The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 812 Guess Who Got Played Again

No one owed anyone anything; Derrick just thought Marie had gone a little too far this time- Evie was in deep trouble because of her.

She’d dragged him right into Tempest’s mess… and that wasn’t something to take lightly.

“So, Evie wanted a sister–in–law that badly?”

Derrick honestly hadn’t known. Funny how it was always your opponents who knew you best. While the rest of them were still trying to piece things together, Marie seemed to know Evie like the back of her hand.

Especially that one line, “Do you want a sister–in–law or not?”

She’d nailed it, playing perfectly into Evie’s desperation to see his brother get married.

Marie snorted. “She’s so obsessed with having a sister–in–law it’s driving her crazy; saying she wants to marry one herself wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”

Derrick went silent.

Marie had been ecstatic after sweet–talking Evie into it over the phone just moments ago.

She hurried to call Stella. On the other end, Stella happened to be meeting with Melissa.

Yesterday, she’d been clung to by Eddie; today, Melissa had her in the same position.

At that moment, Melissa was clutching Stella’s legs, sobbing with snot and tears streaming down her face.

“I swear I didn’t send that pregnancy test! Please, don’t go after the Bogden family again; if you do, the whole family’s done for!”

Melissa had always been proud–someone like her lowering herself like this, begging outright, had once been unimaginable to Stella.
