The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 593

Chapter 593 Between Pride and Survival

If Derrick dared to go now and confess, he’d be scaling that domestic violence charge from the civil affairs office once and for all,

His breathing turned uneven as he looked at Sebastian.

Sebastian pressed his hands together. “I know this sucks for you.”

It really did.

He’d slept with his own wife, and now he was on the run like a criminal. What kind of twisted situation was this?

Derrick snapped, “You son of a bitch.”

“Huh?”

“You think this was something we could run from?”

He was visibly pissed.

The second Marie had started to wake up, these guys had grabbed him and bolted, leaving him no time to think.

Now that he was back and had a second to breathe, the more he replayed everything, the worse it felt.

This wasn’t something to run from.

If he’d stayed, Marie would’ve blown up, sure-but at least there would’ve been a chance to talk it out.

But he ran.

And that changed everything.

His face darkened by the second.

Sebastian blinked. “Wait, so now this is

How could they not run back then?

my fault?”

Derrick stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up, radiating cold fury. “I’m going to tell her the truth.”

“Wait-what?!”

Sebastian scrambled after him, phone buzzing in his hand. He picked it up while hurrying to block Derrick’s path.

As the call connected, his expression shifted at what he heard. “What? She’s going after Dan?!”

They were at the doorway now. At that, Sebastian instantly grabbed Derrick’s arm.

Derrick shot him a frigid look

Sebastian quickly put the phone on speaker. “Say that again. What do you mean Marie’s going after Dan?”

Hearing that, Derrick froze in place.

Marie is going after Dan?

That woman held herself to the highest standards. Ever since she learned Dan was still alive, she’d barely

reacted.

Yeah, she’d been angry back in Frapucu-but even then, she’d shown nothing but cold indifference.

She hadn’t even acknowledged him since.

Because the more furious you are, the more you care.

But now?

The voice on the phone continued, “Yeah. She brought a bunch of people. Armed.”

She brought weapons?!

What the hell happened after they left the hotel?

Sebastian’s voice trembled. “She’s going to war?”

Just saying those words made his chest tighten.

Holy hell…

This was life-or-death.

Good thing they ran fast-otherwise, they’d be the ones getting lit up right now.

“What happened? Why’s she going after Dan all of a sudden?” Sebastian asked, heart pounding.

Just hearing that Marie was out causing chaos was enough to make anyone shake in their boots.

Now she was already on her way?

Derrick frowned, glancing at Sebastian.

Sebastian looked more terrified now than he did when Derrick slept with Marie-like he was scared she’d come for them next.

The voice on the phone answered, “Not totally sure what happened, but something must’ve gone down at Spirit Pub last night. Ms. Marie and Ms. Stella were both there this morning, stayed for over an hour.”

“Right after they got back to the Dawson estate, Ms. Marie left with a group to confront Dan. The details are still unclear.”

Sebastian turned pale-beyond pale. He looked downright sick.

He didn’t even have the strength to speak. He just hung up the call.

“You heard that, didn’t you? She brought a ton of people. And she’s armed.”

What did they mean they “weren’t sure what happened”? Something clearly happened after they left the hotel. Something that made Marie think it was Dan.
