“Um,” Dennis said as he drove the car.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Marie asked.

“I told Old Mr. Spence, but I didn’t expect that he didn’t mention it to you,” Dennis said.

“Are formal dresses expensive?” Marie asked.

“Not bad,” Dennis said.

Marie pouted, realizing that it was true. After all, Dennis was the heir to New York’s most prestigious

family, and for him, a single piece of formal wear meant nothing.

She chewed on her muffin silently, and Dennis quickly drove them to the Spence mansion.

After getting off the car, Dennis said, “Let’s find other ways to deal with them in the future, so we don’t

get beaten up.”

“Understood,” Marie nodded.

“Marie.”

“Um?”

“I have a flight at 2 PM the day after tomorrow,” Dennis said.

“Oh…” Marie said, lowering her head.

“You can try, but deciding things for me won’t work,” Dennis said.

Marie’s mind was in a whirl, and she didn’t speak. Dennis reached out to gently tousle her messy

bangs, then turned around and got into the car.

Marie watched the car until its taillights disappeared from view, then turned around and headed

back to the Estate.

As soon as he entered, Edward saw her and smiled, “I thought Ms. Marie would be back later. Have

you had dinner yet?”

“No, I came back to have a meal with Grandpa,” Marie said.

Edward’s eyes lit up with joy, and he instructed the kitchen to serve the dishes quickly. He then went

inside the house to invite Asher to join them.

Once they were seated, Edward said, “Ms. Marie, please eat more. Old Mr. Spence specifically

instructed the kitchen to prepare some light dishes for you. Since you’re injured, consuming too much

soy sauce and chili pepper might leave scars.”

Marie suddenly thought of something and asked, “Will eating too many chili peppers leave scars?”

“Yeah, we should still watch our diet while the wound hasn’t fully healed,” Edward said.

So, is Dennis determined not to eat Greek food today because he’s afraid it might leave a scar on her

wound?

She felt warm and fuzzy inside, yet a bit disorganized, as she lowered her head to eat her meal.

Dennis said, “You can give it a try, but it’s my decision to make.”

He also asked, “Do you want me to come to Las Vegas?‘

It seemed as if there were some things she understood, but not quite completely. It was a feeling of

being unable to express herself, with the words stuck in her heart.

“Girl, didn’t you have fun going out with Dennis?” Asher asked.

“Huh? No, it’s just having a meal,” Marie said, looking down.

“Is it that today’s meal doesn’t suit your taste?” Asher asked again.

“No, Grandpa, I had snacks in the afternoon, so I can’t eat anymore,” Marie said.

“In a couple of days, school will start, and you need to study hard. Otherwise, with your current

grades, how can you get into a good university?” Asher said with concern.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I will study hard,” Marie said.

“Have you decided which university you want to attend?” the old man asked.

“Yale University,” Marie said.

“Cough, cough…cough…” Asher suddenly choked and started coughing vigorously.

“Edward immediately helped Asher catch his breath and gave him some water. Once Asher finally

recovered, he asked, “Which university are you planning to apply to?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Yale University, huh?” Marie repeated.

“Girl, it’s good to have dreams, but you must also face reality. Yale University is one of the top five

universities in the country, and countless people struggle to get in every year!” Asher said.

“Um, I know, but I can get in,” Marie said.

“Girl, don’t get too cocky. With your grades being at the bottom of the school, it’s already impressive if

you can get into college, let alone Yale University!” the old man said.

Marie was greatly embarrassed, as she had forgotten that the original owner of this body had been

drugged by Mia, causing her to become dull and foolish. She had always been at the bottom of the

school’s rankings.

“Grandpa, don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll get into Yale University!” Marie said with a smile.

“Hmph, you’ve blown your own trumpet too much, let’s see what you’ll do now!” Asher snorted.

“Grandpa, I’m your dear granddaughter, why do you always put me down!” Marie pouted.

“Alright, I won’t discourage you. If you get into Yale University, Grandpa will give you 5% of the

company shares!” Asher said.

Marie’s eyes lit up. What was Asher up to with this performance?

Mason holds 5% of the shares, Noel has 10%, and Asher grasps a whopping 45% of the shares,

remaining the largest shareholder in the Spence Group. Undoubtedly, he is the undisputed chairman.

If she gets a 5% stake, she could be on equal footing with Mason in the company. Although Marie

really wants it, she hesitates. Is Asher genuinely offering it to her, or is he just testing her?

