Derrick lifted the glass of water in front of him, took a sip, and asked, “Still want spicy soup?”

Marie went quiet.

“Of course I do! I have to eat!”

She bit out the words through clenched teeth. The way she said it, it was as if the soup boiling in the pot was Victor himself; in her mind, wasn’t that exactly who it was?

Truthfully, she really did wish she could throw Victor in a pot and cook him alive.

In her rage, Marie ordered a whole table full of dishes.

After the waiter left, she grabbed her water glass and gulped down several big mouthfuls. “Hey, tell me how can someone be so shameless? Didn’t I call him before?”

Derrick nodded. “Yeah, you did.”

Back then Derrick had already suspected Tessa was with Victor.

So he’d told Marie to call Victor and ask directly if Tessa was with him. And what had Victor said then?

He hadn’t said anything at all; instead, he’d smothered her with that suffocatingly dangerous aura of his until she backed off.

And Marie had been so terrified…

She didn’t even want to think about it.

“Damn it, if I hadn’t been worried about his relationship with my brother, I never would’ve swallowed that crap!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Who was going to explain to her what the heck was going on?

Tessa had been taken by Victor!
