Chapter 493 I’m Doing This Just to Ruin You
“What the heck is going on?”
Derrick ground his teeth.
Even though he knew he couldn’t win against Abraham, his clenched fists still itched to punch that face in
July forward.
Abraham laced his fingers together and rested them on the desk, his body leaning slightly
“They were drunk out of their minds. And you, a sober adult, actually took their drunken ramblings seriously?”
Derrick went silent.
His breath hitched again.
Flashes of that night surfaced in his mind–and he had to admit, Abraham had a point.
Those words had been said when his father and Abraham were completely wasted.
“So what? Just because they were drunk doesn’t mean they weren’t elders.”
Derrick snapped.
Whether or not Abraham took the engagement seriously, he did. He, Derrick, had always taken it seriously.
Abraham chuckled coldly. “Your father–does he even count as an elder anymore?”
Derrick was stunned.

In that moment, every emotion on his face shattered completely. That old scumbag, what kind of elder was he even qualified to be?
Abraham scoffed. “If I’m not mistaken, didn’t you sever lies with Mr. Sebastian two years ago?”
“You’ve been going around telling everyone you’re not part of the Tom family.”
Derrick spat back, “I’m not part of the Tom family, but I am Derrick. Stella is my fiancee.”
“And what exactly are you trying to prove with that declaration?
Derrick froze
Abraham narrowed his eyes. “Nothing. You’ll get nothing.”
Those words hit hard. Derrick’s anger snapped his last thread of reason. “I don’t care. She’s mine–you have to give her back.”
That “give her back” sounded like pure fury, but if one listened closely, there was something else there too–something almost like wounded pride.
Ever since that night between the elders, he’d believed Stella belonged to him. And now this unreasonable man shows up and tries to steal her away?
When logic failed, Derrick resorted to pure, stubborn denial. Truthfully, he’d always been like this.
That brar Stella–three years ago, she’d misunderstood everything, and now she had the nerve to blame him too.
le’d sent her that text from a second phone–as if she was too blind to notice it.
Abraham’s gaze grew colder; he lifted his eyelids slightly. “Give her back?”
Derrick said, “Yes. She’s mine. You’re going to give her back to me–whatever it takes.”
When it came to Stella. Derrick was now completely inflexible; nothing anyone said could sway him.

Chapter 493 I’m Doing This Just to Ruin You:
Abraham let t out a cold laugh and crushed his cigarette into the ashtray.
“Just now, I noticed–your hands seemed to be on Marie’s chest, weren’t they?”
Derrick’s mouth twitched “What are you getting at?”
Just now?
What had happened earlier–had he seen that wrong? With the way things were going, it wasn’t even like that, was it?
Abraham said, “Aren’t you going to take responsibility”
Derrick froze. Take responsibility? What the heck was he even talking about? Was he serious?
Facing Abraham’s dead–serious expression, Derrick’s eyelid gave a violent twitch. “Hey–do you even know why I went to find Marie today? She stole something from me.”
“Abraham, I’m warning you. Don’t be shameless. Pulling tricks like this? Have you no pride?”
He was here to get his stuff back from Marie–and to get Star back from Abraham.
And now Abraham was hitting him with this crap.
Dan was out of the picture now, so he was just going to force Marie onto him, Derrick acting like that was perfectly normal
Abraham lit another cigarette. “But you really did touch her. Marie is still a girl; a girl’s reputation matters…
The way he called her Marie made it sound like she was some fragile little thing.
Derrick exploded. “A girl? Abraham, you’re saying Marie’s a woman? You dare say that with a straight face?”
