When Sebastian saw the tourniquets wrapped around Dan’s waist and head, he nearly burst out laughing.

Andy had been by Dan’s side the whole time; seeing him get beaten up yesterday and again today, he couldn’t help but say, “If you and Marie don’t clear up this misunderstanding soon, you’re basically living on borrowed time!”

The dangerous. Dan grew even angrier. “You think I don’t want to clear it up? I’ve told her everything, but she won’t believe a damn word!”

Andy sighed. “That’s because you’ve already lost all credibility with her. Completely.”

Dan went quiet.

From outside the door, Sebastian snorted. “Exactly.”

He wasn’t wrong–Dan’s credibility had hit rock bottom. The man had even faked his own death once; how was Marie supposed to believe anything he said now?

Still, Sebastian couldn’t help but admit that Marie was fierce–really fierce. Not the kind of woman anyone should mess with unless they had a death wish.

Eventually, Sebastian returned with orange juice and kiwi juice for Marie; he even grabbed her breakfast. She’d left the house so early, she probably hadn’t eaten a thing.

When Sebastian quietly mentioned to Derrick just how miserably Dan had been beaten, Derrick instinctively glanced at Marie, who was calmly eating her breakfast.

She’s really hungry. He thought.

After all, she’d spent the entire morning tracking Dan down and even beating him up. The same woman who’d been nauseous for days was now eating just fine, no trace of discomfort on her face.

Derrick sighed. “What can I do? I tell her the truth, and she still doesn’t believe me.”

Sebastian fell silent.

If Dan had heard that, he’d probably cough up blood on the spot.

Honestly, after that night, Dan had already coughed up plenty.

It didn’t matter what he said–Marie didn’t believe him.