“Grandpa, why would I need shares? I’m not even joining the company“, Marie tried to dodge the

issue.

“You may not be working in the company now, but once Grandpa is gone, they might not accommodate

you there either. With these shares, you can still receive annual dividends and not have to worry about

food and clothing!” Asher said earnestly.

“Grandpa! What are you talking nonsense about? You’re in such good health, why even think about

these things?”

Marie was somewhat unhappy. Although Asher was meticulous in everything he did, he was also very

kind to her, and there was definitely some affection between them.

“Girl, these shares aren’t just handed to you for nothing. If you get into Yale University, this is the

reward

you deserve. If you don’t, well, you won’t get anything!” Asher said with a laugh as he stood up and

went out for a stroll.

Marie returned to her room, lying on the bed, tossing and turning. She felt that things had been quite

chaotic recently.

Dennis made her feel confused, and so did Asher.

She was reborn to seek vengeance, but it seemed that more and more uncontrollable events were

finding their way into her heart.

There were many things that she had never encountered or experienced when she was Rose.

The unfamiliarity frightened her, yet the warmth drew her closer.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The sound of knocking came from the door. Marie got out of bed and opened it, only to find Edward

standing outside with a tray in his hands.

“Edward, is there something going on? It’s so late,” Marie asked.

“Ms. Marie, you didn’t eat much for dinner, and Old Mr. Spence is worried you might be hungry. He

asked me to bring you some more food,” Edward said.

“Thank you, Grandpa, and sorry for the trouble, Edward.” Marie stepped aside to make way as Edward

entered the room, carrying a tray.

“Ms. Marie, I’ve warmed up some milk for you and prepared a few finger food. Please have a bite

before going to sleep, don’t go to bed hungry,” Edward said as he placed the items on the table,

reminding her.

“Alright, I understand now. Thank you, Edward,” Marie said.

“Ms. Marie, you’ve had a hard time in the past, and Old Mr. Spence feels sorry about it. Sometimes he

wants to make it up to you, so please don’t refuse his help. He’s old, and it’s inevitable that he

may not think things through thoroughly,” Edward suddenly said.

Marie looked up and met Edward’s concerned gaze. She smiled and said, “I understand, thank you

for the reminder, Edward.”

Edward: “Well, I’ll be heading back then, Ms. Marie. Remember to eat something.”

Marie: “Alright.”

Edward’s action of bringing her a late–night snack wasn’t really for that purpose. Instead, it was

because during dinner, Marie tactfully refused Asher’s offer of shares, and now Edward was here to

confront her about it.

Marie figured out that Asher felt extremely guilty towards her, so his sincere intention was to offer

her shares for protection, rather than testing her.

She should have been happy for getting a share of the stocks, but she felt melancholic due to Asher’s

increasing age.

Marie sipped her milk, glancing at the assortment of finger food on the plate, but nothing seemed

appetizing. She opened the door and walked to the living room entrance, remembering the box of

muffins Dennis had bought for her on their way back. They hadn’t finished them, so she had placed

the box on top of the cabinet by the entrance.

Marie grabbed a muffin and, as she turned around, she was startled. “Jolie, it’s so late at night, why

aren’t you sleeping?”

“Ms. Marle, it’s only nine o’clock. I’ll help the housekeepers tidy up the kitchen.” Jolie said.

Seeing the muffin in Marie’s hand, Jolie grinned cheekily, “Did Mr. Whitney buy it for you?”

Marie: “Mhm.”

“Ms. Marie, what do you think of Mr. Whitney?” Jolie asked.

“What’s going on?” Marie asked, her head lowered as she walked back into the room.

Jolie followed behind her, chattering away, “What about his character and family background? Ms.

Marie, don’t you think Mr. Whitney treats you very well?”

Marie walked back to her room and plopped down on the carpet, resting her chin on her hands. She

thought to herself, has Dennis been treating her well?

It seems pretty good.

He saved her life, lent her 3 million dollars, gifted her elegant dresses, and helped her deal with Mia

and her daughter…

Ever since her rebirth, Dennis has been the kindest person to her.

Marie felt so good that she believed if she were to commit murder now, Dennis would even hand

her the knife.

Seeing Jolie’s eyes blinking at her, Marie took a bite of the muffin and mumbled, “It’s not bad.”

“Does Ms. Marie like Mr. Whitney?” Jolie asked.

Marie couldn’t catch her breath as the muffin made her choke and cough. Jolie quickly gave her a sip

of milk, which helped Marie breathe more easily.

