She wasn't even giving him a chance to talk. What was he supposed to say? .

No one could keep up with her like this.

Marie was absolutely fuming.

Just thinking about Derrick's rage earlier- like he was ready to throw her in a pot and boil her alive-made it clear how important that file must've been.

"Talk. Where's the file? Not talking? Fine, I'll beat you until you do!" She was hitting him so hard, he couldn't even open his mouth.

"That's enough..." "Let go? You let go right now, bastard!" Marie thrashed with everything she had, trying to gain the upper hand. But the strength difference between men and women was too much.

Even with her skill and stamina, Dan's full- body hold left her completely restrained. She had no way to fight back.

"Mr. Morris..." The middle-aged man who'd been leading the guards stepped forward nervously. His glare at Marie had been vicious at first.

But the moment he saw her face, his breath caught-and his heart jumped into his throat.

Not only had plenty of people been warned by her, several had suffered directly at her hands.

Especially that gemstone mine owned by the Dorne family- She'd practically stripped it bare.

"Um, Mr. Morris..." 2/8 12:00 75 Chapter 512 You Think I Won't Hit You Again? Finished Now he was stuck.

One was a potential investor he still needed. The other was the Dawson family's little devil. What was he supposed to do? The color drained from his face-turning every shade imaginable.

Dan looked down at Marie, growling, "Everyone out." Hearing that was like receiving a royal pardon. The man's heart finally settled.

He quickly barked at the others, "Out, out- everyone out!" Dear god-what even is this? Mr. Morris... and that she-devil? It was baffling. Everyone knew that woman already had someone in her heart, yet here she was chasing a man down like this...

And what a way to chase him.

Everyone left.

Now, only Marie and Dan were left in the room.

Marie glared at him through clenched teeth. "Get off me." Dan's grip on her wrists tightened, his warm breath brushing her cheek.

He had a gentle-looking face.

But...

Those eyes-once soft and full of affection when he looked at her-were now sharp with danger.

Of course. With a man like him, that gentleness had only ever been skin-deep.

Dan's eyes narrowed. "Just because you're from the Dawson family, you think I won't kill you?" Already furious- Hearing that made Marie snap.

Marie's head was pounding from the impact -her skull ringing.

As for Dan-he hadn't expected it at all. Her headbutt nearly scrambled his brain.

Amnesia, huh...

She was convinced this man had

"You bastard! Tell me-where the hell is Derrick's file?!" Dan dodged her attacks.

His eyes darkened with menace.

Marie saw it and got even angrier. "What, you steal something and still have the nerve to glare at me?" With that, she lunged again and started fighting him for real.

Outside the room, the people who'd invited Dan hadn't left yet. Several had their ears pressed to the door, listening in.
