The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 582

Chapter 582 A Midnight Raid

Mona was fuming at Marie’s total disregard for basic courtesy.

And especially at this hour–everyone was exhausted and barely alert.

Yet here Marie was, insisting on discussing inheritance in the middle of the night.

“Dad.” Marie said again.

Another “Dad“…

Holt’s chest rose and fell heavily. He closed his eyes and said, “Tell Derrick to come say all this to me himself.”

Marie leaned back and smiled. “You’d better think that through. If Derrick does come back, he’s not just taking this little bit.”

The moment she said it, Mona and Gary both jolted.

Because she was right–if Derrick really did return, he wouldn’t just ask for what Marie had listed.

As a Dawson, Mona and Gary couldn’t be too rude with her either.

In just two hours, both were so furious they could barely speak, hanging their last hopes on Holt.

And Marie made her stance very clear: if she didn’t get what she wanted tonight, she wasn’t leaving.

Eventually…

The Tom household was in an absolute frenzy until nearly 3 a.m. before things finally settled down.

Marie left.

The few people left behind in the Tom family looked like they’d been run over by a truck–worn out and utterly defeated.

This wasn’t like dealing with a woman. Anyone who saw their faces would’ve thought they just negotiated with an entire army.

Holt got up, frail and exhausted, and made his way upstairs. “Ungrateful brat. Total disgrace.”

He left.

Mona and Gary exchanged looks.

Gary clenched his jaw. “Didn’t that bastard Derrick have a thing for that adopted daughter from the Dawson family? Why the hell did he end up marrying that little hellcat instead?”

Yeah, to them, Marie was no daughter–in–law–she was a straight–up nightmare.

Terrible temper, and worse yet, a status so powerful no one could touch her.

Mona’s gaze turned sharp as she stared at the nail polish bottle Marie had slammed on the table.

“I knew he wouldn’t just quietly stay in Pagina. The moment I heard he was back, I knew he was up to something.”

She ground her teeth so hard it was like she wanted to bite Derrick in half.

Gary seethed. “He married that she–devil just to take the whole Tom family for himself.”

This wasn’t just a split.

This was daylight robbery.

Mona spat, “Ruining Kelly wasn’t enough–now he’s after this too…”

Her eyes narrowed, glinting cold.

Gary muttered, “This is just the beginning.”

Marie’s visit tonight was only Round One, and she’d already walked out of there with a fortune.

All in one night, she’d taken the place down like a military raid.

So much money–gone!

Meanwhile, whenever Gary dared spend even a little extra over the years, their father acted like he’d committed treason, calling him a waste.

But Derrick just brings home a wife, and suddenly they’re handing over a fortune?

He only cursed once–and that was it?

The more Gary thought about it, the angrier he got.

While Mona and Gary were fuming inside…

Marie strolled out of the Tom family estate looking refreshed and victorious. Derrick was already waiting for her outside.

When she climbed into the car, Derrick asked, “What took so long?”

“I asked for a big amount. They weren’t willing at first. Took a while to wear them down.”

She was worn out too.

But the thought of suddenly acquiring that much money had her glowing with satisfaction.

Derrick asked, “How much did you get?”

“Everything you had written in that ledger–you bet I got it all.”

Marie grinned proudly.

She’d been mad about the whole sudden marriage all day, the frustration stuck in her chest.

Now, at last, that weight had lifted. She finally felt like herself again.

Derrick looked shocked. “They actually gave you all of it?”
