Chapter 2 I Can Hit You
During the days Marie was hospitalized, no one came to visit her. However, she actually enjoyed the
peacefulness. She then went to the doctor and requested a full-body check-up.
In her memories, Marie always took large amounts of medication that made her tired and sluggish, and
her body bloated and weak. If Marie wanted to change, she needed to find out what was wrong
with her health.
However, the check-up results showed that Marie was in excellent health. Apart from accidentally
tumbling down the stairs and getting a mild concussion from hitting her head, there were no other
issues with her body. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Thus, it made Marie wonder what kind of medications she was taking before.
When Marie was discharged from the hospital, only a driver from the Spence family came to pick her
up. She was sweating much as she huffed and puffed down the stairs. Not only could she not stand it,
but even the driver seemed to look down on her body. As someone who once had muscles, she
couldn’t get used to so much fat on her body.
Upon arriving at the Spence mansion, Marie entered the living room where her stepmother Mia was sat
and enjoyed her tea. Carly, the fourth daughter of the Spence family, was flipping through a magazine
beside Mia. When Carly looked up and saw how sweaty Marie was, she frowned. With a
look of disgust, Carly commented, “Fatty. You’re so gross.”
Marie ignored her and went upstairs to her room.
“Stop!” Carly shouted at her. “Idiot! Don’t you have any manners? Don’t you know you should greet
your mother when you get home?”
“Mom? Whose mom?” Marie asked.
“My mom, of course. Your mom is long dead! You’re an idiot that nobody desires. You’re a despicable
child without a mother!” Carly mocked.
Wren had told Rose about her being a despicable child nobody had desired. Rose never knew who her
parents were or why she grew up in Rodger Group. Although she couldn’t stand up to Wren now, Rose
would not let a little girl like Carly bully her.
At that, Marie slapped Wren so forcefully that the fat on her palm quivered. Marie couldn’t help but think
that she needed to lose weight.
“You dare to hit me? You, of all people, dare to hit me?” Carly covered her face in disbelief as she
looked at her. In the past, everyone bullied Marie with ease. When Carly punched and kicked her,
Marie didn’t even dare to cry out loud. Thus, it was shocking Marie dared to hit Carly that day.
“Why wouldn’t I dare to hit you? In terms of age, I’m older than you and your sider. Regarding our birth
status, I’m the legitimate daughter of the Spence family. As for you, if it weren’t for your
Get Bonus
mother’s affair, you would be nothing more than an illegitimate child. What right do you have to be so
arrogant in the Spence family?” Marie said, word by word.
Upon hearing that, Carly was stunned. Marie had always been withdrawn and listless, almost like
someone with autism. When did she dare to hold her head up high and speak with such eloquence?
Carly immediately ran to Mia’s embrace tearfully while sobbing in a grievance. “Mom, look at Marie!
She actually dared to hit me…”
Mia looked at her younger daughter’s face with a pained expression. When Mia saw a bright red
handprint, she immediately stood up and scolded, “Marie, you’re in the wrong this time. How could you
just hit your younger sister like that?”
“Younger sister? My mom only gave birth to me, so I never knew I had a sister,” Marie said.
“Marie, don’t go too far! You have no right to speak in this house! If this gets to Father, it won’t look
good for anyone!” Mia retorted.
“Fine. If Ms. Dillon wants to make a fuss and take this to Grandpa, I’ll see it to the end. Let’s see what
Dad will think once he finds out you’re making a small matter between siblings for everyone
to know,” Marie answered.
At that, Mia hesitated. Asher had always been dissatisfied with her, a mistress who had become hist
daughter-in-law. Thus, Mason had repeatedly warned her not to bother Asher unnecessarily. After all,
Asher still controlled most of Spence Group.
When Marie saw Mia was silent, she said, “Since Ms. Dillon doesn’t plan on disturbing Grandpa for
now, I’ll go back to my room.”
Before Mia could answer, Marie went upstairs. Marie’s behavior was completely different from the
respectful attitude she had before.
Carly was still sobbing. After all, she had been her parent’s favorite since she was a child, never having
experienced any grievances. However, Marie had actually slapped her! Thus, Carly couldn’t let Marie
get away with this!
Mia felt sorry for her daughter. Thus, Mia could only say, “Wait until your father returns. I’ll let him deal
with her!”
At that, Carly decided to let it slide.
