Chapter 31 I Have No Manners for Dogs

Marie recalled the jumbled dreams she had last night. In one moment, she dreamt of drinking with

Emory and their friends; in another, Seth came to pick her up. And suddenly, she dreamt of Wren

shooting Mike dead.

Her Mike, her Jett, both were dead. Every time Marie thought about it, her heart ached so much that

she could hardly breathe..

The taxi arrived at the Spence Mansion, and Marie and Jolie got out. Marie told Jolie to go back and

while she went to her room first.

rest,

Upon entering the mansion, Mason was not at home, and neither was Mia. It was unclear where they

had gone. Carly was sitting on the living room couch, flipping through a fashion magazine. Noel was

also there, sitting on the other side of the couch, typing away on his computer.

Seeing Marie return, Carly asked sarcastically, “Oh, you actually came back? Where were you messing

around last night?”

Marie didn’t have time to deal with her. All she wanted now was to take a bath and change into clean.

clothes, as the ones she was wearing were starting to stink.

She ignored Carly and turned to go upstairs. Carly, unhappy, shouted, “Stop! I’m talking to you! Do you

have any manners?”

Marie turned to her and smiled, saying, “My manners are reserved for people. What kind of manners

do I need for a mad dog that bites indiscriminately?”

Carly, furious, picked up a magazine and threw it at Marie, shouting, “Who are you calling a mad

dog?”

“Whoever takes over the conversation, that’s who it is,” Marie said.

Carly became anxious. As she stood up and was about to rush over, Noel frowned and said, “Sit

down!”

Carly stomped her foot and whined, “Noel, look at her! How could she talk to me like that!”

Noel looked up at Marie, who was wearing a knee–length dress with her long hair cascading down her

waist, messy yet still exuding beauty. Her delicate face showed a hint of fatigue, and the corner of her

mouth curled into a mocking smile.

He had never noticed before. Marie was so beautiful that even when she mocked others, it was still

captivating,

Noel snapped back to reality and said, “You look like a well–bred young lady. Please, have a seat!”

Carly huffed and sat down on the couch.

Marie turned her head and went upstairs, thinking about the glance Noel had just given her. This was

the second time. Instead of helping his own sister Carly, Noel had actually helped Marie out of a

difficult situation.

It’s hard to know what exactly is going on in Noel’s mind.

Marie returned to her room and took an hour–long bath, finally feeling refreshed and relaxed. She

picked out a long–sleeved dress and put on a trench coat over it. Although Las Vegas had high

temperatures, it still got a bit chilly in the winter.

She put on a light touch of makeup on her face. Picking up her bag, she went downstairs, determined

to settle the house matters today. She wanted Emory and the others to move in as soon

as possible.

As soon as she walked downstairs, Carly stopped her. Noel was nowhere to be found, leaving Carly

unattended.

“Hey, where were you last night?” Carly asked.

“None of your business,” Marie said bluntly.

“Miss High Society, just barely an adult and already staying out all night! I’ll tell Dad, and let’s see how

he deals with you!” Carly said smugly.

“Oh, you want to know where I went? I’ll tell you, I went on a date with your Ira,” Marie said with a

light laugh. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Impossible! You’re talking nonsense!” Carly exclaimed, sounding like a frantic rabbit.

Marie looked at her with amusement, it seemed that Carly really cared about this Ira. He must be quite a handsome man in her memory, otherwise, why would the original Marie have hidden feelings for

him?

Marie laughed, her smile coupled with today’s light makeup made her look even more charming. and

adorable. She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said, “Why would it be impossible? I’m

beautiful and intelligent, unlike you who’s rude and unreasonable. How could Ira possibly reject me?”

Carly looked at Marie, and indeed, Marie was truly beautiful now, radiant and healthy, with a quick wit.

Even Asher was charmed by her, his heart blooming with happiness. She had always had a crush on

Ira, and men really loved girls like her.

But how could this be! How could this be! Ira belonged to her! No one could take her away!

Carly screamed, “You’re talking nonsense! You’re talking nonsense! You bitch!” She reached out to

shove Marie, who was caught off guard and stumbled backward, looking like she was about to fall

embarrassingly.

Noel walked into the living room holding some documents and saw this scene: Carly was hysterically

pushing Marie, causing her to fall down the stairs.

With quick reflexes, he rushed forward and caught Marie steadily. The documents in her hands

scattered like snowflakes all over the ground. As he looked down, he met the slightly panicked eyes of

the girl in his arms.
