Chapter 493 I’m Doing This Just to Ruin You
“What the heck is going on?”
Derrick ground his teeth.
Even though he knew he couldn’t win against Abraham, his clenched fists still itched to punch that face in
July forward.
Abrahamced his fingers together and rested them on the desk, his body leaning slightly
“They were drunk out of their minds. And you<b>, </b>a sober <b>adult</b>, actually took <b>their </b>drunken ramblings seriously?”
Derrick went silent.
His breath hitched again.
<b>shes </b>of that night surfaced in his mind–and he had to admit, Abraham had a point.
Those words had been <b>said </b>when his father <b>and </b>Abraham werepletely wasted.
“So what? Just because they were drunk doesn’t mean they weren’t elders.”
Derrick snapped.
Whether or not Abraham took the engagement seriously, he did. He, Derrick, had always taken it <b>seriously</b>.
Abraham chuckled coldly. “Your father–does he even count as an elder anymore?”
Derrick was stunned.

In that moment, every emotion on his face shatteredpletely. That old scumbag, what kind of elder was he even qualified to be?
Abraham scoffed. “If I’m not mistaken, didn’t you sever lies with Mr. Sebastian two years ago?”
“You’ve been going around telling everyone you’re not part of the Tom family.”
Derrick spat <b>back</b>, “I’m not part of the Tom family, but I am Derrick. Ste is my fiancee.”
“And <b>what </b>exactly are you trying to prove with that deration?
Derrick froze
Abraham narrowed his eyes. “Nothing. You’ll get nothing.”
Those words hit hard. Derrick’s anger snapped hisst thread of reason. “I don’t care. She’s mine–you <b>have </b>to give her back.”
<b>That </b>“give her back” sounded like pure fury, but if one listened closely, there was something else there too–something almost like wounded pride.
Ever since that night between the elders, he’d believed Ste belonged to him. And now this unreasonable man shows up and tries to steal her away?
When logic failed, Derrick resorted to pure, stubborn denial. Truthfully, he’d always been like this.
That brar Ste–three years ago, she’d misunderstood everything, and <b>now </b>she <b>had </b>the <b>nerve </b>to me him too.
le’d sent her <b>that </b>text from a second phone–as if she was too blind to <b>notice </b>it.
Abraham’s gaze grew colder; he lifted <b>his </b>eyelids slightly. <b>“</b>Give her back?”
Derrick said, “Yes. She’s mine. You’re going to give her back to me–whatever it takes.”
When it came to Ste<b>. </b>Derrick was nowpletely inflexible; nothing anyone said could sway him.
Chapter 493 I’m Doing This Just to Ruin You:
Abraham let t out a coldugh and crushed his cigarette into the ashtray.
“Just now, I noticed–your hands seemed to be on Marie’s chest, weren’t they?”
Derrick’s mouth twitched “What are you getting at?”
Just now?
What <b>had </b>happened earlier–had he seen that wrong? With the way things were going, it wasn’t even like that, was it?
Abraham said, “Aren’t you going to take responsibility”
Derrick froze. Take responsibility? What the heck was he even talking about? Was he serious?
Facing Abraham’s dead–serious expression, Derrick’s eyelid <b>gave </b>a violent twitch. “Hey–do you even know why I went to find Marie today? She stole something from me.”
“Abraham, I’m warning you. Don’t be shameless. Pulling tricks like this? Have you no pride?”
He was here to get his stuff back from Marie–and to get Star back from Abraham.
And now <b>Abraham </b>was hitting him with this crap.
Dan was out of the picture now, so he was just going to force Marie onto <b>him</b>, Derrick acting like that was perfectly normal
<b>Abraham </b>lit another cigarette. “But you really did touch her. Marie is still a girl; a girl’s reputation matters…
The way he called her Marie made it sound like she <b>was </b>some fragile little thing.
Derrick exploded. “A girl? <b>Abraham</b>, you’re saying Marie’s a woman? You dare <b>say </b>that with a straight face?”
Abraham brought a hand to his chest. “Said it right here<b>.</b>”
Derrick <b>was </b>stunned. What the heck, did I desecrate the Dawson family’s ancestors in a past life or something?Now he was going to double down and take this seriously too?
“You’re doing this for revenge? You want her to torture me?”
Derrick was officially losing it.
He could see it clearly how–Abraham was trying to shove Marie onto him for Ste’s sake
His chest hurt from the rage. “You want her to poison me in my sleep or something?”
<b>This </b>wasn’t some woman being handed to him—
He knew what kind of person his sister was<b>. </b>She wasn’t a <b>woman</b>; she was a walking death sentence.
“Cut the crap already.”
Derrick <b>was </b>furious, practically shouting.
Abraham chuckled. “My sister isn’t someone just anyone <b>can </b>mess with.”
Derrick’s lips twitched. What the heck, he’s serious<b>? </b>
“Marie, that tomboy–her one and only experience with love was falling for Dan. <b>And </b>he’s still living in her <b>heart</b>.”
“She’s not someone people can mess with? Dan practically crushed her.<b>” </b>
She’d gone to him, only to find out he was about to marry <b>another </b>woman.
It <b>was </b>like someone had pped Marie across the face–loud and clear.
