The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 634

Chapter 634 Stop Crying, Start Shooting

There wasn’t another house in sight, no matter how far you looked..

Lewis asked, “You mean the shooting range out back?”

The open field behind the villa, nestled up against a small hill. Tessa had seen Victor practice shooting there before.

She nodded. “Yeah.”

“And what are you going there for? Planning to roll around in the grass?”

Tessa frowned. “What is wrong with you? Why is everything that comes out of your mouth so weird?”

Was she insane? Why would she want to roll around in the grass?

Lewis asked, “Then what are you going for?”

“You’re going to teach me to shoot.”

She couldn’t sleep anyway; might as well start learning now!

In truth, ever since Victor revealed her true identity, she’d known that everything she’d learned in her earlier years–the skills she’d cultivated–would be useless in the future that lay ahead.

The Ashen Pact…

Her mother–the Ashen Pact’s future leader.

Yes, Tessa firmly believed that her mother now stood in direct opposition to the Ashen Pact; and she was certain her mother would win.

With that identity in mind, she had to become the next Stella.

She had to become stronger than Stella.

Back in Rivermount, when she’d first met Stella, she’d never understood where that girl had learned her combat skills–or what they were even for.

Later, when she learned Stella’s true identity, she finally understood, someone with that kind of status, no matter how protected they seemed, had to be capable of defending themselves.

And as for her, now…

Her mother lived on the edge of a blade; constantly clashing with enemies. She wouldn’t have the time to protect Tessa.

So, she had to become even stronger than Stella–and even more ruthless.

The moment Lewis heard she wanted to shoot, his eyes filled with suspicion. “What for? Trying to set me up?”

That was his first reaction.

Then came the second, “You trying to confuse us?”

“What?”

Where did that even come from?

His train of thought jumped so wildly, she couldn’t follow it at all.

+ Pearis!

Lewis said, “I don’t buy it. If you were really an undercover agent, there’s no way you wouldn’t know basic shooting.”

Tessa was stunned. Seriously? He still thought I was some kind of mole?

Lewis perked up immediately, clearly energized by the idea. “Hey, wait–so you and your mom really broke things off with the Ashen Pact, huh?”

“If you ask me, that should’ve happened ages ago. Dale’s trash.”

“According to the data, he and his current wife supposedly have one son and twin daughters–but that doesn’t quite add up, does it?”

Tessa blinked. “What do you mean it doesn’t add up?”

“Eh, just that the whole Ashen Pact is a mess; like a chicken coop turned upside down.”

Information on the Ashen Pact was heavily locked down. It was almost impossible for outsiders to dig into.

Especially when it came to the current leader.

Lewis always had a gut feeling that–besides Dale, who had supposedly stepped down, there might be more than one person pulling the strings.

He added, “Anyway, you don’t have to go to such lengths to mislead us. As long as my brother trusts you, that’s enough. But you’d better not try anything against him–if you do, we will kill you.”

These people were loyal to Victor–completely, without question.

Seeing he’d finally shut up about the Ashen Pacy, Tessa rolled her eyes at him. “So are you teaching me or not?”

“I mean, I…”

Watching Lewis fumble, clearly conflicted, Tessa didn’t even bother responding anymore. She stormed off toward the stairs.

She marched off with heavy, determined steps; Lewis scrambled to catch up. “Hey! You really don’t have to go this far!”

My head hurts… Tessa thought.

That was, until Lewis shoved a gun into her hands–and she froze, not even daring to pull the trigger.

At first, Lewis thought she was faking it–just being dramatic.

But once she fired her first shot, the recoil hit so hard she couldn’t even hold the gun steady.

That’s when Lewis finally started to believe her.
