Ira squinted at the smile, wondering where the once clueless and chubby Marie had gone. This was

nothing short of a deity!

Usually, there are quite a few junior female students who come forward, but today, why does Marie’s

“Ira” sound so pleasant?

Ira immediately reached out her hand and said, “Nice to meet you, Ms. Spence.”

Marie gently placed her hand on Ira’s for a moment, then quickly withdrew it. Even though it was just a

handshake, she could tell by the way Ira stared at her intently that he was interested in her.

Ira realized that she had been a bit rude, so she adjusted her attitude and said, “Ms. Spence seems a

bit different now.”

Marie gently stroked her long hair and said, “You know, people need to make some changes in their

lives for good luck to come their way.”

Ira said with a smile, “That’s what Ms. Spence said.”

”

Carly stood to the side, watching the two converse, but she couldn’t get a word in. Angrily, she

clenched her dress hem.

She turned around to look for Mia, but surprisingly, Ira didn’t notice. It was Marie who said, “Oh dear, I

hope Carly isn’t upset.”

Ira smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Carly is just being childish. She’ll be fine in a bit.”

“Ira really knows Carly well, they’re such a talented and good–looking couple.” Marie said.

As the two of them were chatting, Carly had already run off to find Mia and complain. Her beautiful face

was twisted in anger, “Mom! Marie is such a vixen! Ever since she arrived, she’s got Ira completely

smitten. But Ira is mine!”

Mia comforted Carly, saying, “Don’t worry, Carly. Mom has already found the evidence. Soon, that

wretched girl will be disgraced and kicked out of the Spence family!”

“Really? Móm, what’s the evidence? Let’s bring it out now!” Carly exclaimed.

“Not now, this is Mrs. Herbert’s birthday banquet. If things get out of hand, it will anger the Herbert

family,” Mia refused.

“But I can’t wait any longer! I need Marie to get out of here right now and stay away from Ira!” Carly

insisted stubbornly.

“Carly, listen to me, let’s talk about these things when we get home,” Mia said.

“What’s the point of going home and talking behind closed doors? Grandpa likes her so much now,

what if he decides to protect her? Wouldn’t our efforts be in vain?”

Besides, since we have evidence, we should definitely make a big fuss about it now, so that everyone

knows she’s a despicable person! Carly couldn’t help but laugh happily whenever she thought about it.

After giving it some thought, Mia still felt it was inappropriate. She said a few words to Carly, telling her

not to act like a child. Carly could only listen, as two tears fell from her eyes, before heading to the

restroom to fix her makeup.

Marie had just come out of the bathroom and saw Carly touching up her makeup. She didn’t pay her

any attention and continued walking towards the door.

Carly turned around and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, saying, “Marie, have you no

shame!”

Marie found herself trapped in the bathroom, but she wasn’t worried. With her arms crossed, she

asked, “Well, go ahead and tell me, how exactly am I shameless?”

“You clearly know that Ira is my boyfriend, yet you still try to get close to him. You’re just like your

mother, with that seductive look, always trying to lure men!” Carly said viciously.

“Slap!” Without any hesitation, Marie slapped Carly right across the face.

Carly covered her face. This was the second time Marie had hit her!

Ever since she was a child, she had never experienced any grievances. Yet, Marie had slapped her NôvelDrama.Org © content.

time and time again!

“Carly, my mother has been gone for many years. Please show some respect and don’t insult her!”

Marie said, staring at Carly.

“It’s because your mom had a short life that she died early! She only gave birth to a little brat like

you! Your mom couldn’t steal a man from my mom, and you won’t be able to steal my Ira either!”

Carly screamed.

“Slap!” Another slap, and before Carly could dodge it, it landed on her face.

“Carly, to put it bluntly, Ms. Dillon is a homewrecker who had three kids and even drove my mom to

depression and death. And you’re actually proud of that?” Marie said sarcastically.

“Oh, that’s right, are you worried about me stealing your Ira? Well, I’m going to do it, what can you do

about it? I’ll even make you watch, oh wait, you can’t see anymore, your little face is all swollen, how

can you go out and face people?” Marie said with a sarcastic smile on her face.

She forcefully pushed Carly against the wall and out the door. Little did she know, as soon as she

stepped out of the restroom, she was grabbed in the hallway. Before she even had a chance to

struggle or scream, she was dragged into a nearby storeroom.

Marie instinctively lifted her leg to kick, but her opponent blocked it with their own leg, plming her

against the wall. With her back to the person, she couldn’t see their face. She raised her arm and

delivered a precise elbow strike to their chest. Seizing the moment of their surprise, she turned around,

her hand shaped like a claw, reaching for their throat with incredible speed. However, she didn’t expect

her opponent to react even faster, grabbing her wrist and completely pinning her against the wall.

Now, Marie’s hands and feet were pinned down, unable to move. Just as she was thinking of a way to

escape, she heard a familiar deep voice: “Marie, impressive skills.”
