The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 569

Chapter 569 The Two–Faced Scumbag

Finished

The moment Marie heard the words “death–feigning drug,” she was so furious she could’ve bitten someone.

That bastard…

“Of course he took it voluntarily. If he didn’t want to, who could’ve forced him to swallow it?”

That damn loser was such a two–faced scumbag.

Looking back now, there’s no doubt he had an agenda when he got close to her.

“Dirty little con artist.”

Just thinking about it made Marie furious, and her insults only got nastier.

When Abel heard her call Dan a “dirty little con artist,” his eyes lit up.

“Ahem.”

Now that was a creative insult.

Marie was so pissed she didn’t notice Abel’s awkward reaction.

And the more she cursed Dan, the more fired up she got. “How did I not see what a scheming little bastard he was back then? He put on such a convincing act–way slicker than any other two–faced dirtbag out there. Unbelievable. I actually let a pretentious piece of trash like him pull the wool over my eyes.”

Her fury only grew with every word.

Abel silently listened to her say things like “dirty little con artist,” “two–faced,” and “pretentious,” with nothing to add.

Lesson learned–if you’re a guy, your character better be solid. Otherwise, you’ll get dragged so hard they’ll forget you’re even a man.

Stella stepped out just in time to hear Marie cursing Dan.

Lately, if Marie had a spare moment, she was either cursing out Derrick or Dan.

As far as she was concerned, both of them were dogs.

When she saw Stella, Marie finally calmed down a bit. “Why are you alone? Where’s Abraham?”

“He had something to discuss privately with Mr. Bogden.”

Stella answered politely.

But as soon as Marie heard the word “discuss,” she grabbed Stella’s hand. “Let’s go find not standing here any longer.”

ce to sit. We’re

The food area was getting crowded, and Marie worried Stella might get jostled. She couldn’t afford anything happening to her right now.

She led Stella to the lounge and said, “Wait here. I’ll go get you something to eat.”

After all, they hadn’t let her eat anything at home lately.

Before Stella could respond, Marie had already turned and walked off. Stella sat on the couch and tuggi her coat a little tighter.

The room was warm enough, but ever since she got pregnant, she couldn’t help feeling cold.

She still had Abraham’s scarf wrapped around her neck–he’d taken it off and given it to her earlier.

A waiter came over and offered her a glass of water. Stella took it. “Thanks.”

“Would you like something to eat, miss? The food area is just over there.”

Stella replied, “No, thanks. My sister went to get something for me.”

“Of course.”

The waiter bowed slightly and walked away respectfully.

Left alone, Stella looked at the glass in her hand. After a second, she set it down without drinking and pulled out her phone.

Tessa had messaged her: “Stella, remember when I said I’d marry Victor and he didn’t even say yes? So why did I end up as the reward?”

“Don’t tell me he’s just after my body? Like, not even planning to take responsibility?”

Ugh…

That line of reasoning made her already–muddled brain even foggier.

To be honest, she had no idea what had gone on between Victor and Tessa while they were living together.

So when she saw that line-“just after my body“-Stella couldn’t help twitching at the corners of her mouth.

She replied: “I don’t think Victor’s just after your body.”

Tessa responded quickly: “Why not?”

Stella: “Don’t ask me. I don’t know.”

If she told the truth, she’d offend someone. But if she sugarcoated it, she didn’t know how to phrase it. Easier not to say anything.

Tessa: “So you’re saying I’ve got a bad body? Or I’m not pretty?”

Even when Stella stayed silent, Tessa just had to keep digging.

Stella rubbed her forehead, then typed: “Compared to the women Victor’s been with

re? Yeah.

See? That shut it down.

Just as Stella was about to type another message, she overheard voices nearby talking about her.

Woman A: “Hey, did you hear about the Dawson family’s adopted daughter and Abraham? Why would Mr Lorette approve of that? She practically raised her–calls her her daughter. And now she’s okay with her

being with her own son?”

Hearing them gossip about the Dawson family–and herself–Stella’s face darkened.

She suddenly remembered what Ethan had said on the phone. Besides the Dawson family, look how many people are criticizing you.

Not everyone can accept the kind of relationship you have with Abraham.

He was right…

Even in a place as open–minded as Falvaria, this kind of relationship wasn’t universally accepted.

Of course people would talk behind her back.

The two women sat down on a nearby sofa.

Woman B added, “If you ask me, forget adopted daughter–what if she’s actually Evelyn’s illegitimate child from some affair?”

Woman A: “What? No way…”
