PopularNovelChapter 626 Just Wait Till I'm Back "He's the one who slept with you, why aren't you beating him up?" +8 Pearls The moment Marie asked that, Dan nearly exploded with rage; his jaw clenched so tight he looked like he might shatter his teeth.
"Dan, are you out of your damn mind?" Marie snapped. "You're just throwing out accusations now? You needto knock ssense into your skull again? Are you even a man?" "You don't believe me?" Dan ground out the five words through gritted teeth. Even his breathing had turned unsteady.
"Why should I believe you?" Marie shot back. "You bastard, just wait till I get back-see what happens then." Dan was stunned.
Before he could respond, Marie hung up on him.
The dull silence of the dropped call lingered in Dan's ear, while his breathing turned increasingly unsteady.
His heart felt like it was about to explode from sheer fury.
"That damn woman-has Derrick drugged her or something?" Dan pondered. What gave her the right to trust Derrick so much? Just because they had a marriage certificate now? That automatically made him family? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
Then, he blacked out again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA sharp noise broke the silence in the hospital room, prompting Dennis to rush to the window to check.
Through the glass, he saw Dan collapse straight to the floor.
"Doctor! Doctor, hurry-he fainted again!" Dennis shouted in a panic.
From yesterday until now, Dan had already passed out several times.
Once from Marie hitting him; three times from sheer rage.
Marie was practically a witch...
After leaving the Dawson residence, Derrick leaned against his car and smoked two cigarettes before pulling out his phone and dialing Marie.
The phone barely rang twice before she picked up.
Before Derrick could say a word, she launched into a tirade. "What the heck do you want? Dan, I'm warning you, stop dragging Derrick into this." "I've known him since we were kids; we practically grew up together. He's nothing like you, you shameless piece of trash." The more she said, the more furious she got, unleashing an avalanche of words through the phone.

+8 Pearls "You won't even own up to what you did, and now you're running off like a coward. What does that make you, huh? You're trying to pin everything on Derrick just to push us toward a divorce, right? Well, guess what-that's not happening. I'm with him for life. I'd rather die than leave him." Derrick was stunned. Die before divorcing me? Marie didn't give him a chance to get a word in. She barreled on, "I know Derrick. Forget whether we're into each other-he wouldn't dare." "Even if I stood naked in front of him, I doubt he'd lay a finger on me. And you think you can cbetween us?" Her voice was practically on fire as she tore into Dan.
Every word was dripping with disbelief and contempt, not only accusing him of being a petty, gossiping schemer, but outright ridiculing him.
And at the stime, she was questioning Derrick's manhood.
Especially that line "he wouldn't dare," which lit a fire under Derrick.
Just as Marie was gearing up to keep railing against Dan, Derrick finally spoke.
"I wouldn't dare?" Marie was stunned. Wait... what? At that moment, Marie had just landed at Yalvoria International Airport. Hearing Derrick's voice, she quickly checked her phone screen-and sure enough, it was Derrick's number.
"What the heck, it's you? Is the Tom family in trouble again? Look, I really think you shouldn't rush it. I get that you want revenge on them, but I just brought back a huge sum of money. If I try to collect now, I won't get much of anything." She had always been clear-eyed about her so-called marriage to Derrick.
It was obvious to her, he was using her to get back at the Tom family.
And really, with her temper, she was the perfect weapon against them.
Still, she couldn't help feeling a little sheepish-Derrick had heard every word of the rant she'd just unloaded on Dan.
After all, Derrick was technically her husband.
Last night, she'd used the excuse of chasing Evie down to justify flying. overseas; in truth, she'd been trying to avoid facing him. This whole mess wasn't exactly easy to explain.
"Marie," Derrick said.
His voice was soft.
Chapter 626 Just Wait Till I'm Back And for sreason, hearing that tone-maybe it was the guilt-made Marie swallow nervously, "I, uh..." + Pearis
Damn it. She'd spent her whole life fearless, never backing down from anyone yet now, facing Derrick, she actually felt a little guilty. Dan, that bastard. She was going to deal with him the second she got back.
Derrick was still her husband in name, and she swore on all that was good and be ally to betray him while their marriage she'd never intended was still legally binding. Sure, the two of them were never going to be a real couple; divorce was inevitable.
But she still had her bottom line, she would never cheat during her marriage.
