Chapter 347 I’ll Give You Anything
Shouldn’t the car be moving? What were they waiting for?
Victor said, “You haven’t gotten off yet.”
Tessa said, “Get off? I can’t get off!” She’d just heard the thugs on the phone. They weren’t going anywhere; they were planning to seal off the whole airport. If she got out now, she’d be caught instantly.
“Aren’t you going to help me?” She clutched the sides of his shirt tighter, refusing to let go.
Victor raised an eyebrow. “My help doesn’t come cheap.”
Tessa said, “Bu
you helped me at Rivermount for free.” What did he mean? Was he actually charging people to be rescued?
Victor chuckled. “That was out of respect for Mr. Abraham. But now… He trailed off. He lifted her chin with long fingers and leaned down. Their faces were inches apart, breaths mingling.
Victor was ridiculously handsome. Normally, Tessa had face–blindness when it came to foreign men, but Victor was striking–his features sharp, his presence impossible to ignore. And she knew from their last encounter at Rivermount–those soft–looking eyes could turn absolutely lethal.
Now, facing him this close, she couldn’t help but swallow. “Now what?”
Victor said, “Now, what do I get out of this?”
Tessa was stunned. What does he mean?
“Money?” He helped her at Rivermount because of Star Abraham. Now… it had to be about money, right?
Victor looked at her like she was being ridiculous and let out a short laugh. “My reward is your pocket money?”
Tessa winced. Ouch. That was rude.
What did he mean, her allowance? Though, to be fair, her pocket money probably didn’t mean much to someone from Abraham’s circle.
“Then what do you want? My mom’s company, Night Corp?”
Victor laughed softly. “Night Corp? That little company belongs to your mother?”
Tessa was once again speechless.
Little company? Who is he? Everyone in Rivermount talked about how impressive Night Corp is: Mom had built it from the ground up. Yet to him, it is just… a little company?

Tessa’s heart jumped into her throat. She gripped Victor’s shirt even tighter. “Drive. Please, just drive!”
If they stayed here, it was all over. She was shaking as she spoke. This had to be her cursed year, Everything that could go wrong was going wrong
Victor’s hand on her chin tightened as he straightened up and looked out the window. “There are a lot of them.”
Tessa, already on edge, was nearly in tears. “Stop talking!”
She knew there were a lot of them!
Then tell me what exactly are you offering?”
“Anything!
Victor said, “So decisive?”
Tessa said, ‘Come on!”
Victor smirked and gave her chin a playful squeeze before finally turning to the driver. “Drive” The car finally started moving. But just as it did, the driver hit the brakes hard.
Victor lurched forward. Tessa, still between his legs, was jerked with him.
Her forehead slammed into his belt buckle with a thud. It felt like her brain was about to rattle
out of her skull.
“Ow!” she gasped, clutching her head.
Victor’s expression darkened. “What’s going on?”
They’re checking the vehicles.”
Someone had already approached the driver and motioned for him to roll down the window.
Victor said, “Lower the window.
Tessa blurted out, “No!”
Victor said. “Hmm?”
“Drive. Just. just crash through if you have to.” Tessa stammered. Those people were serious. She didn’t even want to imagine the mess waiting if they found her in Victor’s car.
Victor said, “You’re really that scared of them?”
