The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 217

Marie squeezed the necklace on her neck. It was the only thing that Asher gave her that belonged to

Luisa, and this small necklace couldn’t be traced any further.

She grabbed her coat and got up. Sasha pulled her and asked, “Marie, where are you going?”

“The Spence mansion.” Marie hurriedly headed out. She was afraid that if she went too late, Olive and

the

others would take the things away.

“Marie, it’s not safe for you to go back alone!” Sasha held her hand and refused to let go.

Marie smiled and said, “Don’t worry, there are Luca and the others at home! Olive can’t hurt me.”

Sasha had no choice but to let Marie go. Marie called a taxi downstairs and informed Luca to keep an

eye on

the safety deposit box in Asher’s study. She would go back immediately.

The taxi driver drove too slowly and arrived at Cloudy Villa. When she got out of the car and ran in, the

housekeepers were moving Marie’s things out.

Standing on the steps, the arrogant and commanding person was Carly, whom they hadn’t seen for

more

than a year.

She was wearing a gray sweater, her hair had turned into big wavy hair, with heavy American makeup

on her.

face, and three-inches high heels. She was not as innocent and cute as before. She was more mature

even had a hint of flirtation. Marie didn’t know how Carly lived these days. Although she had deducted

Carly’s living expenses, it was enough for her to live a full life.

Seeing Marie walk in, Carly’s eyes were filled with anger and hatred. She glared at her viciously and

forced a

smile from the corner of her mouth, saying, “My good Marie? Why are you here?”

Marie raised her eyebrows and said, “Do I need to report to you when I go home? I also want to ask

you, why

are you here? I remember Grandpa had kicked you out!”

Upon hearing this, Carly’s face flushed with anger. She shot a piercing glare at Marie, clenching her

teeth.

tightly. “So what? Grandpa is gone now, and my siblings and I will be assuming control of the Spence

family. I

have the right to come back whenever I please!”

Marie smiled and didn’t say anything. She didn’t bother to argue with Carly. The most urgent thing was

to

confirm what was in the safety deposit box.

As for the things that were thrown away, Marie didn’t care. She could buy them again after throwing

them

away, and she had plenty of time to deal with them later.

When Marie walked into the villa, Carly glared at her and shouted, “Where did this thief come from?

Throw her

out!”

Several housekeepers stood motionless, their gazes interlocking, but none of them took a step forward.

Having served the Spence family for many years, they were well aware of the deep affection Asher

held for Marie during his lifetime. Now that Asher had passed away, they felt a collective sense of duty

to grant him a semblance of peace, even if it meant merely putting on a show.

The housekeepers stood still, and Carly was furious. Looking at Marle, she became even angrier and

shouted, “I told you to kick her out! Didn’t you hear me?”

The housekeepers looked at each other again, but they still didn’t move. Everyone could see that Carly

was now in charge of the Spence family, but they still couldn’t be cruel enough to kick Marie out.

Marie smiled and said, “Carly, it’s just a grudge between the two of us. Why make things difficult for

others?”

Carly trembled with anger. She had just left home for more than a year, and these people had

completely disregarded her.

But what about Marie? She used her as a springboard to make her career prosperous, and that damn

Sasha and Darwin even made it to the top in the entertainment industry!

“Marie, you bitch! Get out of here!” Carly screamed and rushed over. After leaving home for so long,

she no longer looked like the noble young lady she used to be. She didn’t care about her image at all. It

was noisy and annoying.

Carly rushed over and was stopped by Luca, who appeared out of nowhere before she could touch

Marie. Luca grabbed Carly’s wrist and pushed her to the ground. “Marie is the legitimate Ms. Marie of

the Spence family. Who wants to kick her out?”

During the trip in Brussels, not only did Marie save Dennis, but she also convinced Clayton and Luca.

After all, no one could have expected that a fragile and delicate girl would dare to venture alone into

enemy

territory and stand side by side with Dennis, facing life and death together.

Carly got up from the ground, covered in dust. She cursed exasperatedly. “What kind of Ms. Marie is

she?

Didn’t you see the news? She’s not even the Spence family’s biological child! She’s just a nobody that

her promiscuous mom had with someone else!”

Upon hearing that, Marie was angered. She walked past Luca and slapped Carly. “Carly, I haven’t

taught you a

lesson for so long. You don’t know what to say, do you? Who gave you the guts to frame my mother?”

Carly covered her face. From the moment that little bitch, Marie, stopped being silly and naive, she had

slapped Carly many times, but Carly didn’t dare to fight back.

Her cheeks were red and swollen, and her eyes were a little red. She glared at Marie and said, “Just

you wait! You bitch! I will definitely ask Noel to kick you out of the Spence family!”

Carly always liked to say such ruthless words and bully others by flaunting one’s powerful connections.

With

a sarcastic smile, Marie said, “I’m a bitch? Okay, I’ll wait for you to kick me out!”

Ignoring her, she turned around and walked into the mansion. Carly screamed behind her, “Marie!”

Ignoring her completely, Marie didn’t have time to talk to Carly. Luca followed behind her and nagged,

“Why did you come back alone? Now the people on the side of Olive are crazy, aren’t you afraid that

they will hurt

you? If you get hurt again, how can I explain to Emory…”

Marie smiled and asked, “What did you explain to Emory?”

“Emory always make fun of me for being a bodyguard as a top assassin. If I don’t protect you well,

Emory and

Kate will despise me for the rest of my life!” Luca said in annoyance.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you be despised.” Marie walked upstairs, ready to open the door of Asher’s

study and walk in to find the safety deposit box.

When Marie pushed open the door, she saw a group of people gathering in front of the safety deposit

box. Marie yelled with a frown, “What are you doing?”

The crowd dispersed, and Edward was surrounded. His head was bruised, but he remained motionless

in

front of the safe.

The leader glanced at Marie and said disdainfully, “Mrs. Spence asked us to clean up the study. Please

leave, Ms. Spence.”

Marie walked straight over, squatted down to check on Edward’s injuries, and asked coldly, “What’s

going on?”

The bodyguard leading the group said, “We’re just ordered to check all the places. Edward is guarding

the safety deposit box from us. It’s inevitable that he will bump into…”

“This is what Old Mr. Spence left for Ms. Spence! No one is allowed to touch it!” Edward was old, and

he was sitting in front of the safety deposit box. His hair was tied up, and his face was bruised and

battered.

“You!” The leader of the bodyguards glared at Edward and cursed, “You’re just an old dog without a

master! Don’t be so arrogant!”

“Luca!” Marie roared, “Beat them to death! Let them know what to say in front of me!”

“Okay! Luca clenched his fist and made a crisp sound. He walked up and punched the bodyguard in

the stomach. He then grabbed the bodyguard by the collar and dragged him out of the study.

There were constant screams from outside. This was not a one-on-one battle at all. It was just Luca’s

one-sided crushing and abuse.
