Chapter 997 A Change of Heart
Sebastian was genuinely worried that Derrick had been beaten!
He knew Derrick had only taken Caleb with him.
But when they arrived…
Sebastian: “Whoa… this scene is seriously intense, right?”
Marie: “…”
Hearing this, Marie looked at the scene before her, then back at Sebastian.
It was definitely intense.
But…
When Dan looked at her, his face bruised and swollen, Marie: “…”

At that moment, she was certain there must have been a huge misunderstanding about Sebastian’s claim that Derrick had been beaten.
Because Derrick’s face was completely unmarked.
Seeing Marie, Derrick’s eyes darkened: “Why are you here?”
Marie: “Sebastian said you were beaten, and I was worried about you.”
When Derrick heard that, his expression first froze, and then he broke into a sweet, wide smile.
As for Dan, his face was already bruised purple from the fight. Hearing Marie’s words made his expression darken even further.
“Damn it, are people in Falvaria brain damaged or something? Can’t they tell the difference between being hit and hitting someone else?”
He was furious.
He was the one who was beaten, yet Marie rushed over, worried that Derrick was the one
10 got hit.
Dan glared fiercely at Marie: “You know what kind of person he is! And you actually worried about me hitting him!”
Marie said nothing, merely glancing at Dan.
That single glance made Dan even angrier.
“You, come here!”
He gritted his teeth.
And that command, “You, come here.” made Derrick look at him with even more danger in his eyes.

Marie: “Alright, let’s go.”
Finished
Sensing the tension radiating from Derrick, Marie figured if they didn’t leave, a fight would break out again.
Derrick: “You were worried about him?”
Marie: “Huh? I…”
“He faked his death and deceived you, knew you almost went crazy, and nev you still saw him alone?”
Marie: “I–I didn’t…”
“Tell me, do you heal the scar and forget the pain? This is driving me mad!”
Derrick angrily turned to leave, not giving Marie a chance to finish her sentence. The notoriously spoiled and arrogant man was genuinely upset now.
Marie: “…”
Wait, he’s…
Dan was also angry: “Look how badly he beat me! You owe me compensation!”
He was angry too. He was hit by Marie before, and now he was hit by Derrick.
Marie: “…”
Sebastian, standing behind Marie, saw Dan demanding compensation from her.
oking for you, yet
He quickly interjected: “Look, he’s upset and hard to appease. You should hurry and go after him.”
Marie’s mouth twitched: “Me? Go after him?”
“Definitely you. You need to go quickly.”
“You’re the one who made him angry, so you’re the one who has to appease him.”
Sebastian kept talking, giving Marie no time to react.
Yet, what he was saying sounded logical: “Right, I made him angry, so I have to appease him.”
Dan: “Wait? A man gets angry and needs a woman to appease him?”
Hearing that Marie was going to appease Derrick made Dan even more enraged. He wasn’t having it.
Marie: “…”
Sebastian: “He’s her husband. She should appease him.”

Dan: “…”
That phrase, ‘He’s her husband,’ instantly pushed Dan to the brink.
Maric thought for a moment: “He’s my husband, I should appease him.”
Derrick had been quite jealous lately, even getting possessive over Stella.
Finished
After Dan’s stunt, if she didn’t appease Derrick now, there was no telling later.
