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.

“Wait–Derrick?” Stella blinked, finally noticing him standing there. She clicked her tongue and immediately wished she could take back everything she’d just said.

Oh God…

Technically, Derrick was Marie’s husband. And there were just some things he really didn’t need to hear.

Derrick’s expression was hard, unreadable. He didn’t respond to Stella at all.

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.

“You couldn’t have warned me?” she whispered. “Did I say anything I wasn’t supposed to?”

Abraham smiled faintly. “No.”

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

He handed her a bowl of soup and asked casually, “So what made you think it was Ella?”

The way she and Marie processed things was so different, it caught people off guard.

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

“And that’s it?”

So he denies it, and Marie just believes him?
