The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 876

She Took 876 Summary

Victor explained that after the test was completed, Manny, Dale, and Dan each assigned five trusted men to guard the results, making tampering impossible. Tessa found this level of security harsh and was intrigued when Victor revealed that Dan himself suggested having so many guards, implying he might be Dale’s son. This led Tessa to wonder if the doctor who conducted the test could be Dan’s father, a theory Victor found amusing but worth considering given the strict oversight.

Tessa expressed doubt that Dale had any children, based on a gut feeling from the first time she saw him. Victor shifted the conversation to the Ashen Pact, now in chaos but with Dan confirmed as the sole heir. Tessa warned Victor to be careful around Dan, hinting at Dan’s dangerous nature and the pain caused by Marie’s influence over him. Their conversation then turned lighter as Victor teased Tessa about her constant snacking on sweet fruit, leading to a playful and intimate moment where he carried her to bed.

Meanwhile, in Falvaria, Marie and Derrick arrived by private jet, with Sebastian trailing behind nervously. Sebastian’s fear was evident as he kept his distance, prompting Derrick to bark at him to come closer. Sebastian refused, saying someone was coming to pick him up, clearly terrified of being near Marie and Derrick after witnessing Marie’s brutal beating of Dan and Andy. Derrick, frustrated with Sebastian’s cowardice, decided it wasn’t worth the trouble and told Marie they should just leave.

Chapter 876: That’s Brutal

The room was quiet as Victor recounted the details. “After the test was completed, Manny, Dale, and Dan each assigned five of their most trusted men to guard it,” he explained carefully.

With a total of fifteen men standing watch, the results were under such strict surveillance that no one could have tampered with them—not even a whisper of interference was possible.

Tessa sat back, absorbing the weight of that information. That’s harsh, she thought silently. The level of security made any meddling seem utterly impossible.

Victor went on, “Interestingly, the idea to have so many guards actually came from Dan himself, which suggests he must be Dale’s son.”

Tessa’s eyes lit up with a sudden realization. “Wait—could the doctor who conducted the test actually be his father?”

Victor froze for a moment, caught off guard by her suggestion.

She looked at him expectantly, a flicker of hope shining in her gaze.

Victor chuckled softly. “You’re the only person who would think of something like that.”

Still, if anyone had managed to manipulate the results, that explanation might be the only plausible one—if the doctor was indeed Dan’s father. Otherwise, who else could have interfered with such tight oversight?

“I just have this feeling that Dale doesn’t have any children,” Tessa muttered under her breath.

Victor raised an eyebrow, curious. “What makes you say that?”

“It’s just… a gut feeling,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Victor fell silent, sensing there was more beneath her words.
