In less than five minutes, Dennis emerged from the bedroom once again, having changed into his

casual clothes, combed his hair, and looking refreshed and invigorated.

And there stood Marie, still utterly bewildered, wondering why on earth she ended up here.

Dennis walked right past her and headed to the dining table, ready to have his breakfast.

Is Maric planning to pretend she doesn’t know her, given the situation?

She asked, “Dennis, why am I here?”

Dennis didn’t even look back, “I just happened to run into you when you were drunk.”

So cold and indifferent, Marie was almost frozen to death by this icy tone and the cold silhouette.

“Who changed my clothes?” Marie asked.

“Attendant,” Dennis answered.

“Jolie? You mean the young girl who’s been following me?”

“Next door room.”

“Dennis.”

“Speak.”

Marie hadn’t spoken for half a day, and Dennis didn’t ask either. He was already sitting at the dining

table, eating breakfast with elegant and composed movements, not at all resembling the angry man

who had slammed the door earlier.

After hesitating for a while, Marie didn’t know how to break the ice. Finally, like a ball gathering

courage, she asked, “Did I upset you?”

Dennis paused with his coffee in hand. Huh, could this be considered unhappiness?

What right does he have to be upset? Just because Marie drunkenly called out another man’s name

yesterday?

“No,” Dennis said coldly. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh…” Marie suddenly deflated like a punctured ball, unsure of how to continue asking questions.

“Thank you for taking care of me, I’ll be going now,” Marie said.

Dennis didn’t say anything and seemed uninterested in engaging with her. Feeling rebuffed, Marie

returned to her bedroom, changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and left.

“I’ll be going first,” Marie repeated.

Dennis sat in the chair without speaking, not even bothering to look up.

Marie faced a rejection and left the room.

Jolie got up early and knocked on the room next door. As soon as Marie knocked, the door was

immediately opened, and she asked, “Ms. Spence, are you alright?”

Marie was feeling a bit down and casually replied, “It’s fine, let’s go.”

Jolie caught up with them, and the two left the hotel, hailed a cab, and returned to the Spence

mansion.

Cullen noticed that Marie had left, but Dennis didn’t seem to react. He didn’t even offer to walk her out.

As he entered Dennis’s suite, he found Dennis sitting at the dining table.

After taking two sips of coffee, not even a single bite of toast was eaten, and nothing else was touched

at all.

Cullen asked, “Mr. Whitney, is breakfast not to your liking?”

“The coffee is too bitter, and the toast is too hard,” Dennis remarked.

“Then I’ll have someone bring up a new serving,” Cullen said.

“No need,” Dennis put down his fork

stood up, and said, “I’m not eating anymore.”

Cullen couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Usually, he enjoyed this breakfast, but why did it not suit his

taste today?

“Cullen,” Dennis said, “go check on Marie.”

“What are you looking for?” Cullen was dumbfounded. Had they not made up last night?

“Find all the information about Marie from her birth until now, I want everything,” Dennis said.

“Mr. Whitney, this workload…” Cullen seemed a bit hesitant.

“Three days. If you can’t do it, go spend a few days in the South African mines,” Dennis said.

“I can do it! I promise to complete the task!” Cullen immediately said.

At this point, Cullen began to investigate Marie’s past. Marie flipped open her phone and saw a

message from Emory, asking her when they would take action.

She wanted to bring everyone over to this side, but she needed houses to accommodate them. Right

now, all she had on hand was the 4.5 million dollars that Dennis had sent her last time.

She replied to Emory, “Give me a day, and I’ll arrange a place for us to stay.”

Jolie sat in the passenger seat of the taxi and asked, “Ms. Spence, were you alright last night?”

“It’s fine, what could possibly go wrong?” Marie texted without looking up.

“You drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, you were so drunk that you couldn’t even walk,” Jolie said.

“Can’t walk? Then how do I get to the hotel?” Marie asked.

“Mr. Whitney carried you, you know. You fell asleep in his car yesterday, and he let you rest your head

on his leg the whole time. Then he carried you all the way back,” Jolie said.

Marie was dumbfounded. Dennis had hugged her? How come she couldn’t remember it at all?

“Did I do anything embarrassing yesterday?” Marie asked.

“No, but she did ramble on about a lot of things, like shooting and combat and stuff. Ms. Spence can

really boast when she’s had too much to drink,” Jolie said with a laugh.

Marie was scared out of her wits, she almost blurted out to Dennis that she was Rose herself. She

thought she should drink less in the future, otherwise, she might spill the beans even before anyone

starts investigating.
