Once only Sophia and Marie were left behind, Sophia picked up a call. After she hung up, she. respectfully said to Marie. “Falvaria just sent word. Mr. Victor says you need to return Tessa.”

Marie snorted coldly at that. “Return? What’s this ‘return? She’s in my hands now–she’s

mine.”

Sophia said. “Mr. Victor says you can have whatever you want.”

“Whatever I want?”

The moment she heard that, Marie’s eyes sparkled.

That glint in her gaze made it clear–Victor must be holding something she really wanted.

Sophia cleared her throat. “Mr. Victor has plenty of treasures. Especially his mechanical techniques.”

Over the years, countless people had tried to get their hands on Victor’s mechanical secrets. But he never passed them down to anyone.

Just mentioning Victor’s craftsmanship was enough to make Marie hum. “You think he’d hand

over that book just for Tessa?”

Surely… not, right?

Men–what were they good for, besides manipulating women?

Marie didn’t believe Victor would hand over something that valuable just for a girl.

Sophia said, “Why don’t you test him?”

Marie was stunned.

Uh…

Could she really test him?

What if she didn’t get the book–and her brother ended up lecturing her for messing around?

“Then I’ll try to sound him out. You go prepare.”
