Sebastian’s mouth twitched when he heard Madam Evelyn was forcing the issue.

Of all people to betray, he had chosen Marie. Did he really think he could afford to provoke the Dawson family?
Yes, Ashen Pact’s influence was tangled and sprawling.
But compared to the Dawsons, it was nothing.
Derrick drew on his cigarette, eyes narrowing. “Then we’ll take Loren Lake.”
Sebastian: “…”
Kale: “…”

The two exchanged a look, each sensing where this was heading.
Sebastian scratched his head. “Wait. Are we actually splitting up Ashen Pact’s resources now?”
Everyone knew Ashen Pact sat on some of the most valuable natural holdings in the world.
But because of its complexity, no one had dared move in–not for fear of starting a war with them.
And yet…
Madam Evelyn had just claimed Cyren Mines. Now Derrick was laying claim to Loren Lake?
This was starting to look a lot like carving Ashen Pact apart.
Derrick took another drag, lips curling into a cold smile through the haze of smoke.
“I wonder which piece Mr. Victor plans to take.”
He hadn’t met Victor yet.
But with Madam Evelyn making her move, and now Derrick himself, Victor would surely recognize the signal.
Sebastian muttered, “So this isn’t just about forcing them to hand over Tessa–it’s about gutting them in the process?”

Derrick only laughed, saying nothing.

Victor received word of Madam Evelyn’s and Derrick’s demands.
A flicker of depth passed through his eyes. He understood perfectly.
Madam Evelyn was striking out for Marie’s sake. Derrick was backing Marie–and pressing for
Tessa.
Across the room, Tessa sat sipping juice and nibbling flatbread, blissfully unaware.
Victor turned to Silas. “Then we’ll take Caesarville.”
Silas stiffened. “Caesarville?”
That was the crown jewel–the site of Ashen Pact’s rarest raw material fields. Thanks to its unique climate, it produced the key ingredient for an anti–aging drug.
A drug that could slow time itself.
The global market for it was worth tens of billions each year.
Caesarville wasn’t just valuable. It was irreplaceable.
With Evelyn taking Cyren, Derrick claiming Loren Lake, and Victor now naming Caesarville…
Together, they were slicing through the very lifelines of Ashen Pact.
Lewis frowned. “But Caesarville is run by Dale himself. If it’s that important, will he really hand it over?”
From where he stood, it sounded impossible—like a fool’s errand.
Victor glanced at him like he was an idiot. The look alone made Lewis’s chest tighten.
He quickly turned to Silas for help, but Silas only sighed, weary of covering for his lack of tact.
“I’ll see to it right away,” Silas said.
Victor added coolly, “And tell Dale–if my mother–in–law suffers even the slightest harm, he’ll
answer to me.”
Dale hadn’t dared face him, sending Artemis as a shield instead.
That alone deserved a warning. Derrick’s maneuver had given him the perfect opening.

Three sites, three arteries of Ashen Pact—if that didn’t make Dale hand Diana over, nothing would.
Silas departed to carry out the orders.
Meanwhile, Tessa brought Victor another plate. “The flatbread here is really good. And this juice.”
Though her appetite was poor, she forced herself to eat. On the plane, Victor had told her bluntly: if she didn’t eat properly, he’d send her straight to Stella’s side and bar her from any involvement in her mother’s affairs.
The man was domineering.
And she… she didn’t dare test him.
She longed for Stella.
But she longed for her mother even more.
Lewis, still lingering, noticed what she’d poured. “He won’t drink that sour stuff-”
One glare from Victor silenced him.
Lewis’s stomach knotted. Was his mouth cursed? Every word seemed to land wrong.
Without another sound, he slipped out. Better not to stay in this killing field.
Left alone with Victor, Tessa looked up at him hopefully. “There’s only juice here. I tried them all–the lemon’s the only one that’s decent.”
Victor lifted the glass, tasting the icy sweet–and–sour.
“Not bad. You’re even learning to take care of others.”
He thought back to the chaos she’d caused at his villa, nearly burning down the kitchen.
Now, though it was only juice and bread, he had to admit–she’d grown.

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....
