Chapter 631 You Call That Gratitude?
“Mr. Keene came to see Miss. It might have something to do with Miss Sutton.”
Abraham fell silent.
The air in the office went still.
Abel said, “Logically, since Horgan rejoined the Keene family, Mr. Keene should be locked in a deadly power struggle with him by now. And yet…”
And yet what? He didn’t finish the sentence.
For Ethan to show up now and make a scene with Stella–there had to be something more behind it.
Abraham let out a cold chuckle. “Find him first.”
As for how to deal with it, a glint of danger flashed through Abraham’s eyes, sharper than ever before. The reason behind it? The Keene family really thinks Horgan alone is enough to turn the tide?
Meanwhile, on Tessa’s side, her legs were still sore, and after the high fever, her whole body was drained of energy.
At the table, she took the initiative to serve Victor a bowl of soup. Just as she set it down in front of him, her gaze landed on a scratch mark on his tattooed arm.
Her cheeks flushed bright red on the spot.
Victor raised an eyebrow. “So attentive all of a sudden?”
Tessa stammered, “Well, uh… thanks for last night.”
If it hadn’t been for Victor, she probably would’ve been dragged off by those two creeps.
And that scratch on his arm, she’d left it… back on the bed….
“What are you looking at? Why’s your face so red?”
Tessa avoided his eyes and said nothing, silently burying her head in her bowl to eat.
Victor arched an eyebrow. “Tessa?”
“I wasn’t looking at anything,” she muttered. “Just… really, thanks for last night.”
Victor let out a quiet laugh. “And this is how you’re thanking me? By serving me soup?”
Tessa was stunned.
Victor added, “The way I like to be thanked… isn’t quite so cheap.”
There was clear implication in his tone.
Tessa picked up on it immediately; her face turned even redder.
Victor took a sip of the soup she’d given him and said, “For now, don’t call Star over here.”
“Huh?”
Tessa looked up from her bowl.
Don’t let Stella come here? She hadn’t planned on bothering her anyway.
After all, Stella was pregnant. And after everything that had happened, Tessa had come to a painful realization, her presence brought danger.
If those people were trying to use her to threaten her mother, then they might also go after Stella to force Tessa to cooperate.
Stella was Abraham’s most precious treasure.
