PopularNovel646 The Reckoning at Dawn Evic glanced at Maric and said, “Derrick's into girls like Star-fair-skinned, soft, and sweet. You..." She didn't finish.
Finished "Besides, who in Falvaria doesn't know about your temper? How messed up would he have to be to go after you?" You went after Dan like you were trying to end his bloodline. I'd wager it's not just Derrick-anyone who knows you wouldn't dare." In Evie's view, Maric was just too fierce. No man in his right mind would dare mess with her.
And honestly, hearing it laid out like that, Marie was even more convinced Derrick wouldn't have done it.
"But still... his reaction was weird," Evie added after a pause.
Most people would run for the hills if someone tried to pin something like that on them.
But Derrick? He practically volunteered to wear the bllike a badge.
Marie didn't have the energy to keep talking. She downed another glass of wine.
Evie said. "If you ask me, Dan's the most likely one. After everything he did to you back then, he still has the nerve to show up in front of you." Marie's eyes narrowed.
Just hearing Dan's nagain stirred a dark glint in her gaze.
The so-called head of the Ashen Pact. Hah... they had all underestimated him.
She had her suspicions before-but now, they were confirmed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo her. Dan wasn't just a two-faced snake. He was a conniving manipulator through and through, Marie didn't respond. She set down her empty wine glass and said, "I'm leaving" Evic finally exhaled in relief.
A miracle, really-Marie hadn't chased her across continents this time. Probably because she had too many other fires to put out.
Just when Evie thought she was in the clear, Marie paused at the door.
"Next tI'in in Falvaria, you'd better return all my stuff Evie froze.
Marie added, "I don't have tto deal with you right now" She had more important vengeance to carry ou She was going to kill Dan 173 Chapter 646 The Reckoning Inished 5:00 AM.
When Dennis saw Marie suddenly show up at the hospital, an ominous chill ran down his spine.
"Ms. Dawson? What are you doing here?" he asked, voice tight.
And at this hour? Her surprise visit made him nervous-but more than that, it made him angry.
After all, she had already beaten Dan to the brink. As Dan's most loyal subordinate, Dennis was practically radiating hostility.
Marie didn't spare him so much as a glance. She strode straight toward the door.
Dennis lunged to block her. "Ms. Dawson, our boss needs rest." His tone was cold. Not a shred of respect.
Marie's hand flew up-and slapped Dennis hard across the head.
His ears rang from the impact.
Then ca sharp twist to the neck. If he hadn't instinctively raised an arm, he might've passed out on the spot.
But Marie didn't stop. Her knee slammed into his stomach with brutal force, dropping him to the ground, unable to rise.
She swept into the hospital room like she owned the place.
Dan, half-awake, stirred at the noise.
His breath hitched the moment he saw her. "You-" Before he could say another word, Marie slapped him-once, then again.
Dan was stunned. This woman- His face stung with searing pain. His skull throbbed.
He barely had tto process it before Marie raised her hand to strike again.
This time, he caught her wrist.
"You're insane!" he snapped. "You already know it was Derrick-why are you still hitting me?!" What the hell kind of logic was that? He glared at her, trembling with fury Marie's eyes narrowed. "The Ashen Pact's heir?" "You've really been playing the long game, huh? You had the guts to lie to me?" BXR 213 15:46 Sat, 30 Aug 0 Chapter 646 The Reckoning at Dawn Dan froze, her words slicing through the air.
"You... you found out?" The second the words left his mouth- Marie's hand was around his throat.
Her whole body radiated lethal intent.
And her voice was pure ice. "You got close tofor my father's deal with Shanna didn't you?" Every word was laced with fury and betrayal.

Back when Dan had supposedly died, Shanna had abruptly backed out of their contract because someone had learned the terms of the deal. Highly confidential information.
For years, no one thought Dan had anything to do with it.
But now that he was revealed as the Ashen Pact's leader-it all made perfect sense.
After Dan's "death," the Ashen Pact struck a new deal with Shanna.
Dan gasped for air.
Marie stood over him like a judge at the gallows. And he-he couldn't speak a word in his defense.
She figured it out.
He had known from their very first meeting: Marie was smart. Dangerous smart.
That's why he'd tread so carefully around her.
Every step had been calculated.
Now, with his silence dragging on, Marie growled, "Answer me!"
Dennis, finally back on his feet, burst into the room-just in tto seen Marie's grip tightening around Dan's neck, her knuckles white with rage, 4.7K 15:46 Sat, 30 Aug 00.
