The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504/Too Close for Comfort

Victor raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”

Nothing was worse than being hit with a question in return.

In situations like this, that kind of response only made someone look clueless.

Tessa clutched her pillow tighter. “I don’t know.”

Victor said, “Obviously, it was to make Abraham keep you here. Otherwise, you think I’d let a spy like you go cause trouble for them?”

“I’m not—I’m not a spy!” Tessa protested quietly. What was wrong with this guy?

So he really did say that just to stop Stella from taking her. How vile.

Tessa felt even more wronged.

Victor replied, “Whether you are or not- we’ll find out when the investigation’s done.”

There it was again.

Tessa was scared, but she still couldn’t help shooting him a resentful glance.

“Then tell your guys to hurry up. Keeping a suspect like me around must make you nervous too, right?”

Victor looked over at her, slightly surprised.

Not bad. She might be timid, but she still had enough nerve to say something like that.

Like Stella said, he’d never be interested in someone like her. His past flings were all long–legged supermodels.

If he were going to go for someone, it would be someone even more stunning than them” -not someone like her.

Victor didn’t answer.

He simply reached out and grabbed the pillow, trying to pull it out of her arms.

Tessa’s mind blanked out, and she instinctively tried to pull away.

But tension always made things worse. Her knees buckled.

She reached out to steady herself–only to have her hand land-

The next second, Victor grabbed her wrist. His voice was hoarse and low. “What are you doing?”

Oh god. Did she have a personal vendetta against Victor’s waist or something? The first time, she yanked his belt. The second time, it was the towel. And now–no belt–just straight to the pants?

She almost added: If you hadn’t climbed in through the balcony, this wouldn’t have happened–but she didn’t dare.
