The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 143

Seth was feeling irritated and pushed her away, “Please tell Mr. Terry that I have work to do and we can

go for dinner next time.”

After speaking, Seth turned around and headed to the parking lot, leaving Wren alone, standing by the

roadside.

Wren clenched her teeth, staring at Seth’s retreating figure. How could this

man be so heartless?

She did her best to treat him well and brought tremendous help to his career. However, after Seth got

engaged to her, he no longer had any intention of Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

taking their relationship further.

His mind was filled with thoughts of that Rose, an assassin with blood-stained hands, and a shady spy.

In terms of family background and appearance, Rose couldn’t compare to

Wren at all. However, Seth just couldn’t see Wren’s presence!

Wasn’t it because Rose and Seth grew up together?

So she killed Rose, threw her body in the Brussels to be devoured by wolves,

and Seth would never have imagined that the Ace Killer of Rodger Group would

die in the wilderness of Brussels.

As time went by, he would forget about Rose.

The taxi arrived at the hotel, and Marie got out of the car. Her foot gave way,

and she stumbled at the hotel entrance.

The hotel bellboy immediately ran over to help her and asked in French, “Miss, are you alright?”

Marie shook her head, walked into the hotel lobby, and sat on a couch in the

lounge area for ten minutes before she recovered.

Get Boris

She didn’t expect that just by going out for a stroll, she would run into Seth

and Wren.

She never expected that Seth could recognize her just by seeing her back.

It was so close. If Marie had gotten into the taxi just a moment later, Seth. would have been able to

catch her and see her face, which was identical to

Rose’s.

It was still too early, she couldn’t see Seth, nor could she see Wren. She had no bargaining chips to

confront Wren.

Ten minutes later, Marie got up, rubbed her face, and entered the elevator. As soon as she arrived at

the door of her room, before she could even knock, the door suddenly opened.

Marie was taken aback, and so was Dennis, who opened the door. His face looked terrible, and he

said, “Marie?”

Marie was a bit confused and nodded, “What’s wrong?”

Dennis pulled her in and hugged her, saying, “Where have you been? Your phone has been off, and if I

couldn’t see you, I was going to ask Clayton to send someone to find you!”

Marie stood up straight, stuck out her tongue, and said, “My phone broke, and I haven’t had a chance

to buy a new one yet.”

Dennis, feeling helpless, said, “You should have told me earlier that it was broken.”

He pulled Marie to go out, but Marie stood still and asked cautiously, “Where are we going?”

“Let’s go eat, and I’ll buy you a new phone while we’re at it,” Dennis said.

Marie immediately shook her head, “No need, I’m tired and want to eat in the room.”

Dennis glanced at his watch and said, “Alright, then I’ll have the hotel bring it

up.”

Marie nodded and went back to her room to take a shower. She didn’t want to

go out anymore, just in case she ran into Seth and Wren again. She might not

be so lucky next time.

Marie had been shopping for quite some time and was indeed both tired and

hungry. The hotel brought her a steak, which Marie ate everything.

In the afternoon, Marie stayed in the hotel watching TV, while Dennis sat on

the couch working.

Dennis indeed came to France to handle the company’s affairs, and it didn’t

involve anyone from King Organization. In the past few days, Clayton hadn’t

come either, so it seemed like there really wasn’t any major issue.

So Marie treated it as a vacation, comfortably staying in a hotel for a few days,

waiting for Dennis to finish his work, and then returning to New York with

him.

The plane landed at New York’s airport, and Cullen and Dennis went directly to

Whitney Group. Luca picked up Marie and took her back to the Spence

mansion.

As soon as they returned, before even entering the living room, a strong scent

of traditional medicine filled the air. Marie wrinkled her brow, walked in, and

saw Edward. She asked, “Edward, who is making traditional medicine?”

Edward nodded worriedly and said, “Ms. Spence, you’re finally back. Old Mr. Spence has been sick,

and he’s been talking about you these past few days!”

“Is Grandpa sick?” Marie was stunned. These past few days, she hadn’t bought a new phone and had

just been eating and sleeping at the hotel, thinking that there shouldn’t be any major issues. She

thought she could get a new phone when she returned, but she never expected Asher to be sick.

Get Bo

While speaking, Marie walked towards Asher’s room, asking as she went, “What happened to

Grandpa? Is his illness serious?”

“Banquet fell ill the day after the event, and the doctor came to the house to

check on him. The doctor said it was due to overexertion and a weak body, so

he prescribed several traditional medicine remedies to help him recover,”

Edward said.

Marie pushed open the door, and a strong scent of traditional medicine hit her nose, making it difficult

for her to keep her eyes open for a moment.

She walked up to Asher’s bed, and Asher was asleep, looking a bit thinner and

not as radiant as before.

“Old Mr. Spence took the medicine, so his sleep should be better,” Edward

said.

Marie nodded, “Edward, go ahead and get busy. I’ll wait here for Grandpa to

wake up.”

Edward nodded, lightened his footsteps, and walked out, closing the door

behind him.

Marie sat on the couch in Asher’s room, flipping through a magazine, waiting

for Asher to wake up.

Suddenly, a burst of noise erupted outside. Marie frowned, walked out, and

closed the door to take a look.

Olive stood at the door, her voice shrill, “Where’s Grandpa? Why won’t you let me see him if he’s sick?

I’m his own granddaughter! I should be the one taking

care of him when he’s ill!”

Edward said with difficulty, “Ms. Olive, it’s not that we don’t want you to see Old Mr. Spence, it’s just

that he has been having trouble sleeping lately and has instructed us not to disturb him unless it’s

important.”

“It’s impossible! Even if Grandpa was sick, there’s no way he wouldn’t see me!

I want to see Grandpa!” Olive shouted.

Get Bogus

Marie walked out with a frown and said, “Edward, go check on Grandpa.”

Edward looked at Marie with some concern, “Ms. Marie, you…”

“It’s fine, go check on Grandpa,” Marie said.

Edward nodded and walked back to the mansion.

Olive sneered and said, “Hmph! I knew it! Edward, that old codger, was acting in collusion with you to

separate Grandpa from us!”

“Yeah, we were acting in collusion, not letting you see Grandpa. What can you do about it?” Marie

crossed her arms and stood in the doorway, blocking Olive.

“Get out of the way! I want to see Grandpa!” Olive rushed over, trying to push Marie aside. Marie

pushed her back, causing Olive to step back two steps. Unable to maintain her balance in high heels,

Olive fell to the floor.

Olive fell painfully and, standing up angrily, cursed, “Marie Spence! Can’t you understand human

language? Get away from me! I want to see Grandpa!”
