The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 655 A Blade in the Making.

All of Marie’s phones were off, and no one in her inner circle could be reached.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the dining room was tense.

Stella sat quietly, spooning soup into her mouth. Victor and Abraham were seated nearby.

Abraham took a sip of his coffee. “Didn’t I already give you Job? Silas came back too, didn’t he?”

Victor said. “It’s been three days.”

Abraham replied, “You know what Marie’s temper is like. If she doesn’t want to show up, no one can find her.”

Finally-

The kind of worry he’d once had for Stella in Marie’s hands had now shifted to Victor.

Back then, he’d truly feared Marie might go too far with Stella.

Just like Marie had said to Stella the other day–there were times she truly didn’t know her

limits.

Victor muttered, “She’s still sick.”

Abraham fell silent.

So did Stella.

Victor had mentioned it that day.

Stella swallowed her soup and called out toward the living room, “Don’t worry, Victor. My sister actually can take care of people.”

Back when she herself had been taken away, she’d also been sick.

But saying Marie could “take care” of someone? That clearly didn’t help–Victor turned to Stella, eyes brimming with restraint.

Abraham shot him a cold glare! “If you’re going to sit there sulking like that, get out.”

Victor said. “Abraham-

“You’d be better off spending this time out searching than wasting it here.”

Victor fell quiet.

Fair enough.

“I’ve spent the last three days scouring half the globe.”

And it was true. In just three days, he’d practically turned the world upside down–and still hadn’t found a single trace of Marie.

Any place near the ocean had already been searched.

To think she might have dumped someone straight into the sea to train them…. Only Maric would pull something like that…

Tessa had no background, no foundation.

That kind of training–wasn’t it just a death sentence?

“You’re better off asking Derrick than asking me,” Abraham added.

The moment he mentioned Derrick, Victor’s fists clenched even tighter.

Derrick had decided to butt in out of nowhere.

But as much as it infuriated him, Victor didn’t actually believe Derrick knew where Marie was.

“You think Marie would tell him where she went?”

“He’s her husband.”

Victor went silent.

That fact only made his blood boil.

He knew exactly why Derrick had inserted himself into the situation. Dan was also looking for Marie and Tessa.

And Derrick? He just wanted to go up against Dan.

If the three of them wanted to fight, fine. Let them fight.

But why drag Tessa into it?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

In the end, Victor stormed out in a fury.

Inside the dining room, Abraham walked over to Stella, noticing she hadn’t touched her milk. He picked it up and handed it to her gently.

Stella asked. “Victor’s not mad at me, is he?”

Seriously, what the hell?

Tessa was her best friend. Why would Victor be acting like she had done something wrong?

So much had happened in just a few days.

Now it seemed Victor had more claim to Tessa than she did.

Abraham said. “Drink the milk first.”

“Do I have to?”

He nodded.

Stella blinked in disbelief.

It tasted awful. How could this be non–negotiable?

But with Abraham staring her down, she eventually gave in and took it. After half a cup, she really couldn’t force down another drop.

Seeing she’d reached her limit, Abraham didn’t push.

As soon as he sat down, Stella asked, “Hey… Are you sure my sister won’t actually hurt Tessa?”

She’d been feeling anxious these past few days too.

Given Tessa and Dan’s relationship, there was no guarantee Marie wouldn’t take it out on

Tessa.

Abraham said calmly, “She won’t.”

“Are you sure?”

Stella still looked worried.

“She won’t,” Abraham repeated. “She’ll just turn Tessa into a blade. One aimed straight at Dan.7

Stella fell silent.

Yeah… That sounded like something Marie would do.
