Marie said, “If his forces aren’t small, then Tessa and Victor will have to rush bac tomorrow.”

r Stella’s wedding

Derrick: “This Manny is the most troublesome.”

As for the conflict between Diana and Dale, Diana was certain to win. There was no need to worry. The fact that Artemis and the three children weren’t Dale’s was the final blow; it had completely crushed his arrogance.

Marie: “I really underestimated this Manny. I actually thought he was a useless fool.”

Derrick: “…”

In a place like Redwood, you couldn’t underestimate anyone. Dan hated Manny so much, yet Manny had survived all these years. That proved he was not as simple as he appeared.

After dinner, Derrick was going to take Marie back to the Tom family estate, but Marie said, “I’m not staying at the Tom estate tonight.”

“Why not?”

“Stella’s getting married tomorrow. I’m going to sleep with Stella tonight.”

Derrick: “…”

It was bad enough she brought up Stella, but now she wanted to sleep with her. Derrick’s face was visibly sour with jealousy.

Marie: “Why are you making that face?”

Derrick: “Do you really think there will be room for you in her bed?”

Marie: “…”

“Will her brother allow it?” Derrick scoffed.

In his opinion, Abraham’s possessiveness was extremely strong. There was no way

Marie in.

“They’re getting married tomorrow! She’ll be his forever after that. Besides, how long has it been since I slept with Stella? Even when we were little, I barely got the chance.”

Speaking of Abraham, Marie felt he was unbelievably tyrannical. Stella had slept with him since they were young. If you thought about it, she really was the “bride he had raised, watched over, and grown up with. They were inseparable. Their bond was on a level that no ordinary childhood sweethearts could compare

1. to.

Derrick: “How long it’s been is irrelevant.”

Marie: “Hey! Watch your mouth. I am sleeping with Stella tonight.”

Marie was fired up. It had been a long time since she’d had a sleepover with Stella. Ever since Abraham brought her back, he had monopolized her, not giving Marie any chance to get near her “little star.”

“Tessa and Rianne are both there tonight. The bed will be too crowded.”

Marie: “…”

Tessa and Rianne…

Marie: “Then I definitely have to sleep with Stella tonight.”

Derrick didn’t say any more. Fine. He’d take her to the Dawson estate.

He understood. If she didn’t get to sleep with Stella on this last night, she would throw a fit about it forever.

Marie promptly left for the Dawson estate.

Meanwhile, at the Tom family home, Mona was waiting for Marie to return. She waited all evening, but only Derrick came back.

Seeing Derrick, Mona hurried over. “Where’s Marie? Didn’t she come back with you?”

Her daytime arrogance was gone.

Not seeing Marie all day, coupled with Reese’s urgent need for money, had made Mona realize exactly who was in control of the Tom family now.

Derrick: “She’s not coming back tonight. Why?”

When Mona heard Marie wasn’t returning, she panicked.

That Reese. She had no idea how to be frugal with the money she was given. Now, thanks to Marie, all of Mona’s cards were frozen, even the ones in her own name. Marie had used “financial disputes” as an excuse to lock everything.

In other words, if she wanted to spend even a single cent, she needed Marie’s approval.

Ever since she had gotten with Holt, she had never imagined she could be this humiliated. But now, she was experiencing it.

Mona said hesitantly, “I… I need some money right now. Could you help me wit

How arrogant had she been toward Derrick before? Now all that arrogance was gone.

The moment Derrick heard it was about money, he knew Marie’s handling of Mona had been perfectly effective.
