Chapter 494 Guess Who’s Trapped Now?
Abraham said, “How do you <b>know </b>Dan is actually living a good life right now?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Derrick snapped, gritting his teeth.
What was that supposed to mean? Was Dan not doing well? No way….
Marie had just gone to Frapucu, honestly, a lot of things were still unclear.
And now Abraham was already making moves–anyone who knew what was going on would say he was just being protective.
But people who didn’t, they’d use him of beingpletely unreasonable.
Though to be fair, he wasn’t exactly someone who cared about being reasonable. Just look at the crap he was saying now.
“I just identally touched her! And now you want me to marry Marie? Has Marie even agreed to <b>this</b>?”
Derrick sprang up, seething.
Before <b>Abraham </b>could answer, a voice came from the study doorway–Marie’s voice, “I agree
Abraham went quiet. Derrick was stunned.
He turned, eyes locking on Marie standing in the doorway–he had no idea when she’d even gotten there. His <b>mouth</b><b>. </b>twitched uncontrobly.
“What the heck do you mean by that?”
Is this real life anymore?
“What do you <b>mean </b>you agree Agree to what?”
Marie stepped into the room, arms crossed over her chest. “Marrying you, of course. That way you can stop all nonsense. After all, Star would never marry a divorced man. I’m going to make sure you have zero chance.”
Derrick <b>was </b>silent.
your
His mind wentpletely nk. His pupils <b>shrank </b>as he stared at <b>Marie</b>, unable to believe what he was hearing.
What did she just say? That she was going to make sure I have no chance with Steever?
“You’d sacrifice your own happiness just to take away my shot?”
<b>Marie </b>shrugged, <b>arms </b>still folded. “Yeah. So what?”
man was Marie?
Derrick’s breath grew ragged and uneven. She’s insane. She’s totally insane. What kind of woman was
“What about <b>Dan</b>? <b>You </b><b>think </b>he’d be okay with a divorced <b>woman</b><b>?</b>”
Derrick was growing frantic; he threw out Dan’s <b>name </b>like it was his trump card–that man who had lived rent–free in Marie’s heart for
years.
The truth was, Derrick was already reeling
He’de here to call Marie out–<b>for </b>stealing his file and handing it to Dan.
Now he felt like he was the one getting trapped, like he was being forced into something he couldn’t escape…
Marie didn’t care. “Him? He’s marrying someone else now. Doesn’t matter–we can both be divorced.”
Derrick jumped to his feet. “Who the heck wants to be <b>divorced </b>with you? Knock it off already!”
“I’m telling you, I will never love you.”

The angrier he got, the harsher <b>his </b>words became.
Marie raised a brow. “We can get the marriage license tomorrow, and the divorce papers the day after. Or we can stay married forever–1 don’t care. <b>Love </b>isn’t necessary.”
Derrick was silent. So this whole thing was just to make me divorced?
She wanted to cut off any possibility he had left with Ste–like she was determined to end it for good.
Their back–and–forth was heating up. Abraham gave Marie a long, thoughtful look.
The whole situation <b>was </b>spiraling out of control.
Marie turned to Derrick. “You shameless scumbag. Star’s already pregnant–with my brother’s <b>child</b>. And you’re still trying to worm your way in?”
“You think Star would actually marry someone like you? You’re a joke. She doesn’t even want you, <b>and </b>here you are clinging on like a leech. You’re disgusting”
She’d been holding back, but now she let Derrick have it.
Back in the day. Derrick had known–everyone in the Dawson family had sharp tongues, especially Ste. She looked soft and sweet, but the girl could <b>hold </b>her <b>own</b>.
With a Dawson upbringing, even her mouth became a deadly weapon.
The i past few days, Marie <b>had </b>only been fighting him physically–not verbally.
<b>But </b>now that she was unleashing her verbal arsenal, she <b>was </b>like a firecracker…
“You done yet? Marie, I’m telling you–stop confusing people <b>and </b>give me back my stuff!”
If they thought all this craziness would distract him from why he was here, they had seriously miscalcted.
The moment she <b>heard </b>that. Marie’s temper red again.
Even though she couldn’t exactly exin the situation clearly-
She genuinely hadn’t taken the damn file.
“What stuff? <b>I </b>didn’t take <b>anything</b>”
This guy–she really couldn’t talk sense with <b>him</b>.
Seeing her shrug it off like that, Derrick’s anger reignited. “You came back from Dan’s ce and then came <b>straight </b>to <b>beat </b>
me <b>up</b>.
“And here I was thinking you were mad on Ste’s behalf–but clearly you <b>had </b>some other motive all along. And now that the file’s <b>in </b>Dan’s <b>hands</b>, <b>you </b><b>expect </b>me to believe you didn’t take it?”
Marie <b>went </b>quiet. Could this guy’s brain twist things any hardert
After everything <b>that </b>had just gone down, he still found a way to spin it <b>around</b>. At this <b>point</b>, Marie wished she could <b>just </b>pass out and be done with it. Looks like if I want to handle this idior<b>, </b>I’m gonna have to get serious.
Meanwhile, the Dawson family, they’d expected Derrick to stir things <b>up </b><b>over </b>Ste now that she was back.
But no one saw <b>this </bing–Dan’s file had ignited the fire under Derrick first.
Now everything <b>was </b>in <b>total </b><b>chaos</b>; and Marie? She was <b>already </b>neck–deep in it, no way
out.
