PopularNovelChapter 513 One Punch, One Threat, One Storm Lance-the one who had invited Dan tonight-had been trying to get an edge on Abraham's munitions supply chain but hadn't succeeded once.
So, he'd turned his hopes to Dan.
And now...
The guy crouched behind Lance nervously asked, "You sure you looked into Mr. Morris and that demoness?" Lance was already drenched in sweat. The commotion from the private room clearly meant a fight had broken out.
"I didn't think Mr. Morris had anything to do with her!" Lance hissed.
Marie was so vicious.
Who would've guessed she had any kind of entanglement with a man? Before today, no one in their right mind would've thought that was even on the table. So now what? Lance looked miserable. "This was all for nothing." If Dan was tied up with the Luke family, then trying to get the Morris family to invest in raw materials was officially dead in the water.
And judging by the racket inside...
"Who even knows if this is love or hate?" someone muttered. “If this turns out to be stwisted lovers' spat, then we're screwed." Inside, Marie and Dan were fighting like a hurricane. Marie's skills had improved a lot over the years. Maybe Dan was drunk, or maybe he was still going easy on her because she was a woman- Either way, in the end, Marie landed a punch that knocked him out cold.
Hair tousled, Marie stormed out of the private room.

"Remember this-I'm telling my brother what happened tonight.”" Lance had been involved in too many shady deals these past few years, and now he was tangled up with Dan too? No way she was letting that slide.
Lance panicked. "Ms. Marie, please-don't." "Hmph." Marie snorted and strode off.
Lance wanted to go after her but glanced back to see Dan still unconscious. He turned right back around.
Outside the club, it had started to rain.
And it wasn't a light drizzle-it was pouring.
Marie walked through the downpour. All that rage she'd unleashed on Dan... now washed away into something quieter, something sadder.
Even just her back looked lonely and desolate.
In a nearby car, Derrick sat watching. Kale was behind the wheel.

Still, Derrick was clearly irritated. He lit a cigarette, took two putts, then suddenly opened the car door, ready to get out.
Just as he stepped one foot out- Someone appeared behind Marie, holding an umbrella Both Derrick and Kale recognized him instantly-Abraham's man. Rox Derrick's eyes narrowed, and he pulled his foot back inside the car.
"Tch. And here I thought Abraham only cared about Stella. Didn't expect he'd look after this she-devil too." Kale scratched his nose.
He knew Derrick was pissed about Rox showing up.
He cleared his throat. "Well, she's his biological sister. Different personality, different treatment." That was true.
It wasn't favoritism-just the way it had always been.
One was soft, sheltered, raised with care.
The other was wild, left to grow on her own.
Back in Falvaria- Stella had slept soundly all night. When she woke in the morning, to her surprise, Abraham was still there.
Back in Rivermount, she'd wake up alone most days-he was always gone by then.
She rolled over and snuggled into his arms.
Abraham looked down. "You're up?" Stella buried her head deeper into his chest and grumbled. "I'm hungry." She'd woken up from hunger.
Abraham glanced at the watch on the nightstand. It was past nine.
Smiling indulgently, he said. "Then let's get up and eat." He got up first.
Stella followed, watching as he went to the wardrobe and pulled out se comfortable loungewear for her. "I can dress myself." Stella instinctively reached out to take the clothes.
But Abraham dodged her hand. "Mother said last night I should take good care of you." Stella blinked. "Huh? It's just clothes. What's there to take care of?" She didn't need help with anything at home-what more was there to manage? 23 Chapter 513 One Punch, One Threat, One Storm Abraham chuckled and reached to unbutton her sleepwear.
Stella froze.
Her hand shot out to grab his wrist. Abraham raised an eyebrow. "Hm?" "I-I can do it myself." Her face flushed.
He playfully pinched her nos "Alright. You do it." He handed her the clothes and didn't tease her further.
Relieved. Stella finally exhaled.
After all this time, she'd cto understand- This calm, serious man? His self-control was actually pretty terrible.........
Once she was dressed, she stepped into the bathroom-Abraham had already squeezed toothpaste onto her brush.
Standing beside him, she saw their reflections in the mirror she barely reached his shoulder. Send Gifts
