The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 322 Face to Face with Danger

The door slammed shut with a deafening bang. The next moment Stella was pinned against it.

A broad palm covered her mouth, silencing her.

He grabbed her cheek. “You tricked me with a dog, huh? Stella, you really outdid yourself.”

Her skin blushed from his grip.

Somehow Derrick found the mark pleasing and pulled harder. Stella let out a muffled whimper of pain.

That maniac. Can no one control him?

But just as she made a sound, Derrick pressed the cold, black muzzle of a gun to her forehead.

“Go on, scream. I dare you.”

Stella glared at him.
