Chapter 788 Ashen Pact For Nothing

Derrick’s expression didn’t look good either.

Marie was so furious she felt like her insides were boiling; even her liver ached from the

pressure.

Derrick lifted the glass of water in front of him, took a sip, and asked, “Still want spicy soup?”

Marie went quiet.

“Of course I do! I have to eat!”

She bit out the words through clenched teeth. The way she said it, it was as if the soup boiling in the pot was Victor himself; in her mind, wasn’t that exactly who it was?

Truthfully, she really did wish she could throw Victor in a pot and cook him alive.

In her rage, Marie ordered a whole table full of dishes.

After the waiter left, she grabbed her water glass and gulped down several big mouthfuls. “Hey, tell me how can someone be so shameless? Didn’t I call him before?”

Derrick nodded. “Yeah, you did.”

Back then Derrick had already suspected Tessa was with Victor.

So he’d told Marie to call Victor and ask directly if Tessa was with him. And what had Victor said then?

He hadn’t said anything at all; instead, he’d smothered her with that suffocatingly dangerous aura of his until she backed off.

And Marie had been so terrified…

She didn’t even want to think about it.

“Damn it, if I hadn’t been worried about his relationship with my brother, I never would’ve swallowed that crap!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Who was going to explain to her what the heck was going on?

Tessa had been taken by Victor!

And all this time, she’d been fighting the Ashen Pact like a madwoman… just to win Tessa back

from them.

The Ashen Pact. The Ashen Pact… Marie just sat there, stunned.

“Tessa was with Victor this whole time? What the heck is this?”

She was livid–furious enough to die from it.

Marie drained another glass of water, but it did nothing to put out the fire raging in her chest.

“I told you before, and you didn’t believe me,” Derrick said.

Marie went quiet.

True–she hadn’t believed him.

To her, the one person most likely to hurt her had always been Dan, that bastard.

So whenever something bad happened to her, she always assumed it was Dan’s doing.

But now, this…

“I told you, and you never believe me,” Derrick went on.

Including the night he’d told her that Dan had slept with her; she hadn’t believed that either.

Marie went quiet.

She would’ve rather not heard that reminder. Thinking about it made her heart twist in pain.

“It’s just… in my eyes, Dan has never been anything good!” she snapped.

A man capable of faking his own death.

Not to mention what he’d done recently in Falvaria…

She didn’t even want to go there.

The way Dan had moved, he’d actually targeted the Dawson family. She hadn’t told Abraham, handling it all in secret instead.

But because of those very things, Marie had only become more convinced that Dan was no good.

He hadn’t spared a shred of consideration for all the years of history between them.

And so, Marie hadn’t spared him either.

“This is something your brother must know too,” Derrick said.

Marie was stunned. What? Abraham knew as well?

She had already been on the verge of breaking down from anger; now, hearing Derrick’s words, the flames inside her exploded even hotter.

She honestly wanted to kill someone–what was she supposed to do with that?

Blinded by rage, Marie grabbed her phone and dialed Abraham. Who knew what he was busy with?

He didn’t answer until the very last ring. “Thinking of coming back?” he said, before she could even speak.

“Can I even call you my brother anymore?” Marie shot back.

Abraham went quiet.

The line fell silent for a moment.

Before Abraham could say anything, Marie exploded. “Good for you, Abraham. You really enjoy screwing over your own sister, don’t you?”

“What happened?” Abraham asked.

“Tessa was with Victor the whole time! Why didn’t you tell me? What kind of rotten karma did I rack up

in a past life to end up with a brother like you? I’m so pissed I could die!”

“Do you have any idea how I’ve suffered these past weeks? I blamed myself for losing Tessa, terrified that Victor would cut ties with you because of me.”

“I worried that my negligence would hand you a rival on a silver platter. I went mad trying to get her back from the Ashen Pact; I turned the whole damn place upside down, looking like some lunatic-”

“All the while, you knew she was with him. You always knew. And you said nothing!”

“So what is it, Abraham? Is he your brother, or am I your sister?”

Marie’s fury surged past its limits; she roared into the phone, voice blasting through the line.

Abraham went quiet.

“You like watching me lose my mind, is that it? Am I really your sister, Abraham?”

Her words carried a trace of wounded grievance beneath her rage.

Chapter 788 Ashen Puct For Nothing

She truly was at her breaking point.

Especially after everything she’d been through lately–her panic, her desperation….

No one could possibly understand how much it had tormented her.

Pearis

She’d gone after the Ashen Pact without hesitation, without restraint; she’d been ready to pay any price.
