Chapter 661 The Blade Takes Form
“Alright. I’ll go with you.”
The moment Tessa opened her eyes, they were filled with unwavering determination.
Three days ago, she’d been taken–drugged and kidnapped by Marie without knowing a thing.
Then came the brutal, non–stop physical training.
She’d spent those days resisting, unwilling.
She had hoped to retreat back to Victor, where his people might train her at a pace she could handle.
But now–she understood.
Marie’s way was the only way.
Under this kind of pressure, she could truly become strong–strong enough to stand safely behind her mother.
Tessa looked at Marie, breath catching. “Why are you helping me?”
“Is it a crime to want that bastard Dan dead?” Marie said with a smile tugging at her lips.
If that man was truly a cold–blooded machine, then blood ties and family could be sharpened into blades
aimed at his throat.
Tessa narrowed her eyes. “You hate him? Only people who’ve loved deeply end up hating like that.”
To her, Dan wasn’t worth loving.
Certainly not worth hating–hate was still a kind of emotion, after all.
Marie’s smile only widened. “Hate? No, I want him dead. And not easily, either.”
When she said the word dead, it floated off her tongue like a joke.
Tessa could tell–Marie truly didn’t love him anymore.
Packing didn’t take long.
As they were about to board the helicopter, Tessa suddenly grabbed the hem of Marie’s dress.
Marie turned to squint at her. “What?”
“Marie, I want to call Victor.”
Tessa gazed up with pleading eyes, her tone softer than ever before.
That softness instantly reminded Marie of her sweet Star.
Back then, when Stella had tugged on her sleeve and said she wanted to call her brother-
Even then, Marie hadn’t softened. Hadn’t let her contact Abraham.
And now? Tessa trying to pull the same move?
Not a chance.
Marie gently yanked her dress out of Tessa’s grasp. “Nope.”
Tessa pouted, “Stella-!”
“Whining won’t help.”
Marie huffed and climbed aboard the helicopter.
Looking back at Tessa–those pitiful eyes nearly made her swear out loud.
Damn brat. She’s almost as good at playing cute as Star
But even Star couldn’t soften her heart back then.
This time? No way.
This girl was a blade aimed at Dan.
Marie wasn’t about to let that blade get dull now.
“You coming or not?”
Once she got back, she could just pull an Evie–get sticky fingers and steal it.
That’s why they had to keep the whole area under watch.
“The jet’s almost ready. We should get to the airport.”
Victor gave a brief nod. “Mn.”
As Victor headed for the airport, Dan got wind of it immediately.
He sent orders to mobilize his people near Spada Island.
These past few days, Dan had gone mad trying to find Tessa.
Privately, of course–he didn’t want her to get stronger.
So ever since Marie took her, he’d been tracking both Derrick and Victor.
“Damn it. These relationships are a freaking mess.”
Dan cursed under his breath.
Conan asked, “What if it becomes urgent?”
Messy, sure.
But right now, Tessa had become the linchpin of that chaos.
Dan went quiet.
Urgent?
At this point, they couldn’t afford to leave Tessa alive.
He hadn’t expected Victor and Tessa to develop anything this quickly.
They’d barely just met.
But now… Victor’s actions said it all.
They’d underestimated his feelings for her–and that could be dangerous.

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....
