I never meant to make you look bad, it's just that I got drunk the night before last. Maybe nothing even happened between us." Marie's voice grew a little frantic; that last sentence cout weak and uncertain.
Because, honestly, something definitely had happened. The blood on the sheets had been intense, and her legs were still sore. What the actual heck...
This whole situation was a complete mess.
"You worried I'll kill him?" Derrick's tone took on a noticeable chill.
Marie was stunned. Worried? "No, no, not at all! That guy's nothing! Why would I worry about him? I just think, you're my husband; getting into it with sloser like that isn't worth it, you know?" Worried? That wasn't it at all. She just happened to be the kind of person who liked handling her own revenge.
"Trust me, it's really not what you think," Marie added quickly.
"Where are you right now?" Derrick asked.
"Yalvoria." "You went that far?" "Evie stole a ton of stuff from me-you know that. I finally tracked her down; I had to get my things back." Just mentioning Evie made Marie furious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat thief had been stealing from her since they were kids. The stuff she took out in the open was one thing, but who knew how much she'd snatched in secret? Seriously, what did I owe that skank in a past life for her to mess withlike this in this one? "Were you avoiding me?" Derrick asked.
"No! I mean, con, you know exactly what kind of marriage we have. This doesn't count as cheating, right?" She felt slightly guilty; even her tone lacked conviction.
Derrick let out a dry chuckle. "True/it doesn't." His words carried an odd weight.
But Marie, too distracted to catch the nuance, didn't notice Then Derrick said something that completely threw her.
"Huh? What did you say?" Marie asked.
Chapter 627 I'd Rather Die Than Divorce "I was the one from the night before last." Marie was stunned. What now? Her already scrambled brain just... short-circuited.
45% 8 Pearls "That whole scene yesterday was big enough-maybe it's tfor the fire to burn out," Derrick said calmly.
Sebastian had told him to let Dan take the brunt of her fury first; give her space to let it all out.
With the way she'd exploded yesterday, her anger had to be mostly spent by now.
Marie swallowed hard. "Wait-what did you just say?" Maybe she'd misheard. The airport was crowded and loud; maybe she caught it wrong? "I said, it wasthe night before last. Did you hearthat time?" Derrick repeated. "Stop going around trying to settle scores, okay?" Marie was stunned.
The air on the other end of the phone went completely silent.
She felt like the whole world had gone quiet; her mind was spinning in loops. Derrick just said... it was him? No way.
"You... you wouldn't dare," she said, uncertain.
Extremely uncertain.
Derrick's voice deepened. "What do you think?" Marie was stunned.
What do I think? He wouldn't... right? She took a few deep breaths. "Look, you don't have to do this." Derrick sounded confused.
"Dan's a piece of crap; beating him to death wouldn't be overkill. You don't have to cover for him."
Maybe Derrick was just taking the fall so she wouldn't lose it and go after ut Dan. But that didn't track. He never seemed like the kind of guy who'd bother with something like that. Derrick went quiet.
Marie sighed. "I'm done talking. Once I get my stuff back from Evie, I'll chand help you get revenge." She figured it was the least she could do.
Before Derrick could respond, she hung up. Everything's a mess, total chaos, can't keep this up or my brain's gonna give out. The call was finally over, but Marie stood frozen in place.

The moment the call connected, Marie made sure to confirm first. "Julia?” "Yeah?" After what just happened, she wasn't about to blurt out something to the wrong person again. She needed to double-check.
Once she heard Julia's voice, Marie finally said, "Derrick just called and toldhe was the one that night." Julia was stunned. What the heck was that supposed to mean? "Do you believe it?" Marie asked.
Because honestly... she didn't..
Derrick had pretty high standards. And when it cto his type it m definitely wasn't her. Not that he had great taste or anything-but still, it sure wasn't her, a stunning beauty. Julia didn't even hesitate. “No way. What's wrong with him, trying to hook up with you?" 4.7K
