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

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

“Whatever I want?”

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

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?”
