Manny opened his mouth again. “But he-"
“Out!” Dale's roar cracked like thunder.

Mother and son froze. They exchanged a look, then swallowed their words and left the study in
silence.
Alone, Dale pressed his fingers hard into his temples, forcing his breath to steady.
After a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed.
“Sir,” cthe prompt voice on the other end.
“Keep Manny and Dan under watch,” Dale ordered grimly. “Search everyone around them. Leave no stone
unturned.”
He had never fully trusted Dan. But now-even Manny, his own son, was no longer above suspicion.
All he wanted was to find Tessa and throw her into Marie's hands.
That girl had beca curse, dragging the Ashen Pact to the brink of ruin.
“Yes, sir.”
“Wait.” Dale's voice cut in just before the line went dead.
“Search around Madam as well. Quietly.”
There was a pause of stunned silence on the line before the man replied, “Understood.”
For years, no matter his doubts, Dale had never once turned suspicion on Artemis-the woman he loved.
Now, even she was not spared.
Outside the study, Manny and Artemis walked together, both wearing grim expressions.
“You put men on Dan,” Artemis snapped.

That woman was trouble incarnate. As long as she lingered, disaster would only deepen.
Manny seethed. “And why are they even looking at us? Do they have a shred of proof that we took that bastard
girl?”
The mere mention of Tessa made his blood boil.
She was nothing but a cast-off child, abandoned by her father-yet somehow she had roused Dawson family, the
Tom family, and even Victor himself against the Ashen Pact.
Anyone who didn’t know better might think she was skind of saint.
Artemis’s tone sharpened. “Evidence or not, we still have to help find her.”
That was what infuriated her most.
They had no proof, and yet they were the ones forced to bear the burden, to somehow return a girl they had
never taken.
Manny's face darkened further. “This is madness.”
Meanwhile, Dan’s position at Dovemont had grown shaky after Derrick’s strike.
He immediately dispatched his own men to shadow Manny, Artemis, and even Dale, determined to see whose
hands Tessa truly lay in.
Chaos swallowed the Ashen Pact whole.
Just as Victor had predicted, suspicion ate them alive.
Dale watched Dan, Manny, and Artemis.
Manny sent spies after Dan.
Dan set watchers on Dale, Manny, and Artemis.
All of them clawed at each other, searching for one girl.
And just as they turned inward, Marie struck again. Derrick’s forces targeted another string of vital strongholds.
This time, even Artemis’s and Manny's holdings were hit.

He had been merciless, hitting them where it hurt most.
Derrick nodded. “They'll have little choice now.”
Just then, Marie's phone buzzed.
A local number.
She raised a brow at Derrick. “Ashen Pact?”
“Answer it.”
Marie slid her thumb across the screen. “Hello.”

Data Tech-one of the Ashen Pact’s most crucial assets, long under Artemis’s control.
