She also didn’t think Derrick would dare. <i>But </i><i>then </i><i>why </i>would he <i>say </i><i>something </i>like that?
Marie scoffed. “Ignore his nonsense. Probably has to do with that grudge involving the Tom family again.”
At the mention of Derrick’s so–called confession, Marie’s voice was full of disdain.
She figured that bastard would do anything these days just for the sake of his mother’s old vendetta.
But how did this end up involving Dan and the whole scapegoat situation? Marie couldn’t quite make sense of it.
“Alright, I’m done talking. We’ll handle Tessa’s situation when I get back tomorrow.”
Ste asked, “And when exactly are youing back?”
“Tomorrow,” Marie said after thinking for a moment, giving Ste a rough estimate.
But Ste didn’t buy it. “You think you can get those things back from Evie in just two days?”
Evie was ruthless.
Anything that ended up in her hands was basically gone forever; good luck trying to pry it out again.
So when Marie said she’d be back tomorrow, Ste found it hard to believe.
Unless Marie nned on giving up those things Evie had taken.
Marie chuckled. “You underestimate your sister. Have Zhang wait for me at the airport tomorrow.”
Ste went quiet. <i>Well</i><i>, </i><i>Evie </i><i>might </i><i>be </i><i>doomed</i><i>. </i>
Whenever her sister sounded that confident, it usually meant she already had a n to deal with Evie.
Just as Marie was about to hang up, Ste stopped her. “Wait.”
“What now?”
“Dan might actually be the current leader of the Ashen Pact.”
Marie was stunned. <i>What </i><i>did </i>she just <i>say</i><i>? </i>
“Isn’t he the lord of Frapucu?”
Ste replied, “And also the one running the Ashen Pact”
Victor had said it was just a possibility, Abraham had said the same. But Ste went ahead and stated it as
fact.
The air on the line went still.
Then Marie let out a coldughy “Ha. Using me like that? When I get back. I’m going to kill him.”
She’d mostly made peace with being used, but finding out about the Ashen Pact–realizing she’d been manipted like that–was a whole different story.
Sat,

Marie hung up the phone.
Ste pouted and sat there, her mind spinning with everything Marie had just said.
She really didn’t think it was Derrick either.
If it were him, things never would’ve gone that far.
But if it wasn’t Derrick, then why say it was? Ugh, none of <i>this </i>makes sense anymore.

Derrick had already been confusing enough; now this whole thing with Dan was getting weirder by the second.
Just as she was about to put her phone down, Eddie’s name popped up on the screen. She answered, “<i>Hey</i>, Eddie.”
“Star, save me, please save me!” Eddie wailed the second the call connected.
Ste twitched at the sound. “Wait, are you crying right now?”
Full–on sobbing. What kind of man had <i>to </i>be pushed <i>so </i><i>far </i>that he didn’t even care about saving <i>face </i><i>anymore</i><i>? </i>
Eddie cried, “Your brother’s a monster. He’s trying to kill me!”
Ste was stunned.
“I haven’t showered in ten days. I get one bottle of water a day. Star, you have to help me! Abraham’s doing this on purpose, he’s trying to ruin me!”
The more he talked, the more agitated he became.
And yeah, it <i>made </i>sense.
Not showering for ten days might not be a big deal to some people, but for Eddie was torture.
“No shower? You must stink to high heaven,” Ste said, dramatically pinching her nose even though he
couldn’t see her.
Eddie caught the change in her tone immediately. “I’m not even standing near you! Why are you holding your nose?”
“Because I can smell it through the screen.”
Eddie was stunned.
“You’re just as bad as your brother!” Eddie fumed.
He was beginning to realize Abraham hadpletely misled him.
No part of this mission truly required his presence–there was absolutely nothing that couldn’t have gone on without him.
Ste replied sweetly, “Well, in that case, I’ll hang up.”
“Wait, no! Don’t hang up!”

“Why not? I’m just as bad, remember? No way I’m going to say anything nice for you,”
“I was wrong.”
His tone changed instantly, soft, pleading.

You had to give Eddie credit; when it came to admitting fault, the man was lightning–fast and impressively
flexible.
Ste teased, “Where’s your pride?”
“What pride? I smell so bad, I’m about to pass out from my own stench.”
It was painfully obvious just how much Eddie valued cleanliness.
Ste said, “From where I’m sitting, sounds like your mouth didn’t get a good rinse either.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? You think I’m being rude? I haven’t even said anything!”
Ste went quiet. <i>True</i><i>, </i><i>he </i><i>really </i><i>hadn’t </i><i>said </i><i>anything </i><i>all </i><i>that </i><i>bad</i>.
The guy had been exiled to the middle of nowhere in Milbar Desert, and he still didn’t seem to realize why. <i>Gosh</i><i>, </i>when <i>someone’s </i><i>truly </i><i>hopeless</i>, <i>they </i><i>be </i><i>unstoppable</i>.
“Please, just say a few nice words for me,” Eddie begged. “He said I have to stay here for two <i>years</i>.”
It hadn’t even been that long, and Eddie was already losing it.
If he couldn
get out of that godforsaken ce soon, he really might go insane.
