She Took 875 Summary

Dale is devastated to learn from Dan that Dan has always known the truth about the paternity of the children, a revelation that shakes him deeply. Dale struggles with the pain of Dan’s silence, feeling betrayed and overwhelmed, which causes him to faint. Lenny finds Dale unconscious and quickly calls for medical help, while Dan calmly instructs Lenny to keep a close watch on Artemis and Manny before leaving the scene.

When Dale regains consciousness in the medical wing, he is pale and exhausted, yet his anger remains intense. He demands to know where Dan is and vents his frustration that the children who are not biologically his act more like family than the one who is. Lenny promises to contact Dan and also to send more people to find Lina and Lana, who have fled, further complicating the already chaotic situation within the Ashen Pact.

Meanwhile, Tessa receives the DNA test results from Black Mountain and is confused by the contradictions: Artemis’s three children are not Dale’s, yet Dan is supposedly his son. This inconsistency puzzles her, especially since Artemis was with Dale for years without bearing any of his biological children. Tessa suspects Dale may be infertile and that the test results might have been tampered with, though she cannot explain how.

Victor listens to Tessa’s doubts with a faint smile, teasing her about her certainty and desire for Dale to face consequences. Tessa is resolute in her belief that Dale is irredeemable, blaming him for the disappearance of her mother and the destruction of Victor’s family. Despite her suspicions, Victor expresses doubt that the DNA report was altered, leaving the truth uncertain as tensions within the Ashen Pact remain high.

875 The Aftermath

How the hell did he end up with a son like this?

“I knew,” Dan said coolly. “I’ve always known.”

The words hit Dale harder than anything. He looked like he might faint.

“You knew?” His chest tightened, the room spinning around him.

Dan shrugged. “Even if I’d told you back then, would you have believed me?”

The air went still.

For a long moment, neither of them said a word.

Of course Dale wouldn’t have believed him. No matter what Dan had said before, he’d always assumed it was jealousy–jealousy that Manny and the twins got more of their father’s affection.

Every sarcastic comment, every jab–Dale had brushed them off as bitterness.

But now…

“You knew,” Dale muttered hoarsely. “And you just stayed silent?”

That was what cut the deepest. Dan had known the truth all along–and he’d kept it to himself.

The thought made Dale’s blood pressure spike. His anger hit so hard his vision blurred, and within seconds, he passed out cold.
