Because Marie couldn't fake it!
“Derrick, he’s callingagain!”

“Answer it; just tell him it's out of your hands,” Marie said in utter despair.
Derrick’s mouth twitched. “You're sure you won't drive him insane with that?”
Everything had been blowing up just fine, and now suddenly it wasn’t their problem anymore.
Anyone would lose it if that got dropped on them...
Marie gave a sharp “hmph.” “What can | do? It’s just not my responsibility!”
All they had to worry about now was stealing from Ashen Pact...
If Dan wanted the Ashen Pact mess sorted out, he'd have to ask Victor and her brother.
Derrick let out a laugh.
Watching Marie like this, he suddenly found her kind of cute; she really had no talent for pretending.
He picked up the call. “Hello?”
“What the heck does that woman Marie, mean?”
Dan's voice cthrough gritted teeth.
Derrick raised a brow. “You're asking me?”
“Who else would | ask? You're with her!”
That only stoked Dan's fury.
The fact that Marie was always with Derrick was a thorn in his side; these past weeks, he'd been dying to rip it
out,
But his world had been in such chaos, he hadn't had the chance.
“Put Marie on!”
Just hearing Derrick’s voice irritated him; he wanted nothing to do with him.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn Dan’s eyes, Derrick was nothing but a petty opportunist-
A vulture circling over weakness.
Derrick glanced at Marie. “He wants you.”

“I told you, it’s not my responsibility; stop asking!” Marie's voice was tangled with frustration.
Dan heard her and his face darkened even more. “What do you mean it’s not your responsibility? Make her
explain it toclearly!”
She had dragged the entire Morris family into this, and now she claimed Tessa’s matter wasn’t her problem.
What kind of logic was that?
Derrick cut in. “It really isn’t her responsibility anymore. You should be talking to Victor and Abraham.”
Hearing it again from Derrick’s mouth nearly made Dan explode.
“Not her responsibility? Then what about you?”
Over the past few days of raiding Ashen Pact, Derrick and Marie had been the most aggressive -their teamwork
uncomfortably seamless.
Much as he hated to admit it, Dan had to face the fact, when those two moved as one, they were frighteningly
effective.
Sure enough-
After Marie's “not my responsibility,” Derrick gave the exact sanswer.
“This isn’t my responsibility either.”
“Derrick!” Dan ground his teeth.
That was the last straw. Not their responsibility? Then what the heck had the two of them been doing to Ashen
Pact these past days?
“This really has nothing to do with us,” Derrick said flatly.
He bit down on so hard made Dan instantly catch the undertone.
It sent him over the edge.
“What the heck do you two even mean?”
They had stirred up such a storm, and now with a single line-not our responsibility-they

thought it was finished?
Dan was seething.
Facing Derrick and Marie now, it was obvious, they were washing their hands of it.
“The meaning is, it’s out of our hands,” Derrick repeated.
Dan wanted nothing more than to tear Derrick’s mouth apart.
How could he say those words with such calm? Out of their hands-
“Not your responsibility, huh? Fine. Then give back everything you stole from me!”
If Tessa’s situation had nothing to do with them anymore, then shouldn't they return everything they’d taken
from Ashen Pact in her name?
Dan's voice rose, ragged with fury.
But Derrick answered coolly, “We can’t return it. She can’t either.”
The air on the line went dead still.

Only Dan’s ragged breathing remained. “Derrick, tellwhat the heck you mean by this?”
He said Tessa wasn't part of Ashen Pact; Derrick and Marie said it wasn't their responsibility.
Now he demanded everything back, and Derrick said they couldn't return it?
What kind of twisted logic was this?
What kind of lunatic operated like that?
Dan felt like his organs were about to burst with rage.

“Keep taking losses?”
Hearing those words, Dan almost blacked out with fury.
They had stripped Ashen Pact bare these past few days, and Derrick dared to talk to him about
their losses?
Who had lost more than Ashen Pact?
