Chapter 642 The One Who Took the Fall
Just thinking about how savage Marie had looked that day made Dan’s chest tighten again.
Especially since everyone who’d been playing cards with him got dragged into it too.
Dennis said, “She only hit you because she happened to be in Falvaria that day. Just wait till she comes back -she’ll definitely go after Mr. Derrick. And at least she had some feelings for you before, so she held back. She won’t do the same for Mr. Derrick.”
He really shouldn’t have brought up the word feelings.
As soon as Dennis mentioned it, Dan’s teeth ground together in fury. “You think she looked like someone who still had feelings for me that day?”
Was that what feelings looked like?
She had been like some emotionless predator–cold, brutal, completely heartless.
If that woman had even a sliver of affection for him left, she never would’ve beaten him into the hospital.
Dennis heard the rage in Dan’s voice.
He paused, then said, “Ms. Dawson already knows about how you faked your death and disappeared back then.”
Tessa went still.
The moment she heard that, her eyes lit up.
Whoa…
Faked his death?
That’s juicy. Trash man’s got some bold moves.
Dan also fell silent.
The air in the hospital room suddenly grew heavy, the shadows deepening across Dan’s face.
Seething with rage, he picked up the phone and called Derrick again.
Dan was especially furious that Marie refused to believe it had been Derrick who slept with her.
As soon as the call connected, Derrick didn’t even wait for Dan to speak.
“Dan, what the hell is wrong with you?”
“Oh, wait–I forgot. You are messed up. Only someone with serious brain damage would fake their own death like that.”
Dan went quiet.
Why did Derrick, a grown man, have a mouth as venomous as a woman’s?
Marie had been cursing him out constantly lately, and now even Derrick was rubbing it in?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Dan got.
Especially thinking about how Marie and Derrick had gotten married–right under his nose, no less.
Just thinking about it made his blood boil.
Dan ground his teeth. “Do you have the balls to say it to her face? If you dare tell her yourself, I’ll actually admit you’re a real man.”
He’d figured it out.
No matter how many times he told Marie it had been Derrick that night, she just wouldn’t believe him.
And that’s probably why Derrick hadn’t been beaten up–because she didn’t believe it.
She actually… trusted Derrick that much?
That made Dan even more furious.
Derrick chuckled. “Who says I didn’t tell her?”
Dan froze. “You told her?”

But now Derrick had confessed to her directly, and she still thought he was just covering for Dan?
Jesus Christ, he was the one getting blamed here!
