The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 646

646 The Reckoning at Dawn

Evic glanced at Maric and said, “Derrick’s into girls like Star–fair–skinned, soft, and sweet. You…”

She didn’t finish.

Finished

“Besides, who in Falvaria doesn’t know about your temper? How messed up would he have to be to go after you?”

You went after Dan like you were trying to end his bloodline. I’d wager it’s not just Derrick–anyone who knows you wouldn’t dare.”

In Evie’s view, Maric was just too fierce. No man in his right mind would dare mess with her.

And honestly, hearing it laid out like that, Marie was even more convinced Derrick wouldn’t have done it.

“But still… his reaction was weird,” Evie added after a pause.

Most people would run for the hills if someone tried to pin something like that on them.

But Derrick? He practically volunteered to wear the blame like a badge.

Marie didn’t have the energy to keep talking. She downed another glass of wine.

Evie said. “If you ask me, Dan’s the most likely one. After everything he did to you back then, he still has the nerve to show up in front of you.”

Marie’s eyes narrowed.

Just hearing Dan’s name again stirred a dark glint in her gaze.

The so–called head of the Ashen Pact. Hah… they had all underestimated him.

She had her suspicions before–but now, they were confirmed.

To her. Dan wasn’t just a two–faced snake. He was a conniving manipulator through and through,

Marie didn’t respond. She set down her empty wine glass and said, “I’m leaving”

Evic finally exhaled in relief.

A miracle, really–Marie hadn’t chased her across continents this time. Probably because she had too many other fires to put out.

Just when Evie thought she was in the clear, Marie paused at the door.

“Next time I’in in Falvaria, you’d better return all my stuff

Evie froze.

Marie added, “I don’t have time to deal with you right now”

She had more important vengeance to carry ou

She was going to kill Dan

Inished

5:00 AM.

When Dennis saw Marie suddenly show up at the hospital, an ominous chill ran down his spine.

“Ms. Dawson? What are you doing here?” he asked, voice tight.

And at this hour?

Her surprise visit made him nervous–but more than that, it made him angry.

After all, she had already beaten Dan to the brink. As Dan’s most loyal subordinate, Dennis was practically radiating hostility.

Marie didn’t spare him so much as a glance. She strode straight toward the door.

Dennis lunged to block her. “Ms. Dawson, our boss needs rest.”

His tone was cold. Not a shred of respect.

Marie’s hand flew up–and slapped Dennis hard across the head.

His ears rang from the impact.

Then came a sharp twist to the neck. If he hadn’t instinctively raised an arm, he might’ve passed out on the

spot.

But Marie didn’t stop. Her knee slammed into his stomach with brutal force, dropping him to the ground,

unable to rise.

She swept into the hospital room like she owned the place.

Dan, half–awake, stirred at the noise.

His breath hitched the moment he saw her. “You-”

Before he could say another word, Marie slapped him–once, then again.

Dan was stunned. This woman-

His face stung with searing pain. His skull throbbed.

He barely had time to process it before Marie raised her hand to strike again.

This time, he caught her wrist.

“You’re insane!” he snapped. “You already know it was Derrick–why are you still hitting me?!”

What the hell kind of logic was that?

He glared at her, trembling with fury

Marie’s eyes narrowed. “The Ashen Pact’s heir?”

“You’ve really been playing the long game, huh? You had the guts to lie to me?”

Dan froze, her words slicing through the air.

“You… you found out?”

The second the words left his mouth-

Marie’s hand was around his throat.
