”

Tessa’s head snapped up in fear.
