The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

She Took 881 Summary

In the chapter titled “She Took 881,” the tension between the characters escalates as Stella and Marie discuss Derrick and Eddie’s unpredictable behavior. Stella reflects on Derrick’s calm demeanor, contrasting it with Marie’s observations of his smugness during a previous encounter. Their conversation reveals the underlying chaos in their lives, particularly concerning the threat posed by Reese and Mona, who seem to have sinister intentions towards Stella.

As the plot unfolds, Stella shares her concerns about Reese’s resemblance to her, suggesting that it could be part of a dangerous plot to replace her in Abraham’s life. Marie quickly grasps the gravity of the situation, realizing that if anything were to happen to Stella during childbirth, Reese could easily step in as a substitute. This realization fuels Marie’s anger and determination to confront Reese and Mona, whom she views as a threat to Stella’s safety and happiness.

Marie’s fierce loyalty to Stella shines through as she vows to help her deal with Reese and Mona directly, abandoning any pretense of civility. However, Stella urges caution, suggesting they should fight back in a more strategic way rather than resorting to outright confrontation. This shift in Stella’s attitude surprises Marie, who begins to appreciate her friend’s newfound resolve. Together, they devise a plan to outsmart their adversaries, indicating a turning point in their approach to the challenges they face.

The chapter concludes with Marie fully committing to supporting Stella, while the subplot involving Dan highlights the emotional turmoil and confusion he experiences as he is left out of the unfolding drama. The dynamics among the characters illustrate themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of navigating relationships under pressure.

“Yeah, I ran back,” Stella said.

Marie fell silent. Ran back… Well, that did sound like something Eddie would do.

He might seem loud and harmless most of the time, but if he was pushed too far, he’d do just about anything.

When Derrick heard Abraham upstairs, he glanced at Marie. “I’m going up.”

Men always had endless things to talk about.

Stella watched Derrick’s back as he went up the stairs, then turned to Marie. “He seems a lot calmer now, doesn’t he?”

Honestly, in Stella’s mind, Derrick and Eddie were practically cut from the same cloth.

Sometimes the things that came out of their mouths were just… well, enough to make anyone’s head spin.

“Calmer?” Marie snorted. “You didn’t see how smug he looked in the car earlier.”

Stella blinked in surprise.

“Dan was about to lose his mind because of him,” Marie added.

Stella couldn’t help but laugh.

“Okay, fine,” she said between chuckles. “I take back what I said about him being calm.”

Calm? That word didn’t belong anywhere near Derrick. The man was as unreliable as they came; back when her brother was trying to hunt him down, even then, Derrick couldn’t explain himself clearly.

And now, with this whole situation involving Dan…
