But now who was going to explain to her that Tessa had been in Victor’s hands the whole time -and her own brother had known! Her own brother…

Marie was livid; she tore into Abraham over the phone without mercy.

“Where’s Derrick?” Abraham asked.

“Why are you asking about Derrick? You’re the one who screwed up, and now you want to drag Derrick into it? Since when does Derrick owe you anything?”

The second Abraham mentioned Derrick, Marie snapped even harder.

Sitting across from her, Derrick heard her words and his eyes lit up instantly. She was… defending him in front of Abraham.

“Put Derrick on the phone,” Abraham said.

“No need for Derrick. What, you think the mess you made is something Derrick has to explain for you? Abraham, you—”

“Marie!”

Abraham cut her off before she could finish.

“You can’t even apologize, and you’re yelling at me?”

Her fury spiked higher; tears spilled before she could stop them.

She almost never cried. Yet here she was–driven to tears by Abraham. Derrick’s face, which had just brightened a moment ago, darkened again.

“You’ve got no sense,” Abraham said coldly. “And you still expect an apology?”

“What? Do you even hear yourself? Did you really just say I’ve got no sense?”
