The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 790

790 Guess Who’s the Dumb One

Marie thought to herself. These past few days I’ve really been… honestly giving it my all.

She really had been. No matter what she did, she threw her full strength into it.

And the result? Could someone please tell her what the heck was going on here?

Danger; signals cutting straight through the airwaves.

Abraham’s voice came through, heavy with pressure and intimidation. “You screw up and blame other people for not warning you?”

Derrick and Marie went quiet. Wait, what?

Being called “stupid” by Abraham didn’t sit well with Derrick. “What’s that supposed to mean? How are we stupid?”

Abraham sneered. “If Tessa were really with Ashen Pact, you think that’s how Victor would’ve reacted?”

Derrick was speechless. The way he should have reacted? Wait a second–what was Victor’s reaction at the start?

Instinctively, Derrick glanced at Marie; she, too, had fallen into thought because of Abraham’s words. At the beginning… what had Victor done? It seemed like… he hadn’t reacted at all.

Derrick asked, “He didn’t react?”

“To Ashen Pact, Victor only moved after you two made your move. You think that’s the speed he’d normally react at?”

It was obvious; with Victor’s sharpness, this wasn’t the kind of reaction or timing he should have had toward Ashen Pact.

Tessa was his woman.

If he knew Tessa had really been taken by Ashen Pact, never mind them–Marie would’ve been the first to get an earful.

But at the time, she hadn’t received a single call from Victor.

That didn’t match the reaction of an enraged man.

Marie protested, “But wait… didn’t he later help us take stuff from Ashen Pact?”
