Chapter 639 Abraham Has A What?
She also didn’t think Derrick would dare. But then why would he say something like that?
Marie scoffed. “Ignore his nonsense. Probably has to do with that grudge involving the Tom family again.”
At the mention of Derrick’s so–called confession, Marie’s voice was full of disdain.
She figured that bastard would do anything these days just for the sake of his mother’s old vendetta.
But how did this end up involving Dan and the whole scapegoat situation? Marie couldn’t quite make sense of it.
“Alright, I’m done talking. We’ll handle Tessa’s situation when I get back tomorrow.”
Stella asked, “And when exactly are you coming back?”
“Tomorrow,” Marie said after thinking for a moment, giving Stella a rough estimate.
But Stella didn’t buy it. “You think you can get those things back from Evie in just two days?”
Evie was ruthless.
Anything that ended up in her hands was basically gone forever; good luck trying to pry it out again.
So when Marie said she’d be back tomorrow, Stella found it hard to believe.
Unless Marie planned on giving up those things Evie had taken.
Marie chuckled. “You underestimate your sister. Have Zhang wait for me at the airport tomorrow.”
Stella went quiet. Well, Evie might be doomed.
Whenever her sister sounded that confident, it usually meant she already had a plan to deal with Evie.
Just as Marie was about to hang up, Stella stopped her. “Wait.”
“What now?”
“Dan might actually be the current leader of the Ashen Pact.”
Marie was stunned. What did she just say?
“Isn’t he the lord of Frapucu?”
Stella replied, “And also the one running the Ashen Pact.”
Victor had said it was just a possibility; Abraham had said the same. But Stella went ahead and stated it as fact.
The air on the line went still.
Then Marie let out a cold laugh. “Ha. Using me like that? When I get back, I’m going to kill him.”
She’d mostly made peace with being used, but finding out about the Ashen Pact–realizing she’d been manipulated like that–was a whole different story.
Marie hung up the phone.
Stella pouted and sat there, her mind spinning with everything Marie had just said.
She really didn’t think it was Derrick either.
If it were him, things never would’ve gone that far.
But if it wasn’t Derrick, then why say it was? Ugh, none of this makes sense anymore.
Derrick had already been confusing enough; now this whole thing with Dan was getting weirder by the second.
Just as she was about to put her phone down, Eddie’s name popped up on the screen. She answered, “Hey, Eddie.”
Full–on sobbing. What kind of man had to be pushed so far that he didn’t even care about saving face anymore?
“I haven’t showered in ten days. I get one bottle of water a day. Star, you have to help me! Abraham’s doing this on purpose, he’s trying to ruin me!”
And yeah, it made sense.
Stella replied sweetly, “Well, in that case, I’ll hang up.”
“Wait, no! Don’t hang up!”
“Why not? I’m just as bad,‘ remember? No way I’m going to say anything nice for you.”
“I was wrong.”
His tone changed instantly, soft, pleading.
You had to give Eddie credit; when it came to admitting fault, the man was lightning–fast and impressively flexible.
Stella teased, “Where’s your pride?”
“What pride? I smell so bad, I’m about to pass out from my own stench.”
It was painfully obvious just how much Eddie valued cleanliness.
Stella said, “From where I’m sitting, sounds like your mouth didn’t get a good rinse either.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? You think I’m being rude? I haven’t even said anything!”
Stella went quiet. True, he really hadn’t said anything all that bad.
The guy had been exiled to the middle of nowhere in Milbar Desert, and he still didn’t seem to realize why. Gosh, when someone’s truly hopeless, they become unstoppable.
“Please, just say a few nice words for me,” Eddie begged. “He said I have to stay here for two years.
It hadn’t even been that long, and Eddie was already losing it.
If he couldn’t get out of that godforsaken place soon, he really might go insane.

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....
