The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 Missing Pieces

Victor raised an eyebrow. “What, you think he was right?”

“No!” Tessa was about to lose it.

What was even happening anymore? One after another, these people- could their brains be any more bizarre?

And just like that, Victor had completely taken over.

Training? Yeah, that was done.

When she sprained her ankle earlier, Victor had already made up his mind. She was a woman–so what? He could protect her.

Whatever fires and blades the world threw their way, he’d take her through them all.

They were officially together now.

But Stella wasn’t so lucky. Abraham knew Victor was planning something big involving Ashen Pact.

So he never told Stella that Tessa was with Victor.

And when Abel called Tessa, he deliberately kept it vague–never mentioning a word about Marie going to Ashen Pact.

He just asked where she was. Tessa thought it was odd but didn’t think too deeply.

…

Stella, of course, was worried sick about Tessa.

The people of Ashen Pact were her blood relatives–yet every one of them wanted her dead.

Her father, her brothers, her sisters…

All because her mother had become the center of the faction’s power struggle–and with Dan manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Now that Tessa was tangled up with Victor, their situation had become even more complicated.

Everyone wanted her gone.

Unable to reach Tessa, Stella called Marie.

On the call, she asked, “Still no word from Bingbing?”

Marie went quiet.

Just hearing Stella say Tessa’s name made her chest ache.

Dan, that bastard.

At this point, she genuinely feared that Dan had already killed Tessa—but she had no proof.

Not that she cared about proof.

What mattered was Star.

If Stella broke down from the worry, Marie would lose her mind.

“I promise,” Marie said. “Now that I’m here in Ashen Pact, I won’t leave without bringing Tessa back.”

Even though she hadn’t seen a single trace of her yet…

Even if deep down she feared Tessa might already be dead…

She still made that vow for Stella’s sake.

“Did Dan give you any trouble?” Stella asked softly.

Marie’s heart clenched.

See? She knew it–her little sister, the one she raised with so much love,

still cared more about her.

“Don’t worry,” Marie said. “He can’t do anything to me. If he tries, I’ll kill him.”

She didn’t bother being polite when it came to Dan.

Stella said, “Be careful anyway. That man’s nothing but a sneaky, vicious snake.”

Thanks to Marie, Stella had lost all goodwill toward Dan.

Marie replied, “I know. You just behave and take care of yourself.”

“Oh, and I’ve got some good news,” she added quickly.

“What is it?”

“I’m having triplets.”

Marie went silent.

What?

Wait a damn minute…

Chapter 697 Missing Pieces

եր

Her brother was that powerful? He got Star pregnant with triplets?

Triplets! Twins were already impressive–but triplets?

+8 Pearls

She remembered seeing a pregnant woman with twins once. Her belly had been so huge she could barely walk.

If Star was carrying three…

How hard would that be?

“Star, if it gets too hard, you don’t have to keep them.”

Triplets were exhausting. Just try again later–one at a time would be much easier.

“What… what kind of comment is that?” Stella sounded hurt.

Give them up?

Marie tried to explain. “I’m just worried about how much you’ll struggle. Do you know how big your belly has to be for triplets?”

She was being honest.

She was scared Stella wouldn’t be able to handle it.
