Chapter 662 Cut the Thread
Tessa and Victor, and then Diana
Dan lifted his eyes, a cold glint slicing through the air. “If it comes to it, make sure she doesn’t come back from Marie alive.
A dangerous chill swept through the hospital room.
Conan nodded. ‘Understood.”
She absolutely couldn’t be allowed to return alive.
Especially now that she was in Marie’s hands–this was the perfect moment.
If Victor truly sided with Diana because of Tessa, it would be catastrophic for them.
Conan had only joined Dan’s side two days ago, having previously worked under Dennis.
He was sharp, calculating, and vicious–and completely loyal to Dan.
Any threat to Dan, and he’d eliminate it with ruthless precision.
And if Victor really was aligning with Diana because of Tessa, that alliance would be disastrous.
Conan’s eyes narrowed, his tone darker. “And Mr. Derrick? What’s the plan for him?”
At the mention of Derrick, Dan’s expression turned deadly.
Dennis had died by his hand. That debt still had to be paid.
Dan closed his eyes, his voice low and cold. “Handle Tessa first. Leave Derrick for later.”
That bastard Derrick… his time would come.
Conan nodded. “Understood.”
Right now, the top priority was Tessa.
She could become the vital link between Victor and Diana.
And that could not be allowed to happen.
On Derrick’s side-
He was sipping red wine with Bernard, who had a cigar between his fingers as he watched him closely.
“That night… you two really…”
He didn’t finish the sentence,
He’d left after escorting Derrick to his room that night, completely unaware of everything that followed.
Especially the chaos Marie stirred up afterward.
Bernard had initially thought Marie’s public blow–up with Dan, right after marrying Derrick, was some calculated insult.
Who would’ve guessed….
Derrick took a sip of wine. “You think I’d lie?”
Even Bernard–usually unreadable–couldn’t stop the twitch of his mouth at that.
Marie beating Dan half to death and sending him to the hospital… it was almost comical.
Bernard muttered, “That Dan… what an absolute sucker.”
He’d heard Dan was still stuck in the hospital.
Derrick was amused too.
Hell yes, he was a sucker.
And it wasn’t over yet–Marie still didn’t believe the man that night had been him.
Which meant once she was done with her current plans, Dan might get a few more rounds of beatings.
What the hell was Marie doing? Since when did she make it that easy to track her down?
“We’re going too?” Sebastian’s eye twitched.
Derrick said, “Tessa’s training’s just started. You think she’s a threat already?”
Sebastian went silent.
So they were going… to help Tessa?
No, not just to help Marie–Derrick also wanted to give Dan another headache.
Still, this meant going head–to–head with Victor.
Sebastian’s head was spinning.
Marie, Dan, Derrick, Victor… they were all tangled together now.
And it was a mess.
Meanwhile, at the Dawson estate-
Stella was having issues of her own.
The moment she saw the media coverage from Rivermount over the past few days, her face darkened.
The phone rang. It was Rianne.
“You saw it, didn’t you? Had to be Ethan’s doing–he’s trying to trash your reputation.”
The news in Rivermount was everywhere.
Reports claiming Stella had disowned the Reed family because she looked down on them–because of bloodlines.
Some even claimed Abraham had abandoned Ethan.

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....
