The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601 Wrong Target

Sebastian handed Derrick the phone. “Take a look.”

Sebastian’s face was ashen after watching the video.

Derrick shot him a cold glance and took the phone from his hand.

He tapped the screen.

Finished

The surveillance footage showed complete chaos. The private room looked like a warzone–tables and doors were flipped everywhere.

More than twenty people were beating the hell out of a few unlucky ones in that cramped space.

And Marie was right in the middle of it…

Those guys didn’t even have a chance to fight back. Especially when Marie slapped Morris–brutally, over and over.

Even through the screen, Derrick could feel how hard she was going. She wasn’t just trying to hurt him— she was trying to destroy him.

And it wasn’t just Morris. The people with him got dragged into it too…

Sebastian flinched at the sounds coming from the footage. “Man, good thing we ran.”

Ashley and Drax hadn’t seen the video, but judging from the noise and Sebastian’s comment, they could pretty much guess what had happened.

Knowing Marie’s temper, there was no way she would’ve let anyone involved walk away unscathed.

And judging by that scene, everyone in that room probably barely made it out in one piece.

Sebastian muttered, “How the hell did she mistake him for Morris?”

Derrick stayed silent.

“She was head over heels for the guy. And still, she beat the crap out of him like that. If it had been you, she probably would’ve finished the job.”

Sebastian shuddered.

Despite everything, Morris was someone Marie had genuinely cared about. And she still went off on him without holding back.

If it had been Derrick, she might’ve killed him on the spot.

Something must’ve struck a nerve, because Derrick suddenly tossed the phone onto the coffee table with a loud thud.

No doubt about it–he was pissed.

Sebastian pursed his lips. The phone buzzed on the table, and he quickly answered it. “Talk.”

“Sebastian, Morris and the guys who were playing cards with him–they’ve all been rushed into the ER.”

Sebastian’s jaw dropped. The ER? Holy crap…

He already knew Marie hadn’t held back, but getting sent to the ER? That was next level.

Which meant… the ICU was probably next.

She beat them straight into the ICU. How furious was she about what happened last night?

Sebastian swallowed hard. “Keep eyes on Marie. Don’t let her see you.”

“Got it.”

He ended the call and turned to Derrick. “Marie just sent Morris straight into the ICU.”

Drax and Ashley went quiet.

If they hadn’t gotten out of there in time, they would’ve been the ones headed to the hospital now.

Drax asked, “All of them?”

Sebastian nodded. “All of them.”

Ashley and Drax were dead silent. Getting beaten that badly? Marie’s temper was no joke.

And honestly, Morris got screwed over hard.

He hadn’t even done anything, but he took the fall anyway. Totally ridiculous.

Derrick’s expression was unreadable. He pulled out his phone and started dialing Marie.

Sebastian caught a glimpse of the name on screen and immediately snatched it away from him.

“What are you doing? Are you seriously trying to get us all killed?” Sebastian panicked.

They hadn’t seen the video earlier, so they didn’t really grasp how brutal Marie’s revenge had been.

But now? Now there was no way they’d dare admit anything.

“Sebastian, someone’s going to die if this keeps going.” Derrick gave him a cold stare, lips pressed into a tight line, saying nothing more.

Sebastian looked like he was about to cry. “It’s too late to explain now. Trying to clear things up would only make it worse.”

They were all realizing it now–running away was one thing. But why had they dragged Derrick along?

Getting him involved had only made things worse. They could’ve just saved themselves and let him deal with it.

Yeah, thinking about it now–it really was a dumb move. But in the moment, they’d all panicked. Nobody was thinking straight.

Drax rubbed his hands together. “Hey Derrick, I mean, everything’s already out there. Morris took the fall. Just let him take the heat for it.”

Sebastian nodded. “Exactly. Let him take the fall. And didn’t you hear what Marie said at the end of the video? ‘If I see him again, I’ll hit him again.‘ After this, Morris won’t even think about going near her.”

She’d already sent him to the ER once. If it happened again, would Morris even survive?

Unless he had a death wish, he’d stay the hell away from her from now on.

And that meant–for them–this whole mess might actually be over.

Sebastian was feeling pretty good about it.

He didn’t stop to consider whether Morris, after getting beat up so badly and for no reason, would actually let it go.

More importantly, judging from how Morris had been acting lately, it didn’t look like he’d moved on from Marie at all.

So really, this wasn’t over–not even close.

Meanwhile, Stella and Abraham were reviewing the wedding venue. The planner jotted down their feedback on some of the details.
