Chapter 660 The Cruel Truth
So Tessa really did matter to Victor.
That meant Marie had to be careful with her training–no injuries.
After that, Marie didn’t say another word. She simply hung up the call and turned to Sophia.
“Huh. Guess he really would give anything.”
Back when Sophia told her Victor was spreading the word in Falvaria–saying he’d give her whatever she wanted–Marie hadn’t believed it.
But now? Hearing it from his mouth?
She believed it.
“What a pleasant surprise.”
So Victor had a thing for Tessa? That just meant Diana had scored one hell of an ally.
Dan… was screwed.
Sophia said, “We need to move.”
“What?”
Now what?
Sophia replied, “Mr. Victor’s people are too good. They’ve already tracked our location.”
Marie gawked. “What? It’s barely been two minutes!”
“Exactly.”
Less than two minutes–and they were already locked on.
They had seriously underestimated Victor’s people.
Marie’s face turned dark. “Well then, what the hell are we waiting for? Pack up and move!”
Sophia was stunned for a second.
Tessa was training with Yuanbing at the shooting range.
She’d learned the basics from Victor three days ago, but after not practicing for a while, she’d already forgotten most of it.
When Marie showed up, she was just in time to witness Tessa’s horribly inaccurate form.
Marie raised a hand to her forehead.
Ugh. At this rate, she’d need a full month just to get the basics down.
Tessa spotted her and gave a dramatic eye–roll. Marie snorted, “Well, would you look at that? Little white- eyed wolf just rolled her eyes at me.”
Sophia couldn’t help but laugh behind her hand.
After the way Marie had pushed her these past few days, even the kindest soul would’ve turned resentful. An eye–roll was practically a love letter.
Yuanbing looked at Marie. “What brings you here?”
“Pack it up. We’re moving.”
Tessa blinked. “Moving?”
Why?
Marie shot her a glare. “Victor’s closing in, Hurry it up.”
They were already being tracked. It was only a matter of time before Victor showed up in person.
And once they left here, it wouldn’t be easy to find another spot this secluded.
After all, this place had worked because Victor hadn’t been on high alert yet. But next time? No chance.
As soon as Tessa heard Victor was coming, her eyes lit up.
God.
Marie said. “Those two freaks came after you because your mom is a threat to their mother–the one your dad really loves.”
And if Diana did win?
Then the next battle would be between Dan and Diana.
Marie’s blunt breakdown finally made Tessa understand the brutal reality her mother was facing within the Ashen Pact.
Watching the light drain from Tessa’s face little by little…
Marie said, “Once you leave me, your dad or your brother Dan will always be looking to snatch you up to control your mom.”
“Even a tiger has off days. Are you sure staying with Victor guarantees your safety?“”
Why hadn’t Dan made a move on Tessa during her time in Falvaria?
First–because of Victor.
Second—because the fight between Diana and Dale had only just begun. It wasn’t time yet.
But once that war reached its climax–and if Diana actually won?
Then Tessa would be in even more danger.
Right now, Dale’s people wanted to capture her.
But when the time came, it would be Dan’s.
Tessa went quiet.
After hearing all this, her breathing turned unsteady.
She shut her eyes, trying to force the rising panic back down.
Family…
What a sick joke it was, when even blood relatives turned out to be the sharpest knives.

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....
