She Took 884

In the chapter titled “She Took 884,” Marie finds herself caught in a heated confrontation with Dan, who is furious about her perceived favoritism towards Derrick and Sebastian. After listening to Stella’s plan to disrupt Mona and Reese’s comfortable lives, Marie receives a call from Dan, who accuses her of not taking revenge on Derrick and Sebastian as she did with him. This call quickly escalates into a bitter argument, revealing Dan’s deep resentment and feelings of betrayal regarding the damage Marie has caused him and his business, Ashen Pact. Marie, feeling cornered by Dan’s accusations, firmly denies any bias and expresses disbelief at his drunken outburst.

As the conversation continues, Dan’s anger intensifies, and he accuses Marie of personal vendetta, claiming she has taken things from him to settle scores. Marie, frustrated and dismissive, hangs up on him and blocks his number, refusing to entertain his demands for the return of his belongings. This moment highlights Marie’s determination and unwillingness to back down, despite Dan’s emotional turmoil. She views his threats as laughable, reinforcing her stance that she won’t give back what she fought hard to obtain.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Eddie, who is discussing plans to handle the Galen situation with Abraham. Derrick, who joins them, mocks Eddie’s previous reluctance to take action, which only serves to heighten Eddie’s frustration. Their banter reveals the underlying camaraderie and tension among the characters, with Derrick teasing Eddie about his personal life and Abraham adding to the mix with his serious yet humorous observations. Eddie’s exasperation grows as he feels increasingly isolated in his desire to focus on the task at hand, while his friends seem more interested in his romantic prospects than the impending situation with Galen.

The interactions between Eddie, Derrick, and Abraham showcase a blend of humor and tension, providing a contrast to the serious confrontation between Marie and Dan. Eddie’s struggle to maintain his focus amidst the teasing reflects his inner conflict, as he grapples with the expectations of his friends and his own responsibilities. The chapter concludes with a glimpse into Eddie’s family dynamics, particularly the pressure he faces from his sister, Evie, regarding marriage, adding another layer to his character’s journey. Overall, the chapter weaves together themes of conflict, loyalty, and the complexities of relationships, setting the stage for further developments.

r 884 Eddie Needs a Shower

Marie had just finished listening to Stella explain her plan to strike back at Mona and Reese. She was still smiling in satisfaction.

“This is good. Since they’re enjoying their nice little lives, let’s shake things up for them a bit.”

Stella nodded. “Mona’s been living quite comfortably these past few years as Mrs. Tom.”

Just as she said that, Marie’s phone started ringing.

She answered. “Hello?”

“You didn’t hit Derrick?”

Dan’s voice came through the line, tight with fury. Marie arched a brow, glanced at Stella beside her, then stood and stepped aside to take the call. .

Before she could reply, Dan went on, practically grinding his teeth. “You didn’t hit Sebastian either, did you? You didn’t hit a single person around him!”

Marie frowned. “And what does that have to do with you?”

“You beat me half to death! You put my men in the hospital! But now that you know it was Derrick, you just grabbed him a few times? And Sebastian–you let him off with a forty–mile walk?”

Marie froze for a moment.

“Even if you’re biased,” Dan snapped, “there’s got to be a damn limit!”

At that, Marie’s mouth twitched. “Biased? You think I’m playing favorites?”

Was he even listening to himself?

“Yeah,” Dan slurred, his words laced with alcohol and resentment. “You’re biased toward Derrick. Admit it–when you found out it was him, weren’t you relieved? Weren’t you happy it wasn’t me?”

Each word was an accusation, drunk and sharp; Marie hadn’t realized he’d been drinking, so the tirade just left her baffled.

“You’re insane,” she said flatly.

That single word sent Dan over the edge.

“Yeah, I’m insane!” he shouted. “Look at what you’ve done to me! Don’t you dare tell me that taking all that stuff from Ashen Pact wasn’t personal! You went after me just to settle your own

score!”

“I never even did anything to you–and you and Derrick still stole half my things! You should both give them back!”

Dan was completely livid now.

Just thinking about how much damage Marie had caused him these past few weeks–how badly Ashen Pact had suffered–made his blood boil.

And with Manny no longer part of the Morris family, all that should’ve been his. He wanted everything back.

Marie sighed. “You’ve really lost it. Stop imagining things.”

Then she hung up–and swiftly blocked the number, which she figured belonged to one of Dan’s lackeys.

Marie blocked it without hesitation. What a joke. Does he actually think I’m giving back what I took? That stuff was a pain to get in the first place. Keep dreaming.

Upstairs, Eddie was telling Abraham that he was heading to Yalvoria to take care of the Galen situation.

Derrick, who had just come in, sat down beside him.

When he heard Eddie’s words, he let out a snort. “Well, look at you. Finally grew a brain?”

Abraham went quiet. Eddie went quiet. Content originally comes from find✦novel.net

Then Eddie shot Derrick a glare sharp enough to cut glass.

If looks could kill, Derrick would’ve been gone right there.

Derrick coughed twice. “What? You used to whine and complain about doing anything. Everything was too much work, or beneath you.”

That did it–Eddie’s mood dropped ten degrees.

“Who are you calling a whiner?” he snapped.

Derrick grinned. “You’re telling me you’re not? Who was it crying in the Milbar Desert because he hadn’t had a bath?”

Eddie stared at him. This guy’s brain is broken.

He gave up arguing and turned to Abraham–but Abraham was even worse.

He said, with all seriousness, “You shouldn’t tease Eddie. He just misses women; that’s not a crime.”

“Wait–what?” Eddie’s voice rose. “Abraham, what the heck-”

Derrick’s jaw dropped. “Misses women? There’s a woman in Yalvoria you like?”

Eddie went silent.

Unbelievable. Not a single normal person here.

He rubbed his temples. “Just answer me this–do you want me to handle Galen’s situation or not?”

“Do what you want,” Abraham said calmly. “But don’t pretend it’s about Galen.”

Watching Eddie’s growing frustration, Derrick couldn’t help but laugh; his shoulders shook from holding it in.

Eddie’s face turned red. “You’re pushing it, you know that? You’re really pushing it!”

He was ready to explode.

“You’re all the same–every one of you! Not a single decent human among you. You just want me to stay single forever, don’t you?”

“Of course not!” Derrick said quickly, trying not to laugh.

“Actually,” he added, “your sister’s the one who’s really worried about you.”

After all, Evie had fallen for a bodyguard, maybe a driver, some dark–skinned guy she’d met.

Because of that, she’d been nagging Eddie about marriage for years; at this point, she was practically losing her mind over it.

Chapter 885 Dan’s Drunken Meltdown
