NovelsFreeChapter 12 Chapter 12: The voice on the phone was not only cold but also sounded completely deranged. Marissa listened intently and finally recognized it as Derek's voice, though he sounded like a completely different person "Ha, Marissa Nash, you probably never imagined I'd have my moments one day, did you? I'm going to destroy you!" Marissa frowned. Speople lose their sanity due to pain, sdue to fear, and others due to overwhelming happiness. Derek fell into the last category. Rising from a deeply insecure poor boy to a rich heir had sent him into a frenzy of excitement. She could understand this change, but what baffled her was his sudden intense animosity towards her. Just a day ago, he seemed worried about losing her "Why?" "Why? Because you're a whore!" galnovsoffers tales worth telling Marissa couldn't believe Derek would insult her with that word. "Marissa, don't think for a second I'm clueless about how you got the money you gave me. You earned it by sleeping with men in nightclubs! God knows how many times you've been unfaithful. Just the sight of you disgusts me!" Marissa felt a sharp pain in her heart. Every tshe had given Derek money, he had appeared appreciative. It was all a facade. He had accepted her money while silently condemning her. It seemed the villagers had been right about him. He was a wolf in disguise, only playing the part of a meek lamb because he was poor. Now that he had wealth, his true, ruthless nature was showing. All her goodwill towards him had turned out to be pointless "Derek, I need to ask you this. Do you want to end our engagement?" "Absolutely!" Derek's tone was arrogant and malicious. “Marissa, you're not worthy of me! If you try to hold on to me, I'll make you regret it!" Very well. Marissa looked up at the sky with a cold expression. The promise was now broken. It was Derek who no longer needed her to keep her word, not her deceiving anyone "Don't worry, I have no intention of holding on to you. Derek, you should go online and announce that all the rumors about your fiancée are false. From here on, you live your life as a wealthy heir, and I'll just continue running my small flower shop. We'll keep out of each other's lives." Marissa's calmness and detached demeanor took Derek by surprise. He had expected her to beg him in tears, but she refused to give him that satisfaction. This left him feeling both infuriated and humiliated "Ridiculous! I'm the one who started those rumors. Why would I retract them? If I hadn't been poor, why would I have ever considered marrying a woman like you who's been with every man? Now that I'm wealthy, I need to express my anger properly! You bitch, sleeping with others but refusing to lettouch you, claiming we should wait until after the wedding. Did you think I was an idiot? Just wait for your downfall! By the way, I haven't had my way with you yet. Now I want that. What's your price for one night? I'll pay double!" Listening to Derek's insane tirade, Marissa clenched her fists slightly. "Derek, you'll regret this!" Derek laughed hysterically. "You're seething with rage, aren't you? But what can you actually do to me? I travel in luxury cars and am always surrounded by bodyguards now. A village girl like you couldn't even get near me!" Marissa chose not to respond with words. She just let out a soft, mocking "Heh!" Then, she ended the call. Derek would soon discover if she really could get close to him or not After she hung up, dawn was breaking. Suddenly, loud cries cfrom the direction of her house. Marissa walked back quickly. Approaching the gate, she saw several cars leaving. Her family's gate was vandalized with two large holes, the walls were covered with offensive graffiti, and her parents and Denise were on the ground, crying, splattered with rotten eggs. As she arrived, Betty leaped up and cursed her
"Marissa, you bring bad luck! This family's misery is all because of you! If you hadn't been so set on marrying Derek, we we wouldn't be facing online harassment, and those so-called righteous netizens wouldn't have felt compelled to 'teach us a lesson! Now everyone recognizes us. How are we supposed to live? Boohoo..."
Marissa sneered inwardly. What righteous netizens? Those were clearly thugs sent by Derek! They had intended to ta edito target her, but since she wasn't there, she had missed the assault. Just then, a loud "bang" erupted outside the courtyard wall, and an unidentified object hurtled towards Marissa
"Ah! It's a bomb!"
