The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 494 Guess Who's Trapped Now? Abraham said, "How do you know Dan is actually living a good life right now?" "What's that supposed to mean?" Derrick snapped, gritting his teeth.

What was that supposed to mean? Was Dan not doing well? No way....

Marie had just gone to Frapucu, honestly, a lot of things were still unclear.

And now Abraham was already making moves-anyone who knew what was going on would say he was just being protective.

But people who didn't, they'd accuse him of being completely unreasonable.

Though to be fair, he wasn't exactly someone who cared about being reasonable. Just look at the crap he was saying now.

"I just accidentally touched her! And now you wantto marry Marie? Has Marie even agreed to this?" Derrick sprang up, seething.

Before Abraham could answer, a voice cfrom the study doorway-Marie's voice, "I agree Abraham went quiet. Derrick was stunned.

He turned, eyes locking on Marie standing in the doorway-he had no idea when she'd even gotten there. His mouth. twitched uncontrollably.

"What the heck do you mean by that?" Is this real life anymore? "What do you mean you agree Agree to what?" Marie stepped into the room, arms crossed over her chest. "Marrying you, of course. That way you can stop all nonsense. After all, Star would never marry a divorced man. I'm going to make sure you have zero chance." Derrick was silent.

your His mind went completely blank. His pupils shrank as he stared at Marie, unable to believe what he was hearing. What did she just say? That she was going to make sure I have no chance with Stellaever? "You'd sacrifice your own happiness just to take away my shot?" Marie shrugged, arms still folded. “Yeah. So what?" man was Marie? Derrick's breath grew ragged and uneven. She's insane. She's totally insane. What kind of woman was "What about Dan? You think he'd be okay with a divorced woman?" Derrick was growing frantic; he threw out Dan's nlike it was his trump card-that man who had lived rent- free in Marie's heart for years.

The truth was, Derrick was already reeling He'd chere to call Marie out-for stealing his file and handing it to Dan.

Now he felt like he was the one getting trapped, like he was being forced into something he couldn't escape...

Marie didn't care. "Him? He's marrying someone else now. Doesn't matter-we can both be divorced." Derrick jumped to his feet. "Who the heck wants to be divorced with you? Knock it off already!" "I'm telling you, I will never love you." 1/2 +10 FreeChapter 494 Guess Who's Trapped Now? The angrier he got, the harsher his words became.

Marie raised a brow. "We can get the marriage license tomorrow, and the divorce papers the day after. Or we can stay married forever-1 don't care. Love isn't necessary." Derrick was silent. So this whole thing was just to makedivorced? She wanted to cut off any possibility he had left with Stella-like she was determined to end it for good.

Their back-and-forth was heating up. Abraham gave Marie a long, thoughtful look.

The whole situation was spiraling out of control.

Marie turned to Derrick. "You shameless scumbag. Star's already pregnant-with my brother's child. And you're still trying to worm your way in?" "You think Star would actually marry someone like you? You're a joke. She doesn't even want you, and here you are clinging on like a leech. You're disgusting" She'd been holding back, but now she let Derrick have it.

Back in the day. Derrick had known-everyone in the Dawson family had sharp tongues, especially Stella. She looked soft and sweet, but the girl could hold her own.

With a Dawson upbringing, even her mouth beca deadly weapon.

The i past few days, Marie had only been fighting him physically-not verbally.

But now that she was unleashing her verbal arsenal, she was like a firecracker...

"You done yet? Marie, I'm telling you-stop confusing people and giveback my stuff!" If they thought all this craziness would distract him from why he was here, they had seriously miscalculated.

The moment she heard that. Marie's temper flared again.

Even though she couldn't exactly explain the situation clearly- She genuinely hadn't taken the damn file.

"What stuff? I didn't take anything" This guy-she really couldn't talk sense with him.

Seeing her shrug it off like that, Derrick's anger reignited. "Youcback from Dan's place and then cstraight to beat up.

"And here I was thinking you were mad on Stella's behalf-but clearly you had sother motive all along. And now that the file's in Dan's hands, you expectto believe you didn't take it?" Marie went quiet. Could this guy's brain twist things any hardert

After everything that had just gone down, he still found a way to spin it around. At this point Marie wished ve she could just pass out and be done with it. Looks like if I want to handle this idior, I'm gonna have to get serious. Meanwhile, the Dawson family, they'd expected Derrick to stir things up over Stella now that she was back.

But no one saw this coming-Dan's file had ignited the fire under Derrick first.

Now everything was in total chaos; and Marie? She was already neck-deep in it, no way out.
