Chapter 311 Escaping the Crossfire
Oh, right! Tessa was three years older than me.
“I clashed with my zodiac, not the god of death. Does Heaven really have to be this harsh?” The more Tessa spoke, the more aggrieved she became.
Stella said, “Alright, it’s over now.”
Tessa’s sudden appearance had been completely unexpected.
Stella comforted her for a while before returning to Abraham’s side and asking, “Can we take Tess
with us?”
“Things on Kealis Island are complicated. It’s not safe.” Abraham pointed out.
Stella’s lips twitched slightly.
Not safe… That meant all kinds of unexpected dangers were bound to appear. Tessa had lived her whole life in the peaceful comfort of Rivermount. Taking her along wasn’t an option.
“She’s definitely too scared to go back by herself right now.” Stella had seen it just now. Tessa’s legs. had been shaking, and there was even a clean round hole torn in the fabric of her pants.
There was no need to ask. The bullet must have grazed right past her leg.
Tessa must have been terrified.
Abraham glanced at the time on his wristwatch. Just as he was about to instruct Abel to assign two people to escort Tessa back, Victor set down his wine glass and stood. up. “You go on ahead. I’ll take her back and head straight to Kealis Island afterward.”
All eyes turned sharply to look at Victor.
Eddie blinked. “You? You’re taking her?”
Something about that didn’t sit right…”
Before Eddie could finish the thought, Victor shot him a warning glare, silently telling him to shut up.
Eddie shut his mouth resentfully.
What I meant was, Tessa’s probably even more afraid of Victor…
Back in Seaflats Cove, Tessa had seen Victor kill someone with her own eyes. She had not just been frightened. She had passed out cold. She had barely taken two steps before fainting right there in the snow.
Tacca had been waiting for Stella but when the cow Victor walking toured her her mind
10.56 AM

She instinctively took a step back.
Victor brushed past her. “Let’s go.”
“Go… go where?”
“I’m taking you back.”
“I’m not getting off the plane!” Tessa blurted out without thinking.

She had just escaped from the airport terminal. Those people were terrifying. She was scared.
Even though no one doted on her, and her mother barely kept in touch, one thing she knew for sure. She was not ready to die.
Victor glanced at her. “If you don’t get off the plane now, those thugs will be swarming over here
in a minute.
Tessa gasped, “What? Then I don’t want to drag Stella into this!”
Not far away, Stella overheard this and felt a surge of emotion..
Victor said coldly, “Then move.”
Seeing how frightened Tessa was, Stella began to reconsider. The airport did seem more dangerous than they had expected.
Maybe it would be better to just take her to Kealis Island after all.
But before she could say anything. Tessa turned to her. “Stella, I’m going now.”
Without waiting for a reply, she followed Victor without hesitation.
She trusted that this man, who was just as ruthless as those criminals, could get her out of the airport safely.
Watching her go, trembling like that, Stella felt a twinge of guilt. “Maybe I should…”
Before she could finish, a hand gripped her wrist, and she stumbled right into Abraham’s arms.
“What are you doing?” Stella shot him an annoyed look.
The man cupped her chin. “Stella, do you like that Tessa so much?”
Stella was speechless.
Eddie was shocked as he overheard the conversation.
What the hell? So girls aren’t allowed now either?

Meanwhile, the situation at the airport remained tense.

As they passed through a corridor, Tessa could already hear gunfire echoing from a distance. Her entire body tensed.
Her wide eyes were filled with terror.
Victor turned around and saw her staggering, her legs trembling so much she could barely walk straight.
His eyes darkened. “Scared?”
Tessa nodded. “I… I’m terrified.”
No kidding. Sure, she enjoyed watching action movies, but being in one was a whole differe story. Movies were thrilling. But this? This was just life–threatening.
They kept a meter apart, but Tessa stuck to him like glue, not daring to slack off for even a second.
Victor strode forward, and Tessa scrambled to keep up. The man had long legs to begin with. Even running, she struggled to match his pace.
Hearing her panting behind him, Victor slowed down slightly.
Then, just as they rounded a corner, two masked men appeared in front of them. In the split second they met, the men raised their weapons.
