Chapter 638 Your Sister’s Gonna Kill Me
Stella said. “I’m glad you’re thinking that way.”
If Dan really was the one in charge of the Ashen Pact, then things were definitely getting more and more complicated.
The moment Stella realized Dan was very likely the Ashen Pact’s leader, she suddenly understood why he had faked his death all those years ago.
The Ashen Pact and the Luke Family had always been at odds.
If he’d wanted to use marriage as a way to gain leverage, the Luke Family would’ve been a dead end, no wonder he’d gotten engaged to Ella instead.
At this point, Stella was more convinced than ever that Dan had approached Marie back then with an ulterior motive.
Tessa said, “Exactly. I have to help my mom, and you know that means I need the skills to do it.”
She knew full well what kind of situation her mother was in now.
This wasn’t just some business entanglement anymore; things had gotten far more complicated.
Stella nodded. “Right.”
“My time is running out, too,” Tessa added.
Stella had thought of that as well–especially after what happened to one of those twins last night.
They were the two girls the Ashen Pact’s leader adored the most.
Stella said, “The reason I called is because I really don’t think you’re going to learn much staying by Victor’s side.
Tessa went quiet. Not learn much? But Victor was incredibly capable, wasn’t he?
She’d seen his skills firsthand.
Stella continued, “Why don’t you train with my sister’s people for a while? Just one month–and I guarantee you’ll be ready.”
Tessa asked, “Your sister?”
“I only trained with them for a month, and I know you can do it too.”
One month to become as skilled as Stella? How brutal would that be? Would she be training day and night without a break?
Tessa hesitated. “Um…”
“Tessa, you know the situation you’re heading into is dangerous. You have to understand that.”
Tessa had been about to back out; after all, she’d only wanted to learn how to shoot and run.
But hearing Stella’s words, the excuses caught in her throat and died.
More than anything, she didn’t want to become a burden to her mother.
“Okay.”
Stella smiled. “Great. It’s settled.”
As soon as Tessa agreed, Stella didn’t hesitate; she hung up and immediately called Marie.
The moment the call connected, Marie’s slightly breathless voice came through. “Star!”
“Where are you, sis?”
“You’re in Yalvoria?” Stella was surprised. That fast?
Stella went quiet. See? Everyone’s afraid of someone.
Stella went quiet. True–time was tight.
Marie scoffed. “What, do I eat people?”
Stella said quickly, “No, of course not!”
“Then what’s the problem?”
Hearing that tone, Stella knew Marie was dead serious and not about to change her mind. But wasn’t she super busy?
They talked a bit more about Tessa; somehow, the topic drifted to Derrick.
As soon as his name came up, Stella remembered what she’d overheard that morning between him and Abraham.
Lowering her voice, she said mysteriously, “Sis, I’m telling you–Dan wasn’t the one in your bed the other night.”
Marie was stunned.
“I heard it myself,” Stella went on. “Derrick told Abraham he was the one that night.”
Marie went quiet. Seriously, it was one thing for him to say that to her, but why would he say it to Abraham?
He acted like taking the fall for someone else was some kind of badge of honor.
Should she buy him a megaphone so he could announce it to all of Falvaria?
“He’s full of it. You think he’d dare?” Marie said flatly.
Even though Derrick was technically a man, Marie was convinced that if it had been him that night, he never would’ve dared to touch her like that.
“Exactly,” Stella agreed. “That was my first reaction, too, when I heard him it.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan)
Ch 489 Doesn’t this prove that Dan doesn’t actually have amnesia? Why would he go to the island with a strange woman and why would he steal from Derrick? He doesn’t know them....
Ch 488 I feel like this is going to be what Stella stole in his study in Pagenda or wherever his estate was....
Ch 485 I thought it was going to be the Reed family mine that she robbed, thus taking the Keenes product and leaving them in that situation....
Ch 483 o then, how did the Reeds fine her? How did they not know where she was from?...
Ch 477 Definitely hidden pedo in here, referring to tiny women as little girls in every way possible....
Ch 468 How could Stella inherit her adopted father’s weak stomach constitution?...
Ch 468 Abraham and Marie’s mother has been called Evelyn, Diane and Loretta.. which is it? Evelyn has been the most used....
Ch 465 She still doesn’t know the mistress is Lillian’s aunt?...
Ch 464 Why didn’t she kick her out herself be for she went to attack the mistress…...
Ch 463 This is stupid now. I understand being scared in his presence enough to not think straight, but she’s a lone more often than not and has plenty of time to think things through, especially if she has time to get gossip from Rivermount and report to Stella....
