The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 624 1 Definitely Didn’t Run

“What happened?”

“The twin sisters of Ashen Pact’s current leader–Lana and Lina–snuck into Mr. Victor’s villa last night. They tried to take Ms. Tessa.”

Stella froze; her brain felt like it short–circuited.

“What?”

Abraham glanced over at her. Stella’s chest tightened. “Is Tessa okay?”

“Ms. Tessa is fine; Mr. Victor’s fine too.”

Stella exhaled in relief. “Good. That’s good, as long as they’re both okay.”

“But seriously, what were Lina and Lana trying to pull?”

Stella had heard of those two before.

Hideously ugly and vicious to the core; the kind of people who proved the old saying true–ugly on the outside, uglier on the inside.

“They’re… Ms. Tessa’s younger sisters,” Abel said.

“What?” Stella blinked. “Sisters?”

Wait–what?

Abel continued, “The current leader of Ashen Pact is also Ms. Tessa’s… younger brother.”

Stella was stunned. What the heck?

“Biological? Her actual siblings?”

“They are,” Abel confirmed.

Stella sat there, completely dumbfounded. Well, yeah… if they weren’t blood–related, why would they be called her siblings?

“But Tessa isn’t even that old,” Stella said. “How is her brother already the leader of Ashen Pact?”

Abel looked just as puzzled for a moment.

“All the official records refer to him as her younger brother.”

Whether he was technically older of younger–that remained unclear.

Stella was speechless. What a mess..

The Ashen Pact really was a disaster on the inside.

And Tessa’s background–Stella truly hadn’t expected this.

“Who was the previous leader of Ashen Pact?” she asked.

“Ms. Miller’s mother. After she left, her father took over for a while before passing it down to the current leader,”

Stella nodded, finally putting the pieces together.

Tessa’s background was way more complicated than she’d thought. Stella had assumed she came from a single–parent family simple, straightforward.

And that idiot, after everything that went down last night–hadn’t even called her.

It seemed like Tessa had already begun adapting to the chaos in her world; she was doing her best to take it all in stride. That’s right.

She was learning to stand on her own.

From the looks of it, she was gearing up for a serious showdown with her own mother.

“This could get tricky,” Abel added after a moment’s thought.

Abraham raised a brow and gave him a sidelong glance.

“Since the identity of the intruders wasn’t known at the time,” Abel said, “all of the villa’s defense systems activated. Lana was seriously injured.”

“Seriously?” Abraham asked.

“Yeah. Which means Ashen Pact has now made a major enemy of Mr. Victor.”

Stella went silent.

This was big trouble.

Rumor had it, the current leader of Ashen Pact adored his twin sisters more than anything.

After Abel finished his report, he took his leave.,

He’d barely stepped out when Derrick walked in. As soon as he saw Derrick, Stella quietly headed upstairs.

Derrick took the seat across from Abraham, lit a cigar, and took a slow drag. Abraham frowned. “Don’t smoke in here.”

“What, she’s that precious to you now?” Derrick asked.

Then again, Abraham’s devotion to Stella wasn’t exactly breaking news–they’d all known for a while now.

Abraham didn’t answer. He just gave Derrick a cool, penetrating look.

“Alright, alright–no smoking,” Derrick grumbled, stubbing out the cigar.

Then he laced his fingers together and looked straight at Abraham. “The guy from the night before, was me.”

Abraham’s eyes glinted with a hard–to–read smile. He adjusted the gold rims of his glasses.

“You should be saying that to Marie,” he said calmly.
