The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 605 No One Walks Away

From the look on Marie’s face, it was clear–if you had anything to do with what happened last night, she’d tear you apart.

Sebastian had been right: no one was getting out of this clean.

Instead, he looked straight at Abraham. “I’m heading out.”

Abraham gave him a nod. “Alright.”

Without another word, Derrick walked out.

Abraham reached out and gently ruffled Stella’s hair. She shot a quick glance toward the doorway Derrick had just disappeared through.

Abraham smiled faintly. “No.”

She exhaled with relief. “Okay, good. That’s good.”

Stella took a sip of soup. “Ugh. It’s because Morris kept denying he was the one from last night.”

“And that’s it?”
