And it wasn’t just a simple beating—she had come prepared with reinforcements. The assault was merciless, leaving no doubt about her resolve.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking,” Derrick quickly interrupted, his voice tinged with unease. “Anyway, things really escalated that night.”

“Escalated” was an understatement.

From the perspective of Sebastian, Lancelot, and Ashley, the whole ordeal had been nothing short of terrifying.

Meanwhile, Dan sat slumped inside the car, his entire body throbbing with pain. “That damn woman!” he growled, his voice low and bitter. “I hope when she finds out it was Derrick, she tears that bastard apart!”

Conan, who was behind the wheel, remained silent for a moment, processing the tension in the air.

“Beat the crap out of Mr. Derrick?” he finally muttered, skepticism lacing his tone. “I doubt that’ll happen.”

His words struck Dan like a punch straight to the gut.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Dan snapped, eyes narrowing. “You doubt it?”

“They’re married,” Conan stated flatly, as if that explained everything.

A heavy silence fell between them.

“Married couples sleep together, have kids—that’s normal, right? So why would she want to hurt Mr. Derrick?” Dan pressed, confusion and frustration bubbling up inside him.

More silence answered his question.

Each word from Conan felt like a blow, harder than any fist.
