Chapter 710 The Poison Beneath

“Dale’s saving everything for Manny. You, Dan–you’re nothing in his eyes.”

The word nothing dripped sharp from Derrick’s tongue.

Dan’s laugh was bitter. “Fine. I’m nothing. You’re everything, is that it?”

“Mm. I’m still Marie’s husband.”

Marie couldn’t say a word.

Marie nearly choked. Childish, much?

Dan’s fury boiled through the receiver. “Then take her and get the hell out of Noctarth. Get out and never come back!”

“You drugged her and now you tell me to leave? What does that make me–less than a man?” Derrick’s voice was like steel.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means if Tessa isn’t handed over, we’re not done with Ashen Pact. Dan, if you don’t want this place ripped apart, then produce her.”

Marie blaming him was one thing–her mind had long since been poisoned against him. In her eyes, every crime wore his name.

But Derrick too? Did he really have no brains left?

Dan’s chest burned, his breath hot with rage. “Enough! I didn’t take her. Derrick, are you even a man? The last shitstorm, I took the fall for you. And now with Tessa, you and Marie both dump it on me again?”
