The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In
Chapter 546 No Turning Back
“What the hell went wrong?”
Cynn muttered to himself, utterly confused.
Dan shot him a cold glare. Cynn instantly tensed up.
“Sir, I was just-”
“Get out.”
Dan’s fury exploded. He couldn’t contain it anymore.
The shout made Cynn flinch all over, and once he snapped back to his senses, he bolted out of the room without hesitation.
Now, only Dan was left.
The entire room felt like it had plunged into ice.
Flashes of memory–the ones that came back after Derrick beat him up–kept flickering through his mind. They weren’t just memories. They carried a strange familiarity that clawed at his chest.
Derrick. Marie.
Marie…
The fact that Marie had actually gone through with the marriage made the fury in Dan’s chest swell to its limit.
He picked up his phone and called her.
That damn woman–was she brain–dead? She really married Derrick?
Marie was still outside the civil affairs office, trying to hail a cab.
It was rush hour. The line was long. The more she waited, the more pissed she got at Derrick, and the louder she ranted in her head.
“Bastard. Let’s see how long you can go without needing my help.”
Damn it!
What exactly did he need help with? And how the hell had he managed to convince even her moin and brother?
“That scumbag better not come crawling back when he needs me again.
If he needed her help, there’d be follow–ups.
No cab in sight.
She was fuming. About to call the family driver to come pick her up.

Just as she took out her phone, an unfamiliar number popped up.
She hung up immediately.
Then it called again.
Frowning, Maric answered, “Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
So the idiot knew she wouldn’t answer his number and switched lines?
Men were disgusting.
Derrick was a dog, and Dan—an even bigger one.
Marie had just taken a hit from Derrick emotionally, so when Dan called, she was in no mood to be civil.
She sneered, “What, calling to congratulate me?”
But from his tone, it didn’t exactly sound like congratulations.
She put a biting emphasis on the word “congratulations,” and the air on the other end of the line turned downright threatening.
Dan ground out, “You really married Derrick?”
Marie: “So now you know?”
That had been a guess just now, but his use of the word really confirmed it–he knew.
Dan: “You two actually registered?”
“Do people like us fake this kind of thing? You think we need to put on a show?”
She hit back without hesitation, cutting off any room for doubt.
Dan: “Marie!”
Her name came out in a chilling growl.
Marie’s tone turned icy. “Why are you yelling at me? Who I marry is none of your business.”
Each word was cold and deliberate.
The fire she once had for this man had turned into a frozen wasteland.
The Marie who had once burned with love for Dan–it felt like she’d never existed.
She was ice now.
The kind of cold that had no heart.
On the other end, Dan could barely breathe from the anger crushing his chest. He clenched his teeth and forced the words out: “Divorce him.”
