The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762 Don’t You Dare Steal Stella

Abraham’s lips pressed into a thin line. “What?”

“Come on, that’s not cool,” Marie said. “Why’d you take her? What are you planning?”

She hesitated. “Wait, don’t tell me you’ve got a thing for Tessa?”

Abraham went quiet.

“I’m telling you right now, that’s not happening!” Marie blurted. “She’s Stella’s best friend. If you try something, Stella and I will both come after you.”

Her head was spinning. She couldn’t imagine why Abraham would take Tessa; but Derrick had sounded so sure.

And she really was worried…

Stella had been missing for three years once before, and she had nearly burned herself out searching.

If this ended with Tessa running away out of anger, where would she even start looking?

Just the thought made her shudder.

But when Abraham heard her wild guess, his face went black.

Marie panicked at his silence. “Brother.”

“I’ve realized something,” Abraham said, his voice low. “You marrying Derrick was a complete mistake.”

“Huh?” Marie froze.

What did this have to do with her and Derrick?

“His brain’s never worked right; now he’s infected you too.”

“I wasn’t-”

Before she could finish, Abraham hung up.

Marie sat there staring at the phone, stunned. Then she glanced at Derrick, who was smoking beside her.

“What did he say?” Derrick asked.

“He said your brain’s broken… and you infected me.”

Derrick went quiet.

His face, already dark, sank even further. That Abraham, after pulling this stunt, he had the nerve to say they were the ones with broken brains?

With the way he schemed, even the sharpest mind wouldn’t be able to keep up!

Derrick was livid all over again.

“Was it really my brother who took her?” Marie asked.

“Did he deny it?” Derrick countered.

She shook her head.

“Then there’s your answer.”

If he didn’t deny it, who else could it be?

“But he didn’t deny it and he insulted us,” Marie protested.

That had to mean they were wrong, right? Otherwise why lash out?

Her brain felt fried; the chaos of the past weeks had burned her circuits.

“She’s definitely with him,” Derrick said.

“Why are you so sure?”

She needed a reason–something solid enough to convince herself. Abraham taking someone without even telling his own sister just didn’t add up.

“Because,” Derrick said, “your little sister Stella isn’t worried anymore.”

Marie went quiet.

Not… worried?

Wait.

Her mind flashed back to Stella’s words–telling her not to stress, assuring her that Tessa would be fine.

Right… that wasn’t normal.

Chapter 762 Don’t You Dare Steal Stella

When Tessa first disappeared, Stella had cried on the phone nonstop.

Then suddenly, no more tears; suddenly she was comforting her?

Marie turned her head stiffly toward Derrick, blinking over and over.

“Remember now?” Derrick asked.

“….” Marie’s lips twitched.

But…

“Then why wouldn’t she tell me?”

Her darling Stella–Marie had treated her like a treasure, and in return Stella treated her like a fool?

Marie’s brain short–circuited; she stared at Derrick in silence, but there was a storm brewing in her eyes.

Derrick reached over, pinching her cheek with a crooked smile that was half indulgence, half mockery. “Isn’t it funny? We’ve all been played by your brother.”

He said it with the kind of laughter that came from sheer fury.

Played…

The word landed like a punch to the gut; her emotions surged so wildly she couldn’t even describe them.
