However, the aura of Stella and Abraham’s wedding had yet to dissipate.

Abraham was so powerful–so powerful that one wedding revealed everything: it revealed that he truly held Stella in the palm of his hand.

Did Patrick and Jonathan not want to go to the wedding?

No, the truth was, they simply couldn’t get in…

Abraham’s wedding was packed with influential figures tonight. But he was a man who prioritized Stella; as soon as the ceremony ended, he took Stella and left.

Derrick and Abel, however, were swamped with work.

Marie, also heavily pregnant, was exhausted.

Since Derrick wasn’t around, she couldn’t be bothered to return to the Tom family and decided to go back to the Dawson family to sleep.

But halfway there, her car was intercepted…

Dan emerged from the Maybach in front of her. The man was dressed in a black suit, and even from a distance, Marie could feel the hostility emanating from his fierce, dark eyebrows.

The moment her car door was pulled open, Marie looked at him mockingly: “I recall that the Ashen Pact is about to be torn to shreds, isn’t it?”

“If you lose the upper hand now, the Ashen Pact will truly have to change its name away the Mo surname.”

What kind of state was the Ashen Pact in now?

Artemis’s three children weren’t Dale’s, and Dan was the heir confirmed by DNA testing.

But now Diana and Dale were fighting, and the entire Ashen Pact was lost in confusion.

The question of who the next ruler would be was at a critical juncture.

Yet Dan showed up here.

Meeting the sarcasm in Marie’s eyes, Dan pressed his thin lips together and slowly lowered his

gaze.

It finally settled on Marie’s still–flat abdomen…

Marie noticed where his eyes landed and frowned: “What?”

“It’s still there?”

He was referring to the child.

Marie raised an eyebrow: “…”

Seeing Dan ask about the child, she was clearly displeased: “What is it? Do you have an objection?”

Her casual attitude made Dan’s face grow cold.

His demeanor now was completely different from before.

He stared intently at Marie’s belly, as if he wished to bore a hole through it.

The emotions in his eyes were incredibly complex: anger, pain, and confusion.

Marie caught his gaze, somewhat confused, and instinctively placed a hand over her lower abdomen.

Her look toward Dan sharpened instantly.

“Take that malicious stare back,” Marie warned coldly, then added, “Otherwise, I will want to kill you.”

Dan’s breath hitched: “You want to kill me? You want me dead?”

Marie: “…”

Did she want him dead?

The moment she learned he had faked his death, she truly wished he had died.

If he had, he would have at least remained alive in their best memories.

But he was alive.

That meant their beautiful past was tainted with flaws, lies, and schemes.

Their supposed happiness was just a joke.

Dan crouched down, his broad palm covering the back of Marie’s hand resting on her

abdomen.

Marie’s expression hardened, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand away.

But Dan unconsciously applied force, holding her fast.

Marie’s face darkened further: “Are you looking for a fight?”

Finished

At the mention of fighting, Dan let out a bitter laugh: “Haven’t you hit me enough before? Are

still angry?” you

Marie: “Let go.”

Marie did not want to bring up the foolish mistake of hitting the wrong person.

If she were to talk about it, she had been overly trusting of Derrick’s claim of innocence in that

matter.

But Derrick–he was far more daring than she gave him credit for…

Before Marie could react, Dan lowered his forehead to rest on the back of the hand he was holding.

His warm breath fanned across Marie’s abdomen.

This close contact made Marie immediately furious: “Dan!”

“Marie, I forgot so much before.”

Marie: “…” What did he mean?
