Chapter 641 She Really Believes Him?
Wait, what…
He actually went through with it?
He seriously wasn’t worried at all that his sister might kill him?
Dan was the warning sign here–he was still lying in the ICU. And Ella got beaten up too.
So in Derrick’s case, Marie would probably beat him even worse, wouldn’t she?
“What did your sister say about it?”
Abraham didn’t answer. Instead, he asked back.
If Derrick dared to talk like that in front of him, then he’d definitely confess the same to Marie.
Just thinking about Derrick doing something like that made the smile on Abraham’s lips deepen.
Anyone who knew Derrick probably never imagined he’d pull something like this..
Speaking of Marie, Stella said, “She doesn’t believe it at all.”
But oddly enough, she had a much stronger reaction to the fact that Dan was the one running the Ashen Pact.
She even said she was coming back to kill him…
Right now, Marie’s hatred for Dan had reached its peak, completely overshadowing her disbelief in Derrick’s nerve.
She was dead set on the idea that Derrick was taking the fall for someone else–that there was no way he’d dare cross her.
Abraham said, “Hm?”
“I–I don’t believe it either.”
To be honest, when Stella first heard what Derrick had said to Abraham, her first reaction was total disbelief.
She couldn’t believe Derrick would actually go through with it–and Marie definitely wouldn’t believe it either.
“It really… it was really him?”
Abraham replied, “He admitted it himself. You think he’s lying?”
“She still thinks Derrick’s covering for Dan. So if that’s true, does that mean there’s something shady going on between the two of them?”
She couldn’t figure out why Derrick would take the blame for Dan.
Bottom line–if Derrick really was the one behind it, then nobody believed it right now.
Abraham asked, “You think he’d take the blame?”
Whether or not there was something shady going on didn’t matter–Derrick just wasn’t the type to take the fall for someone else.
Stella agreed. “Doesn’t seem like him at all.”
So this whole situation… really was getting hard to wrap their heads around.
Stella still didn’t get why Marie thought Derrick was covering for Dan.
Abraham said, “Forget them. Go to sleep.”
Stella replied, “Okay.”
Not like they could do anything anyway.
Abraham gently rubbed the back of Stella’s head, recalling what she’d just said.
Marie thought Derrick was taking the fall for Dan?
“Wait, let me listen first.”
They were already two or three rooms away from Dan’s.
Tessa wriggled out of Victor’s arms and tiptoed back to Dan’s room, pressing her little red face–flushed from the fever–against the door and listening carefully.
Her eyes sparkled with focus and energy.
Victor went silent.
Lewis and Silas, who had come along, also fell silent. Their lips twitched uncontrollably.
Lewis leaned toward Victor and whispered, “Victor, is Ms. Tessa… eavesdropping? Isn’t that, like, wrong?”
Silas shot him a glare.
Then immediately clamped a hand over Lewis’s mouth and dragged him two or three steps away from Victor.
You dumbass. Big bro didn’t say anything–why are you running your mouth?
Tessa pressed her ear right up to the door, listening with all the caution of a pro.
Things inside were getting intense.
Dennis said gently, “Ms. Marie is in Yalvoria right now, probably doesn’t have time.”
What the hell had he done to deserve this?
And what the hell kind of mess was his boss getting into this time?
Hearing that, Dan got even angrier. “No time to hit Derrick, but time to hit me?”
“Look how hard she hit me. And the rest of them too.”
