The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Whole Lot of Drama

Now that they had a lead, this whole thing…

A realization hit Tessa so hard her breath caught in her throat Ashen Pact!

She’d heard rumors about them–rumors that the previous leader had been killed by the current one.

In a place so deeply rooted in power, it was only natural for hidden forces to surge beneath the surface.

Stella asked “Victor told you this?”

“Yeah.”

Tessa was clearly shaken.

Her mother was named Diana; Ashen Pact’s former female leader was also named Diana. And now, her mother had been taken by Ashen Pact.

Even though, in Tessa’s mind, the two had absolutely nothing to do with each other…

It was exactly this kind of coincidence that wove the two Dianas into one person.

Stella said, “Then this…”

“Stella, you’ve got to help me confirm this–right away.”

“Is that why you didn’t leave with me earlier?” Stella asked.

She knew it–Tessa had been crying on the phone, then suddenly changed her mind about coming with her.

Something must’ve happened with Victor. Did he use Diana to negotiate with Tessa?

Back in Rivermount, Tessa didn’t spend much time with her mother, but that didn’t mean there was no bond between them.

Every conversation they had might’ve looked like it was just about money….

But deep down, Tessa relied on her mother–constantly trying to make her presence known, trying to be seen.

Her tendency to cry said it all–Tessa wasn’t some heartless person.

Tessa sucked in a sharp breath. “Why else?”

If it weren’t for her mother, she absolutely would’ve left with Stella.

Stella asked, “Should I come get you now?”

“Forget it.”

Just thinking about what Victor had said to her, Tessa figured that even if Stella came and took her away..

If he wanted to cause her trouble, he still would.

She might as well stay put and let his people get to the bottom of things-

Then she could walk away with a clean slate.

Right now, all she could think about was her mother. If she left with Stella and Victor still came after her, that would drive her up the wall.

Hearing the weariness in Tessa’s voice, Stella’s brows knitted tightly. “What now?”

Tessa replied. “Victor’s still harping on that whole medicine mix–up. He keeps saying I’m a mole, and he won’t let it go until he gets answers.”

Stella was stunned. What?

Still going on about it….

“He’s just messing with you,” Stella said, clearly annoyed..

That was how she saw it.

Victor’s eyes were as sharp as Abraham’s–after everything he’d seen in his life, all kinds of monsters and demons

whether To

He couldn’t tell whether Tessa was mole material?

Wait a minute–something about this wasn’t adding up.

When Tessa heard that, she said, “He’s messing with me?”

“Of course,” Stella replied.

“Why would he do that?”

Stella said bluntly, “Because you’re easy to mess with? He’s trying to get in your pants.”

Her brother had said it–Victor admitted he liked Tessa

Given everything that had happened, it was clearly a seduction ploy.

Tessa was stunned.

That… was not something she wanted to hear.

Sure, she was pretty, but she had enough self–awareness to know-

She didn’t have anything to offer; she wasn’t some breathtaking beauty. Would Victor really go that far just to seduce her!

She was just about to say something when-

Marie’s voice suddenly came through on Stella’s end of the call, “Start I’m not letting that scumbag Derrick off the hook!”

“I gotta go,” Stella said. “I’ll call you tomorrow. If anything comes up, just call me I’ll come get you if you want

And with that, she hung up.

As the call ended, Tessa’s brain was still whirring. Seduction? Victor, that cold–blooded snob?

She was lucky if he even spared her a glance–seduction, as if that was ever an option.

Meanwhile, on Stella’s end. Earlier, while she was getting a checkup in the medical room, Marie had suddenly thought of something and stormed off to find Abraham and Derrick.

Evelyn had stayed behind to keep Stella company during the exam.
