The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 625 Don't Tell Marie Anything Abraham set his coffee cup down with a faint smile and said nothing.

Derrick huffed. "Hmph. You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Truth was, the moment Marie showed up ready to settle the score, Abraham had probably figured everything out. But why hadn't he said anything? Abraham laced his fingers together. "Speople need to take responsibility for their own actions." 45% +8 Pearls If Marie had the ability to take matters into her own hands, then as her brother, there was no need for him to step in.

Whether her reasons sounded reasonable-or whether they made any sense at all- Speople just weren't worth reasoning with.

In Abraham's view, Marie's approach was perfect.

Derrick was stunned.

Abraham's words made his heart skip a beat.

Abraham gave him another sidelong look. "Seriously though, why did you run? Were you afraid Marie would slice you up?" "I didn't run!" Derrick snapped.

The constant questioning, asking why he ran and what he was thinking, was pushing him to the edge.

Sebastian had embarrassed him beyond repair this time.

Abraham raised a brow.

Derrick couldn't stand the look in his eyes. "It was Sebastian. He's the one who draggedout of there." The more he talked, the angrier he got.

Honestly, when he'd woken up that morning and seen Marie, he'd been completely dumbfounded.

She was a woman he'd never even considered-not even in his wildest dreams.

In fact, Marie had never even registered as a woman to him. And somehow, with zero expectations, they'd ended up in bed.

How could anyone not be completely rattled by that? Someone who'd been like a bro to him his whole life had suddenly bechis woman. Anyone would've lost it.

Abraham still didn't say a word, which only made Derrick more irritable.

"For the record, Ashley and Drax were there too," Derrick muttered.

Now Abraham was starting to get the picture.

Sebastian couldn't have pulled this off alone.

Pearis Abraham replied coolly, "Tampering with the hotel's security footage and check-in records-was that their doing?" When he realized the man from the night before had been Derrick, Abraham had immediately wondered. Derrick wasn't the type to panic and pull a stunt like that. But Sebastian? That made more sense.

He might've been from the Tom family, but he lacked even a drop of their backbone.

Derrick said nothing.

"If Marie ever finds out," Abraham went on, "they're all as good as dead." How dead? That was hard to say. Derrick was stunned.

Abraham added casually, "Including you." Derrick's face darkened even more.

"So, my advice? Don't admit anything to her-at least not for now." Even Abraham couldn't help but chuckle as he said it.

Especially with the way Derrick looked-like he'd just swallowed poison.

His face was black as coal. “What do you takefor?" Seeing the smug grin on Abraham's face made Derrick want to explode.

He felt there was no point continuing the conversation; if he stuck around, he really would have a stroke.

Compared to Derrick's frustration, Dan wasn't doing much better at the hospital-he was already half delirious with rage.

Dennis told him, "Ms. Dawson was a little too emotional yesterday... Ms. Ella's leg got injured. Sir, you were far too harsh with her." He thought back to the way Ella looked when she left the room-so dejected.

Dennis couldn't help but bring it up.

Lately, no one around Dan supported the idea of Marie. They all thought O she lacked even the basic grace of a woman! If she really ended up with Dan, her temper alone would bring him nothing but harm. Ms. Ella, on the other hand, she was perfect. Her family fully backed Dan's position within the Ashen Pact.

Mentioning Marie and Ella together only sent Dan's blood pressure skyrocketing again; he nearly passed out on the spot.

"Get out," he said darkly.

Dennis had more to say but didn't dare push it. He nodded and left immediately.

13.14 F, 29 Aug Chapter 625 Don't Tell Marie Anything ++8 Pearls Once Dan was alone, he yanked out his phone and called Marie. This time, she actually picked up.

Her voice cthrough the line, mixed with the sound of wind. "Hello?" "Where are you?" Dan's voice was tight with anger.

Dan pondered. Damn woman, where the heck did she run off to now? After beatinglike that, she didn't think she owedat least skind of explanation? "You think you can tellwhat to do?" Maric replied.

Dan gritted his teeth. "Did you beat Derrick to a pulp yet?" There was fire in his voice.

If Derrick had not been beaten within an inch of his life, Dan would be seriously, pissed. Why was the one who got the heck beaten out ofwhen I didn't do anything? That bastard Derrick... Once Dan got out of the hospital, he'd be settling that score himself.

But he hoped Marie had already laid the groundwork by smashing Derrick up good. That way, when it was his turn, that bastard wouldn't even be able to lift a finger to fight back. Marie's voice cthrough, calm as ever. "Why would I beat him?" ☐ 4.7K
