The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598 Dead Man Playing Poker

Tessa quickly changed the subject–her mother was still her biggest concern.

Stella said, “I think you should just talk to Victor directly.”

“Huh?”

“If I go ask, he’ll end up making Victor look into it anyway.”

That…

Stella gave Tessa a look–she didn’t want to be too blunt, but still said it: “Honestly, maybe that’s for the best. I used to think you and Victor were from totally different worlds, but fate really is strange like that.”

Tessa’s world had fallen into chaos… and somehow, she ended up standing right beside Victor.

It was like he’d been sent from above–a knight meant to protect her. Right when everything was crashing down, being with Victor had become her safest haven.

Stella stayed a while longer, talking Tessa through it, helping her sort through her emotions.

This was her life now–she had to learn how to live it.

When Stella left Victor’s estate, it was already past 1 PM.

Her stomach was growling. “Seriously, Victor really only hires one cook? What’s that about?”

Just one kitchen staffer.

She felt guilty even asking for anything to eat.

Abraham held her close and fed her a few snacks. Stella happily munched away.

“Did you make things clear to Tessa?” he asked gently.

“Huh? About what?”

“That she should go to Victor from now on.”

So that’s what he meant?

Stella rolled her eyes. “She’s a girl, you know.”

Did this man really not know how to separate jealousy from common sense?

Abraham didn’t respond–he just handed her another snack.

Stella was starving. She reached out and grabbed the whole pack from his hand.

She glanced out the window and realized they weren’t heading home. “Where are we going?”

Finished

“To see the wedding venue,” Abraham said.

“…What?”

She blinked. Wedding venue?

Wasn’t that supposed to be a surprise revealed on the big day?

Abraham gently squeezed her hand. “You only get married once. I want you to love it.”

Warmth bloomed in her chest.

He was right. Surprises didn’t matter–she had to like it. Otherwise, it’d just turn into a shock.

Meanwhile, Marie had practically turned half of Falvaria’s capital upside down trying to find Dan.

Yesterday, he’d had the nerve to say he was going to watch her get divorced.

Today? He wouldn’t even pick up the phone.

She was already furious–and now she had to go track him down?

Of course she exploded.

At the club-

Marie marched straight to the private room with more than twenty bodyguards behind her.

From outside, she could hear the soft shuffle of poker cards.

Her face darkened even more.

This bastard caused that, and now he was just sitting around playing poker?

Did he really think that after sleeping with her, she’d go running off to divorce Derrick?

So he could kick back without a care?

Inside the room, a few men were chatting between hands.

“Hey, didn’t Ms. Marie used to chase after you like crazy? Why’d she suddenly marry that spoiled rich kid Derrick?”

“Yeah, man, maybe she’s still mad at you.”

Everyone in Dan’s circle always believed Marie only ever had eyes for him.

Dan said nothing.

Another chimed in, “Honestly, considering what you did back then, it’s no surprise she’s pissed.”

“You left her when she loved you most–she nearly lost her mind, man.”

Marie was already fuming over last night.

But hearing that-“what you did back then“?

Her last shred of sanity snapped.

What he did?

So this bastard really had faked his death?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

And now Dan was sitting there, playing poker, casually talking about how hard she’d fallen for him?

Marie hit her limit.

She lifted her leg and–kicked the door.

The wooden sliding door rattled loudly before crashing to the floor.

The lively private room-

Instant silence.

The cards stopped shuffling. The conversations froze. Everyone stared at the doorway in stunned silence.

Who the hell had the guts to knock the door off its tracks?

And then they saw her.

Marie, face livid with fury.

A collective gasp rippled through the room,

Everyone turned to look at Dan.

He was seated facing the door. When he saw Marie, a flicker of confusion passed through his eyes.

Before he could stand-

Marie raised a hand. “Hit him.”

Before anyone could react, the two dozen bodyguards behind her stormed into the room.
