The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 827 When Vomiting Meets Conspiracy

“She didn’t approach Marie on purpose?”

Abraham replied, “If it had been intentional, do you really think he would’ve faked his own death and disappeared from Falvaria?”

Derrick went silent. Good point. He still couldn’t make sense of Dan’s bizarre stunt.

Normally, people from the Morris family were all about profit; that was their way.

If Dan had truly been driven by gain, then back when he’d gotten close to Marie, he would’ve effectively secured ties with the entire Dawson family–maybe even the Luke family.

But instead, he’d faked his death and vanished.

That said a lot. It meant that while his trip to Falvaria might have been for a purpose, his relationship with Marie had been an accident; he hadn’t even realized who she really was.

“So what?” Derrick asked. “Now he’s planning to use the Moses family’s power to keep the Ashen Pact alive?”

Abraham snorted. “The only one in the Ashen Pact who ever cared about love was Dale. As for the rest–heh…”

That short, cold laugh was pure mockery.

And Abraham wasn’t wrong. Out of all the generations of the Ashen Pact, Dale had been the only one with any sense of devotion. The rest of the leadership had always been driven by one thing–profit.

Even though Dan had publicly handed over his position as leader to Manny not long ago, this sudden connection with the Moses family was… suspicious, to say the least.

Derrick gave a low chuckle. “Guess Marie didn’t have the best taste, huh? What the heck did she ever see in him?”

“Just stay alert,” Abraham said flatly.

He was about to hang up when Derrick stopped him. “Wait!”

“What? You scared now?”

Derrick scoffed. “Of
