The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 618

Chapter 608 Trouble Closing In

He tried everything–commands, coaxing… every approach he had. Nothing worked.

But the person feeling the most pressure… was Derrick.

The second he found out Marie had taken people to confront Ella, he came back to the villa looking completely drained.

Ashley and Drax didn’t dare leave. They’d been hiding out with Derrick all day, clinging to him like a lifeline–hoping that when Marie came for payback, he’d take the first hit and they’d avoid getting beat to a pulp.

What they didn’t realize was–when Marie took her people to beat the hell out of Morris, she hadn’t stopped with just him. Everyone around him caught hands too.

And the three of them? They were the ones who deleted the footage and messed with the guest list.

If Marie got wind of that, they were dead meat.

When Derrick came in with that ashen face, Sebastian stared. “Dude, are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost.”

Was it just his imagination? Or did Derrick… actually look afraid?

Fear. That was it. For the first time ever, Derrick–the guy who never feared anything or anyone–actually looked scared. And that was terrifying.

Derrick didn’t answer. He just stepped forward and punched Sebastian straight in the face.

Sebastian staggered back, stunned. “What the h*ll, man?”

“You freaking coward,” Derrick snapped.

Just remembering how Sebastian had dragged him out of the hotel that morning made his blood pressure spike. He was still seething.

Sebastian clutched his face. It was already starting to swell. “What did I do?”

He was already scared Marie would come for them, and now he had to take a beating from Derrick too?

Derrick gritted his teeth. “Marie just went after Ella.”

Sebastian’s eyes widened. “What?”
