Chapter 765 Can’t Believe It’s Him

She had worked herself into a fever with worry; after turning Ashen Pact upside down, she discovered Tessa had never even been in their hands.

“And now she’s already furious just thinking Tessa’s with you–if she finds out she’s been with Victor all along…”

The thought was unbearable.

Marie’s greatest fear these past weeks had been not being able to give Victor an explanation.

And now, Tessa had been with Victor the whole time.

Stella shot Abraham a reproachful look. Abraham sighed. “What did she say to you?”

“She told me to pack my things.”

The moment he heard that, Abraham’s face darkened like a thundercloud.

Always threatening to run off with Stella…

That damned girl. His head pounding, he soothed Stella first, then headed to his study to call Marie.

Meanwhile, Marie was still fuming after her tirade; her anger refused to settle.

When Abraham’s call came through, she rejected it. Hung up.

Then it rang again…

And then Derrick’s voice answered.

“I thought you’d given up on this sister of yours,” Derrick sneered.

His tone over the phone was bold, openly mocking Abraham.

“Put Marie on,” Abraham ordered.

“She’s crying so hard she threw up. She doesn’t want to talk to you.”

Crying so hard she threw up–Derrick was driving home just how devastated Marie was.

Abraham’s face sank. “Derrick!”

“You know, Abraham, this is rich. After all these years of her giving you everything-”

“One more word, and I’ll make sure you never set foot in Falvaria again.”

“You still have the nerve to threaten me?”

Derrick snapped.

The man still dared to threaten him…

After being hounded like a dog across the globe all these years, Derrick’s blood boiled at the

memory.

But no matter what, he still wouldn’t hand over the phone to Marie.

“You really want to owe me for this?” Abraham’s voice cut like steel.

“Wait, I’m saying-”

Arrogant, wasn’t he? Fine; it was his turn to be arrogant.

The thing was, when Abraham said something, he meant it. If he barred Derrick from Falvaria, it would be a real problem.

At last, Derrick thrust the phone at Marie. “Your brother’s on the line.”

“Get that away from me!” she snapped.

“She won’t take it-”

“Derrick!”

The

way Abraham barked those two syllables was dangerous, laced with a chilling threat.

“Hey, she won’t answer you. Why are you threatening me?” Derrick shot back.

Couldn’t the man be reasonable for once?

Sure, he had made mistakes with Stella back then, letting them be separated for nearly three

years.

But hadn’t he found her now?

“Fine, fine–you’ve scared me enough.”

When it came to Abraham, Derrick always felt helpless, as if he could never win.

He tried again, shoving the phone toward Marie. “Take it, will you? Please? I’m begging you here.”

Marie rolled her eyes at him.

Derrick kept shooting her desperate looks.

0:

What could he do? Even if he wasn’t wrong in this matter, Abraham was stronger.

The weaker man was always the one who had to swallow his pride, take the threats, and endure.

Seeing Derrick’s pitiful face, Marie finally snatched the phone, pressed it to her ear, and growled, “Talk. You’ve got three sentences.”

Her tone left no doubt-

If he failed to soothe her in those three lines, she’d be done with him; she wouldn’t even call him brother anymore, and she’d steal his wife just to spite him.

Hearing her voice again, Abraham exhaled in relief.

Yes, she was furious; but at least she was still willing to speak.

What she didn’t know was that the part that would truly enrage her was still ahead.

“Do you remember why Victor came to the Dawson family in the first place?” Abraham asked.

“Victor?”

Of course, she remembered. Victor…

Even before he joined Abraham, his own power had been rising like dawn spreading across the world.

And after following Abraham all these years, that momentum had only grown; his influence spread like wildfire, yet he never made a move, always holding back, conserving his strength.

Until Abraham asked just now, Marie had nearly forgotten the reason Victor had first aligned with him.

But his question brought the memory flooding back.

“He said that if he ever sought revenge in the future, you’d have to stand with him.”

Wait… Why bring that up now?

“Are you saying Victor’s enemy… is Ashen Pact?”

That couldn’t be, could it? Abraham simply nodded, offering no further explanation.

But Marie was left reeling. “His power’s been strong enough for years; if he wanted revenge, he could have taken it already.”

Ashen Pact might look divided now.

But back then, they had been unified; their network was deep–rooted and sprawling.

If Victor had wanted revenge, surely he’d had his chances long before this.
