“I’ll kill her myself!” Lina snarled.

She couldn’t hold back a second longer. All she wanted now was to find Tessa and end her life.

Unlike Artemis, who always thought things through, Lina was convinced of one thing: everything had spiraled into chaos because of Tessa.

In her eyes, as long as Tessa was gone, everything would end.

She turned on her heel and stormed toward the door. Her intent needed no explanation.

Artemis seized her arm. “What are you doing?”

“I’ll kill her! Once she’s dead, this entire mess will end!” Lina’s voice was sharp, her narrow eyes blazing with venom.

She meant it. She truly wanted Tessa dead.

Artemis’s face hardened. “Have you forgotten why Lana is still lying in the hospital?”

Lina froze.

“She’s with Victor now,” Artemis reminded her coldly.

The last time they tried to kill Tessa, the sisters had stormed into Victor’s territory.

Tessa hadn’t suffered so much as a scratch. Instead, they had returned battered–one with minor wounds, the other so gravely injured she still hadn’t been discharged.

Hearing that only made Lina’s rage burn hotter.

Victor…

That man’s strength was terrifying.

She and Lana were both formidable fighters, yet they had nearly died in that villa.

And Tessa–Tessa was standing at his side, robbing them blind.

The thought made Lina’s blood boil. “So what do we do? Just stand by and watch while she teams up with outsiders to strip us bare?”

That was exactly what it was–mad plundering.

For days, those people had gone at Ashen Pact like wild dogs, and Tessa was right there with Victor, striking hardest of all.

Artemis’s breath grew uneven. She glanced at Lina, then turned to Dale. “She’s doing this because of her mother…”

The moment Diana’s name was spoken, Dale’s face turned darker still.

That woman–where had she gone?

On the way to the council, she had suddenly vanished. Since then, not a trace.

Manny snapped, “All this for her mother? Her mother’s disappearance wasn’t even our doing! If she wants revenge, she should take it out on Dan, that bastard!”

His fury flared.

Dan had been on the verge of regaining control of many assets when he suddenly dragged Diana back into the picture.

And now Diana had disappeared again.

But it wasn’t by their hand. If Tessa wanted to settle debts, she should go after Dan, not rip Ashen Pact to shreds.

Artemis’s face soured further. She looked to Dale, her tone softening for the first time on the subject of that mother and daughter.

“It seems we’ll have to make Tessa understand. No matter how much she lashes out at Ashen Pact, it won’t bring her mother back.”

The words stung her throat like fire.

In the past, she never would have dreamed of explaining anything to someone like Tessa.

But now?

The situation left them no choice. If they didn’t move to stop her, Ashen Pact would cease to exist.

“Explain to her?” Lina’s voice rose with outrage. “Why? Who is she to deserve explanations from

us?”

She had always hated Tessa’s existence.

Now, hearing her mother suggest explanations, her fury nearly split her chest.

Manny backed her up. “She’s not worth it. She doesn’t deserve anything from us.

Artemis’s eyes cut coldly toward them both.
