Chapter 813 Evie’s About to Explode
Every time those two met, sparks flew; neither ever backed down, and neither ever spared the other a sharp word.
Marie scoffed. “I told him she’s his future sister–in–law–of course, he’ll protect her. What, you expect me to do it?”
Stella blinked. “Wait, what?”
That didn’t sound right at all.
“Rianne… she’s not actually with Eddie,” Stella said carefully.
Marie waved her off. “Who cares if she is or isn’t? We’ll just say she is. Right now, the goal is to keep Rianne safe.”
Stella sucked in a sharp breath.
“And when Evie finds out the truth later, are you sure he won’t chase you around the globe for it?”
Evie’s temper–now that was something else.
He had the build and the dark looks of a fighter; and his temper matched. Every time Eddie mentioned that sister of his, it was always with frustration.
Marie said breezily, “We’ll deal with that when the time comes. Just send Rianne’s information to Evie.”
“Alright…”
Hearing how unconcerned Marie sounded, Stella couldn’t help worrying for her.
Those two were always setting traps for each other—had been since they were kids—but this time… this time, the pit Marie dug for Evie felt dangerously deep. She just hoped Evie wouldn’t bury her in it once he realized.
Marie brushed it off. “Relax. Once she and Tempest start tearing into each other, she won’t even have time to worry about whether I set her up.”
If Evie spent all that time protecting his supposed sister–in–law, only to find out she wasn’t actually one, he’d lose his mind.
And once he snapped, reasoning with him would be impossible–he’d just act.

By then, he and Tempest would be at each other’s throats, fighting to the death over a woman.
Who’d have time to think about Marie’s schemes then?
“Uh…” Stella muttered.
Well, when she put it that way, she wasn’t wrong. Once Evic and Tempest started that inevitable chaos, there’d be no stopping them–or time to worry about who’d dug which hole.
“Fine. I got it. I’ll send Evie her info right now.”
Inside, Stella felt like crying. Something told her Rianne’s situation would be even trickier than
Tessa’s.
Tessa and Victor getting tangled up hadn’t caused too much trouble only because Tessa’s world had been free of men before.
Rianne was a different story; given her past with Tempest, it was complicated.
Whether or not she was his favorite, Tempest had raised her since she was a child.
Rianne might be ready to walk away now, but Tempest… could he really let her go?
Eddie, of course, had no clue about any of that.
When Evie and Tempest inevitably faced off, it would be bloody—no doubt about it.
Meanwhile, Tessa didn’t wake up until three in the afternoon; and by the time Dale showed up, she was already gone.
Victor had taken her out. Yes, out to have fun.
But while he entertained her, he’d also set his people moving with deadly precision on matters concerning the Ashen Pact.
Within mere hours, the Ashen Pact had suffered another major loss; the whole Morris family was losing its mind.
Even the remaining elders of the Ashen Pact were furious, directing all their outrage at Dale.
Under crushing pressure, Dale had barely finished a meeting with them before rushing off to
find Tessa-
Only to be told, “She slept in too long, so our boss took her out to relax.”
Dale went completely silent.

At those words, his face turned the color of steel.
The entire Ashen Pact was in chaos; every half hour brought new losses.
The damage was so staggering Dale didn’t even want to think about it–thinking about it might give him a heart attack.
He was desperate to put out fires, yet he was being told Tessa had gone out to relax?
At that moment, he truly regretted ever having the daughter who’d brought him so much grief.
“When are they coming back?” he asked, his voice tight with barely restrained fury.
Lewis shrugged. “Who knows? It’s up to her. Maybe she’ll go shopping, hit a hot spring… could be midnight before she’s back.”
