Chapter 488 He’s Coming With Weapons
Stella was stunned. Just as Marie was about to say something else, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen, and without hesitation, hung up after just one look.
But the phone rang again the nextsecond.
Stella glanced over. The name displayed was Sebastiant That was Derrick’s cousin, toarnti?
Marie, clearly annoyed, picked up. “What?”
“Marie, you’ve gotta run–my brother’s on his way to findyou.”
Marie blinked. “What the heck?”
Stella was stunned.
She froze at the voice on the other end of the call.
What did Sebastian just say? Derrick was coming after Marie
Marie’s mouth twitched;sheinstinctively glanced at Stella sitting beside her. “Shouldn’t he be coming after Star? Why’s he after me? Shouldn’t you be telling Star to run?”
After all, here in Falvaria, Derrick was still Stella’s fiance in name.
Now that she’d returned and even fallen in love with Abraham, of course Derrick would lose his mind.
Marie thought back to two days ago, when Derrick had gone to see her mother–her mother had looked serious afterward.
From what she gathered, it seemed like Derrickwasn’tplanningto give up the engagement with Stella.
Ugh…
The whole thing was a total mess.
So from Marie’s perspective, if Derrick was looking for anyone right now, it had to be Stella to settle the score.
“No, he’s definitely after you.”
Mariewasstunned. Mér
“What’d I do to him? Because I beat him up? He deserved that, didn’t he?What, did I injure him or something?”
Clearly, Marie didn’t get what Sebastian meant. I’m not that strong, right?
With Derrick’s skills, she hadn’t even gotten the upperhandwhen they fought.
So to claim she’d done something serious to him? That was impossible.
Sebastian said, “No, it’s that a document went missing… Ah, he’s totally losing it right now and he’s coming for you. You need to hide,fast!”
Marie blinked. “Huh?”
“Move it, he’s even bringing weapons.”
Marie was stunned. He’s coming after me with trapons? What the heck kind of document did that scumbag lose!
From what Sebastian was saying, Derrick was ready to risk it all.
“I didn’t take anything
Marie was completely dumbfounded. When she went to find Derrick, it was just for a fight–she really didn’t take anything

#hy was this making me look like a thief?
Annoyed, Marie asked, “When did it go missing?”
She had gone to see him afewtimesthesepastfew days.
Sebastian replied, “Time–wise, it should’ve been four daysago—your first dayback”
Marie shot back. “Then itwasn’tme. I definitely didn’t take it.”
“It’s already in Dan’s hands.”
Marie was stunned. What the heck? The document ended up with Dani
And she’d been in Frapucu just days ago….
She had even gone to Keres Island with Dan.
After hearing Derrick was returning to Falvaria, she’d gotten so pissed she followed along
Then, because of the whole Dawson family situation, she went to pick a fight with Derrick.
Which meant–right after she left Dan’s side, she’d gone to confront Derrick, and then Derricklostthe document?
And now that document was in Dan’s hands? Marie’s mindwasspinning.
And then it hit her.
Givenhow all the timing lined up… she had no way to explain herself now, even if she was innocent. Damn that useless Dan- why the heck would he go after something Derrick had?
Sebastian said, “You really need to hide–he’s out for blood. If you don’t give him that document today, he’s seriously going to kill you.”
Marie was stunned. Kill me? I didn’t even take the damn thing! Goddammit–where am I supposed to go to argue my innocence note? Sebastian said a few more things before finally hanging up. Marie turned to look at Stella.
Stella was already watching her.
Mariesaid, “I didn’t take it.”
Stella nodded. “Yeah. I believe you.”
She didn’t even hesitate–just nodded, unconditionally trusting her.
Stella knew exactly what kind of person Marie was.
Even if Dan was treating her like trash now, even back when he was good to her, she’d never do something this stupid. Marie could love someone, but she’d never compromise her principles for a man.
And more importantly, even if she had done something,she’d be open and direct about it. She would never stoop to stealing
In secret.
JustasStellaandMarie were about to say something else, a knock came at the door. The butler’s voice came f
from outside.
“Miss

“Mr. Derrick is here. He says

Since Derrick had explained what really happened three years ago, her mother hadn’t forbidden him from coming
anymore.
After all, the two families had been close for generations.
And back then, Derrick had actually intended to help the Dawson family–things had just spiraled out of control by accident.
If anything, he was still owed a debt of gratitude from the Dawsonfamily…
