Chapter 292 He Was So Possessive
Derrick finally left.
Ste nced at the ashtray that had fallen to the floor. She still felt a lingering fear.
But at least Derrick didn’t <b>insist </b>on sharing a room with her anymore.
Ste thought that once Derrick left, everything would be over.
<b>But </b>instead, he sent <b>over </b>a maid to stay in the room with her.
From what Ste observed, <b>this </b><b>maid </b>even knew some martial arts.
After being put through all that by Derrick, Ste took another shower. When she came out, she saw the maid carrying a nket over to <b>the </b>sofa. “Ms. Dawson, sorry to bother you the maid said politely.
Ste grew even more frustrated. What a b’stard. He’s really that set on having someone watch me? Can’t even let me be alone for a second<b>! </b>
I’m not used to sleeping with other people,” she said coldly.
“Sorry, you’ll have to tell Mr. Derrick that, the maid replied, bowing slightly.
Ste blinked
Yeah, tell him. As if I want <b>to </b>talk to him nicely.
She dried her hair, threw the towel aside<b>, </b><b>and </b>got straight into bed. Seeing that she had finally settled down, the maid let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Ste had caused a hugemotion at the other vi during the day, almost burning someone alive. Now she finally calmed down.
After sending a quiet report to Derrick, the maidy down <b>as </b>well.
In the room on the other side. Derrick lounged in a <b>half</b>–<b>open </b>robe, holding a ss of red wine.
He nced at the photo the maid sent him. There was just a small lump under the nket–no sign of Ste.
He didn’t even have to think about it. She clearly wasn’t happy with his arrangement <b>and </b>had hidden under the <b>covers </b>out of
anger.
The corner of his <b>mouth </b>curled <b>into </b><b>a </b>cold smile. “Even now, she still <b>dares </b><b>to </b>act so stubborn.”
Sebastian Tom, hearing this, nced at his phone instinctively. “You seriously brought back Ms. Dawson?”
Just thinking <b>about </b>it made Sebastian break <b>out </b>in a cold sweat.
<b>Abraham </b>treated that sister of his like she was made of gold. Sebastian had <b>no </b>clue Derrick’s little trip was actually to <b>snatch </b>Ste–the girl Abraham <b>had </b>just tracked down. That was obviously a direct p to <b>Abraham’s </b>face.
Seeing Derrick’s indifferent expression, Sebastian felt like <b>losing </b>it. “I mean seriously, if you were that desperate, you <b>just </b><b>dragged </b>Marie back! Don’t tell me you actually took that old joke about a marriage promise seriously?”
could ve
<b>Back </b>when Abraham’s father was alive, he’d <b>joked </b><b>about </b>marrying Ste to <b>Derrick </b><b>once </b>she grew up. <b>Abraham </b><b>had </b>always
been irritated about it.
After all, Abraham practically raised Ste himself. Of course he wouldn’t want anyone else <b>making </b>decisions about her
<b>1/2 </b>
“Is he even her elder? Derrick asked coldly.
Sebastian was speechless.
The look on Derrick’s face made Sebastian uneasy
Tm telling you, don’t act recklessly. You seriously don’t know how Abraham feels about Ms. Dawson?”
That guy
was so
so possessive. If someone even looked at Ste too long, he’d want to gouge their eyes <b>out </b>
And <b>now </b>Derrick had kidnapped her. This was a disaster waiting to happen.
“Right now you’re focused on getting that thing from Abraham, yeah? Once you get it, you will send her back, right?”
He thought of the document Derrick needed, still in Abraham’s hands. Maybe that exined this whole borate setup.
But it didn’t seem like <b>that </b>was Derrick’s only goal.
Derrick raised an eyebrow at Sebastian. “Return her?”
“<b>What </b>do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of keeping her! Derrick, I’m warning you<b>. </b>
Sebastian was <b>at </b>aplete loss for words.
Everyone in Falvaria knew Ste was probably Abraham’s one soft spot. When a person’s weakness is so obvious, no one darest
to touch it.
But Derrick was the first to do just that.
“Did you forget how Abraham hunted you down for years?”
For the past few years, Derrick hadn’t had <b>a </b><b>single </b>peaceful day. Whatever he tried to do, Abraham would interfere. All because he once made a move on Ste.
Now he wanted the item and the girl.
Might as well have dug his own grave already.
Derrick’s voice turned cold. “If I don’t do this, <b>how </b>will the Tom family bepletely destroyed?”
At that. Sebastian’s chest tightened.
Just the mention of the <b>Tom </b>family made his heart ache.
“Your dad really was ruthless to you,” he muttered.
Derrick put down the wine ss, silent.
He was just about to pick up <b>his </b>phone when a faint wmp came from somewhere.
He didn’t <b>pay </b>much attention
Sebastian kept <b>rambling</b>. Listen<b>, </b><b>Abraham’s </b>not someone you can mess with. You’re at a critical point right now. Don’t <b>lose </b>your mind.”
