The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In Chapter 679 BlG"Dan took Tessa?" "No way." 49% +8 Pearls Dan stealing Tessa now? That didn't line up with his previous strategies at all. What had all those earlier moves even meant, then? Derrick narrowed his eyes.
There was a strange emptiness growing in his chest.
Sebastian asked, "So... we're still going to Ashen Pact?" "Of course we are." No question.
"And keep looking for Tessa in secret," Derrick added. "Make sure to avoid Victor's people." The last thing he wanted was for Victor to find out about this mess-especially if they weren't completely sure what had happened yet.
Just like that, Derrick's entire train of thought got hijacked by Marie's panic. He, too, becconvinced that Dan had taken Tessa to set up Marie.
Kale nodded. "Understood." He headed off to make arrangements.
Once it was just Derrick and Sebastian left, Derrick tapped his fingers against the armrest in a steady rhythm. Sebastian muttered, "This is a mess, huh?" It hadn't hit him earlier.
But now that Derrick had ordered Kale to start searching for Tessa, Sebastian began to realize how tangled this really was.
Tessa disappeared while in Marie's care-allegedly stolen by Dan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf this blew up, and no hard proof pointed to Dan, then Diana would cfor Marie. So would Victor.
Derrick closed his eyes briefly. "Yeah. A real mess." Sebastian asked, "Why did she even bother with this? Now there's no good way to explain it." Chapter 679 BlGDerrick scoffed. "What do you think? That precious little sister of hers, obviously." Tessa was Stella's best friend.
If Stella hadn't asked, Marie would've never gotten involved.
Thinking of how much Marie doted on Stella, Sebastian wisely shut up.
But something didn't sit right with him.
Derrick... was cleaning up Marie's mess? That wasn't like him.
In the past, if something blew up around Marie, Derrick wouldn't even glance at it.
+8 Pearts So Derrick, too, boarded a plane for Ashen Pact.
And just like Marie, he never once suspected that Tessa might've been taken by Victor. Back when the whole Spirit Pub debacle happened, Marie had unilaterally blamed Dan.
Now, this time, Derrick and Marie were both pointing fingers at Dan.
Derrick had people searching inside Ashen Pact-clearly convinced Dan was behind it all.
On the plane...
Sebastian muttered, "If this goes wrong, Tessa's mom might take on the entire Morris family alone." If she found out Dan had taken Tessa? Then she'd go scorched earth on the whole family.
Derrick chuckled. "Good." At this point, whether Dan was guilty or not didn't even matter.
"Figure out a way to leak it to Victor," Derrick added, “and make sure all his anger goes straight to Dan." Sebastian blinked. "Pin it on Dan?" "What-you want Victor banging on your sister-in-law's door demanding answers? Think 13:03 Tue, 2 Sept A Chapter 679 BlGanyone's giving her back?" The girl was gone.
Might as well point Victor toward Dan, let him take the heat.
Sebastian didn't respond.
Yup. Dan was going to take the fall. Again.
Lately, Dan had becthe go-to scapegoat for everything.
And now, apparently, he'd have to shoulder the blfor losing Tessa too.
49%• +8 Pearls Sebastian had serious doubts. Taking Tessa now made zero sense for Dan. It would only hurt him.
Marie finally arrived at Ashen Pact's capital-Noctarth.
She'd been here before, back when she was trying to claw back the sodium mine contract Dan had snatched. The moment she stepped off the plane, Dan got the alert.
He stubbed out his cigar and asked coldly, "Wha doing here?" Though his face stayed mostly unreadable in the dim light of the study, the air around him turned razor sharp.
Conan, standing nearby, tensed instinctively. "Not sure yet. But she Sure brought Sophia. They're already tracking your location." Sophia-Marie's personal intelligence specialist.
She was infamous for tracking down Yalvoria's president in under anm hour... and selling his whereabouts to n. his enemies at a sky-high price, If she wanted to find you, there was nowhere to hide.
Dan raised a brow. "She's looking for me?" "Yes," Conan said gravely.
No doubt about it. Why else would she have Sophia locking on his coordinates? Dan's eyes lowered slightly.

The air around him chilled further. He thought back to the last the and Marie clashed-in Falvaria's capital. He exhaled slowly, "Wasn't she with Diana's daughter?" Conan replied, "We don't know what her goal is yet." "Where is she now?" "Airport"
