The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 Derrick Just Kicked the Damn Door In

Marie said instinctively, “I’m not seeing him.”

Marie pondered. How the heck am I supposed to explain this?

But just as the words left her mouth, Derrick’s furious roar erupted from outside the door, “Marie, get the heck out here! I swear I’ll kill you today! Do you even know what you stole? You’ve got the guts to steal that?”

Stella and Marie went quiet.

Derrick had often come and gone from the Dawson mansion–usually alongside Abraham.

So he knew both the Dawson mansion and the Luke residence like the back of his hand.

And clearly, he’d predicted Marie wouldn’t see him face–to–face, so he’d just come straight to her door.

Hearing Derrick’s fury, Stella quickly pulled out her phone to call Abraham.

The Dawson magnion was huge. There was a chance Abraham didn’t even know Derrick was here yet.

Marie started to panic. “I didn’t take anything! Don’t start accusing me out of nowhere!”

Judging by Derrick’s mood, if she opened that door, he might actually try to kill her.

Derrick barked, “Come out.”

While Stella was dialing, she said to Marie, “If you didn’t take it, shouldn’t you try explaining it to him?”

Marie shot back, “You really think I can explain anything to him right now, looking at how he’s acting!”

Stella went quiet. Yeah… maybe not.

“Didn’t you hear Sebastian on the phone earlier? He said Derrick brought weapons to come after me.”

Stella was stunned;

He brought weapons–just how unhinged was Derrick right now?

Like Marie said, there was no reasoning with someone in that state.

“Then maybe you should bring weapons too?” Stella suggested.

Derrick looked ready to kill Maric, and Sebastian had said he was armed.

So it only made sense for Marie to arm herself too.

Marie was stunned; Fight Derrick here? In this house! If they tore the place up, wouldn’t it be my house getting wrecked? No way–that was a terrible deal.

And then she remembered about Stella.

Marie’s gaze instinctively dropped to Stella’s stomach,

No. She couldn’t act impulsively.

“all your brother. Now.”

If they were going to fight, it couldn’t be here.

“I’m already calling him,” Stella replied.

The call connected.

Abraham’s voice came through. “Head to the medical wing. I’m on my way.”

He’d already mentioned at lunch that Stella should get a check–up.

“Abraham,” Stella said quickly, “Derrick’s here. He’s right outside my sister’s door, and he looks like he’s ready to kill

someone.”

She had to be brief.

Because Derrick had already started pounding on the door–clearly out of his mind.

“I’m coming. Don’t open the door,” Abraham said.

“Okay.”

She hung up just as Derrick’s voice roared from outside again, “Marie, you crazy wench, get the heck out here!”

a went quiet.

Stella

Marie’s mouth twitched.

Even though she’d gone to fight Derrick for Stella’s sake, seeing him in this state had genuinely shaken her.

Who wouldn’t be scared of someone who looked ready to kill you?

Marie was completely stunned..

-You’re go

gonna kill me? The thing’s not even mine! I’m telling you, get lost-”

The door slammed into the wall with a deafening crack.

Stella went quiet.

Derrick stood in the doorway, eyes blazing with rage.

One kick. That was all it took for him to break down the door–that was how far gone he was.

Back when Marie had gone looking for a fight with him, she hadn’t been afraid

But seeing Derrick like this now, even she couldn’t help jumping.

She swallowed instinctively. “What the heckl are you doing? I’m warning you…

Even as she spoke, she stepped in front of Stella, shielding her behind her back.

Derrick lifted his eyes, cold and sharp, giving Marie a single, icy glare.

Marie–who normally feared nothing and no one, who picked fights like she breathed–actually choked on her words at the sheer danger in that look.
