The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 103

Marie silent.

Andres leaned back and said, “How can you say I wasn’t respected? Mr. Whitney borrowed my place

for Marie’s birthday party!”

Marie was about to stand up with her wine glass when Dennis held her hand and said, “Mrs. Roberts

mentioned that she recently got along well with a roommate who is the daughter of a business

tycoon”

Andres immediately stood up with his wine glass, “Marie! My place is your place! Come whenever

you want! Happy birthday! Happy birthday!”

Marie was left speechless by this sudden change in Andres.

This face change happened too quickly, right?

Darwin also stood up holding a wine glass, and with a smirk, said, “Ms. Spence, happy birthday!”

Marie was momentarily stunned, then laughed and clinked glasses with him, saying, “Thank you.”

Andres was amazed that Marie was able to win over Darwin, this young guy; she really had some

*kills!

After everyone had eaten, they went to the karaoke room to sing. Marie sat and watched them play

around. Zane specially sang a song for Marie, his voice was beautiful, and he received applause

from everyone.

At twelve o’clock, Sasha and Iliana came in pushing the birthday cake, and a group of people sang

while asking Marie to make a wish and blow out the candles.

Marie stood in front of the cake with her hands clasped together.

In this lifetime, I only wish for the people around me to be healthy and carefree.

For the first time since Reborn, there was no hatred in her heart, only a passion for life.

She decided to replace the original Marie and live a good life.

Marie blew out the candles and cut the cake. Sasha took the lead in smearing the cake on Marie’s

face, causing chaos in the room, with cake and cream flying everywhere.

For the first time, Dennis was unceremoniously pushed down by Andres and Gavin, and had a dollop of

whipped cream placed on his face.

Cullen lunged to save Dennis, but Luca grabbed him. Cullen was very self-aware and knew he couldn’t

beat Luca, so he took off running.

Get Bogus

Darwin dabbed a bit of cream on Sasha’s nose, and the girl wrinkled her nose, delicate and cute.

Darwin smiled slightly.

Then, Sasha took a piece of cake from the plate and smashed it onto Darwin’s face.

Darwin was amused by her reaction.

What the hell! He couldn’t believe it! He couldn’t handle Sasha?

Darwin chased after Sasha, wildly wiping at her. As she ran, Sasha shouted, “Darwin! Are you sick?”

Darwin asked, “Do you have medicine?”

Sasha did not respond, caught up in the playful chaos between them.

Zane watched them play foolishly and approached Marie, asking, “Ms. Spence, I heard them calling

you sister-in-law.”

Marie was nestled in the sofa, taking small bites of cake. She was a bit tipsy, so she just smiled and

didn’t say anything.

Dennis said that it would take a year, and she also wanted to wait until a year later to open her heart

to someone.

Zane scratched his head and said, “Mr. Whitney was really good to you, we could all see that.”

Marie laughed and nodded, “I know.”

She knew that in this world, there would never be another person who treated her as well as Dennis

did.

So, her carefulness and fear and trepidation were not only for herself, but also for Dennis’ genuine

feelings.

Quite a few people got drunk, and everyone hadn’t been this happy in a long time.

Especially for Darwin and Sasha, the banquet issue had weighed on their minds for too long. They

thought doomsday was coming, but in the end, Marie pulled them back.

So this was not only a birthday banquet, but also a celebration banquet, celebrating Maris

Entertainment officially stepping into the public eye, celebrating their victory over that crazy woman

Carly, and celebrating them truly becoming a family!

Andres and them held hands in the garden, singing and dancing while occasionally drinking and

cheering.

At that moment, they were no longer a CEO, a bodyguard, or a celebrity; they were just a group of

good friends who needed to relax.

Dennis sat on the steps, watching Marie nestled in the garden swing chair, holding her wine and

giggling. She looked genuinely happy. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Andres ran over and lay down next to Dennis, asking, “Mr. Whitney, when did you confess your feelings

to Marie?”

Dennis shook his head, “No rush.”

“How can you not be worried?” Andres glared at him. “You better confess your feelings quickly, and it’s

best to get married soon, so that Nataly will give up!”

Andres had a bit too much to drink and thought about Nataly’s standoffish demeanor towards him. He

didn’t know what had gotten into him, but he just liked Nataly.

Dennis took a sip of wine, turned to him and asked, “If she gave up, would she like you?”

Andres lay on the steps with his eyes closed, kicking his legs, “I don’t care! What if? What if they end

up liking me?”

Dennis slapped him on the head, “Wake up, you’ve had too much to drink.”

Andres closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and Dennis didn’t bother him, knowing that nothing

would happen here.

He stood up, walked over to Marie, bent down, and said, “Marie, let’s go home.”

Marie’s eyes sparkled, looking somewhat bewildered, “Ah? Is it time to leave?”

“Alright, it’s time to go back,” Dennis said.

Marie hummed discontentedly twice, reached out her hand, and said in a soft tone, “Hold me.”

Dennis chuckled and reached out to carry Marie sideways. He walked outside, and Cullen had already

driven the car over. He knew he had to drive Dennis that night, so he didn’t drink much.

Dennis placed Marie in the back seat and, once she was settled, asked, “Cullen, have the others

been taken care of?”

Cullen nodded, “It’s all arranged. Sasha and Zane’s assistant will come to pick them up, and the

housekeeper at the Robert residence will help settle the others.”

Marie turned around dazedly and buried her face in Dennis’ chest, letting out a couple of dissatisfied

hums. Dennis said, “When we get back to Glorious Estate, remember to call Old Mr. Spence and tell

him that Marie drank too much for her birthday and will be staying at Glorious Estate tonight.”

Cullen nodded, called Old Mr. Spence to inform him that he had arrived safely, and then drove to

Glorious Estate.
