The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 766 Don’t BlMe, BlHim

Marie hesitated. Why did it have to wait until now?

Abraham said, “Why do you think?”

Maric blinked. What?

“Dan'’s identity, Victor has known about it all along,” Abraham said.

Marie froze. All along? From the very beginning? So from the moment Dan appeared at my side, Victor already

knew?

Her breath caught in her throat. She sniffled, wanting to say more, but instead she only felt more wronged.

“Even so, you shouldn't have treatedlike that. Do you know how desperate | was about Tessa?”

That single explanation-that Victor had approached Abraham because of his own vendetta- was enough to make

Marie's anger dissolve completely. What she felt now was grievance, not fury.

If it was for Victor's revenge, then of course she would have done everything she could to help.

“Just cooperate with him,” Abraham said.

“It’s already started?”

He gave a brief nod. “Mm.”

Marie fell silent. So this was Victor's revenge? Not my brother's gof chess-it was Victor's all along. Victor...

Over the years, he had done so much for Abraham; they were more than partners-they were brothers.

“So you're saying the reason Victor never acted against Ashen Pact before... was because of me

and Dan?”

Her voice carried a trace of gloom as she asked.

She had to admit, Victor had been in and out of the Dawson family hfor years. He wasn’t just Abraham's

brother-in-arms; in many ways, he'd treated the Dawson family like his own.

During the holidays, Victor almost always spent them with the Dawsons.

“Since things between you and Dan are finished, let Victor finally settle the weight he’s been carrying all this

time,” Abraham said.

Marie could only purse her lips.

Abraham sighed.

Victor had already moved against Ashen Pact; there was no way he would stop now.

Marie understood that.

“I know,” she said softly.

She didn’t argue further.

Victor's matter had already reached this point; she couldn’t, and wouldn't, stand in his way

anymore.

She never would have guessed that, all those years ago, Victor had spared Ashen Pact once-just because of her

and Dan.

She was about to hang up when Derrick suddenly grabbed the phone. “Wait, Abraham.”

“If you try stirring up trouble again, I'll deal with you myself when | get back,” Abraham warned.

“What? | didn’t stir up anything...” Derrick was about ready to explode.

Abraham's presence pressed through the line, suffocating.

“Fine, fine, my bad!” Derrick conceded.

Truthfully, he hadn't said much to comfort Marie either; he'd been angry himself. And when people were angry,

kind words were the last thing to cout.

“Anyway,” Derrick pressed, “the stuff | snatched from Ashen Pact—that’s mine, right?”

Forget everything else; this was what mattered to him most. He had risked plenty to get his hands on it!

Abraham didn’t bother responding. He simply hung up.

The sound of disconnection echoed in Derrick’s ear. “Tch, shameless!”

He muttered, “We've already cleared things up, but he never said he'd give back what he seized from the Tom

family!”

When Stella went missing, Abraham had learned Derrick played a part in it; he hadn't gone easy on the Tom

family at all.

By then, Derrick had already fled abroad.

Enraged, Abraham not only sent men after him but also lashed out at the Tom family in retaliation.

At the time, many of the Tom family’s projects fell into Abraham's hands; he’d nearly destroyed them completely.

Marie shot Derrick a glare. “Pathetic.”

“I'm telling the truth...” Derrick grumbled.

Derrick thought. But really, Abraham had taken all those things from the Tom family back then, and now what?

Just let it slide? The misunderstanding was gone; shouldn't he return what wasn’t his? What kind of logic was

that...

Meanwhile, Stella was on the phone with Tessa.

When Tessa heard what Stella had to say, she was stunned.

“Marie's that frantic?”

At that moment, Tessa was nestled

in Victor's arms; eof ret evare

each other over this left her chilled.

Marie had even wanted to drag Stella away because of it.

A cold sweat ran down Tessa’s back.

Even without witnessing it firsthand, she could practically feel the fire of Marie's temper.

“She's really anxious,” Stella said. “I feel so guilty now!”

It wasn’t exactly Stella’s fault.

But she had known where Tessa was and hadn't told Marie; that was a sin in itself.

Tessa heard the guilt in Stella’s voice. “Then maybe | should just call Marie...”

“Don't. Right now she thinks you're

called—she'd blow up even worse.”
