Dan smirked. "Father, you really pulled every string for that woman, didn't you?" Dale's face darkened, a dangerous flash lighting up his eyes.

You schemed your way to everything using her, and then had the nerve to call her child an obstacle to your grand romantic future?" "Dan!" Dale's voice rose in fury, his gaze sharp and cold like a blade.
Dan stared back with the sruthless glare.
"What a pity. You plotted everything so carefully, and still didn't count on the Matriarch being smarter than my mother. She played you before you could toss her aside."- Diana had escaped with half the map.
It had been enough to throw the entire Ashen Pact into internal chaos.
And his own mother? She ended up dying in Dale's place, paving the way for Dale's love story with that woman.
At the mention of Diana, Dale's face turned stone cold.
A chilling aura surrounded him-far more dangerous than before.
Dan only laughed at the sight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You brought her back on purpose? Have you been helping wipe her tracks all these years too?" The more Dale spoke, the darker his voice became.
He had been searching for Diana for years-and had never found her.
He always suspected someone was hiding her trail, but it never crossed his mind that it could be Dan.
After all, Diana's influence in the Ashen Pact was immense.
As long as she was alive, she was a threat-not just to Dan, but even more so to Dale and Manny.
Dan said, "What else was I supposed to do? If the Matriarch hadn't returned, you'd be trying to strip every bit of power fromand hand it over to Manny, wouldn't you?" Well now, things had changed.
Diana had returned. The Ashen Pact's only female ruler-respected, revered, and feared.
Now Dale and Manny had their hands full. They couldn't even begin to worry about Dan.
Dale said nothing.
1/3 15:46 Sat, 30 Chapter 644 The Matriarch's Return Finished Dan clicked his tongue mockingly. "I helped you find her. Whether or not you can get that missing half of the map from her for Manny-well, that's your problem." Everyone said the Ashen Pact was deep.
But no one truly knew how deep.
Dale, the rightful heir, was a slave to love-willing to fake a marriage just to protect one woman.
Even Dan, his own son, held nothing but scorn for him.
Dale's expression was like ink-so dark it looked ready to drip.
He gave a cold snort, stood up, and turned to leave without another word.
But just as he reached the door, Dan called out again. "If the Matriarch hadn't cback, were you planning to give even my nto Manny?" Manny.
The twin girls' older brother.
Years ago, a baby swap orchestrated by Dan's mother had stopped Manny from being recognized when Dale tried to make that woman his official wife.
Since then, the Ashen Pact had hidden Manny's existence from the outside world.
Almost no one knew he existed.
And now, when Dan mentioned his own name, his voice was colder than ever.
Dale turned back, his eyes like frost. "Manny's mother raised you for three years, and you feel no gratitude at all?" "Gratitude?" Dan let out a cold laugh. "If my mother hadn't pulled off that switch, I'd have ended up like the Matriarch's daughter-without even a nin the Morris family." That word-gratitude-hit a raw nerve.
"You forced my mother into that hell, and now you wantto be thankful to that woman?" "If she hadn't done what she did, I wouldn't have survived." Diana had only given birth to a daughter-not a threat to anyone. But now Dale was panicking? And back then, Dan had been the Ashen Pact's rightful eldest son...
Dale slammed the door as he stormed out.
Moments later, Dennis entered. "Sir." Dan asked lazily, "Why'd he show up today?" There was a hint of playfulness in his tone, like he was humoring himself.
Strange.

He'd been in Falvaria all this time, and Dale hadn't called once. Alkhis m scheming had been for Manny, done in secret.
And now, suddenly, he showed up?
Dennis explained, “Last night, Miss Lana tried to capture Madam Miller's daughter-but/Mr. Victor's men severely injured her." Dan narrowed his eyes. "That hag actually went after the Matriarch's daughter?" Dennis nodded.
Dan let out a dry chuckle. "Well, she's kicked the hornet's nest now.
Women.. once they becom mothers, the strength they have is something else entirely." A flash of memory-his mother's final letter-flitted through Dan's mind.
And the smile on his lips disappeared instantly.
