**Chapter 939: The Ultimate Sap**

The phone rang, and Tessa’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized the caller ID. It was Stella. “I’m getting married the day after tomorrow. Are you coming?” Stella’s voice was bright, yet there was an undercurrent of urgency in her tone.

“The day after tomorrow? That’s so sudden!” Tessa exclaimed, her mind racing to catch up with the news.

“Well, my sister’s back, so…” Stella replied, her voice trailing off, hinting at a deeper story.

Tessa remained silent, the weight of the moment pressing down on her.

Finished.

A wave of envy washed over Tessa as she thought about Stella. The entire Dawson family seemed to adore her, showering her with love and attention. It was a stark contrast to Tessa’s own experiences; her mother, though she loved her, had been largely absent throughout the years.

“Then of course I’m coming,” Tessa finally said, determination lacing her words.

Stella’s tone brightened. “You have time?”

Time? With everything that had been happening in Redwood, how could Tessa possibly find time?

“Yep. My mom’s here, so I don’t have to do anything,” Tessa replied, a hint of sarcasm creeping into her voice.

Speaking of her mom, Tessa’s gaze drifted to the stack of documents spread out before her. “Stella, I have to tell you, I’m starting to think Dale is the ultimate sap.”

Stella paused, confusion evident in her voice. “Huh?”

Tessa leaned in, lowering her voice as if sharing a secret. “Look, none of the kids are his. Artemis and her children have become well-known figures in the Ashen Pact now. But my mom just had me sign over a bunch of Ashen Pact assets.”

Stella’s eyebrows shot up. “That impressive?”

Tessa couldn’t help but marvel at the audacity of it all. “She just got here, and she’s already pulling this off?”

“That’s because my mom’s status in the Ashen Pact is too high. It’s a pit Dale dug for himself,” Tessa explained, shaking her head in disbelief.

It was undeniably true.

“These assets…” Tessa continued, her fingers nervously tracing the edges of the documents. “The ones Mom is having me sign… I’ll be taking them with me when I get married, right?”

Stella nodded eagerly. “Yep. Once they’re given to you, they’re yours.”

“So… does this count as a dowry from Dale?” Tessa asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Uh… this! Does… does it count?

Tessa’s mind raced as she considered the implications.

“It totally counts!” she declared, her excitement bubbling over. “Everything Mom is giving me now is basically my future dowry. And everything she’s giving me, she’s fleeceing from the Ashen Pact!”

When viewed through that lens, it was undeniably a dowry from Dale.

Stella fell into a contemplative silence for a moment. “Yeah, he really is the ultimate sap.”

“But… she’s just fleeceing him, and he’s not even fighting back?” Stella asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.

That was the crux of the matter.
