Chapter 489 Derrick Just Kicked the Damn Door In
Marie said <b>instinctively</b>, “I’m not seeing him<b>.</b>”
Marie pondered. How the heck am I supposed to exin this?
But just as the words left her mouth, Derrick’s furious roar erupted from outside the door, “Marie, get the heck out here! I swear I’ll kill you today! Do you even know what you stole? You’ve got the guts to steal that?”
Ste and Marie went quiet.
Derrick had oftene and gone from the Dawson mansion–<b>usually </b>alongside Abraham.
<b>So </b>he knew both the Dawson mansion and the Luke residence like the back of his hand.
And clearly, he’d predicted Marie wouldn’t see him face–to–face<b>, </b>so he’d juste straight to her door.
Hearing Derrick’s fury, Ste quickly pulled out her phone to call Abraham.
The Dawson magnion was huge. There was <b>a </b>chance Abraham didn’t <b>even </b>know Derrick was here yet.
Marie started to panic. “I didn’t take anything! Don’t start using me out of nowhere<b>!</b>”
Judging by Derrick’s mood, if she opened that door, he might actually try to kill her.
Derrick barked, “Come out.”
While Ste was <b>dialing</b>, she said to Marie, “If you didn’t take it, shouldn’t you try exining it to him?”
Marie shot back, “You really think I can exin anything to him right now, looking at how he’s acting!”
Ste went quiet. Yeah… maybe not.
“Didn’t you hear Sebastian on the phone earlier? He said Derrick brought weapons toe after me.”
Ste <b>was </b>stunned;
He brought weapons–just <b>how </b>unhinged was Derrick right now?
Like Marie <b>said</b>, there was no reasoning with someone in that state.
“Then maybe you should bring weapons too?” Ste suggested.
Derrick looked ready to kill Maric, and Sebastian had said he <b>was </b>armed.
So it only made sense for Marie to arm herself too.
Marie <b>was </b>stunned; Fight Derrick here? In this house! <i>If </i>they tore the ce up, wouldn’t it be my house getting wrecked? No way–that was a terrible deal.
<b>And </b>then she remembered about Ste.
Marie’s gaze instinctively dropped to Ste’s stomach,
No. She couldn’t act impulsively.
“all your brother. Now.”
If they were going <b>to </b>fight, it couldn’t be here.
“I’m already calling him,” Ste replied.
The call connected.

Abraham’s voice came through. “Head to the medical wing. I’m on my way.”
He’d already mentioned at lunch that Ste should get a check–up.
“Abraham,” Ste said quickly, “Derrick’s here. He’s right outside my sister’s door, and he looks like he’s ready to kill
someone.”
She <b>had </b>to be brief.
Because Derrick had already started pounding on the door–clearly out of his mind.
“I’ming. Don’t open the door,” Abraham said.
“Okay.”
She hung up just as Derrick’s voice roared from outside <b>again</b>, “Marie, you crazy wench<b>, </b>get the heck out here!”
a went quiet.
Ste
Marie’s mouth twitched.
Even though she’d gone to fight Derrick for Ste’s sake, seeing <b>him </b>in this state had genuinely shaken her.
Who wouldn’t be scared of someone who looked ready to kill you?
Marie waspletely stunned<b>.. </b>
-You’re go
gonna kill me? The thing’s not even mine! I’m telling you, get lost-”
The door mmed into <b>the </b>wall with a deafening crack.
Ste went quiet.
Derrick <b>stood </b><b>in </b>the doorway, eyes zing with rage.
One kick. That <b>was </b>all it took for him to break down the door–that was how far gone he was.
Back when Marie had gone looking for a fight with him, she hadn’t been afraid
But seeing Derrick like this <b>now</b>, even she couldn’t <b>help </b>jumping.
<b>She </b>swallowed instinctively. “What the heckl are you doing? I’m warning you…
Even as she spoke, she stepped in front of Ste, shielding her behind her back.
Derrick lifted his eyes, cold <b>and </b>sharp, giving Marie a single, icy re.
Marie–who normally feared nothing and no one, who picked fights like she breathed–actually choked on her words at the sheer danger in that look.
Just like that, everything she was about to say died in her throat.
Derrick slowly walked to the couch and sat down.
He crossed–one leg over the other. His posture screamed arrogance;
But that cocky attitude only made the danger rolling off <b>him </b>feel even more intense….
He reached down, pulled something from his waistband, and mmed it onto the coffee table with a loud bang.
The threat in the air was suffocating.
“How,” <b>he </b><b>asked</b>, each word like a knife through clenched teeth, “are you nning to get that thing back for me?”
Ste and Marie both flinched at the sight of what he’d pulled out.

Derrick sneered. “Oh <b>yeah</b>? Then tell me this–how the heck did it end up in Dan’s hands? You just came back from being
with him.”
And there it was–that one connection that made everything impossible to exin.
Before Marie could say anything,
covering
Derrick shot another venomous barb at her, full of contempt, “He’s about to marry <b>another </b>woman, and you’re still for him? Marie, how did I never realize before that you were the kind of woman who throws herself at men who don’t want you?
