Tessa was still trying to wrap her head around it. Holy crap… Stella’s temper alone was explosive enough.

And Dan actually faked his death to deceive her?

Was he trying to die for real?

Tessa muttered, “That guy with the dark hair just now…”

“Dan. Your brother,” Victor reminded her.

“No. I don’t have a brother like that,” Tessa shot back without hesitation.

A guy who could pull off something as low as faking his own death? What a scumbag.

If she admitted someone like that was her brother, she’d probably get jumped just walking down the street.

Blood ties like that? Cut them clean–don’t let any of that nonsense stick to her.

Besides, she’d heard the stories–Marie had nearly lost her mind over that man back then.

And in the end, he’d been the one lying to her?

How was anyone supposed to forgive that?

What if Marie’s rage exploded and she ended up catching Tessa in the crossfire?

Tessa almost called Stella on the spot–but one look at the time made her decide against it.

When Victor asked that question earlier, Tessa had actually thought about it. “It’s not like I listen in on just anyone.”

If it didn’t concern her, she definitely wouldn’t bother..

No matter how wild things got, she had no interest in sticking her nose in. But earlier, she’d heard the names Stella and Marie…

She looked at Victor. “Um, maybe you should head back.”

“Hm?”
