The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 786 Did Victor Just Hug Her

+8 Pearls

Marie tried to get a clearer look at that shadowy figure, but before she could make it out, Victor had already pulled the person into his arms and carried them straight into the car.

Even as the car drove off, she never did get a clear view…

When Derrick parked and walked over, he found Maric staring blankly in one direction.

He followed her gaze; aside from a cluster of parked cars, there was nothing there.

“What are you looking at?” Derrick suddenly asked, snapping her back to reality.

She blinked and turned to him. “Did you see it?”

“See what?”

See what? Derrick looked at her in confusion, then glanced again toward the spot she’d been staring at. Still nothing.

“Victor,” Marie said, her voice dazed. “He was holding a woman in his arms just now!”

Derrick was stunned. A woman?

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not kidding. It was definitely a woman.”

Derrick went quiet. Definitely a woman? Why did that sound so off?

Especially the way she’d said definitely–it was dripping with uncertainty. Which only proved she hadn’t actually gotten a good look at who Victor was holding.

“What, you think he was carrying a dog? Or maybe a man?”

Derrick went quiet.

This was getting ridiculous.

Victor had never liked pets. And sure, women had been around him over the years, but there hadn’t been a single one he spoiled enough to carry around in his arms.

Marie hissed softly. “So what’s going on with him? What exactly does Tessa mean to him?”

Derrick frowned.
