The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Who the Hell Records That!

That “I do” was firm and loud.

Anyone hearing it might’ve thought Marie had been secretly in love with Derrick for years and was finally getting her wish.

When the recording played, Marie was completely stunned… No way. This guy actually recorded that?

If he wasn’t working as a spy, then what a waste of talent.

After the recording ended, Evelyn turned to Marie. “So you agreed?”

“No, I-”

“Sounded pretty happy

nonstop.

Who the hell thinks to record something at a time like that?”

Seriously, who does that? Normal people wouldn’t even think of it.

“But Derrick did…”

Marie scowled. “That bastard.”

Ugh, she was fuming.

Stella nodded. “You said it yourself. He’s shameless. Who knows what he recorded that for?”

At that, Marie’s face darkened again.

Exactly. What was Derrick planning with that recording?

Stella guessed, “Trying to blackmail my brother?”

Marie clapped her hands. “Right! He and Abraham were in the study talking at the time–he must’ve been recording Abraham.”

That had to be it.

She’d walked in and seen just Derrick and Abraham in the study. What else could it be?

Hearing that, Stella paused.

Then she picked up her phone. “I’m calling Abraham.”

What the hell was Derrick up to? Recording while talking to Abraham?

That wasn’t something a normal person would do.

The call went through quickly.

“Is the wedding dress here?” Abraham asked.

Not yet.

Abraham chuckled. “Then you miss me already? I’ve only been gone thirty minutes.”

Stella quickly turned away and cupped the phone. “No, that’s not it.”

“Oh? Then what is it, Stella?”

On the other end, Abraham’s gaze turned cold behind his gold–rimmed glasses.

“He recorded me?”

So, you’re tired of living well in Falvaria? Back in Paggina, the guy had been desperate to return.

Blackmail him?

That would mean Derrick had a death wish.

Stella added, “Still, be careful around him. Even if he’s smoothed things over with you and Mom, Marie and I don’t buy it.”

Abraham had said Derrick was a good person.

But Stella didn’t believe that. Neither did Marie.

That mess all those years ago–Derrick might’ve made it sound reasonable, and some of it even added up. But after so long, the details were fuzzy.

Abraham replied, “I know.”

“Okay, I’ll hang up. Go back to work.”

“Mm.”

After hanging up, Abraham’s eyes were icy. He took off his glasses and rubbed his aching temples. “Have all of Derrick’s claims been verified?”

Abel nodded. “All of them. They check out.”

Abraham didn’t respond. He slid his glasses back on, but the chill in his eyes lingered.

Abel hesitated, then asked, “Are we really going to let Ms. Marie marry Mr. Derrick?”

“Marie’s got her own mind. She’ll run Derrick straight into a nervous breakdown.”

At that, Abel’s mouth twitched.

No lies detected.

No one knew what Derrick was really planning by suddenly proposing to Marie.

But the man had clearly forgotten one thing–Marie and Evie were Falvaria’s most dangerous women. Period.
