The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526 You’re Asking Me to Compensate You Now?

They were really demanding compensation?

Marie was honestly curious to terms they’d come up with.

She’d seen some wild thing, ear what kind of outrageous

but this–this was on another level.

Cynn said calmly, “As for compensation, that’s up to our boss. Ms. Maric, would you mind coming with us?”

Kale quickly stepped in. “I don’t think that’s appropriate, especially since they’re here to get married. Don’t you think it’s a little out of line to take her away now?”

Derrick narrowed his eyes at Cynn, danger flashing beneath the surface.

Marie looked straight at Derrick. “We’re getting married, right? So, are you letting me go or not?”

Derrick’s expression darkened.

This woman really knew how to stir the pot. No wonder she’d gotten involved with Dan in the first place.

Look at that smug mouth of hers…

“You trying to drag me into your mess with Dan?”

Marie said flatly, “You’re marrying me, aren’t you? My mess is your mess.”

Go on, isn’t this what you wanted?

Derrick let out a low, dangerous laugh.

He glanced coldly at Cynn. “My wife isn’t going anywhere with you.”

The words “my wife” came through clenched teeth.

Cynn’s face sank. He had a Bluetooth earpiece in, and whatever he was hearing clearly made his expression grow even colder.

“In that case, Ms. Marie, don’t blame us for what happens next.”

With that, he pulled out a… gun.

Wait, seriously?

So much effort had gone into stopping Derrick from causing a scene, and now these people were the ones pulling this crap?

The entire room erupted.

Dan’s three men were clearly well–trained, and even with Derrick personally present, the fight that broke out was absolute chaos.

Marie cursed under her breath./”Bastards. All of them.”

Derrick was a bastard–clearly. But Dan?

Apparently, just as bad.

They throw hands at the drop of a hat. Seriously, what the hell did I ever see in that guy?

Meanwhile, Stella and Abraham were on the way back to the Luke family estate. She’d actually slept well the night before.

At the moment, she was on the phone with Tessa.

“I checked earlier,” Stella said. “The previous female leader of Ashen Pact was indeed named Diana, and she was just recently taken back by the current boss. But we still haven’t confirmed if she’s your mom.”

She’d tried calling her own contacts, but they didn’t have any real info.

Which made sense–Ashen Pact wasn’t exactly the kind of place where you could just call and ask for details.

She’d only learned this much through Abraham.

So the situation was looking complicated.

“Victor told me the same thing,” Tessa said. “Stella, you have to help me confirm this.”

Sure, the name could’ve been a coincidence–but wasn’t this just too much of a coincidence?

Her mom was missing. Ashen Pact’s former female boss had just been recaptured.

Tessa was spiraling.

“What am I supposed to do, Stella? I’m freaking out.”

She’d tried calling her mom, but the number wasn’t going through at all.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt sure–her

“Don’t panic,” Stella said. “I’ll keep checking on it.”

mom had to be the one they’d taken back.

If the Diana Ashen Pact took back really was Tessa’s mother, then this had to be dealt with immediately.

“Stella, I’m counting on you. You’re all I’ve got.”

Tessa sounded anxious–especially since her time around Victor had her completely on edge. She could barely even be in the same room with the guy.

She always felt like she was screwing things up somehow.

“I know,” Stella said gently.

She calmed her down a bit more before ending the call.

Then she turned to Abraham.

He already knew what was on her mind. He reached over and gently ruffled her hair, “Don’t worry, Victor s handling it.”
