That one line-“Go ask Victor yourself“-made Dan’s already chaotic mind even more tangled.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Or you could ask your scumbag father instead.”
The feud between Victor and Ashen Pact was also a feud between Victor and Dale.
So really, asking Victor or asking Dale was the same thing.
Dan froze.
Before, she had said it wasn’t her business. Now she was telling him to go question Victor and Dale?
<i>Wait</i><i>, </i>what…
“Why would I ask them anything?”
Marie sighed. “I don’t know. Whatever your dad did, he knows. You can go ask him.”
How would she know?
Marie yanked her wrist out of Dan’s grip and clutched Derrick’s arm as they walked away.
She truly didn’t know the details of the grudge between Victor and Ashen Pact.
All she knew was that from the moment Victor had joined Abraham, the two had made a deal in secret.
When the time came for Victor to move against Ashen Pact, Abraham would back him.
For years, Victor had held back because of her history with Dan.
That had already been the greatest consideration Victor ever gave her, Marie.
So now, no matter what, she had to stand on Victor’s side.
Once they got into the car, Marie told Derrick, “Add more men. Make sure Ashen Pact doesn’t get even a moment to catch their breath.”
Derrick raised his brows at that.

He clearly hadn’t expected her to speak so firmly right after facing Dan.
He had noticed how nervous she’d been in front of Dan.
The man’s long fingers pinched Marie’s chin and turned her face until their eyes met.
In that moment, Derrick’s gaze was sharp and piercing, as if he meant to strip her bare and see through herpletely.
Under that stare, Marie felt exposed…
“W–why are you looking at me like that?”
“Not bad,” Derrick said.
Not <i>bad? </i>
“It seems you’ve finally given up on him.”
Because she had, she no longershed out at Dan in blind rage.
Knowing she had falsely used him was why she felt uneasy–uneasy, not guilty.
And most of all, she had just urged him to double down and bring in more manpower.
Marie muttered, “You really have nothing better to say? You just had to bring that bastard up again?”
Hadn’t her actions these past weeks made it obvious enough?
Yet the questions kepting, never–ending.
“Ufortable?” Derrick asked.
“Huh?”
“You ate a lot tonight.”
Marie blinked.
The
way
that sounded… it didn’t sit right. “Are you saying I ate too much?”

“Women hate it the most when someone says they eat too much. Hmph!”
Derrick let out a lowugh. “I meant I’m worried you’ll feel sick. You’ve been throwing up

everything you eat these past few days.”
Her appetite had been poor from all the stress. If she overate now, she’d only feel worse.
And tonight she had eaten plenty of spicy soup.
“I’m fine,” Marie said.
“You don’t feel sick after all that?<b>” </b>
“Really, I don’t!”

“Maybe it’s just that the food thesest few days wasn’t good for my stomach,” she added with a puzzled look.
But tonight’s dinner had been delicious. She never expected to find such good spicy soup in Noctarth.
While Marie and Derrick debated over her stomach, Dan stood outside the restaurant, answering call after call until he was at his wit’s end.
By thest one, he nearly smashed his phone to pieces.
mming it shut, he gasped for breath through his fury. “Damn it, what the hell is all this shit?”
He was about to lose his mind.
With a sharp kick, he sent a flowerpot flying, then pulled out a cigarette, lighting it with shaking hands and dragging hard.
Conan stood respectfully behind him. “Sir.”
His voice carried a heavy warning.
Dan was already in a foul mood. He had been restless before seeing Marie, and now he was
worse.
“Spit it out!” he snapped.
Conan spoke carefully, which only frayed Dan’s temper further.
“Look.”

“Look at what?”
Dan nced back at him, then followed Conan’s gaze ahead.
And there–he saw Tessa and Victor just getting out of a car.

Tessa trailed behind Victor like a timid little wife, her lips pouting. “I must’ve dropped it in the restaurant.”
Dan froze.
<i>That </i>was <i>that</i>?
He whipped his head toward Conan again. Conan said, “This morning I got a picture of Ms. Miller. That’s Miss Tessa.”
Dan’s eyes went wide.
<i>Tessa</i><i>? </i>
<i>Her</i><i>? </i>
And then he looked again at Victor, walking in front, holding her hand. Yes, it was Victor.
The sight stabbed into him like a de.
Dan’s head buzzed with static, deafening and blinding.
