Chapter 536 This Marriage Is Happening
“If you ask me, Derrick should’ve beat you up too. Maybe then you’d finally start thinking straight:
Anyone with a working brain wouldn’t say something so ridiculous.
Seeing Marie suddenly lose her temper, Cynn gritted his teeth even harder. “Our boss forgot everything about you. Everything he did to hurt you–he didn’t mean it. You can’t just let someone beat him up like that.”
“He should just go back to Frapucu and sit quietly in his little lord’s chair. Stop coming out here and making a fool of himself.”
Marie hung up the phone.
Forgot everything? Didn’t mean to?
To her, Dan was just faking it.
Hiding behind some memory–loss excuse while trying to have it both ways. Disgusting.
Her chest was tight with fùry.
Abraham had one hand resting on Stella’s head, holding her close as he lazily asked, “Dan got beat up?”
“Yeah. His guy actually said Dan lost his memory, that none of it was on purpose, and that I should be on his side.”
Ugh. Who even talks like that?
“If you ask me, Derrick was way too soft on him. Should’ve hit him harder–maybe knocked some sense into all of them.”
Anyone with a shred of sense wouldn’t be this confused.
Both Abraham and Stella felt a little more relieved hearing Marie complain like that.
Their biggest fear right now was Marie suddenly deciding to go check on Dan. Now that would’ve been a nightmare.
Marie was still fuming and about to rant some more when her phone rang again. This time, it was Derrick.
She picked up. “What?”
She was still steamed about the whole Dan situation–what did Derrick want now?
She had zero patience left.
Or maybe it was because Derrick had taken so much crap from Abraham over the years, he’d finally snapped. This time, he wasn’t waiting a whole night to act. Just one lunch break, and he’d already gotten payback.
Derrick said, “I’m outside the civil office. Come here.”
“For what?”

Chapter 536 This Marriage Is Happening
Hearing Derrick was at the marriage registration office made Marie’s heart skip a beat.
“To finish getting married.”
Still?! After all that?
What exactly had Derrick gone through to suddenly insist on marrying her?
And why had he only told her brother and mom? Why hadn’t she been told?
Was she not even worth a heads–up?
Marie cleared her throat. “You’re being kinda-”
“Marie, I’m telling you right now: this wedding is happening. I don’t care if you want it or not.”
Derrick snapped.
He was pissed.
48 Pess
Stella got snatched by Abraham. Now Derrick had his own mess to deal with, and he’d even gotten beat up -all he’d asked was for Marie to play along.
Dan, that psycho–if Derrick didn’t make him pay, then he wasn’t Derrick.
Marie snapped right back. “Excuse me, what?!”
What do you mean I’m marrying you whether I like it or not?
Sure, she’d used this whole wedding idea to spite Dan, but still–Derrick’s attitude was totally off.
“Is this about needing to get married, or are you just using me to get revenge on Dan?”
What even was this situation?
Derrick growled, “We’re getting married first. I’m coming to get you now.”
He hung up.
Marie stared at the phone, stunned. Then she looked at Abraham in the back seat.
Abraham asked, “That was Derrick?”
“You heard him, didn’t you?”
The call had been on speaker. She knew Abraham and Stella had heard everything.
Before Abraham could say anything Marie jumped in, “Did you hear the way he talked to me? re getting married whether you want to or not.‘ What the hell kind of tone is that?”
