Back in Rivermount, she’d had a little courage, but ever since arriving in Falvaria, she’d been scared out of her mind.
The kind of person who cried several times a day.
Who in their right mind would recruit someone like that as an undercover agent?
She couldn’t even handle the mission, let alone the emotional meltdowns that came with it.
Lewis was s
stunned by Stella’s sudden outburst. “Wait, I… I’m just telling the truth.”
Stella shot back. “She’s not cut out to be an undercover agent.”
Lewis replied. “But you can’t ignore the fact that she almost got the boss killed yesterday. That’s still the truth.”
Bottom line–Tessa had landed herself in deep trouble with Victor.
Stella huffed. “Bottom line is, I’m taking her with me today.”
After hearing everything Tessa had said earlier, she’d already known it wouldn’t be easy to take her away today.

Just then, Victor shot her a glance and finally spoke, “You’re not taking her.”
His words were cold and resolute, each one sharp and firm.
Stella’s lips twitched. “Victor, this isn’t-”

Hearing that name made her chest tighten….

She wasn’t unfamiliar with it; two years ago. Derrick had seemed to have some ties to Ashen Pact.
And it was precisely because of that connection that she’d been terrified it would cause Abraham problems he couldn’t get
out of
That’s why she’d compromised and listened to Derrick back then.
Now, hearing Victor mention Ashen Pact again, Stella’s face paled.
But when it came to Tessa…
She still shook her head. “No. There’s no way she’s involved with Ashen Pact.”
Victorraised his eyes, cold as ever. “Whether she is or not, we’ll wait for the investigation to decide.”
Stella couldn’t say a word.

Victor picked up the glass of water on the nightstand and took a sip. Even sitting on the bed, every move he made carried a jdangerous authority that left no room for debate.
Stella parted her lips, as if to argue again.
Lewis had seen enough to understand what was happening.
