The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 258 Triggers from the Past

The atmosphere was suffocating..

Stella seized the excuse of answering the phone to hurry upstairs.

Abraham shot a glance at Eddie but didn’t say a word. Instead, he pulled out his phone and dialed Marie.

The call connected quickly. “Hey,” Marie answered.

“Why did Evic bring your people to

Rivermount?” Abraham’s voice was icy.

Marie fell silent.

The sudden sharpness in his tone made even her breathing falter.

Abraham had always had a headache dealing with Marie. Since childhood, she had been wild–more like a boy than a girl.

Getting into trouble at school was practically a hobby for her. Their mother had been called in so many times that eventually even she had grown fearful of visiting Marie’s school. Later on, it had been Abraham – like Eddie – who had to clean up after his rebellious sister.

Maybe that was why Abraham doted on Stella so much. In the ruthless, wolf–like Dawson family, she was like a soft little lamb.

Gentle, sweet–tempered, delicate. A complete opposite of Marie.

Back then, Abraham had to worry about Marie causing trouble and also about Stella being bullied.
