Chapter 728 The Shocking Truth

It really was his fault…

He had never imagined anyone would stoop to such a petty trick just to upset her.

Now Madam Evelyn had already given orders: everything sent to Stella had to be carefully checked in every possible way before it ever reached her hands.

Stella burrowed into his arms, her voice small and aggrieved. “They all want to steal you away.”

“Then Stella won’t let them steal me, alright?”

“Then you can’t let them take you

either.”

“Alright. I’ll do whatever Stella says.”

Abraham soothed her patiently. At this point, whatever Stella said, he simply agreed. Not a hint of contradiction.

After a long while, Stella finally calmed down.

But Abraham was the one suffering now–heat surging through his body, leaving him in desperate need of a cold shower.

He had just stepped into the bathroom when Stella’s phone rang.

It was Tessa calling.

Seeing her number stunned Stella. Everyone had been searching for Tessa these past days, especially Marie, who was practically tearing the Ashen Pact apart.

Now, seeing Tessa’s name flash across the screen, Stella froze for a second before hurriedly picking up.

“Tessa?”

“It’s me.”

Stella tightened her grip on the phone. “Did Marie find you? How are you? Did those bastards from the Morris family give you any trouble?”

Because of Marie, Stella’s words toward the Morris family were nothing but venom,

If she could curse them, she would.

“Huh?” Tessa blinked in confusion.

“You don’t know? We’ve been losing our minds looking for you. The Morris family are animals. You’re their blood relative–how could they treat you like this?”

Yes, the Liang family were animals too, but Stella’s heart still ached at how the Morris family treated Tessa.

She herself had the Dawson family behind her. She had Abraham.

But Bingbing’s mother was gone, and Victor was still practically a stranger.

Even if she knew Victor’s intentions weren’t simple, how reliable could such feelings be after such a short time?

“Um… what are you talking about?” Tessa’s head spun. Lately she had been following Victor’s lead so closely that her own thoughts were hazy.

Now, hearing Stella’s questions, she felt her brain go blank.

“What do you mean what? I asked if the Morris family hurt you. Did they hit you?”

“I—I haven’t been with the Morris family at all.”

The Morris family? Truthfully, she had been itching to hit them herself.

But Victor hadn’t allowed it…

And Lewis kept mocking her, saying the little tricks she’d picked up under Marie were nothing compared to what the Morris family could do.

Thinking about it, he wasn’t wrong.

After all, the Ashen Pact was one of the most terrifying organizations in all of Noctarth.

She had barely been by Marie’s side for twenty–some days. That really wasn’t enough to face them.

But Stella now–what was she even talking about?

“You’re not with the Morris family?”

This time, it was Stella’s turn to be shocked.

If not with them, then where had she been all this time?

“No, of course not.”

“Then it wasn’t my sister who found you?”

“Marie’s looking for me? I didn’t know that.”

Tessa’s own face was blank with confusion.

:

The world seemed to crack apart at that very moment.

Something felt wrong, but she couldn’t piece it together.

“I’ve called you several times,” Tessa muttered. “But your brother always answered. Finally, I got through to you this time.”

“You called me before?”

Already reeling, Stella felt another wave of shock crash over her.

“Of course I did. Didn’t your brother tell you?”
