The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 770 I Don’t Know Either

“This is all because of Dan,” Manny snapped. “He’s the one who provoked the Dawson family’s princess!”

“What?”

Wait, what? How did it change again? Wasn’t it supposed to be because of that little brat Diana gave birth

to?

By now, the entire Ashen Pact had been thrown into confusion.

Meanwhile, Dan got into the car.

He immediately dialed Marie. Because she had been hounding Ashen Pact for Tessa, she had reluctantly taken him off her blacklist.

The moment the call connected, Dan gritted his teeth. “Marie, I don’t care if you believe me or not, Tessa really isn’t with Ashen Pact.”

“Instead of throwing all your forces at us, you should hurry up and look elsewhere. If you waste too much time and she ends up dead, you’ll just blame Ashen Pact anyway!”

Every word came out like an explosion; he was that desperate.

Right now, he wished he could rip out his own heart and shove it into her hands, make her see for herself that he wasn’t lying.

But Marie, unlike before–when she’d raged and demanded Tessa at every turn–was unusually calm.

Facing Dan’s fury, she replied evenly, “You don’t need to tell me this.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You should explain it to Victor,” she said, “or to my brother.”

Dan froze. Victor? Abraham?

“What do you mean?”

He didn’t get it.

What does that even mean–talk to Victor or Abraham? Wasn’t it always her demanding Tessa from me? Screaming, hysterical, every single time. Now suddenly she’s telling me to take it up with them?
