The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 610 Breaking Point

The slaps didn’t stop. One after another, fast and brutal, until everything blurred. Ella’s mind went blank–just pain, heat, and ringing in her ears.

It hadn’t even been ten minutes.

Her hair was a tangled mess, blood was smeared around her nose and mouth, and she was down on her knees.

Even if she was seething inside, furious enough to want to tear Marie apart, she was outnumbered. It was just her—one woman, alone–and outside that door stood at least a dozen of Marie’s bodyguards.

One wrong word, and she was dead.

Marie sat on the sofa like she owned the room–poised, composed, and every bit the queen of the chaos she’d created.

Then, without a word, she picked up Ella’s phone and dialed Morris’s number.

It wasn’t Morris who answered–it was his assistant, Dennis.

“Ms. Ella?” Dennis greeted politely.

“It’s Marie,” she said coldly.

The line went silent for a beat. Then Dennis fumbled his words. “Ms. Marie? Why are you calling from Ms. Ella’s number?”

It wasn’t that Dennis was timid–he just knew exactly who he was dealing with.

Marie had just put Morris in the ICU. She’d become infamous overnight–everyone on Morris’s team now thought of her as the kind of woman who didn’t bluff.

She was the type of woman you absolutely didn’t want to cross.

Marie’s voice didn’t waver. “Where’s Morris?”

Dennis hesitated. “He’s still unconscious. You knocked him out cold.”

And just like that, his tone shifted–tight with judgment. Truthfully, he was stunned. What the hell is this woman made of? And more importantly, how the hell did Mr. Morris ever fall for someone like her?

Marie laughed, a cold, bitter sound. “Judging by your tone, you think I overreacted?”

Dennis replied stiffly, “Mr. Morris has always cared deeply for you.”

Marie fell quiet.

Then, slowly, she laughed again. A cruel, almost mocking laugh. Her gaze shifted to Ella, still crumpled on the floor, and Ella’s face turned pale.

Hearing Dennis claim Morris “cared deeply” for her? That was the biggest joke of all.

“Clearly, you people have no idea what ‘caring‘ means.”

Caring? He faked his death.
