Chapter 324 A Stakes Are Raised
The next second, Derrick grabbed the phone out of her hand.
It was a video call from Abraham,
Derrick glanced at Stella, then tapped to answer. He brought his face up to the camera.
“Abraham.”
There was a brief silence on the other end.
Then Abraham’s gaze turned cold. “Where is Star?”

A moment later. Derrick turned the camera to show Stella and pressed the barrel of his gun to her forehead.
Stella instinctively raised her hand to push it away, but Derrick gave her a warning look.
When Abraham saw the image on the screen—Stella soaking wet and looking utterly miserable—the atmosphere around the call instantly turned dangerous.
“What did you do to her?”
His voice dripped with menace.
Derrick let out a slight chuckle. “Abraham, I want what’s mine.”
“Fine.”
Stella was stunned.
Derrick was equally surprised. That easy?
So this girl really meant a lot to Abraham now.
His eyes fell on the marks on her neck.
His voice grew colder. “When?”
“With Bernie. Haven’t you heard?” Abraham said.
Stella blinked. Does Bernie have it? Wasn’t that what Lancelot stole from Abraham?
How did it end up with Derrick?
Is that what he’s been after all this time?
She couldn’t help but be curious.

As he spoke. he tapped his muzzle against her head again.
Abraham’s voice dropped dangerously. ‘Get that thing off her head. This is the last time I’m going
to tell you
“Abraham, it seems you haven’t realized yet, you’re no longer in control of this hunt.”
Derrick said it casually, like a man who thought he held all the cards.
“Is that so?”
Abraham’s camera flipped, too.
And there was Sebastian, screaming for help.
“Derrick, save me, please!!
Derrick froze. That useless idiot.
How did he get caught by Abraham so fast!
Then Eddie’s familiar voice came over the line.
“Mr. Derrick. Sebastian here is crying like a baby. I wonder if he can handle my experiments.
Derrick’s eyes narrowed in anger.
Then the once–begging Sebastian exploded in anger at the insult.
“You moron, who are you calling a baby?”
Moron? Was that mean to me?
Eddie didn’t get it. “You. I’m talking about you.”
As he said that, he raised the scalpel to Sebastian’s throat and looked at Derrick through the
screen.
“Mr. Derrick, how about I start the dissection from the carotid artery?”
Stella’s eyelid twitched.
The artery? That’s a kill shot…
Derrick radiated cold hostility. He sneered. “Do you all really think Sebastian means anything to
me?”
“Derrick, you….

Eddie replied. “Perfect. I’ll kill him right now.”

With that, his scalpel sliced into Sebastian’s neck.
“Aaagh!”

Sebastian screamed in pain and tried to grab the scalpel, but as he lunged, Eddie grabbed his wrist, and the two began to struggle.
At the same time. Stella lunged and bit down hard on Derrick’s wrist.
He let out a grunt. “Ugh… Stella, you bit me again!”
Chaos broke out on both ends of the call.
Eddie yelled, “You bastard, Sebastian! I’m going to kill you today!”
Derrick yelled. “You damn woman, let go of me!”
She had hit me earlier with a steel showerhead.
That blow has scrambled my brain, and now she is biting me again.
But Stella wouldn’t let go after all that effort.
Then a loud bang echoed through the phone. The other side fell silent.
Sebastian stared at Abraham, his pupils constricted, his leg bleeding.
For a moment he even forgot the pain.
Then he howled like a slaughtered pig.
Abraham looked back at Derrick. “Not important?”
Derrick’s face hardened. “Don’t hurt him.”
Abraham said, “Send Star back. You’ll get your stuff.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan)
Ch 489 Doesn’t this prove that Dan doesn’t actually have amnesia? Why would he go to the island with a strange woman and why would he steal from Derrick? He doesn’t know them....
Ch 488 I feel like this is going to be what Stella stole in his study in Pagenda or wherever his estate was....
Ch 485 I thought it was going to be the Reed family mine that she robbed, thus taking the Keenes product and leaving them in that situation....
Ch 483 o then, how did the Reeds fine her? How did they not know where she was from?...
Ch 477 Definitely hidden pedo in here, referring to tiny women as little girls in every way possible....
Ch 468 How could Stella inherit her adopted father’s weak stomach constitution?...
Ch 468 Abraham and Marie’s mother has been called Evelyn, Diane and Loretta.. which is it? Evelyn has been the most used....
Ch 465 She still doesn’t know the mistress is Lillian’s aunt?...
Ch 464 Why didn’t she kick her out herself be for she went to attack the mistress…...
Ch 463 This is stupid now. I understand being scared in his presence enough to not think straight, but she’s a lone more often than not and has plenty of time to think things through, especially if she has time to get gossip from Rivermount and report to Stella....
