The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 766 Don’t Blame Me, Blame Him

Marie hesitated. Why did it have to wait until now?

Abraham said, “Why do you think?”

Maric blinked. What?

“Dan’s identity, Victor has known about it all along,” Abraham said.

Marie froze. All along? From the very beginning? So from the moment Dan appeared at my side, Victor already knew?

Her breath caught in her throat. She sniffled, wanting to say more, but instead she only felt more wronged.

“Even so, you shouldn’t have treated me like that. Do you know how desperate I was about Tessa?”

That single explanation–that Victor had approached Abraham because of his own vendetta- was enough to make Marie’s anger dissolve completely. What she felt now was grievance, not fury.

If it was for Victor’s revenge, then of course she would have done everything she could to help.

“Just cooperate with him,” Abraham said.

“It’s already started?”

He gave a brief nod. “Mm.”

Marie fell silent. So this was Victor’s revenge? Not my brother’s game of chess–it was Victor’s all along. Victor…

Over the years, he had done so much for Abraham; they were more than partners–they were brothers.

“So you’re saying the reason Victor never acted against Ashen Pact before… was because of me

and Dan?”

Her voice carried a trace of gloom as she asked.

She had to admit, Victor had been in and out of the Dawson family home for years. He wasn’t just Abraham’s brother–in–arms; in many ways, he’d treated the Dawson family like his own.

During the holidays, Victor almost always spent them with the Dawsons.
