The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 310 Bullets and Bad Luck

Stella twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Really?

I had been here for a long time, and this place had always been safe. How could something like this happen all of a sudden?

A thought struck her, and she turned to Abraham. “Could it be Derrick and his shady tricks?”

“Do you think he would dare make trouble here?”

“I don’t know… I just have a feeling that he might not be what you all think,” Stella said Juncertainly.

Ever since Abraham arrived at Rivermount, it was clear from the things Eddie had let slip that everyone thought Derrick was in terrible shape.

Almost as if he was walking around with nothing left.

But what I saw in Pagena was the complete opposite.

It looked like he was in control of all of Pagena.

Eddie scoffed, “If he wanted to cause trouble because he lost you, wouldn’t he have done it in Pagena? Why come all the way to Rivermount and cause more trouble?”

Stella blinked. “!!!”

I seriously want to slap this man’s mouth shut.

Eddie continued, “If he really wanted to grab you, why didn’t he do it sooner? He already missed his chance. Coming to Rivermount would only make things worse.”

The balance of power in Rivermount was already a tangled web.

If Derrick dared to act up here, he’d be inviting more chaos.

He’d barely survived the last few years with Abraham hounding him. Why would he be stupid enough to show up now?
