Chapter 786 Did Victor Just Hug Her

+8 Pearls

Marie tried to get a clearer look at that shadowy figure, but before she could make it out, Victor had already pulled the person into his arms and carried them straight into the car.

Even as the car drove off, she never did get a clear view…

When Derrick parked and walked over, he found Maric staring blankly in one direction.

He followed her gaze; aside from a cluster of parked cars, there was nothing there.

“What are you looking at?” Derrick suddenly asked, snapping her back to reality.

She blinked and turned to him. “Did you see it?”

“See what?”

See what? Derrick looked at her in confusion, then glanced again toward the spot she’d been staring at. Still nothing.

“Victor,” Marie said, her voice dazed. “He was holding a woman in his arms just now!”

Derrick was stunned. A woman?

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not kidding. It was definitely a woman.”

Derrick went quiet. Definitely a woman? Why did that sound so off?

Especially the way she’d said definitely–it was dripping with uncertainty. Which only proved she hadn’t actually gotten a good look at who Victor was holding.

“What, you think he was carrying a dog? Or maybe a man?”

Derrick went quiet.

This was getting ridiculous.

Victor had never liked pets. And sure, women had been around him over the years, but there hadn’t been a single one he spoiled enough to carry around in his arms.

Marie hissed softly. “So what’s going on with him? What exactly does Tessa mean to him?”

Derrick frowned.

“He went crazy demanding Tessa from the Ashen Pact. Wait–my head’s a mess. Don’t tell me Victor actually never cared about Tessa and her little short legs?”

“Then what the heck has all of this been about these past few weeks?”

Marie’s thoughts completely unraveled.

Derrick went quiet.

After listening to her rambling, his head wasn’t much clearer either.

Marie’s mind went numb. The world feels so messy, so dirty. What the heck has even been happening lately?

“You know, Victor really surprised me. I mean, isn’t this…”

She didn’t even know how to describe him anymore.

“Messing with Tessa like this isn’t right. And given the history between Madam Diana and the Ashen Pact, it’s clear Madam Diana’s no soft touch.”

“Is it really a good idea to toy with her daughter like this?”

At that moment, Marie could practically picture it, if Diana ever learned Victor was stringing Tessa along, sparks would fly, thunder would crack–chaos.

But beyond that, she worried about the little short legs.

They hadn’t known each other long, but she could tell Tessa was as innocent as Stella.

Derrick went quiet.

Listening to Marie’s frantic theorizing left his own brain buzzing.

“Hey,” Marie muttered, “who knew Victor was such a womanizer? Didn’t see that coming.”

“But then again… I used to think maybe he couldn’t even get it up! How could he possibly?”

The more she analyzed, the more tangled her thoughts became.

“Are you sure,” Derrick cut in, “that the person in his arms wasn’t Tessa?”

Marie went quiet.

The air went silent in an instant.

She’d only meant to vent behind Victor’s back, maybe curse him out a little; but Derrick had

blindsided her with that question.

She turned to him, dumbfounded. “Wait–you’re sure?”

It was Tessa? Victor had been carrying Tessa? No, that… holding Tessa in his arms? Then what about before?

Marie was stunned.

“I didn’t see,” Derrick replied flatly. “Didn’t you? You’re the one who said he was holding

someone.”

Why was she asking him if he was sure? Shouldn’t she be the one to know?

Marie went quiet.

Her breathing grew sharp and uneven.

“I didn’t get a clear look either.”

“Then why don’t you ask him?” Derrick suggested.
