The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

She Took 878 Summary

In this chapter, Sebastian finds himself in a frustrating predicament after being left stranded outside a private airport, unable to get his car in or out. Derrick, who earlier had been taken away by Sebastian and Drax, is now caught in the middle of tension between Marie and Sebastian. Despite Marie’s sharp anger and physical pinching, Derrick tries to keep the peace, though his words reveal a sense of defeat. When Sebastian calls Derrick urgently for help, Derrick responds coldly, blaming Sebastian for the situation and showing little sympathy.

Sebastian is left feeling abandoned and bitter, realizing that Derrick is unsupportive and distant, despite their brotherly bond. His frustration grows as he contemplates how Derrick had once been protected from Marie’s wrath only to be discarded now. This leaves Sebastian standing alone in the cold, angry and resentful. Meanwhile, a stranger overhears Sebastian’s muttered insult about Marie, adding an element of unexpected tension.

At the same time, Derrick receives a tense call from Dan, who is still recovering from a recent beating inflicted by Marie. Dan demands answers and resolution, fearing Marie’s continued aggression. Derrick reassures Dan firmly that Marie will no longer harm him, explaining that Marie now believes the child is Derrick’s, which has shifted her behavior. As Derrick speaks, he holds Marie’s hand tightly, signaling a complex and strained dynamic between them.

Overall, the chapter highlights the strained relationships and mounting conflicts among Sebastian, Derrick, Marie, and Dan, with emotions running high and loyalties tested. Derrick’s attempts to mediate and calm the situation only underscore the underlying tension and unresolved issues among the characters.

Chapter 878: Sebastian’s Unluckiest Day Ever

Back then, when Sebastian and Drax had hauled Derrick away, everything had gone surprisingly smoothly—so much so that even Derrick himself was taken aback. Had it been left solely to his own stubborn will, he would never have budged; no one could have forced him to leave.

“I swear, I could kill you,” Marie snapped sharply, her voice crackling with frustration.

Derrick let out a tired, almost resigned laugh. “Fine, fine—after the baby’s born, you can murder me all you want.”

At that moment, no matter what Marie said, Derrick did his best to soothe her, trying to keep the peace.

Yet, there was something off about the way he muttered, “do whatever you want.” It didn’t sound genuine—it sounded defeated.

Marie’s anger flared again. Without hesitation, she grabbed his waist and pinched hard, twisting with a sharp, almost vicious motion.

“Ugh…” Derrick hissed, his face tightening in pain.

Just then, Derrick’s phone buzzed. He caught Marie’s slender wrist before she could react.

“Be good,” he said quietly, his tone firm but gentle. “I have to take this call.”

He pried her hand away carefully. “We’ll settle this behind closed doors when we get home. There are people around now.”

He tried to calm her down, coaxing her with soft words.

Meanwhile, the driver up front had already tuned them out completely. No sane person would bother listening to the couple’s bickering. The divider between the front and back seats had been raised long ago.
