The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 815 The Family Roast Session

When Dale arrived, he saw Tessa and Victor sitting comfortably together, leisurely eating soup.

In that instant, his rage hit its peak.

For days, he’d been drowning in chaos and stress–yet this ungrateful girl sat there enjoying herself as if nothing had happened…

Especially when he overheard Victor ask, “You’re really not going to get involved with the

Ashen Pact situation?”

Tessa shrugged. “Why should I? That man’s not my father. It’s none of my business.”

Sweat beaded on Tessa’s nose as she went on, “If you ask me, he probably can’t have kids anyway.”

“Hmm?”

Victor glanced at her, puzzled.

Tessa leaned forward toward him, close enough that he furrowed his brow. “What are you doing?”

“Look,” she said.

“Look at what?”

“Don’t I look nothing like Dale?”

Victor went silent.
