The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518 Letting Go

What a complete joke…

The man who used to live in her heart–the one she had guarded their memories with such care–had tried to kill her.

Was that not the biggest joke of all?

Marie took a deep breath. “I went to get something from him.”

“Derrick’s file? You think it’s still worth anything now?”

Marie shrugged. “Yeah, I don’t think it’s worth a damn either. But that lunatic Derrick keeps bugging me for it. He’s crazy and wants to drag me into the madness with him.”

The way Derrick had come at her yesterday–it was like if she didn’t get that file back, he’d never let her go.

Abraham asked, “Did you get it?”

“Nope. I knocked the guy out cold and still didn’t get the file.”

To be fair, Dan was tough.

She’d beaten him within an inch of his life, and he still wouldn’t give it up.

Now Derrick had even more reason to keep pestering her.

Abraham said, “Don’t go looking for him again.”

Marie paused at that, then nodded. “Yeah. I won’t.”

It sounded like a casual answer–but it wasn’t.

It carried a quiet, resolute weight.

A kind of release. A decision to finally let go.

That man had lived in her heart for years. And now, this was where things stood.

So she chose wrong. What else could she do? Hang on and keep humiliating herself?

No thanks. That just wasn’t Marie’s style.

Abraham left.

Marie turned back into the house. Stella was still on the couch.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Stella lying on the couch back, big doe eyes staring up at her.

Clearly waiting.

From Marie’s angle, Stella looked like a guilty little kitten, resting her paws on the couch in the most pitiful way.

That look…

Marie had originally wanted to tease her a little, but seeing her like that, she just couldn’t.

“Alright, I get it. My brother bullied you. What can you do? You’ve got no blood ties in this house.”

She’s just a little sister. How bad could her intentions be?

Marie walked over and gently ruffled Stella’s hair. “If he bullies you again, you tell me and I’ll… ah, never mind.”

If someone else bullied Stella, Marie would throw hands no problem. But Abraham? That was a different story.

Chapter 518 Letting Go

No way she could win that fight.

Looking at Marie’s messy hair, Stella reached out to fix it. “You fought Dan last night?”

Marie nodded. “Yeah, we fought.”

“Did you win?”

That was what she really cared about. But seeing how disheveled Marie looked now…

“That probably wasn’t Dan. That was Derrick.”

“Huh?”

With a yell like that, it had to be bad. Her eyes were full of worry.
