Chapter 523 No One’s Saying Anything

It wasn’t just Stella who didn’t buy it–Marie didn’t either.

Everything Derrick said now sounded shady. For all she knew, he could rope her into something with just a few words. The guy was a pro manipulator.

Marie looked him over. “What do you need help with?”

“It’s not convenient to say,” Derrick replied.

Marie snapped, “Hey-”

Evelyn cut her off. “That’s right. It’s not convenient to say.”

Hearing that back–and–forth, both of them turned to look at Evelyn. Then their eyes shifted back to Derrick.

Marie rubbed her hands together, fuming. “You’re asking me for help, but you won’t even tell me what it’s for?”

Evelyn just said, “Exactly. Now go already.”

With that, she shoved Marie right into Derrick’s hands.

And Derrick? He practically dragged her out the door.

Stella tried to speak up but Evelyn pulled her back.

“Mom-”

“Enough. Stay out of your sister’s business.”

Now that Marie was gone, Evelyn’s tone revealed a trace of helplessness.

Stella muttered, “But Derrick really isn’t a good guy.”

Evelyn shot her a look. What do you know? You’re still just a kid, suddenly think you can judge people now?”

Stella pouted.

Evelyn sighed. “Alright, alright. Derrick’s not going to eat her alive. The one you really should be worried about is that Dan. He’s the real danger.”
