The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Marie stood over Dan, looking down at him from above. “From now on, you’d better stay out of my sight; if I see you again, I’ll beat you again.”

It was the same threat as last time. Honestly, even if she didn’t say it, every time Dan ran into her, things never ended well for him. After all, ever since that faked death years ago, in Marie’s eyes, he was nothing short of an unforgivable sinner.

But still…

“Marie, you damn woman!” Dan hissed through gritted teeth.

He barely managed to get that one line out before he couldn’t speak anymore—his whole body hurt like hell, as if every organ had been smashed to pieces.

This is insane. Will this ever get cleared up? It’s beyond ridiculous.

Derrick watched Marie fuming, especially when he saw how badly Dan had been beaten.

He’d always thought of himself as fearless, but now, even his bones tensed up

involuntarily.

So this is how she reacts after finding out she’s pregnant? It was as if she wanted to kill the father of her child.

Derrick stayed silent.

Watching Marie beat up Dan was already… complicated enough; now, it was even worse.

After that, Derrick and Marie left together.

Dan, meanwhile, struggled to push himself up off the ground. One of the bodyguards tried to help him, but he barked, “Get lost!”

He was burning with fury. That damn woman… Is she completely unreasonable now? Can’t she listen to anyone? Do I look like the kind of guy who sleeps with someone and doesn’t take responsibility?
