The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 She’s My Wife Now, Buddy

Just as Derrick pulled out of the main road from the Dawson residence, his phone rang–it was an unfamiliar number.

He answered. “Hello?”

“It’s me.”

Dan’s voice came through the line, gritted with fury, like he wanted to tear through the screen and rip Derrick apart.

Despite the obvious rage, Dan’s voice was noticeably weak.

Derrick let out a mocking laugh. “Sounds like that girl didn’t hit you hard enough. Already awake?”

His men had reported that Dan had been unconscious in the hospital; yet here he was, awake in no time.

Dan nearly blew a gasket. “You bastard, Derrick. Be straight with me–was it you last night?”

“Was what me?”

You and Marie, getting the marriage certificate yesterday. You didn’t even have a damn wedding. Don’t tell me you spent the night with her!”

Just saying it made Dan’s emotions spiral out of control.

That damned woman Marie, she always seemed like she had a brain.

And yet she actually went for someone like Derrick? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Hearing Dan practically hyperventilate with rage, Derrick chuckled. “She’s my wife now. Sharing a bed seems perfectly legal -don’t you think?”

“So it really was you last night?”

Dan’s teeth ground audibly through the phone; his breathing grew more erratic.

“It was me,” Derrick said coolly. “So what?”

‘Derrick!”

Dan’s roar nearly shattered the signal.

Derrick’s tone didn’t waver. “The man with her last night was me–not you.”

He said it slowly, clearly.

But on the other end, Dan nearly passed out from fury.

“You screw Marie and disappear, and I take the beating for it? You bastard! You’re no you die with no grave to bury you in!”

Dan had never been this furious in his life.

Right now, he honestly wanted to rip Derrick’s head off.

-just wait, I swear I’ll make sure

But Derrick just laughed. “Whether I’m a man or not, Marie knows the answer to that.”

Dan went silent.

The line froze.

A few seconds later, panicked voices erupted from Dan’s side. “Sir? Sir! We told you–you can’t get emotional! Please calm

down!”

Dan growled through clenched teeth, “Get… out…”

The roar shattered the airwaves.

Then came the sound of Dennis yelling for help. “Doctor! Doctor, hurry! He’s fainted again!”

Derrick hung up.

A smug smile played at the corner of his lips.

Then, with venom, he muttered, “It would be better if he never wakes up again.”

In Derrick’s eyes, Dan should’ve died back then. That way, he would’ve stayed clean in Marie’s memory.

And now, he was just a living stain.

Meanwhile, at the Oarblade Hotel.

When Derrick arrived, he called Marie right away, but the call was declined after a single ring.

He dialed again–this time, her phone was switched off.

“This woman…”

What the heck?

Just as he pushed open the car door to get out, Sebastian called. “You cannot rat out us masterminds.”

He’d done his homework, the three other guys playing cards with Dan still hadn’t woken up.

Derrick replied, “Pathetic.”

“Yes, yes, we’re all pathetic. You’re the only one with guts. You’re a real man…”

To think Derrick had the nerve to go face Marie after what they did to Dan–he had to be a true man.

“Have you seen her yet?” Sebastian asked.

“No.”

“Well, once you do, make sure you cover for us.”

Such a cowardly tone.

Derrick ended the call, pissed.

That little bastard, after everything they went through together in Pagena, all the bloodshed, and this was who he turned out to be, still no trace of manhood in him.

Just as Derrick stepped into the hotel, Dan called again.

“Derrick, you’re not even human.”

“Who are you again?”

Derrick let out a short, sharp laugh, his tone biting.

Before Dan could speak, Derrick cut in with more sarcasm. “No sane person would ever fake their death.”

“I…”

Pan, some things can be forgiven with time–but what’s done is done. That pill… it was from Professor Hector, wasn’t it?”

Dan went quiet.

Dead silent on the line.

“You really didn’t know she went insane after you died?” Derrick asked.

The way he emphasized really didn’t know dripped with irony.

Finished

Back then, Marie had almost completely lost her mind. It was common knowledge in Falvaria. And Dan, there was no way he didn’t know.

Meanwhile, at Victor’s Villa, Tessa had a fever and had been driving Victor up the wall. It wasn’t until six in the evening that she finally woke up, groggy and dazed.

Victor stood by the window on the phone. Whatever the person on the other end said made him glance at his watch.

Then, in a cold voice, he said into the phone, “Everything’s confirmed.”
