The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 525 You Want Me to Compensate Him?

That clerk was clearly implying Derrick had a history of domestic violence.

Derrick wasn’t stupid–he heard it loud and clear.

He glared fiercely at the clerk. “Do I look like the kind of scumbag who hits women?”

The clerk replied bluntly, “With all due respect–you do.”

“You-!”

Derrick shot up, furious, radiating hostility.

Kale quickly stepped in. “Mr. Derrick, let’s just focus on the marriage first.”

The clerk’s expression darkened at Derrick’s outburst.

Seeing security walking their way, the clerk threw down his pen and barked, “Are you being forced into this marriage or not? I refuse to believe a woman would come here on her own if she didn’t want to. Just say the word–if you say you’re unwilling, I guarantee this marriage won’t go through today.”

The look Marie gave the clerk was one of pure admiration. Wow, there really are people who aren’t afraid of Derrick.

Derrick was still fuming.

The clerk faced him again. “Don’t try to intimidate me. I don’t scare easy. Men like you? I’ve seen tons of you–abusive types who have no business getting married.”

Derrick gritted his teeth. “What… did you just say?”

“Alright, alright, stop,” Kale hurriedly said. “It really is a voluntary marriage. Please, just help us process it.”

He handed over all of Derrick’s documents and kept signaling at Marie with his eyes.

See? Didn’t I say the Dawson family’s troublemakers were all a handful? Stella’s one, and Marie’s even worse. Stella learned it from them.

The clerk didn’t take the documents. He just stared at Derrick.
