Chapter 327 A Phone That Won’t Stop Ringing


    “Your phone won’t stop ringing. Ste said.


    “Shut up.”


    Ste red. That bastard.

    <i>My </i>hair was a mess, and I wanted to go to the bathroom to clean <i>up</i>, but Derrick wouldn’t let me<i>. </i><i>He </i>had even searched me and taken my phone.


    And now this lunatic was actually <i>ying </i>video games. <i>As </i><i>if </i><i>he </i>wasn’t <i>afraid </i>that Abraham would break down the door <i>any </i>second and shoot him to pieces.


    I want to y too.”


    “You’re a woman. Go learn to cook or arrange flowers <b>or </b>something.”


    Ste was stunned..


    Cooking? Arrange flowers? What is this, etiquette school for rich housewives?


    To be fair, Madam <i>Evelyn </i><i>never </i><i>forced </i>me or Marie to do anything like that. While <i>other </i>high society girls were busy learning graceful manners, Madam Evelyn had <i>always </i>let <i>them </i>grow <i>free</i>.


    So now, faced with Derrick’s primitive thinking, Ste didn’t even bother to respond. She just turned away and watched TV.


    But Derrick wasn’t finished. “So tell me, after you moved to Rivermount, did you learn how to cook?”


    “I did.”


    Ste nodded quietly.


    I can cook. The only question is <i>whether </i>it is edible.


    “Then make something for me sometime.”


    “Sure.”


    She agreed far too quickly.


    Derrick narrowed his eyes. “You’re not nning on poisoning your future husband, are you? Wait, didn’t you blow up my kitchen that one time?”


    The memory made his chest hurt.


    This woman had too many tricks up her sleeve. After her time at Rivermount, her <i>fiery </i>attitude had taken on

    Chapter 327 A Phone That Won’t Stop Ringing


    When Ste didn’t answer, Derrick looked up from his phone and nced at her.


    She was staring intently at the TV, as if she had discovered something incredible.


    Derrick walked over and stood behind her, following her gaze.


    It was a live broadcast of a boxing match on the <i>yacht</i><i>. </i>


    Nothing out of the ordinary.


    “What are you watching?”


    <i>There </i>was nothing special going on<i>. </i><i>Why </i>was she so engrossed?

    Ste’s eyes were fixed on a man who had been knocked down in the ring. His face was covered in blood, but just before he copsed, she caught something in his features.


    He looked a lot like Ethan.


    No, he looked even more like Judson.


    Derrick noticed. “Your fiancé from Rivermount? What’s he doing? Trying to be a punching bag now?”


    This wasn’t <i>even </i>a real <i>boxing </i>match. More like a punching showcase <i>for </i>someone with <i>power</i>.


    The guy on the ground obviously never had a chance.


    Ste looked away, ignoring him.


    But Derrick reached out and grabbed her chin. “Getting more defiant, huh?”


    “Let go.”


    Ste grabbed his wrist. Derrick let go immediately out of reflex.


    This crazy woman was biting people. <i>It’s </i>best to keep <i>her </i>mouth away.


    “Your phone’s still buzzing, Ste said.


    Derrick scowled, then shifted his gaze back to the TV. His eyes lingered on the blood–covered man, and his expression turned cold.


    He took out his phone. It was Sebastian calling.


    He answered. “Are you dead yet?”


    “Derrick, you’re incredibly cruel.”

    “Get to the point,” Derrick <b>said</b>.


    “Mr. Abraham wants to trade me for Ms. Dawson.”


    Derrick raised his eyebrows. “And he thinks you’re worth it?”


    ? Pearls


    “You! Unbelievable! You really are my brother,” Sebastian shouted, practically smoking with rage.


    Derrick said nothing, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, then lookedzily at Ste.


    He almost blew smoke at her, but she turned and gave him a warning look.


    Finally. Derrick exhaled in the other direction.


    Sebastian added, “Plus Bernie.”


    Derrick paused.


    He took another long drag, then slowly turned to look at Ste again.


    She raised her eyebrows, a smile tugging at her lips.


    Derrick didn’t like that smile. It looked warm on the surface, but it was clearlyced with mockery.


    He looked away and said into the phone, “Deal.”


    Then he hung up.


    Derrick turned and walked over to Ste. “Before you left for Rivermount, do you remember what I told you?”


    She didn’t answer. He’d asked her the same thing back in Pagena.


    “You’re my fiancée. I’ming to get you.”


    As <b>soon </b>as she heard these words, she understood what he meant.


    <i>He </i>wanted to return me to Abraham.


    <i>So </i><i>far</i>, <i>I </i>still didn’t know if the thing Lancelot had stolen really belonged to Derrick.
