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.

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.
