Chapter 677 A Knife Named Tessa

He was willing to give her everything…

That alone showed how much Tessa meant to Victor.

For the first time, the old man had fallen–and hard. He was in love, completely and dangerously in love.

And right when things were heating up… Marie lost her.

No wonder the consequences were terrifying.

Abraham asked, “Where are you now?”

“I’m headed to Ashen Pact to settle things with that bastard Dan. If Tessa’s still alive, I’m taking her back. If she’s dead–I’ll kill Dan and give Victor his head.”

Abraham went quiet.

She wanted to snatch someone from Dan?

Ashen Pact was already on the verge of exploding. Diana and Dale were at each other’s throats, and now Marie wanted to throw herself into that mess to fight Dan?

“Tessa isn’t dead,” Abraham said calmly.

Marie blinked. “How do you know?”

“If she was, Dan would already be facing the wrath of all of Ashen Pact.”

Wait…

That’s… true?

Her birth mother. Her half–brother. Her stepmother. All of them would turn against Dan. He’d

be finished.

Her brother really did see everything clearly. Leave it to Abraham to say the one sentence that helped her brain come back online,

She’d been too shocked and frazzled to think. But now, hearing Abraham’s analysis, her heart finally began to settle.

“I’m still going,” she muttered darkly. “I’m bringing her back before Victor finds out.”

And maybe, if the opportunity came, she’d snap Dan’s neck along the way.

Meanwhile, Derrick had only just found out that Victor’s man, Silas, had gone to help Diana. The news gave him a rare flicker of satisfaction.

But that good mood didn’t last.

The next moment, word came that Marie was storming off to Ashen Pact to confront Dan.

Kale delivered the update while Sebastian sat nearby.

Derrick frowned. “She’s going to Ashen Pact? For what?”

All they knew was that Marie was going to find Dan. But why, Kale didn’t know.

“Probably to beat the hell out of him?” Kale guessed. “What else would she do? Their relationship was ruined years ago. Can’t imagine she’s going there for a friendly chat.”

At this point, everyone’s first thought when hearing “Marie is going to find Dan” was the same: Dan’s getting his ass kicked again.

Derrick was silent.

Sebastian was silent.

She was training Tessa, wasn’t she? That girl was meant to be their blade–sharpened and aimed at Dan. Why risk ruining that?

So why now?

Sebastian frowned. “You don’t think… she’s pregnant?”

The room went still.

Derrick said nothing.

Kale looked stunned.

Sebastian rubbed his neck awkwardly. “I mean… it’s possible, right? It’s been over a month since Spirit Pub. This would be about the time she’d find out.”

Derrick’s expression turned dark. “It was only once. You sure?”

Sebastian nodded. “Some people are fertile. Once is enough. And Marie’s healthy.”

He added, “And her hips don’t lie.”

That was it.

Smack!

Derrick slapped the back of his head so hard it rang.

Sebastian winced, staring at him in disbelief. “What was that for?!”

“Say something disrespectful again and I’ll rip your tongue out.”

“I didn’t mean it like that…”

Sebastian looked wronged. He always respected Marie. Who would dare not to?

Derrick shot him a glare that said you figure it out, then said nothing more.

Still, when Sebastian mentioned Marie’s strong body, something flickered in Derrick’s eyes.

A strange, unfamiliar emotion.

Expectation.

He found himself breathing unsteadily for a moment.

Expectation?

Did he… actually want to have a child with Maric?

Dammit.

What the hell was happening to him?

Sebastian grimaced. “Dan’s about to be the scapegoat of the year.”

If Marie thought the baby was Dan’s, then yeah–she’d kill him without hesitation.

Not just because of what he’d done in the past, but also because of the Ashen Pact–sodium mine debacle.

Dan had always been a thorn in her side–her sworn enemy.

And now, if she believed she was pregnant with his child?

He was as good as dead.

Sebastian’s real worry now was what if Maric one day found out the truth? That the baby wasn’t Dan’s, but Derrick’s?

What would happen to the rest of them?

He sighed. “Why doesn’t Marie trust you, anyway?” he asked Derrick softly.
