Chapter 625 Don’t Tell Marie Anything
Abraham set his coffee cup down with a faint smile and said nothing.
Derrick huffed. “Hmph. You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
Truth was, the moment Marie showed up ready to settle the score, Abraham had probably figured everything out. But why hadn’t he said anything?
Abraham laced his fingers together. “Some people need to take responsibility for their own actions.”
If Maric had the ability to take matters into her own hands, then as her brother, there was no need for him to step in.
Whether her reasons sounded reasonable–or whether they made any sense at all-
Some people just weren’t worth reasoning with.
In Abraham’s view, Marie’s approach was perfect.
Derrick was stunned.
Abraham’s words made his heart skip a beat.
Abraham gave him another sidelong look. “Seriously though, why did you run? Were you afraid Marie would slice you up?”
“I didn’t run!” Derrick snapped.
The constant questioning, asking why he ran and what he was thinking, was pushing him to the edge.
Sebastian had embarrassed him beyond repair this time.
Abraham raised a brow.
Derrick couldn’t stand the look in his eyes. “It was Sebastian. He’s the one who dragged me out of there.”
The more he talked, the angrier he got.
Honestly, when he’d woken up that morning and seen Marie, he’d been completely dumbfounded.
She was a woman he’d never even considered–not even in his wildest dreams.
In fact, Marie had never even registered as a woman to him. And somehow, with zero expectations, they’d ended up in bed.
How could anyone not be completely rattled by that? Someone who’d been like a bro to him his whole life had suddenly become his woman. Anyone would’ve lost it.
Abraham still didn’t say a word, which only made Derrick more irritable.
“For the record, Ashley and Drax were there too,” Derrick muttered.
Now Abraham was starting to get the picture.
Sebastian couldn’t have pulled this off alone.
“So the three of them were involved?”
“Involved in what?” Derrick asked.
Abraham replied coolly, “Tampering with the hotel’s security footage and check–in records–was that their doing?”
When he realized the man from the night before had been Derrick, Abraham had immediately wondered.
Derrick wasn’t the type to panic and pull a stunt like that. But Sebastian? That made more sense.
How dead? That was hard to say. Derrick was stunned.
He felt there was no point continuing the conversation; if he stuck around, he really would have a stroke.
Ms. Ella, on the other hand, she was perfect. Her family fully backed Dan’s position within the Ashen Pact,
Mentioning Marie and Ella together only sent Dan’s blood pressure skyrocketing again; he nearly passed out on the spot.
“Get out,” he said darkly.
Dennis had more to say but didn’t dare push it. He nodded and left immediately.
Once Dan was alone, he yanked out his phone and called Marie. This time, she actually picked up.
Her voice came through the line, mixed with the sound of wind. “Hello?”
“Where are you?” Dan’s voice was tight with anger.
Dan pondered. Damn woman, where the heck did she run off to now? After beating me like that, she didn’t think she owed me at least some kind of explanation?
“You think you can tell me what to do?” Marie replied.
Dan gritted his teeth. “Did you beat Derrick to a pulp yet?”
There was fire in his voice.
If Derrick had not been beaten within an inch of his life, Dan would be seriously pissed. Why was I the one who got the heck beaten out of me when I didn’t do anything? That bastard Derrick…
Once Dan got out of the hospital, he’d be settling that score himself.
But he hoped Marie had already laid the groundwork by smashing Derrick up good. That way, when it was his turn, that bastard wouldn’t even be able to lift a finger to fight back.
Marie’s voice came through, calm as ever. “Why would I beat him?”

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....
