The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 732 Pressure on the Ashen Pact

Forget it–better to just listen to Victor. Now was the time for chaos.

None of them knew exactly what the others were planning, but at least she was sure of one thing: they wouldn’t harm her, and they wouldn’t harm her mother.

As for what kind of losses the Morris family would suffer this time? That had nothing to do with her.

By now, Madam Evelyn’s people had reached Cyren Mines. Derrick’s men had seized control of Loren Lake. And Victor’s forces weren’t to be outdone–they had already taken Caesarville.

The next morning, Marie woke to the news feeling utterly refreshed.

“I don’t believe it,” she declared, popping a blueberry into her mouth. “With things like this, the Asher Pact still dares not hand her over to me?”

The blueberries in Noctarth were sweeter and more fragrant than any she had ever eaten before.

“So now there’s nothing to worry about?” Derrick asked.

When Marie picked up another berry, Derrick caught her hand and stuffed it into his own mouth instead.

Marie: “…” This man!

Her fingers were wet with his saliva. Gross. She wiped them off on his clothes with obvious disgust.

Derrick’s face darkened. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You could at least eat without slobbering on my hand, couldn’t you?”

“…” This woman.
