The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 979

Chapter 979 The Fine and Coarse Grain

Derrick: “She’s in charge of the money. If you need funds, ask her directly.”

Ask Marie?

Given Marie’s attitude toward Mona, forget the previously promised fifty thousand.

Finished

Now, if Mona wanted to spend even a single dime, Marie would scrutinize it from every angle, demanding to know exactly where the money was going.

Derrick left right after dropping that line.

He left Mona behind, fuming and stamping her feet.

Meanwhile, with Marie.

Just as Derrick had said, Stella’s bed was very, very crowded tonight. Tessa and Rianne had both arrived.

She and Rianne had arrived one right after the other.

When Rianne came in, she heard Stella and Tessa roasting Eddie for his medical skills.

Rianne immediately joined the conversation.

She laughed as she listened to Stella recounting Eddie’s embarrassing blunders.

Stella: “Forget him suspecting me of stomach cancer. Derrick suspected my sister had nervous gastritis, claiming it was caused by too much stress. He even found a psychiatrist and had the patient brought in.”

When it came to pregnancy–related paranoia, all of their suspicions had been pretty ridiculous.

Tessa: “Hahaha, so stupid. Really, so stupid. Such a quack. He’s such a quack, so how does anyone call him a genius? And Derrick, too. He usually seems so sharp.”

He had been completely victorious when fighting Dale in the Ashen Pact.

How could he make such a low–level mistake regarding Marie’s pregnancy?

Tessa turned to Rianne. “Rianne, you’re working with him every day now. Be careful. Don’t let him infect you. Stupidity really is contagious.”

Like when Victor said the baby in her belly was a tumor

She had actually started to suspect it right along with him….

Rianne smiled. “I think he’s quite cute.”

Tessa: “…”

Stella: “…”

Hearing Rianne’s words, two sets of eyes instantly locked onto her.

Rianne: “Why are you two looking at me like that?”

Tessa: “You are not acting right.”

Stella also nodded. “Way too wrong.”

Rianne: “…”

They were just talking about a person’s good and bad points. She had only stated what she felt. How was that “not right“?

Tessa leaned closer to Rianne. “Rianne, you don’t think Dr. Eddie is stupid… you think he’s cute?”

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

“Yes, a huge problem. Only when you like someone do you see their flaws as virtues.

Tessa said this with a completely serious face.

Rianne: “…”

The second Tessa said that.

Stella immediately looked at Rianne, and Tessa also watched Rianne intently, waiting for an answer.

Rianne tensed up under their combined gaze.

“What are you two doing?”

What was with these looks?

Stella asked Tessa, “What kind of problem do you think it is?”

Tessa: “She likes him.”

Stella, Rianne: “…”

When Tessa’s “She likes him” came out, Stella immediately stared at Rianne.

Rianne shuddered under her gaze. “No, wait. What… what are you thinking?”

How did this turn into liking?

How long had she even known Eddie?

Stella: “You think Eddie is… cute???”

Cute. This was the first time she had ever heard someone describe Eddie that way. The most common description she heard was that Eddie was long–winded.

And yet, Rianne thought this quality was cute.

Seeing Stella and Tessa staring at her like this, Rianne felt a creeping sense of unease.

“Don’t look

at me like that,”

Tessa: “Tsk, it’s fine. If you like him, you like him.”
