Chapter 1093

[ 697 words ]

Years ago, Derek had temporarily pushed Lacey into the position of Black Gate’s leader just to protect Adelle.

But who would have thought that this move would solidify Lacey’s undeniable status in the hearts of the Black Gate members…

After Lacey left, Susanna eventually signed her name on the stack of documents her mother had prepared.

Stella’s call came in shortly after. “I’m getting married in three days. Are you coming?”

“Three days? Isn’t that a bit sudden?”

“Well, Yvonne is back,” Stella replied.

.” Susanna went silent.

She was truly envious of Star.

The entire Quinn family adored her so deeply.

But then again, her own mother loved her too… she just hadn’t been by her side

very much over the years.

“Then I’m definitely coming,” Susanna said.

“Do you even have the time?” Stella asked.

After all, things over in Litamark had been incredibly chaotic lately.

How could Susanna possibly find the time?

“I do. Now that my mom is here, I barely have anything to do,” Susanna explained. Speaking of her mother…

Susanna glanced at the files in front of her. “Star, let me tell you, I seriously think Derek is the ultimate sucker.”

“Huh?”

“Look at it this way-none of the kids are his. Now Adelle and her own kids have made a huge name for themselves in Black Gate.”

“But my mom just made me sign a bunch of documents transferring Black Gate assets over to me.”

“Your mom is that much of a boss?” Stella sounded impressed.

She had just arrived in Litamark and was already pulling off something this massive?

“It’s just that my mom holds a really high position in the eyes of the Black Gate people,” Susanna said. “It can’t be helped. Derek dug this grave for himself.”

Honestly, it was true.

And as for these assets… “These properties my mom is having me sign over? I’m definitely taking them with me when I get married someday.”

“Yeah, once they’re given to you, they’re yours,” Stella agreed.

“So, is Derek basically funding my wedding fund?”

“!!!” Stella was floored.

Uh… wait!

“Does… does it count?”

Could it really be considered that?

“It totally counts!” Susanna exclaimed. “Everything my mom is giving me now is basically my future nest egg.”

“And she’s skimming all of it straight from Black Gate!”

So, going by that logic, Derek was absolutely funding her dowry.

Stella fell silent for a moment. “Yeah, he really is a massive sucker.”

“But isn’t he putting up a fight while your mom fleeces him?”

That was what Stella couldn’t understand.

During this recent conflict, it took the combined efforts of Yvonne, Xander, and Hutto deal with him and even

that required a significant amount of work. .

Yet now Lacey was… just easily snatching things from under him?

“Because he completely refuses to believe

stillihing my mom says, et

still insists that im his daughter Susanna explained content

“…” Stella was speechless.

Wow!

With that kind of delusional mindset, Derek was destined to be a tragically heartbroken fool.

Back when he was madly in love with Adelle Nelson, he had been obsessed to a toxic degree.

Even when everyone in Litamark pointed out that those ugly twins looked nothing like him, he never harbored a single doubt.

And now, seeing him act this way with Susanna was even more absurd.

Susanna’s mother had explicitly admitted that the child wasn’t his!

Yet, he still refused to believe it…

He was willingly handing over so much to Lacey. What would happen when he finally accepted the truth?

Wouldn’t his heart just explode from sheer rage?

“Then he’s doomed to be a fool for the rest of his life,” Stella remarked.

“I’m just a bit worried that he’s going to go crazy and demand it all back later!” Susanna admitted.

“You don’t need to worry about that Knowing your mom’s personality, do you really think she’d give back anything she managed to get her hands on?”

Stella chuckled softly.

She had met Lacey in Portis City. Although they had only crossed paths twice, she

knew a formidable woman when she saw one.

That impeccably styled woman was clearly not someone to be messed with!

After all…

When Dan’s mother had gone up against Derek all those years ago, she ended up losing her life.

But Lacey had managed to take the most valuable things from Derek and hadn’t suffered any losses over the years.

It was clear that if this woman dared to take something, she had the power to keep

it!
