The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 594 Afraid to Die? We Are

Derrick’s chest ached with frustration. “You think I’m afraid to die?”

Sebastian, Ashley, and Drax answered in unison, “We are.”

Dead serious. The three of them didn’t even hesitate.

Sebastian was genuinely terrified. “This isn’t a joke, man. You heard the call–she brought a whole crew to go after Dan.”

If Marie found out a bunch of people had tampered with evidence in what she believed was a sexual assault case, there’s no doubt–she wouldn’t spare a single one of them.

Tessa stirred groggily, vaguely hearing Silas’s voice from outside: “How the hell did your stitches come apart this badly?”

Lewis scoffed, “It’s gotta be that Ms. Tessa. I bet after we left, she went at you again. I swear, she’s a spy from Ashen Pact. Probably trying to take you out–just look at that wound.”

The more he talked, the more fired up he got.

Silas snapped, “Shut up.”

Lewis argued, “I’m just speaking facts. But seriously, it’s weird–if she really wanted to kill you, why not just do it at night while you’re sleeping? Why play these sneaky games?”

Sneaky games, huh?

Tessa had hated that kind of two–faced crap back in Rivermount–especially when Lilian used it against Stella.

But now, being in Victor’s orbit… it almost felt like she’d turned into that kind of woman herself.

God knows I’m not.

Silas deadpanned, “Do you really think anyone could kill Big Brother while he’s asleep?”

Lewis paused. “Good point. So she’s just trying to wear him down little by little?”
