Chapter 800 Sisters in Fury
Finished
Dale never managed to see Tessa that night. Lewis’s barbed words and Silas’s cold refusal left him too humiliated to push further. In the end, he left in a storm of rage.
Back at Black Mountain, Manny’s wound proved so deep he had to remain in the infirmary overnight. Lina, already attending to Lana, stayed to watch over Manny as well.
Lana had regained consciousness, but the moment she tried to move, searing pain lanced through her spine.
That kick Victor had driven into her back still echoed in her bones. She had heard the crack of it herself- her waist snapping like brittle wood.
If Lina hadn’t been there to drag her out, she never would have escaped alive.
Now she couldn’t even shift in bed without feeling as though she were paralyzed.
When Lina told her how much had been lost while she was unconscious, Lana’s fury spiked.
“What did you say? She stole our resource lands?”
Lina nodded grimly. “Yes. All of Ashen Pact’s, even the Morris family’s holdings. She and her people stripped them bare.”
It had all been said to be because of Tessa.
But Lina made it plainer–Tessa had led the raids herself.
Lana’s breath hitched, her rage boiling.
Lina went on. “Father’s, Mother’s, mine–and yours too.”
“My holdings as well?”
Lana’s fury erupted.
“Yes,” Lina said. “Your Moore lands, your Caleb holdings–they’re in chaos. Father sent people, but even they couldn’t stop it.”
Moore. Caleb.
Those were the two properties Lana prized most.
And now… “They’re in that bastard’s hands?”
Her face twisted with fury.
Lina nodded.
The realization made Lana’s chest fill with poison. “That wretched bitch. Why didn’t we kill her when we

had the chance?”
She spat the words, trembling with hatred.
Back then, she and Lina had gone for blood. Now look what it had cost them.
“Exactly,” Lina said bitterly. “Failing to kill her left us with a disaster.”
“I’ll kill her!” Lana hissed, her voice sharp with venom.
Her hatred of Tessa had grown bottomless.
“Mother says we can’t touch her,” Lina reminded. “She might be coming back to Black Mountain.”
“What?”
The thought made Lana explode.
“I won’t allow it! I’ll never allow that bastard to set foot in this house!”
“You don’t have a choice,” Lina said coldly. “Father’s already gone to see her.”
“Now? In the middle of the night?”

“Yes. Once he heard she was with Victor, he rushed off. And soon enough, he might stop recognizing us altogether.”
Lana’s blood went cold.
For years, Dale had rejected Dan–that had been by their own scheming.
As for Tessa, it wasn’t that he didn’t know of her.
He knew.
He had simply refused to acknowledge her.
But their father was a cold man. Cold enough to deny his own blood without hesitation.
And now, with Tessa tied to the fate of Ashen Pact, he might make her his treasure instead.
“The fate of all Ashen Pact?” Lana spat. “What power could that slut possibly have?”
Her fury made her face contort with rage.
“What power?” Lina sneered. “The same as her mother. She leans on men.”
Of course she meant Victor.
