Dan chuckled under his breath. Before she could say anything, he had already turned and continued upstairs.
As he walked, he tossed a remark over his shoulder. “Secrets may look safe in the dark, but the dark is the first
thing to break.”
Artemis’s body went weak. She staggered back two steps before she barely managed to steady herself.
Her face had drained of all color.
In the study.
The moment Dan stepped in, he met Dale's exhausted eyes.
Seeing him, Manny's gaze blazed with fury.
But with Dale sitting there, he didn’t dare be the first to speak.
Dan strolled lazily across the room, pulled out a chair opposite the desk, and sat down without hesitation.
There wasn’t the slightest trace of loss or worry in the way he carried himself.
Looking at him, Manny was almost certain Tessa was in his hands.
“Father.” Manny clenched his jaw and looked at Dale.
Before Dan arrived, he had already spent quite stbadmouthing him to Dale.
Up to now, Manny and his mother had taken the hardest hit.
Especially his mother’s.
Meanwhile, Dan-aside from losing Dovemont to Derrick-looked like he'd barely taken a hit
at all.
Meanwhile, Manny and Artemis were close to being driven mad.
Within the entire Ashen Pact, it felt like the one with the smallest loss had the highest chance of having taken
Tessa.

Chapter 751 Shadows in the Dark
Dale raised his hand, cutting off Manny before he could continue.
His
gaze on Dan was sharp, heavy, and impossible to read.

Dan leaned back. “If you calledhere just to spout nonsense about handing Tessa over, don’t waste your time.
She’s not in my hands.”
Before Dale could reply, Manny ground out through clenched teeth, “Who else could it be? You're the one who
brought that woman back. She must've slipped out of your control, right? So you grabbed that bastard child to
use against her!”
By “her,” he meant Diana.
By “bastard child,” he meant Tessa.
Dan let out a short laugh, turning his eyes toward Dale. “Well, that’s interesting. A bastard?”
The more he said the word, the more mocking his smile became. Then he turned his gaze on Manny, his eyes
carrying a deeper meaning.
Manny's chest tightened under that look. “You...”
“Enough.” Dale’s roar cut him off before he could say more.
“Father! All he’s lost so far is Dovemont, one resource site!” Manny spat.
Dan arched a brow. “And the more you've lost, the more likely it looks like you're the ones who took Tessa.”
“You-"
“Why else do you think they keep targeting you and
your mother?”
After a full day and night of relentless attacks, Manny and Artemis were both on the edge of collapse.
Though no one in the Morris family had been spared, the mother and son had suffered the
worst.
Dale slammed his palm on the desk with a loud crack. “That's enough! Both of you, sh*t your
mouths!”
He hadn't gathered them to tear each other apart while the real problem went unsolved.
They fell silent at once, though Manny shot Dan a glare filled with murderous hate.
Dale exhaled heavily. “She most likely isn’t in the hands of anyone in the Morris family.”

His voice carried the weight of his frustration.
“Father, you-"
“Enough!”
He clearly wanted to keep pushing it.
But Dale’s sharp look silenced Manny instantly.
Dan raised a brow. “Oh?”

“She's not in our hands. We still don't
know which force took her, \ighatever
grudgesihg wef Yotrhave, drop
therh! Right now, you both need to
put everything aside and find her.”
Manny snapped, “If that bastard child isn’t with us, why do we have to be the ones to find her?”
His temper flared.
And in a way, he wasn't
wrong-Tessa had never beeny nrtheir

the Dawson family had been tearing
at them nonstop. The content is on

Still, Manny refused to let go of the idea that Dan was the one hiding her.
His glare burned into Dan, but this tDale cut him off before he could speak.
“I've checked everyone around you. She really isn’t in anyone’s hands.”
The tension was already thick, and his words cut through it like a blade.
Dan showed no surprise.
It wasn't surprising—Dale had never
trusted him. For IRIS Epes

But Manny was stunned, staring at Dale in disbelief.
“Father, you-"
“Enough. Stop arguing. The most important thing now is finding out who really took Tessa and getting her back.”
