“That Marie sure is busy.”

Lewis grunted. “Yeah, busy trying to get pregnant.”

What a mouth. Forget it, better not to respond. Even acknowledging his words felt like making a mistake.

But staying in the hotel really was boring.

After a moment’s thought, she pulled out her phone and called Stella.

Meanwhile, Marie and Derrick were too busy to breathe. Ever since learning that Madam Evelyn had sent people to take over Cyren Mines, Derrick immediately dispatched men to seize control of the Loren Lake mines.

Right now, Marie was on the phone with Dan. Clearly, he had gotten the news as well.

On the other end, Dan’s voice was full of anger. “Marie, you and Derrick better get the hell back to Falvaria!”

Even though he was already at odds with Dale and the others, the Ashen Pact was still the Morris family’s. He naturally didn’t want things spiraling this far.

Marie said, “Hand Tessa over to me, and I’ll leave.”

“Marie!”

“Dan, I’ll make this clear right now. If Victor comes after me over Tessa, I’ll make sure the Ashen Pact pays double for it.”

“I swear I didn’t take Tessa!”

“Then it’s your father, your brother, or that pretentious stepmother of yours.”

Either way, Tessa had to be in the Ashen Pact’s hands.

Seeing Marie stubbornly refuse to leave until she had Tessa, Dan felt his whole chest ache with

rage.

“Why won’t you believe me on this?”

“Believe you, my ass!”
