She expresses disbelief at how easily her mother is manipulating Dale, who remains oblivious to the truth about Tessa’s parentage.

Tessa’s thoughts turn to Dale, whom she perceives as the ultimate sap for being so easily exploited by her mother.

Stella reassures Tessa that there’s no need to feel guilty about her mother’s actions, framing them as a form of compensation for the years of exploitation Tessa’s mother endured. This perspective empowers Tessa, reinforcing her decision to support her mother’s schemes without remorse. As the chapter concludes, Tessa feels a sense of relief and anticipation for the wedding, embracing the stability that seems to be returning to her life, at least for now.

**Chapter 939: The Ultimate Sap**
The phone rang, and Tessa’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized the caller ID. It was Stella. “I’m getting married the day after tomorrow. Are you coming?” Stella’s voice was bright, yet there was an undercurrent of urgency in her tone.
“The day after tomorrow? That’s so sudden!” Tessa exclaimed, her mind racing to catch up with the news.
“Well, my sister’s back, so…” Stella replied, her voice trailing off, hinting at a deeper story.
Tessa remained silent, the weight of the moment pressing down on her.
Finished.
A wave of envy washed over Tessa as she thought about Stella. The entire Dawson family seemed to adore her, showering her with love and attention. It was a stark contrast to Tessa’s own experiences; her mother, though she loved her, had been largely absent throughout the years.
“Then of course I’m coming,” Tessa finally said, determination lacing her words.
Stella’s tone brightened. “You have time?”
Time? With everything that had been happening in Redwood, how could Tessa possibly find time?
“Yep. My mom’s here, so I don’t have to do anything,” Tessa replied, a hint of sarcasm creeping into her voice.
Speaking of her mom, Tessa’s gaze drifted to the stack of documents spread out before her. “Stella, I have to tell you, I’m starting to think Dale is the ultimate sap.”
Stella paused, confusion evident in her voice. “Huh?”
Tessa leaned in, lowering her voice as if sharing a secret. “Look, none of the kids are his. Artemis and her children have become well-known figures in the Ashen Pact now. But my mom just had me sign over a bunch of Ashen Pact assets.”
Stella’s eyebrows shot up. “That impressive?”
Tessa couldn’t help but marvel at the audacity of it all. “She just got here, and she’s already pulling this off?”
“That’s because my mom’s status in the Ashen Pact is too high. It’s a pit Dale dug for himself,” Tessa explained, shaking her head in disbelief.
It was undeniably true.
“These assets…” Tessa continued, her fingers nervously tracing the edges of the documents. “The ones Mom is having me sign… I’ll be taking them with me when I get married, right?”
Stella nodded eagerly. “Yep. Once they’re given to you, they’re yours.”
“So… does this count as a dowry from Dale?” Tessa asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Uh… this! Does… does it count?
Tessa’s mind raced as she considered the implications.
“It totally counts!” she declared, her excitement bubbling over. “Everything Mom is giving me now is basically my future dowry. And everything she’s giving me, she’s fleeceing from the Ashen Pact!”
When viewed through that lens, it was undeniably a dowry from Dale.
Stella fell into a contemplative silence for a moment. “Yeah, he really is the ultimate sap.”
“But… she’s just fleeceing him, and he’s not even fighting back?” Stella asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.
That was the crux of the matter.
It had taken the combined, relentless efforts of Marie, Derrick, and Victor to bring Dale down. And now, Diana was effortlessly taking advantage of him?
Tessa sighed, trying to explain. “Because he doesn’t believe a word my mom says. He still thinks I’m his daughter.”
Stella’s expression shifted as she absorbed that revelation. “…”
Uh…! That kind of thinking… okay, he’s just destined to be a wounded sap.
It was similar with Artemis; he was hopelessly in love. Even when the entire Redwood community insisted those twins bore no resemblance to him, he remained steadfast in his belief.
With Tessa, the situation was even more comical.
Diana had openly admitted that the child wasn’t his, and still, he refused to accept it.
He was willingly giving Diana so many resources. If he ever did come to believe the truth… wouldn’t his heart simply shatter from the betrayal?
“He’s just destined to be a sap for his entire life.”
Tessa’s worry surfaced again. “I’m just… worried he’ll go crazy and try to take it all back.”
“You don’t need to fret about that,” Stella scoffed, her confidence radiating. “With your aunt’s personality, do you really think she’ll return anything she’s gotten her hands on?”
Stella had only encountered Diana twice, but she could sense the iron will behind that sophisticated exterior.
Remembering the past, Tessa recalled how Dan’s mother had confronted Dale and ended up dead.
But Diana had taken the most precious thing from Dale, and she had faced no repercussions.
It was clear: if that woman dared to seize something, she would undoubtedly keep it.
**Chapter 939: The Ultimate Sap**
Stella comprehended Tessa’s perspective. “You don’t feel guilty about taking Dale’s things, do you?”
Tessa shook her head firmly. “Not at all. What Mom’s taking now is just what he owes her for all those years.”
Who has five or ten years of their life to simply be exploited by someone?
And Dale was the original scumbag. He had done all those terrible things just to protect Artemis. That was the very definition of using someone.
Considering he couldn’t even recall if he had slept with Tessa’s mom, he must have exploited many women.
Stella nodded in agreement. “That’s the right way to think. He owes your mom.”
Tessa felt a surge of validation. “Mhm, I know.”
Stella’s approval pushed Tessa to sign her name even more quickly.
Fleece him. Fleece him dry. No guilt whatsoever!
So what if, when Dale finally wakes up to reality and acknowledges that she isn’t his daughter, he tries to reclaim everything? It would just be another explosive confrontation.
“So… my wedding. You’re definitely coming.”
Tessa grinned, her heart lightening. “Don’t worry, I’ll be there!”
Stella and Tessa’s lives had finally found a semblance of stability. At least for Stella, there were no worries clouding her future.
In the wake of the whirlwind surrounding Stella’s impending wedding, Tessa found herself grappling with complex emotions that intertwined envy, validation, and a sense of empowerment. The stark contrast between her relationship with her mother and the affection showered upon Stella by the Dawson family weighed heavily on her heart. Yet, as she delved deeper into the implications of her mother’s actions, Tessa began to reclaim her narrative. No longer a mere bystander in her own life, she embraced the notion that what was being taken from Dale was not merely a theft but a long-overdue restitution for years of exploitation. The clarity of this realization allowed her to shed the guilt that had threatened to hold her back, igniting a newfound determination to forge her own path.
As Tessa prepared to support Stella on her wedding day, she felt a sense of liberation wash over her. The laughter shared with Stella and the anticipation of the upcoming celebration served as a reminder that life could still hold moments of joy amidst the chaos. Tessa’s earlier worries about Dale’s potential backlash faded into the background, replaced by the realization that she was no longer a victim of circumstance. With each stroke of her pen on the documents, she was not just signing away assets; she was reclaiming her power and redefining her future. In that moment, Tessa understood that she was not only stepping into a new chapter for herself but also supporting her friend in embracing her own happiness. Together, they were crafting a narrative of resilience and strength, proving that even in the face of adversity, bonds of friendship could illuminate the path forward.
