The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In
Chapter 865
She Took 865 Summary
Dale, who once prioritized Artemis above all else, now finds his world unraveling as chaos erupts within their family. Victor cynically reflects on men and lost loves, hinting that memories of the past often seem more perfect than reality. Tessa, caught in the tension, feels uneasy as Victor’s touch becomes intense, highlighting the fraught atmosphere surrounding them.
The fragile balance within the Ashen Pact, maintained for years by Artemis and Manny through Dale’s favoritism, shatters when Dale orders DNA tests on all of Artemis’s children. Dan arrives with a medical team to carry out the tests, escalating the conflict. While Dale and Dan submit willingly, Manny refuses, sparking a fierce confrontation.
Dale’s cold decision to have Manny forcibly restrained for the test devastates Artemis, who still clings to a fragile hope for trust and unity. Manny’s anger boils over as he threatens the guards with a gun, but Dale remains unyielding, showing no warmth or fatherly affection. The family’s foundation crumbles in a single night, leaving Artemis heartbroken and desperate as Dale’s focus narrows solely on the DNA tests.

865 Nothing Left to Save
In the past, Dale would have turned his back on every other child in the world just to shield Artemis from harm. She was his priority, his everything.
But now—just like that—everything had erupted into chaos.
Victor chuckled softly, a low, almost bitter sound. “Men, huh,” he muttered.
He had once pampered Artemis as if she were untouchable, and for two clear reasons: first, because she was the woman he loved deeply, and second, because she had given him three children.
“But she was his first love!” Tessa interjected quickly, her voice tinged with urgency.
Victor’s smirk grew wider. “Isn’t it funny? The ones who are gone always seem more perfect, don’t they?”
Tessa froze, caught off guard by his words.
Wait—was he really suggesting that the living could never measure up to those who had passed? That memories would always outshine reality?
The more she thought about it, the more she realized he might be right.
Even if Artemis had been Dale’s first love, if she had betrayed him over their children, then none of that past would hold any weight. She would lose everything she had.
What had started as idle gossip somehow shifted without either of them noticing, and before long, Tessa found herself pressed against Victor. His arms wrapped around her, strong and unyielding.
His touch was anything but gentle.
By the time she registered what was happening, the tension between them was already electric, thick enough to burn.
