Chapter 660 The Cruel Truth

So Tessa really did matter to Victor.

That meant Maric had to be careful with her training–no injuries.

After that, Marie didn’t say another word. She simply hung up the call and turned to Sophia.

“Huh. Guess he really would give anything.”

Back when Sophia told her Victor was spreading the word in Falvaria–saying he’d give her whatever she wanted–Marie hadn’t believed it.

But now? Hearing it from his mouth?

She believed it.

“What a pleasant surprise.”

So Victor had a thing for Tessa? That just meant Diana had scored one hell of an ally.

Dan… was screwed.

Sophia said, “We need to move.”

“What?”

Now what?

Sophia replied, “Mr. Victor’s people are too good. They’ve already tracked our location.”

Marie gawked. “What? It’s barely been two minutes!”

“Exactly.”

Less than two minutes–and they were already locked on.

They had seriously underestimated Victor’s people.

Marie’s face turned dark. “Well then, what the hell are we waiting for? Pack up and move!”

Sophia was stunned for a second.

Tessa was training with Yuanbing at the shooting range.

She’d learned the basics from Victor three days ago, but after not practicing for a while, she’d already forgotten most of it.

When Marie showed up, she was just in time to witness Tessa’s horribly inaccurate form.

Marie raised a hand to her forehead.

Ugh. At this rate, she’d need a full month just to get the basics down.

Tessa spotted her and gave a dramatic eye–roll. Marie sued. Well, would you look at that? Little white–eyed wolf just rolled her eyes at me.”

Sophia couldn’t help but laugh behind her hand.

After the way Marie had pushed her these past few days, even the kindest soul would’ve turned resentful. An eye–roll was practically a love letter.

Yuanbing looked at Marie. “What brings you here?”

“Pack it up. We’re moving.

Tessa blinked. “Moving?”

Why?

Marie shot her a glare. “Victor’s closing in. Hurry it up.”

They were already being tracked. It was only a matter of time before Victor showed up in

person.

And once they left here, it wouldn’t be easy to find another

spot this secluded.

After all, this place had worked because Victor hadn’t been on high alert yet. But next time? No. chance.

As soon as Tessa heard Victor was coming, her eyes lit up.

“I–I’m not leaving

God.

She’d been terrified of Victor when she was with him.

But now? She was practically desperate to see him again.

Ahem. She’d turned him into her emotional lifeline.

Marie’s lips twitched. “You okay?

Tessa blinked. “What?”

“You’re supposed to go back to the Ashen Pact to help your mom. Do you even know what

mom–or-

Marie continued, “Your dad doesn’t love your child that woman didn’t give him. You, in his eyes, are nothing but a nuisance.”

“Please. You and your mom are thorns in their side. And you still think you can go back to Victor’s arms and live the good life? Girl, grow up.”

Tessa’s breath caught.

Marie’s words were harsh–but not wrong.

Marie said. “Those two freaks came after you because your mom is a threat to their mother- the one your dad really loves.”

“Oh, and let’s not forget Dan. Your dad, Dale, is the mantis chasing the cicada. And Dan? He’s the bird waiting to pounce.”

On the surface, it looked like Diana and Dale were working together.

Outwardly, it seemed Diana and Dan were on the same team.

о

But Maric knew that wasn’t true.

Dan had been the one to bring Diana back–because he wanted to weaponize her hatred for Dale.

The question now was: who would win? Dale, or Diana?

And if Diana did win?
