Chapter 563 A Guessing Game Called “Compensation”

“So don’t worry. If Victor’s handling it, you’ll probably see your mom even faster.”

Tessa: “He’s asking me for compensation.”

What-?!

“Com… compensation?”

Finished

“Yeah. Compensation.” It was clearly Abraham who gave him the task, and yet Victor came straight to her asking for payment.

Stella’s focus snapped right back from watching Marie and Derrick outside.

“What kind of compensation? Is he asking for money?”

“I told him I don’t have any. He said I could offer something else. And he made it clear–no credit.”

The way Tessa bit out the words something else and no credit made the message loud and clear.

Stella immediately honed in. “Something else? But if you don’t have money… what else do you even have?”

In Stella’s mind, Tessa had always been pretty well off.

Of course, that was back when her mother was fine. Now that things had turned upside down, it made sense that Tessa didn’t have much on hand.

If Victor really wanted money, Stella had already been thinking about covering the cost for her.

But then-

“He said he doesn’t want money.”

“What?” Stella blinked.

“He said I should offer something else instead. Said he has no use for money.”

That part, Victor had made clear himself.

Hearing that, Stella couldn’t help but frown.
