Chapter 656 Twenty–Seven Days of Hell
“Pick her up in twenty–seven days.” Derrick said.
Victor’s voice tightened. “Twenty–seven days?”
“Mm.”
Victor went silent.
He glanced over at Silas.
Silas and Lewis both looked exhausted–clearly none of them had rested in days, still scouring the world for Tessa.
Victor recalled what Abraham had said earlier. Watch Derrick closely.
He really had seen it all coming.
Victor had assumed Derrick and Marie’s marriage was nothing but a joke. But now? They were clearly the real deal.
Just as Victor opened his mouth to ask more, Derrick hung up.
Victor’s eyes darkened.
Twenty–seven days?
Like how Marie trained Stella back then?
But Tessa wasn’t Stella. Even if neither of them had prior training, Stella had grown up at Abraham’s side- she’d been exposed to all that from a young age. Even if she hadn’t participated, Abraham had taken her along to training bases for fun.
Tessa, though? She’d never even seen that kind of world. What if she literally got scared to death?
Thinking about how skittish she’d been recently, Victor felt a dull pulse pounding at his temples.
Silas asked, “Mr. Derrick knows where she is?”
“Mm,” Victor replied irritably.
Lewis said, “Then what are we waiting for? Can’t we just go to Mr. Derrick and ask for her back?”
Silas looked at Lewis like he’d grown an extra head.
Ask Derrick for Tessa? And expect him to hand her over? What a brainless thing to say.
Victor lit a cigarette, eyes sharp and focused. “Have someone follow Derrick.”
There was no way they’d get her back just by asking.
Silas nodded. “Understood.”
Lewis was baffled.
If they already knew Derrick knew where she was, why bother tailing him?
Even if they had to fight, shouldn’t they at least try to extract some information!
Man idand thousands of miles away from Falvaria-
Marie lounged on a beach chair, wearing oversized sunglasses and a wide–brimmed sunhat, sipping a glass
beton water.
Not far off. Tessa stumbled toward her, lugging a fishing net over one shoulder and a bucket in the other hand
Marie’s lips curled into a teasing smile.
Tessa was panting like a dog.
God, she was exhausted. So, so exhausted. Marie’s training was inhuman.
She was going to die.
Tessa was so sick of fish she could barely look at it without gagging.
Marie, in a red bohemian maxi dress, looked effortlessly elegant and tall.
Next to her, Tessa was a sweaty, sunburned, disheveled wreck.
When Tessa started crying again, Marie frowned in disgust. “Don’t wipe your snot on my dress.”
“Jo–Jie! I can shoot now, I swear! I’ve got great aim! You want Dan dead, right? I’ll kill that bastard for you! Just please stop torturing me!”
Marie mused, “Just kill him straight–up? Isn’t that a bit too easy?”
“No! It’s perfect! That bastard deserves to die a fast death!“.
Tessa nodded frantically.
Her eyes welled up with fresh tears. “Don’t worry, I won’t hesitate. He’s not my brother. I don’t have a brother like that!”
Just hearing Dan’s name made her want to vomit.
Tessa sniffled. “I don’t even know that jerk. Not one bit.”
Seeing Marie still unmoved, she kept pleading.
The moment she found out Dan was her so–called brother, she’d started panicking nonstop–afraid Marie would take it out on her.
She’d been completely wrecked.
Now, in Tessa’s mind, every single ounce of th
Marie, hearing her call Dan “brother,”

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....
