Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 508

Jamie paused, unsure how much of this Wendy would believe. But as a fellow woman, she had to say what she knew, whether Wendy believed it or not.

"I had a friend overseas look into it, and this 'Obsidian Circle' really exists. They believe that by gathering nine 'virgins' at a specific time and place and performing a ritual, they can awaken their so-called 'Tiger King' to gain immense power and control the world."

"Finch is an orphan with no family. He was groomed by The Obsidian Circle to become one of their operatives, specifically tasked with approaching simple, love-starved women. He uses sweet talk and overwhelming affection to lure them into a romantic trap, making them fall completely for him."

It felt like listening to a myth. Wendy had assumed Finch was just a manipulative jerk, but she never imagined he was something else entirely.

Jamie continued her explanation.

"They have files on countless people, so it's easy for them to find their targets. And it's not just Finch. Other members are carrying out the same scheme. These women, just like you, have unknowingly become victims of The Obsidian Circle's conspiracy."

Wendy swayed on her feet, her already pale face turning even whiter. She steadied herself, forcing a calm she didn't feel, and turned to Jamie. "Thank you for telling me this. I know what I need to do."

With that, Wendy stood up, preparing to leave.

"Your parents were able to find your apartment so easily. Didn't you ever wonder if someone told them where you lived?"

Wendy, who had just taken a step, froze as if plunged into an icy abyss.

She turned her head slowly, a storm brewing in her eyes, and asked, her voice tight, "It was Finch!"

Jamie nodded. "Yes. And not only that, he was the one who incited your parents to harass you online. He told your father that the only way you'd find peace is if your mother and brother disappeared forever. That's why he didn't show up before your parents arrived. According to his plan, he was supposed to come see you tomorrow, feed you a bunch of touching words, and then—"

"And then I would willingly go to Dawnhaven with him, because I would have nothing and no one left but him."
