The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763 I’m Taking Stella Away

She wasn’t just shutting down, she was imploding.

In Falvaria, at the Dawson estate, Abraham had just finished reviewing a few documents in his study and was about to join a video conference when Marie’s call came through.

The depth in his expression darkened as he answered. “Speak.”

“How could you

do this to me? Do you even realize I’ve been sick with worry–I literally threw up! Why would you treat me like this?”

“I tore Ashen Pact apart; I thought Tessa had already died there. I’ve been convinced this whole time I’d have no way to explain it to Victor…”

The more she spoke, the more wronged she felt.

By the end, she broke down crying.

Abraham went quiet.

“You’re way out of line! If you wanted something from Ashen Pact, you could’ve just taken it; I’d have helped you. Why did you have to use Tessa against me like this?”

Marie completely lost it–sobbing, shouting.

It was obvious now…

Just like Derrick, she believed Abraham had simply set his sights on something within Ashen Pact. But so what if he had? Hadn’t he taken plenty of things over the years?

No matter the means, in the end, those things always ended up in his hands. Why would he need to manipulate my anger at Dan just to move against Ashen Pact?

They never needed emotions, or even reasons, to destroy someone.

Through it all, Marie had always been strong.

No matter what happened, she had never cried—except that one time, when Dan died.

That time she hadn’t just cried; she had gone mad.

Now, hearing her sobbing over the phone, Abraham pressed his fingers against his aching brow.

“Haven’t you always been furious with Dan?” he asked quietly.

“That doesn’t mean you can do this to me!”

Abraham was speechless.

“You’re too much–you’re the worst, the absolute worst brother in the world! I’ll steal Stella away; I’ll make sure you lose your wife!”

Marie was fuming.

She knew Stella was Abraham’s treasure, the one thing he could never afford to lose.

At that moment, she was determined—she’d take Stella and let him taste the agony of panic himself.

Abraham’s head already throbbed from her tears; now his face turned black at her threat. “Don’t you dare!”

“Just watch me. Hmph! You better watch yourself these next few days.”

“You-”

Before he could finish, Marie hung up.

When he tried calling back, she rejected the call. Again–still busy on another line.

Meanwhile, Stella had been sleeping soundly, only to be woken by the ringing phone. Groggy, she picked it up.

“Hello,” Her voice was thick with sleep.

“Stella, do you love me more, or Abraham? Tell me–am I more important, or is Abraham more important to you?”

Marie’s voice was sharp, frantic.

Stella’s mind was still foggy; with Marie shouting at her like this, she was even more disoriented.

Instead of answering, she asked, “What happened?”

“Just tell me who matters more to you?”

“You?”

Why was she asking something like this now? Stella’s mind began to clear.

Marie’s heart eased slightly at her answer. “Good. Then pack your things right away.”

“Huh? Wait, what-”

“I’ll come get you tomorrow morning at the latest.”

“Where are we going?”

Pick her up?

That snapped Stella fully awake. She could tell something was very wrong with Marie’s tone.

“We’re going somewhere we’ve always wanted to go. Just you and me; no Abraham, that bastard.”

Oh no.

This wasn’t just wrong–it was completely wrong.

Hearing Marie’s furious voice, Stella finally pieced it together.

This was about Abraham.

“What did he do to you?”

But wait, that didn’t make sense. He hadn’t done anything. Since returning, he had been right by her side.

Her mind flashed back to the time Marie had whisked her away for training.

“I’m pregnant–with triplets.”

“I know. That doesn’t change anything.”

“I can’t train anymore.”

Her voice trembled as she said it; she felt like crying too, proof of how deeply those training memories scarred her.

And they were not good memories.

“I won’t train you,” Marie said firmly.

“Then what do you want?”

“Abraham’s no good. We’re not living with him anymore.”

Stella’s mouth twitched. “What on earth happened?”

Stella thought. What could Abraham possibly have done to drive Marie into this kind of rage?
