The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In
Chapter 767 Rx, She’s Busy Anyway
With that thought, Ste felt a little lighter; Tessa, hearing her say it, also felt somewhat relieved.

After all, whether she was in Victor’s hands or Abraham’s, it made no difference to Marie.
But still…
“Hey, what exactly is all this about? It clearly started because of me, but now it feels like it has. nothing to do with me anymore.”
Ste was speechless. <i>Well</i>, <i>that’s</i>…
“You know, now that you mention it, you might be right.”
This whole mess had started because of Tessa.
At first, it seemed like all Ashen Pact had to do was hand her over, and everything would be fine.
But in the end…
Tessa wasn’t even with Ashen Pact.
What had begun because of her no longer revolved around her; her role had be insignificant.
It had shifted from a matter of demanding her return to an all–out carve–up of Ashen Pact.
“I’m just worried about my mom now,” Tessa said.
“Rx; Ashen Pact is already in total chaos. They don’t have the time or the focus to go your mom.”

“Victor told them to hand her over!” Tessa pressed.
Ste hesitated. <i>Uh</i>… <i>that</i><i>… </i>
“There’s nothing they can do; their heads are spinning right now. They can’t even think straight, let alone figure out what’s going on with your mom.”
Tessa went quiet. <i>She’s </i><i>right</i>… that really <i>is </i><i>the </i>case. Ashen Pact <i>was </i><i>in </i><iplete </i><i>disarray</i><i>! </i>
Just like before, when they’d been told to find her… it hadn’t just been Marie turning Ashen Pact upside down; Ashen Pact’s own people had torn their ce apart without even realizing it.

Tessa was dumbfounded.
“What on earth is this all about?<b>” </b>

“Who cares,” Ste said. “As long as that old bastard is having a rough time, that’s all that matters.”
Tessa bit her lip.
Hearing that made her feel even better.
When she thought about how her mother had kept her distance all these years, she realized Ashen Pact’s people had probably always been watching her.
That was why, in her anger back then, she’d taken something so important.
They hadn’t given her or her mother any peace all these years; it served them right to suffer

“I just heard Derrick snatched the stuff from those twins,” Ste added.
“Good–let him rob them blind! Tell Marie to grab whatever she can get her hands on,” Tessa said.
The moment those twins were mentioned, Tessa grew even more animated.
And hearing they’d been robbed–oh, that was satisfying.
But just picturing their faces…
“Ste, I’ve always suspected those twins weren’t even Dale’s,” she muttered.
“Doesn’t matter whose they are,” Ste said. “Right now, don’t say anything else–just grab what
you can.”
“Have Marie do it.”
Tessa wouldn’t dare call Marie herself; she was afraid Marie would tear her apart.
“Got it,” Ste said.
Truthfully, she wasn’t eager to poke Marie either.
Marie was furious; best not to provoke her at all.
The two of them kept talking for quite a while before hanging up. Tessa left the room.

She found Victor on the phone.
From the receiver came Marie’s voice.
“Victor, just tell me how you want me to cooperate with you.”
Her tone was sharp, tinged with agitation, like she was on the verge of losing it.
Tessa froze. <i>Cooperate</i><i>? </i><i>Cooperate </i>with <i>what</i><i>? </i>
Victor frowned, ncing at her as she lingered in the doorway, clearly rattled.

Obviously, after learning the truth from Ste, just hearing Marie’s voice was enough to make Tessa flinch.
He gave her a sidelong look, then spoke into the phone with all seriousness, “Keep robbing.”
Tessa’s heart was already pounding; when she heard him tell Marie to keep going, she panicked
even more.
<i>Couldn’t </i><i>he </i><i>at </i><i>least </i><i>keep </i><i>Marie </i><i>out </i><i>of </i>it? <i>That </i><i>way</i>, <i>when </i><i>she </i><i>found </i><i>out </i>I <i>was </i>with Victor, <i>she </i>wouldn’t be so <i>furious</i>.
“Okay,” Marie replied.
She hung up.
Victor looked <i>at </i>Tessa. “Come here.”
She shuffled forward like a scolded child, lips pouting, eyes brimming with grievance as though she might burst into tears any moment.
Victor yanked her into his arms, tilted her chin, and kissed her hard.
When he finally let go, she still looked pitiful.
“What is it?” he asked.
“Marie’s going to want to tear me apart,” Tessa muttered.
“She’ll only want to bite you; she won’t kill you.”
Tessa blinked. <i>Being </i><i>bitten </i><i>is </i><i>still </i><i>pretty </i><i>scary</i><i>… </i>
Her head was spinning whenever it came to Marie now.
Victor let out a lowugh at her expression. “Don’t worry; she has more than enough on her

“Huh?”

“The Tom family’s situation has gotten messy,” he exined. “Once things wrap up here in Noctarth, when they return to Falvaria, the Tom family will keep them busy enough.”
Hearing that, Tessa’s lips twitched.
