Chapter 698 Blood, Bites, and Boiling Points

    Marie was determined to get back before Ste’s wedding.

    But as she sat lost in thought, Dan walked in and caught the dazed look bon /bher face. His expression turned sour.

    “Thinking about Derrick again?”

    Just hearing Marie refused to sign the divorce papers with Derrick made Dan’s tone go cold.

    He had no idea when she started having feelings for Derrick. Their marriage certificate felt like a cruel joke–a direct p to the face of the love she once imed to have for Dan.

    Everyone used to say Marie nearly lost her mind over him.

    And yet, not long after he reappeared, she married Derrick.

    That so–called madness now looked more like a punchline.

    Hearing Dan’s voice snapped Marie out of it.

    She clenched her teeth and looked at him. “I’ll ask you one more time. Where’s Tessa?”

    Ste’s worry over Tessa during their call still echoed in her mind.

    Marie was truly running out of patience.

    She didn’t have time to waste ying games with Dan.

    Dan’s eyes narrowed. “I didn’t take Tessa.”

    “Still pretending?”

    “You-”

    “You’re a bastard, Dan.”

    “What? So now I’m to me for everything? You think I’m that evil?”

    Marie was stunned.

    “Tessa? Even if I had killed her, what right do you have to question me?” he sneered. “You should be more focused on your little Derrick drama. That divorce is happening.”

    His voice grew colder with every word.

    But Marie didn’t hear the rest.

    She froze at that one line–ieven /iiif /iiI /iihad /iikilled /iiher/i–and something inside her snapped.

    His words vanished into a white noise of rage.

    “You animal! That’s your own sister!”

    Marieunched herself at him in a fury.

    Thanks to the drugs Dan hadced her with earlier, she still didn’t have the strength to really fight him.

    So she did the next best thing.

    She grabbed his head—and sank her teeth into the other side of his face.

    It all happened too fast.

    Dan let out a low, pained grunt.

    “Marie, you crazy bitch!”

    He growled, hands mping around her throat in fury.

    Yesterday, he’d already walked around with one cheek full of teeth marks, drawing curious stares.

    And now she was at it again?

    But the harder he squeezed her neck, the deeper she bit into his face–like she wouldn’t stop until she ripped a piece off.

    In the end, Dan broke first.

    “Alright, alright! I give up! Let go!”

    Any more of this and he’d have no face left.

    Finally, Marie released him.

    Dan could immediately tell—this bite was way worse than thest one. Warm blood was already trickling down.

    But the truth?

    Marie hadn’t let go out of mercy.

    It was the taste–the overwhelming, rusty tang of his blood–that triggered her nausea.

    Dan wiped his face and stared at the blood in his palm, seething. “One more time and I’ll rip everyst tooth out of your mouth!”

    “Ugh–ugh–ugh—!”

    Marie spat on the floor twice, but the taste lingered. She couldn’t hold it in

    and started gagging violently.

    Dan was already livid.

    Seeing her now, curled up and retching, his head buzzed with fury.

    “What the hell is that supposed to mean?!”

    She bit him–and now she was acting like ihe /iwas disgusting?

    Unable to take it anymore, Marie rushed to the bathroom and threw up her guts.

    Dan stood outside, face dark as thunder, clenching his fists.

    He wanted nothing more than to storm in and shut her up.

    But in the end, he didn’t.

    Grinding his teeth, he spun on his heel and stormed out.

    Just as he stepped out the door—

    He heard Marie’s voice from inside, hoarse but fierce: “Tessa bettere back to me without a single scratch on her.”

    Dan went quiet.

    iTessa/ii, /iiTessa/ii, /iiTessa/i.

    What the hell was their rtionship anyway? Was Marie really going this far over her?

    Yes. Yes, she was here to fight him for Tessa.

    Dan’s heart soured.

    First it was Derrick. Now it was Tessa.

    At what point had Marie’s heart shifted this far away from him?

    Meanwhile, Tessa and Victor were having a perfectly pleasant vacation.

    Dan, on the other hand, was drowning in chaos.

    He thought he’d secured Marie by keeping her close–but he’d only tied himself to a grenade.

    Marie wasn’t some fragile bird in a cage.

    She wasn’t someone you could lock up.

    And now…

    After just one night, Dan showed up again–his other cheek freshly bitten.

    The position of the bite mirrored the first one perfectly. It was almost symmetrical.

    And this time, she’d bitten even harder.

    Blood was still seeping from the mark.

    Conan’s face darkened when he saw him.

    “Ms. Dawson bit you again?”
