Chapter 639 Abraham Has A What?
She also didn’t think Derrick would dare. But then why would he say something like that?
Marie scoffed. “Ignore his nonsense. Probably has to do with that grudge involving the Tom family again.”
At the mention of Derrick’s so–called confession, Marie’s voice was full of disdain.
She figured that bastard would do anything these days just for the sake of his mother’s old vendetta.
But how did this end up involving Dan and the whole scapegoat situation? Marie couldn’t quite make sense of it.
“Alright, I’m done talking. We’ll handle Tessa’s situation when I get back tomorrow.”
Stella asked, “And when exactly are you coming back?”
“Tomorrow,” Marie said after thinking for a moment, giving Stella a rough estimate.
But Stella didn’t buy it. “You think you can get those things back from Evie in just two days?”
Evie was ruthless.
Anything that ended up in her hands was basically gone forever; good luck trying to pry it out again.
So when Marie said she’d be back tomorrow, Stella found it hard to believe.
Unless Marie planned on giving up those things Evie had taken.
Marie chuckled. “You underestimate your sister. Have Zhang wait for me at the airport tomorrow.”
Stella went quiet. Well, Evie might be doomed.
Whenever her sister sounded that confident, it usually meant she already had a plan to deal with Evie.
Just as Marie was about to hang up, Stella stopped her. “Wait.”
“What now?”
“Dan might actually be the current leader of the Ashen Pact.”
Marie was stunned. What did she just say?
“Isn’t he the lord of Frapucu?”
Stella replied, “And also the one running the Ashen Pact.”
Victor had said it was just a possibility; Abraham had said the same. But Stella went ahead and stated it as fact.
The air on the line went still.
Then Marie let out a cold laugh. “Ha. Using me like that? When I get back, I’m going to kill him.”
She’d mostly made peace with being used, but finding out about the Ashen Pact–realizing she’d been manipulated like that–was a whole different story.
Marie hung up the phone.
Stella pouted and sat there, her mind spinning with everything Marie had just said.
She really didn’t think it was Derrick either.
If it were him, things never would’ve gone that far.
But if it wasn’t Derrick, then why say it was? Ugh, none of this makes sense anymore.
Derrick had already been confusing enough; now this whole thing with Dan was getting weirder by the second.
Just as she was about to put her phone down, Eddie’s name popped up on the screen. She answered, “Hey, Eddie.”
Full–on sobbing. What kind of man had to be pushed so far that he didn’t even care about saving face anymore?
“I haven’t showered in ten days. I get one bottle of water a day. Star, you have to help me! Abraham’s doing this on purpose, he’s trying to ruin me!”
And yeah, it made sense.
