Faking love? Faking death?

That wasn’t something a normal human could even pull off–and yet that absolute piece of shit had actually done it. Worse still, he was related to her by blood.
The more she thought about it, the more Tessa felt life was unfair. Why did fate have to tie her to that kind of scumbag?
Hearing the urgency in her voice, the man narrowed his eyes slightly. “Are you defending her?”
“No, I’m not,” she said quickly. “I’m just being honest.”
After spending time with Marie, Tessa finally understood why there had never been any melodrama between Stella and Marie–no jealousy, no rivalry, no fight over who was the real daughter.
All that nonsense that happened in the Reed family never played out in the Dawson family.
Because the Dawsons were generous, open–minded, and never got caught up in petty drama. Each of them had real depth and character.
Growing up in an environment like that, how could Stella possibly turn out like Lillian, that pretentious slut?
No wonder Stella never bothered to explain herself when Lillian tried to start something with her.
Half the time, she’d just go straight to throwing punches because talking felt like a waste of time.
“Well, I think she’s pretty great,” Tessa muttered.

Victor’s lips curved into a smile. He stood up, pulled her into his arms,
and scooped her up effortlessly.
Tessa was light as a feather.
Lifting her felt no harder than picking up a bunny.
“Put me down–I can walk on my own!”
Victor ignored her protests and carried her straight toward the dining hall. She struggled, but it was no use.
By now, Lewis and Silas had already left the dining room.
Tessa glanced at the table, overflowing with dishes meant to boost curves.
She instinctively looked down at her own chest.
Tessa went quiet.
So flat.
Victor ladled her a bowl of papaya fish head soup and placed it in front of her. She looked up at him with wide, pitiful eyes.
“What?” he asked.
“Do you think I’m… lacking?” she asked softly.
Victor was stunned.
She sniffled a little. Living so freely all those years in Rivermount, no one had ever made her feel inadequate before.
And honestly, she’d never cared much about her body.

It was probably Stella’s fault–Stella had never shown the slightest interest in Ethan. She was all about her own goals, living however she liked.
But now someone was personally feeding her soup for boobs, and Tessa was starting to crack.
She looked completely wronged.
Victor, on the other hand, was totally unfazed. “No. You don’t have to drink it if you don’t want to.”
“…I’ll drink it.”
After all, it wouldn’t hurt her body. Might as well take the chance to nourish herself.
And hey—if it did improve her figure, even better.
So the once–pitiful Tessa…
Ended up slurping down bowl after bowl of soup right under Victor’s
nose.
By the time she reached her fourth bowl, Victor frowned. “You sure you can still eat?”
“Of course I can.” Tessa beamed. “Totally.”
She’d been half–starving lately. Her dainty little stomach wasn’t so dainty
anymore.
Suddenly, she understood why Stella could eat so much.
People with strong bodies needed a lot of fuel.

In the afternoon, Tessa asked Victor when she’d resume training. She wanted a nap first.
But Victor said, “If you’re tired, skip it.”
“Wait–really?”
“That mess at Ashen Pact? It’s not worth killing yourself over.”
“Mess?” Tessa blinked.

Ashen Pact was currently in chaos–people were literally fighting over control.
And he was calling that a small mess?
Then what counted as a big deal to him?
Victor said, “Silas just called. Your other brother, Manny, got seriously injured. Now Dale’s focusing all his attention on that son of his. Your mom’s finally catching her breath. If she’s ruthless enough…”
He looked at Tessa, hesitating for a moment before continuing.
“If your mom is really ruthless, now’s her best shot at wiping them all out.”
“She damn well better be ruthless,” Tessa snapped.
At a time like this, why hold back?
Seeing her puff up like a little tiger, Victor smiled. “Yeah. Ruthless is exactly what she needs to be.”
“When she’s cleaned house, you’ll be the undisputed princess of Ashen
Pact.”

“I don’t care about being a princess,” Tessa said. “I just want Dale dead.”
Over the past few days, Marie had laid out the entire web of Ashen Pact for her.
Dan was a bastard, sure—but every man in the Morris family was garbage.
And Dale? That scumbag spent years protecting his mistress and only ever cared about her kid.
If that little brat was so precious to him, then why’d he go have other kids with someone else?
And now that those kids exist, he has the nerve to act like they’re an eyesore?
What kind of logic was that?
Victor laughed…
“Then let’s wait for your mom to finish him off.”

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....
