Chapter 297 You Are Not My Friend.
“Back when Mr. Kevin was still alive, he personally made that decision with my father. You could say it was something agreed upon between elders… Derrick started to say.
Bang!
There was a loud noise as Abraham suddenly swung his arm back and fired blindly.
If Derrick hadn’t dodged fast enough, that shot would’ve cracked his skull open.
Derrick gritted his teeth and glared at Abraham. Abraham didn’t turn around, but that made the warning even clearer.
He was telling Derrick that he would kill him.
Abraham said coldly. “Surprised you still call him your father. After everything that’s happened. I thought you were ready to claim you’re no longer part of the Tom family”
Sebastian’s breath hitched. He stared at Abraham’s back, stunned. Does Abraham already know everything?
If he did, that would only make the reason for hunting Derrick these past two years even more solid. After all, no one in all of Falvaria had ever dared to use Abraham
Back then. Derrick had stirred up that scandal because of his dad’s illegitimate child. He had orchestrated the whole thing- used Abraham’s hand to bring down the Tom family.
In Derrick’s mind. if his dad wasn’t going to leave the Tom family to him, then that bastard child wasn’t getting anything either.
So Derrick went for the kill. And Abraham had flown into a rage because of it
Derrick let out a cold laugh. “Do you think you can take her off my turf? Abraham, this is my territory!” he said, spitting out each word with chilling clarity.
With the massive group of bodyguards behind him, the pressure was overwhelming.
If he gave the order, Abraham wouldn’t get Stella out so easily.
Stella clung tightly to Abraham’s shirt, hiding in his arms.
“Abraham she called out in a worried voice.
Clearly, the last separation had left her shaken. But now, facing Derrick’s threat, she was even more afraid of a violent clash.
Abraham lowered his head, looking at the terrified Stella. His lips pressed into a thin line. Then he turned and looked back at
Derrick.
“Monroe met with Aberwin an hour ago,” he said.
The moment the words landed, Derrick’s face changed drastically. Sebastian’s expression also turned sharp.
Derrick clenched his teeth. “What did you do?”
Abraham’s lips curled into a cold smirk. He didn’t answer–but that silence said everything. It was about him.
Still holding Stella, he got into the car
Derrick narrowed his eyes. “Abraham, don’t you know? You don’t mess with your friend’s woman.”
Abraham replied calmly, “She’s not your woman. And you’re not…

Abel and the rest of the bodyguards kept a close eye on Derrick and his men. Moving cautiously, they all got into the car together.
The car started, turned around, and sped off
Derrick squinted at the retreating vehicle, pulled out his phone, and made a call
No one knew what the other side said, but his already dark expression turned even colder–downright terrifying.
When the call ended, he smashed the phone to the ground in fory. It shattered into pieces instantly.
Sebastian asked, “What did Monroe say?”
Monroe was a critical business partner, and after the Tom family’s collapse, he was the first to agree to work with Derrick.
Derrick lifted his eyes with a frozen stare, watching the direction Abraham and Stella had gone.
“Heh. Do you think he’d walk into danger alone for no reason?”
Sebastian frowned. “Did he hit their base?”
Derrick shook his head. “Didn’t take it out. But it’s not much better than that.”
His voice carried a sharp edge of frustration.
Sebastian’s expression shifted–he was starting to understand. “Something changed on Monroe’s side?
Derrick sneered. “I was planning to get that thing back, Heh.”
Sebastian’s mouth twitched. He thought about how Stella had been hiding nearby earlier, with that quick wit of hers.
“Wait, why does it feel like we tried to score big and ended up with nothing?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Derrick shot him a cold glare, turned, and got into the car without answering.
Sebastian pouted. He didn’t think he was wrong. From the beginning, this whole plan to snatch Stella felt off.
And Derrick had insisted on getting that item back. Maybe it really was important, or maybe he just wanted to see Stella again. No one could say for sure.
The moment Derrick found our Stella was with Abraham, he left Pagena without a second thought.
Meanwhile, in the car.
After getting in, Abraham never let go of Stella. She sat quietly on his lap, still in his arms.
Unlike before, she didn’t even try to pull away.
