The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 518 Letting Go

What a complete joke…

The man who used to live in her heart–the one she had guarded their memories with such care–had tried to kill her.

Was that not the biggest joke of all?

Marie took a deep breath. “I went to get something from him.”

“Derrick’s file? You think it’s still worth anything now?”

Marie shrugged. “Yeah, I don’t think it’s worth a damn either. But that lunatic Derrick keeps bugging me for it. He’s crazy and wants to drag me into the madness with him.”

The way Derrick had come at her yesterday–it was like if she didn’t get that file back, he’d never let her go.

Abraham asked, “Did you get it?”

“Nope. I knocked the guy out cold and still didn’t get the file.”

To be fair, Dan was tough.

She’d beaten him within an inch of his life, and he still wouldn’t give it up.

Now Derrick had even more reason to keep pestering her.

Abraham said, “Don’t go looking for him again.”

Marie paused at that, then nodded. “Yeah. I won’t.”

It sounded like a casual answer–but it wasn’t.

It carried a quiet, resolute weight.

A kind of release. A decision to finally let go.

That man had lived in her heart for years. And now, this was where things stood.

So she chose wrong. What else could she do? Hang on and keep humiliating herself?

No thanks. That just wasn’t Marie’s style.
