Chapter 287 She Has a Fiancé
Victor packed up his things. Hearing a noise, he turned around and locked eyes with Tessa, who had just gotten out of the car.
Tessa didn’t care about the awkwardness anymore. She was too scared to speak.
The scene was drenched in blood.
Beneath the falling snowflakes, the sight was especially chilling.
Tessa moved her trembling lips, wanting to say something, but at that moment, not a single word came out..
She looked at Victor in horror.
Eddie, seeing Tessa had arrived, stepped forward with long strides. “What are you doing here? Didn’t get it off the first time, so you want to try again?”
Tessa and Victor were both speechless at Eddie’s words.
Victor stepped forward and slapped him on the back of the head. “Seems like Mr. Abraham went easy on you earlier, didn’t make you run with weights.”
You you’re such a schemer.”
The ten–plus laps just now had nearly drained the life out of him. He might as well hand over his life if they made him run with weights.
Victor coldly looked at Tessa. “What are you here for?”
“I came to find Star. She…
Tessa gathered all her courage to look at Victor, hoping to get an answer from him.
Victor said coldly. “You can’t see her for now,”
“What?”
“Her fiance came to pl
pick
her up.
Tessa was puzzled. Fiance! Wait, didn’t Star like the brother who raised her? How did a fiancé come into the picture? And did her fiance cause Sraflats Cove to end up like this? This is so confusing.
Tessa was completely dumbfounded.
Victor took out a cigarette and lit it. “Can you go back?”
Tessa stammered, “L.. I can.”
Then go back. This isn’t a place for you.”
Is Star in danger?” Tessa asked anxiously.
She has a fiance? What about Ethan? It turns out Stella has more than just Mr. Abraham backing her up. Whoever is behind this, to have thened Seaflats Cove into what it is, is no ordinary person. Is it dangerous?
Victor thought for a moment, took a puff of his cigarette. There shouldn’t be any danger, at most, she’ll suffer a bit.”
Derrick was such a scoundrel.
The wall between Stella and Abraham was solved, and they had no clue what Derrick might do next if he discovered it.
And Stella’s temper, she was definitely going to clash head–on. Tessa really worried that Stella’s lack of diplomacy would make
her lose out
Victor didn’t want to engage with Tessa, turning and walking away.
Eddie looked at Tessa, standing in the cold wind, crying miserably, and scratched his head.
“She doesn’t need you worrying. That girl is in demand, her fiancé isn’t going to hurt her.”
Derrick was just a shameless guy. It was just a word from the elders, and he took it seriously, even going around Falvaria, declaring Stella as his fiancee.
These past two years, whenever he looked for Stella, it was under the pretense of finding his fiancée.
For this, Abraham sent out a lot of people, wanting to wipe Derrick out, but Derrick was cunning.
It was like he was going head–to–head with Abraham, and didn’t care about the Tom family or Kelly.
No matter what threat was used, it didn’t work.
Tessa added, “But Star and Mr. Abraham already…
“Girl, you should worry about yourself. Victor’s a grudge–holder, and he’ll settle the score with you for taking his pants off…
Hearing Eddie’s words, Tessa instinctively shrank her neck.
Victor, who had been walking away, somehow turned back and grabbed Eddie’s collar, pulling him along.
It was clear he wanted to settle the score with Eddie first.
When Derrick told the people on the other side that he was going to get what Abraham wanted, Stella, furious, was about to kick him again. “Derrick you b’stard! I’m going to destroy you!”
But he grabbed her ankle and pulled her into his arms, sitting her down.
At the same time, a wicked smile curved at his lips. “Star, are you throwing yourself into my arms? Is that how you threw yourself at Ethan back in Rivermount? He doesn’t seem to fall for your tricks.
Stella, already furious, raised her hand to slap Derrick across the face.
Derrick, however, easily caught her wrist. “Star, do you really want to hit me?”
“You’re a backstabber, I wish I could tear you apart.”
Stella still vividly remembered how Derrick had stabbed Abraham in the back all those years ago.
