The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

    Chapter 621 Get E Out, Now

    E hurled question after question, her voice sharp and usatory. Dan stared bback /bat her, his eyes cold as ice.

    But despite usually being somewhat afraid of him, E felt like she couldn’t breatheb. /b“Marie never loved you. Think about it, after what you did to herst night, how did she treat you?”

    E assumed the man fromst night was Dan.

    That only made her hate Marie more.

    She had nned everything so precisely. iHow /iihad /iiMarie /iistill /iiended /iiup /iiin /iDan’s iarms/ibi? /i/b

    And judging by Marie’s reaction today to what happenedst night….

    “She looked like she wanted to kill you. She doesn’t love

    you at all.”

    iIf /iishe /iidid/ii, /iihow /iicould /iishe /iihave /iiacted /iilike /iithat/ii? /iE was practically hysterical, her voice rising, while Dan’s expression grew darker with every word.

    Atst, he barked toward the door, “Dennis.”

    Dennis had been standing guard outside the whole time.

    Especially with Dan having passed out so many times today, Dennis hadn’t dared step away for even a moment.

    The moment he heard Dan call, he came in at once. “Sir.”

    “Take her out.”

    Dennis nced at E.

    “Dan…” E choked out.

    Hearing him order her to leave crushed something in her.

    She knew it was because she’d said something he didn’t want to hear. Dan was always like this, every time she said something he didn’t like, he made her disappear.

    bBut /bshe bwasn’t /bjust anyone; she was his fiancee. iWhy /iidid /ihe keep bitreating /i/bbme /blike this?

    Dennis seemed unfazed; he looked at E and said calmly, “Miss, let’s bgo/bb./bb” /b

    E drew a shaky breath, tears falling freely down her face. “Whatever feelings byou /bhave for her now, it’s toote. She’s already Derrick’s wife. The two of you bwill /bbnever /bhappen in this lifetime.”

    Every resentful word E spat struck a nerve in Dan.

    And his gaze toward her grew even more dangerous.

    In the Dawson residence, Ste had a good appetite that evening; she’d eaten three bowls of porridge. Abraham took her for a long walk afterward, and she only managed to sleep without difort because of it.

    In the middle of the night, Rianne called. “Ste, I have something to tell you.”

    Ste had been fast asleep. The curse she was about to mutter died on her lips the second she heard it was Rianne.

    “What is it, Rianne?” she mumbled sleepily.

    Her voice was thick with drowsiness.

    Rianne winced at the sound. “Sorry, I forgot about the time difference.”

    “It’s fine,” Ste said. “What’s going on?”

    “Lillian’s dead.”

    Ste was stunned; she rolled over and sat up.

    The room wasn’tpletely dark; a dim night light glowed faintly. Her expression remained unreadable in the shadows.

    “She was in such terrible shape, I’m surprised she even held on this long.”

    After Jonathan kicked her out of the Reed family, Ste had assumed Lillian wouldn’tst more than a few days. iWho /iiwould’ve /iithought /iiI’d /iisurvive /iion /iithe /iistreets /iifor /iias /iilong /iias /iiI /iidid/ii? /i

    “Even if her will was strong, so what?” Rianne said. “She refused to ept her fate, but she still died a miserable death.”

    Ste’s brow arched slightly. “How miserable are we talking?”

    “She was under a bridge… attacked by two homeless men…” Rianne trailed off, unwilling to finish the rest.

    But Ste understood. iHomeless /iimen/ii? /i

    Lillian, who had once clung so desperately to her noble facade, had gone so far bas /bto try and kill Ste just to maintain her position.

    Even after Ste returned to the Reed family, Lillian kept up appearancesb, /bstepping all over her whenever she got the chance.

    She’d never once admitted she was just an adopted daughter; she’d always carried herself like she was above everyone else.

    And now, this was how she ended up.

    “Yeah… that’s pretty miserable,” Ste said.

    More than just miserable–it was absolute ruin.

    “She got what she deserved,” Rianne said. “Back when you were unconscious in the hospital–if Tessa and I hadn’t been there watching you every second, you might’ve died without even knowing how. And that Jonathan…”

    Her tone darkened at the mention of him.

    Ste was his real sister.

    And yet, time after time, Jonathan had hurt her because of Lillian.

    What Ste knew–and what she didn’t–added up to more than she cared to count

    A heaviness pressed against her chest. “Thank you. For everything during that time.

    “Oh, don’t thank me,” Rianne said. “I just thought you’d like to hear the news; maybe it’ll bring you a little satisfaction.”

    After all, Lillian–who had tried so many ways to destroy Ste–had finally gotten her due.

    And not just Lillian, even the entire Reed family; unless someone deliberately brought them up, they rarely crossed her mind at all.
