Chapter 592 A Dangerous Road Ahead


    If Dan really did something like that to Mariest night, there was no doubt she’d make him die an excruciating death…


    Ste didn’t get out of the car right away. “I’m going with you.”


    “Go where? Go home!” Marie snapped. “You think I’ve got the patience to look after you right now?”

    She was about to go after Dan–and when she did, she’d go all in. If this had been before, she might’ve brought Ste along to let her see it for herself.


    But not anymore. Ste was pregnant now. If something happened to the baby, the entire family would tear Marie apart–forget Dan.


    Ste said, “I don’t feel good letting you go alone. Take people with you.”


    Dan was too calcting, and Ste had always sensed something especially dark about him.


    “I know. I’ll bring people,” Marie said.


    After some back and forth, Ste finally stepped out. The moment a servant helped her steady herself, there was a loud <i>vroom</i><i>! </i>and Marie sped off.


    Just from the sound of the tires screeching, it was clear how furious she was.


    And it was a big fury.


    She’d lost her first time–and the bastard had run.


    Worse, it had been Dan.


    Anyone would’ve lost it. Let alone Marie.


    Dan was about to be thoroughly done for.


    Ste quickly pulled out her phone and called Abraham. He picked up fast. “Ste?”


    “Something happened to Marie.”


    “What?” he said.


    Ste hadn’t had time to fill him in earlier. She’d been too busy running around with Marie. And Marie? She always handled things herself, never one to go crying to her family.


    Even the phone call she made this morning had been surprising.


    Abraham wouldn’t know what had happenedst night.


    “What happened?” he asked.

    “I think… it’s got something to do with Dan…” Ste told him everything–what had happenedst night, what she and Marie had investigated, and now how Marie was going to confront Dan herself.


    “I’m worried,” she added, “so I was hoping you’d send someone to follow her. She <i>said </i>she’d bring people, but in this state? She’s not thinking straight.”


    Abraham’s breathing grew heavier the longer she spoke.


    When she finally finished, his voice came low and steady. “Got it. Stay home and don’t get involved.”


    “She already told me not toe,” Ste said.


    Marie had told her to go home and let her handle it herself.


    “I’ll take care of it,” Abraham replied and hung up.


    Back at the vi, Derrick looked like a storm cloud.


    After Sebastian, Ashley, and Drax finished their anxious theorizing, one thing was clear–Derrick couldn’t admit the truth to Marie.


    He hadn’t said a word the whole time.


    Sebastian got desperate. “Even if you don’t care about your own life, at least care about ours!”


    When Marie lost her temper, it was no joke.


    People could actually <i>die</i><i>. </i>


    And no one involved today was getting out clean.


    Derrick shot him a dangerous re. “So what, you want me to live as a coward for the rest of my life?”


    Yeah. A coward.


    What else do you call a guy who does something like that and then runs?


    Sebastian said, “No–I mean, not forever. You need to buy time, get her to fall for you first. Until she loves you, this has to stay buried.”


    That was the only path through this.


    If Marie fell in love with Derrick, there might still be hope for the rest of them.


    But Marie’s heart? Hard as stone. Getting her to care was like climbing a mountain with no peak.


    Sebastian was already feeling doomed.


    Ashley and Drax both agreed. “Yeah, your only shot is to make her fall for you.”

    <i>“</i>Only once she loves you will any of us have a chance to live through this.”


    Otherwise, they were all dead.


    Marie wasn’t the type to forgive and forget. She’d carve them up–slowly.


    Derrick’s face got darker by the second.


    Sebastian said, “I know it’s a tough ask. But can you really go and confess right now?”


    Everyone looked at Derrick, lips twitching anxiously.


    Derrick was so angry his head felt like it was going to explode. “Why the hell wouldn’t I?”


    “You gonna hit her?”


    Sebastian fired back without thinking.


    The room went dead silent.


    If Derrick admitted to Marie that he was the one who’d slept with herst night, there’d be a fight.


    If he didn’t fight back, he was dead.


    If he did fight back…
