Chapter 615 Still Got Feelings, Huh?
Eileen’s face was full of righteous fury. Marie said, “So technically, you saved me.”
Julia raised an eyebrow. “And you’re telling me you didn’t finish the job this morning?”
Back when Dan pulled his crap, they let it slide; but now his fiancee dared to pull this stunt on Marie? Did she really think Marie was made of y?
Marie replied, “I almost did.”
If that shot had gone off even a little closer to her head, E wouldn’t be lying in a hospital bed right now, she’d be in the morgue.
“You should call your brother now.”
Just as she said that, Julia’s phone rang. She stepped aside
to take the call.
Marie pulled out her own phone to dial Abraham.
The moment the call connected, she heard June’s voice on the other end, “What? Evie is at the Oarde Hotel? Are you sure?”
Julia had arranged for someone to keep tabs on Evie for Marie.
Evie had really crossed a line this time. Knowing how desperate Marie was to find her sister, she still did something like this?
There was a time and ce for games; what Evie did was practically criminal.

over the edge, cigarette smoldering between his fingers.
<b>Two </b>spent cigarette buttsy on the ground beside the car. From the looks of it, he’d been there for a while.
Abraham’s car pulled up beside him; the window rolled halfway down.
In that moment, Abraham’s gaze was deep, unreadable. “Waiting for Marie?”
Their eyes met. Derrick’s flickered with a sh of irritation.
He didn’t answer Abraham’s question; instead, he asked calmly, “Does she still have feelings for Dan?”
Abraham raised an eyebrow. “What are you trying to say?”
“I really don’t get her when ites to this.”
Abraham said nothing.
<i>Doesn’t </i>get <i>her</i><i>? </i>Truth <b>was</b>, Derrick wasn’t the only one who couldn’t read Marie when it came to Dan.
Even Abraham couldn’t <b>say </b>with full certainty whether Marie had truly let go.
Back when she thought Dan was dead, Marie had spiraledpletely.
She’d gone through multiple therapists before she finally started to recover with time.
And when she found out Dan was in Feisha City, she dropped everything and rushed to find him.
But now, Dan had a fiancee<b>. </b>
E, who was clearly connected to the Mory family.
Abraham gave Derrick a long, searching look. “Why are you suddenly asking about this<b>?</b><b>” </b>

Derrick replied ndly, “Just curious.”
As if it were some casual question born out of boredom.

But he’de all the way here, just to casually ask whether Marie still had feelings for Dan?
Abraham was too sharp to buy that excuse.
He chuckled lightly. “You know, sometimes a man’s gotta act like a <i>real </i>man.”
Derrick was caught off guard.
Abraham’s eyes were dark and unreadable as they fixed on him.
Before Derrick could respond, Abraham added, “At the end of the day, you have to keep things in perspective.”
Abraham’s words made Derrick’s temple throb, it felt like Abraham had seen straight through him.
Abraham didn’t say anything else. He just motioned for Abel to drive.
He left.

Derrick sat there for several long seconds, face grim, then took a slow drag of the cigarette burning down between his fingers.
“Keep things in perspective, huh?” <i>Is </i><i>that </i><i>even </i>possible<i>? </i>

His phone buzzed–Kale was calling.
“Talk.”
That one word came out cold as <b>ice</b><b>. </b>
There <b>was </b><b>a </b>brief pause, then Kale reported, “Mr. Derrick, Ms. Dawson is at the Oarde Hotel right now.”

No wonder, when he came by earlier and didn’t see her car, he figured she wasn’t home.
Made sense. After everything that happened today, Dan and E both got beaten <b>senseless</b><b>; </b>she probably wasn’t nning on going back home until she cooled off.
Derrick pinched the bridge of his nose. His head throbbed. “What’s she doing at the Oarde Hotel<b>?</b><b>” </b>

“She alone?” Derrick asked again.
Kale replied, “This time, yes<b>” </b>
Both earlier outings, she’d brought an entire squad of bodyguards with her to stir up trouble.
