    The gossip stirred up by Rivermount in the past few days was nothing more than an attempt to use Ste to force Abraham ito /iback off.

    iThreaten /ihim? iHeh/i…

    They must’ve forgotten–Abraham never responded to threats.

    If they wanted to go down in mes with him, he’d make sure they were the ones burned to ash.

    Evelyn said, “You should keep Star off her phone for a while. Don’t let those desperate rats upset her.”

    The Keene family and the Reed family were already bankrupt.

    At this point, all they had left was their lives.

    Abraham replied, “Got it.”

    They exchanged a few more words before ending the call.

    Just as Abraham turned around, Ste’s phone buzzed. This time, it was Tessa calling.

    After a moment of thought, Abraham rejected the call and sent a message to Abel instead, telling him to call Tessa and help with whatever she needed.

    To Abraham, Tessa had always been dramatic.

    He didn’t want her disturbing Star right now,

    Abel responded promptly: “Got it.”

    Then he deleted the call record from Tessa.

    After handling everything, Abraham returned to the dining room. Ste was nibbling on a piece of tbread.

    When she saw hime in, she held one out to him. “Try this, it’s really good.”

    The kitchen staff had been getting better and better at their job.

    Ste had clearly gained some weight recently–probably because of the

    pregnancy.

    Ever since finding out she was expecting, she’d been very obedient when it came to eating.

    And now that she knew she was carrying triplets, she was being even more diligent.

    Abraham didn’t take the piece she offered.

    Instead, he held her hand–the one she was using to eat. “I want this one.”

    Ste had just taken a bite when he leaned in and bit off the rest from her mouth.

    Ste went quiet.

    This man and his weird habit–he just had to eat what she was eating.

    “Mmm, not bad. Tastes like Star.”

    His voice wasced with amusement. Ste’s face flushed bright red.

    “I told you on the phone not to bully-”

    She didn’t finish the sentence. The moment she saw the smirk in Abraham’s eyes, she quickly swallowed the rest of her words.

    iGod/ii, /inever itry /iito /iiboss /ihim iaround/i.

    She’d learned that lesson the hard way that night.

    They were still eating when Abel called. He must’ve already contacted

    Tessa.

    Ste remembered how Marie had said Tessa might get assaulted and then killed. That had really scared her.

    Abraham took the call and stood up. “I’m stepping out to take a business call.”

    “Okay, go ahead,” Ste nodded.

    Outside, Abraham answered the phone.

    Abel’s respectful voice came through. “Sir.”

    “What happened?” Abraham asked coldly.

    “Ms. Tessa’s fine. She was taken by Mr. Victor.”

    Abraham raised an eyebrow. “Victor?”

    “Yes, sir. Ms. Tessa was indeed taken to Rowan Ind in Northliso by Mr. Victor.”

    “She only called Miss Ste because she wanted to chat. Nothing serious.”

    Abraham went quiet.

    He let out a faint sigh of relief.

    Tessa had been calling during Star’s prenatal check–up, and he’d honestly been worried something was wrong.

    Star was carrying triplets–she couldn’t handle one of Tessa’s dramatic meltdowns.

    iBut /iiVictor/ii, /iihuh/ii… /i

    “He didn’t tell Marie he was taking her?”

    “ording to Ms. Tessa, she didn’t really know. Judging from Miss Marie’s reaction, it seems like he didn’t.”

    If Victor had given Marie a heads–up, she wouldn’t have stormed into Ashen Pact.

    And not just her–Derrick had gone too.

    At this point, Ashen Pact was aplete mess.

    Abraham closed his eyes briefly.

    Abel continued, “Ss is already at Ashen Pact. Looks like Mr. Victor is ying a long game.”

    Not telling Marie meant she yed a key role in his strategy.

    Abraham gave a low chuckle. “Of course he’s ying a big game–how else is he supposed to pass the mother–inw test?”

    Abel went quiet.

    iUh/ii… /iigood /iipoint/i.

    They all knew Victor had feelings for Tessa.

    It was strange how fast it happened–Victor had never shown interest in any woman before.

    And now he was suddenly into that washboard?

    Since he liked her, naturally he had to help her mom deal with Ashen Pact.

    “Should we give Miss Marie a heads–up?” Abel asked.

    Marie was furious enough to want to skin Dan alive, and that was without knowing anything yet.

    “No need,” Abraham said. “Derrick’s there. Nothing will happen.”

    Speaking of Derrick…

    Abel couldn’t help thinking—he really was something else.
