The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 616 She’s My Wife Now, Buddy

Just as Derrick pulled out of the main road from the Dawson residence, his phone rang–it was an unfamiliar number.

He answered. “Hello?”

“It’s me.”

Dan’s voice came through the line, gritted with fury, like he wanted to tear through the screen and rip Derrick apart.

Despite the obvious rage, Dan’s voice was noticeably weak.

Derrick let out a mocking laugh. “Sounds like that girl didn’t hit you hard enough. Already awake?”

His men had reported that Dan had been unconscious in the hospital; yet here he was, awake in no time.

Dan nearly blew a gasket. “You bastard, Derrick. Be straight with me–was it you last night?”

“Was what me?”

You and Marie, getting the marriage certificate yesterday. You didn’t even have a damn wedding. Don’t tell me you spent the night with her!”

Just saying it made Dan’s emotions spiral out of control.

That damned woman Marie, she always seemed like she had a brain.

And yet she actually went for someone like Derrick? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Hearing Dan practically hyperventilate with rage, Derrick chuckled. “She’s my wife now. Sharing a bed seems perfectly legal -don’t you think?”

“So it really was you last night?”

Dan’s teeth ground audibly through the phone; his breathing grew more erratic.

“It was me,” Derrick said coolly. “So what?”

‘Derrick!”

Dan’s roar nearly shattered the signal.

Derrick’s tone didn’t waver. “The man with her last night was me–not you.”

He said it slowly, clearly.

Dan nearly passed out
