Chapter 659 A Blade in the Making
“If Tessa ends up trained into a weapon by Marie, that’s as good as Dan gaining another enemy–Diana.”
And that would blow his entire plan to pieces.
The whole Ashen Pact could be thrown into complete chaos because of Tessa.
As soon as Derrick said that, Sebastian understood, Dan wasn’t just worried–he was afraid Diana would end up on the opposite side.
And whether she turned against him or not… that all depended on Tessa.
“Then… will Ms. Tessa really become a blade in your sister–in–law’s hand? Don’t forget–Victor’s still backing her.”
Victor’s feelings for Tessa were anything but simple. Just from how desperately he’d been looking for her the past few days, you could tell.
Who would’ve thought that eternal stone would actually sprout a flower?
Derrick let out a cold laugh. “Doesn’t matter. If Tessa stays in Marie’s hands for even one month, then yeah -she’s a blade.”
Whether Tessa truly belonged to Marie or not didn’t matter–Dan would be convinced she did.
Sebastian went quiet.
Could it really work like that?
Forget it. That was way beyond him.
But one thing Sebastian did understand–Tessa wouldn’t come out of Marie’s hands the same person she was before.
Just look at Stella back in the day.
She’d been a pampered little gem when Abraham was around.
But after Marie got done with her, she came out swinging–like a tiger cub with teeth.
“You sure that blade will be pointed at Dan?” Sebastian asked, still skeptical.
Right now, things in the Ashen Pact were tense, but it looked like Dan and Diana were more or less on the same side..
Derrick knew Sebastian was oversimplifying everything.
He scoffed. “Whatever kind of blade she turns into–one thing’s for sure. It won’t be aimed at Marie.”
Tessa’s blade might end up cutting through the whole Ashen Pact.
Dan. Dale. Manny…
Sebastian went quiet again.
Well… yeah, no surprise there.
Marie had trained plenty of blades over the years–not a single one had ever turned back on her.
When Victor got Marie’s call, a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes–but was quickly replaced by a cold, deadly edge.
“Marie?”
“It’s me, Victor.”
Victor shot a glance at Silas. Silas immediately opened his laptop, launched a program, and began live triangulation.
Marie said, “No need to waste your people’s time, Victor. You won’t find me.”
She sounded confident.
Victor’s face darkened.
“Where are you?”
He growled through gritted teeth..
Tessa. What a weird name.
Still, when Sophia told her Victor was willing to offer anything for this little bean sprout–Marie had gotten curious. Was he really that serious?
Victor answered, “Yes.”
“You–really?”
So that eternal stone had finally bloomed.
Back on Victor’s side-
He looked at Silas’s screen, where more and more red dots were converging. A faint smile tugged at his lips.
“When are you returning her?”
“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Marie asked, hesitant now.
She didn’t trust Victor not to play her.
Silas flashed Victor an “OK” sign. Victor glanced back at the screen.
Found it.
Victor gave a cold, mocking smile. “Why would I lie? Are you bringing her back yourself, or should I come pick her up?”
No one could hear the amusement in his voice–like he was toying with a little girl.
Marie didn’t catch the shift in his tone.
“I–I’ll bring her back myself. Don’t worry. I’ll deliver her on time–every inch accounted for.”
“I want her back tonight.”
Marie went quiet.
Wait–what? Tonight?!

Ch 504 Ok. I’m officially trashing this book. It keeps getting worse. Grooming, the adoptive mother accepting and approving of the grooming, now here comes Victor with the emotional and physical kidnapping, using fear to force consent… just like Abraham did all Stella’s life. Even now. It’s just too much scumbag crap on this book. On top of that, Lillian still hasn’t gotten exposed to the world and still hasn’t died and we are at over 500 chapters. Can’t even close the first arc! Goodbye!...
Ch 500 This is just getting more ridiculous, especially this Dan thing. Why isn’t Derrick going after Dan instead of Marie? It also doesn’t seem like Dan has amnesia because why would he go with Marie to that island or even think to use Marie to steal from Derrick. Why would he even know who Derrick is? He didn’t know who Abel was, supposedly. Are they all jut idiots or are we, as readers, supposed to act Ike we didn’t notice he has memories of these people and just not Marie and Abel? Ridiculous....
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?...
