Chapter 670 The Climb
Ugh, that woman’s brutal.
Before Tessa could even react, Marie threw her straight into the sea. Tessa was done. Mentally, emotionally -completely done.
“When we left Spada Island, two groups went ashore. One of them was your brother Dan’s people.”
Tessa muttered, “He’s not my brother.”
How many times did she have to say it?
That bastard wasn’t her brother. Her mom had only ever given birth to one daughter—her.
Marie said, “It doesn’t matter. What you need to know is that they went there to kill you.”
Tessa went quiet.
Hearing it from Marie like that…
The swirling sense of danger suddenly felt a lot more real.
Marie added, “You don’t have much time. Start swimming.”
The moment she heard “not much time,” Tessa gave in and started swimming toward the island.
Out on the sea, things looked close–but they were really, really far.
The water was freezing. Salty. Fishy…
Tessa had lived in comfort her entire life. She had never suffered anything close to this.
Sophia had someone bring over a chair for Marie.
Marie sat down, and a glass of champagne was handed to her.
Sophia looked toward Tessa in the distance and smiled. “She’s starting to shed her fear.”
“Her body’s gotten tougher, but that brain still needs some training.”
Sophia was stunned.
How exactly were they supposed to train that? Some things were just inborn–hard to fix.
Marie said, “When she comes back, ask if she knows how to use a computer.”
“Alright.”
Sophia now understood what Marie wanted to drill into Tessa.
Going to the Ashen Pact was dangerous.
But ultimately, the person Tessa would be going up against… was someone from the Morris family.
“Mr. Victor sent Silas to Ashen Pact,” Sophia said after a moment, turning to Marie.
Marie raised a brow.
“To find Diana?”
Sophia nodded. “Yes.”
Marie smiled.
“Well, that seals it. Tessa leaves here and she’s officially enemies with Dan.”
Tessa clearly held a special place in Victor’s heart.
Sending Silas to Ashen Pact now…
It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Victor already knew Dan’s people had landed on Spada Island–and what they were planning to do.
Thinking of Dan made Sophia feel indignant on Marie’s behalf.
“The way Dan moves… he doesn’t hold back at all when it comes to you.”
If something happened to Tessa now…