“Ms. Marie had such a strong reaction, could it be that she really likes Mr. Whitney?” Jolie asked.

“No, don’t talk nonsense. Take the stuff out, I’m going to sleep.” Marie put down her muffin, stood

up, and walked into the bathroom with her clothes.

Jolie felt helpless, so she could only pack her things and leave Marie’s room.

After taking a bath, Marie came out to find that Jolie had already tidied up and left. However, the

box of muffins was still sitting on the table.

Marie crawled back into bed, pulling the covers over her head, her mind becoming increasingly

chaotic.

Does she like Dennis?

Don’t like it, huh?

Dennis treats her quite well.

But I never said I liked her, right?

Marie tossed and turned, not wanting to think about it anymore. After struggling until midnight, she

finally fell asleep.

The next day…

After getting up, Marie tidied up a bit and then joined Asher for breakfast before heading out,

Today is the day Emory and I agreed upon for their visit to Las Vegas.

nd

Marie, dressed in a black trench coat wearing sunglasses, took one of Asher’s cars and arrived at the

airport early.

At ten o’clock, the flight from Moscow to Las Vegas arrived, and Marie stood at the arrival gate, eagerly

looking forward. From a distance, she saw four people coming out.

The two men walking in front were wearing colorfT–shirts and pants, with sneakers on their feet.

The two women behind them were also dressed in colorful outfits.

Marie felt embarrassed… These four people walking together looked just like a tourist group…

Marie held a rose in her hand, waving it in the air. The four people saw her and walked towards her.

This is the secret code she and Emory agreed upon: the rose, representing Rose.

The tall man leading the group walked over and sized her up. Marie took a deep breath and removed

the sunglasses from her face.

“Rose?!” All four of them were astonished.

Marie laughed and said, “I’m not Rose. Let’s get in the car first, and I’ll explain everything once we get

home.”

Upon seeing her face, which was identical to Rose’s, the four of them were already half–convinced

and followed her into the car.

Marie drove to Westline Mansion, and the four of them entered the mansion. After setting down

their backpacks, they all stared intently at Marie. Today, if she didn’t explain herself clearly, she

might not be able to leave the mansion.

Marie couldn’t help but say, “I’m not Rose, my name is Marie. I’m her twin sister, and we were

separated when we were young. We only reunited a few months ago.”

“Where’s Sister Rose? Where did she go? Why isn’t she here to pick us up?” asked the

sunny–looking boy.

Marie glanced at him; this was Luca, who didn’t even have a last name when he first joined the Rodger

Group. It was Marie who suggested that he take Emory’s surname. So he became Luca

Todd…

“She’s dead. I’ve already told Emory about it,” Marie said.

Another tall man, who was the leader, was Emory. He nodded and said, “I’ve checked, and over a

month ago, Wren did indeed take a team to Brussels. That’s also when Rose went missing.”

“Rose told me that Wren has always been hostile towards her, and now that Wren has succeeded, she

will target you all, who are Rose’s confidants. Mike and Jett have already been implicated, and you

can’t be in danger anymore,” Marie said.

“But why are you helping us?” Emory asked, standing next to the blonde–haired, blue–eyed Kate.

“We’re just a group of fugitives without even a real identity.”

“Rose has passed away, and I will protect you all in her stead,” Marie said.

“Is it really that simple?” Kate asked.

“It’s that simple. I’ve bought this mansion, and you can stay here for now. If you have other plans, feel

free to leave at any time. If you want to stay, I’ll figure something out. As long as you’re safe, that’s all

that matters,” Marie said.

The last girl wearing glasses was named Amy. She had been quiet all along, but finally spoke up,

saying, “I think Ms. Spence means no harm. Let’s settle down for now.”

The other three nodded and went to find their own rooms.

Marie sat in the living room on the first floor, letting out a sigh.

This hurdle was somehow overcome. As long as these four people were safe, she could

wholeheartedly focus on dealing with Wren.

After settling everyone in, Marie returned to the Estate.

At this moment, Cullen knocked on Dennis’s door.

“Come in.” Dennis said, looking down at the documents.

“Mr. Whitney, Ms. Marie, someone moved into that mansion today.” Cullen reported anxiously as he

entered the room.

“Who is it?” Dennis asked.

Cullen took out a few photos and placed them in front of Dennis, saying, “Two men and two women.

Ms. Marie personally picked them up from the airport and took them to the mansion. After settling

them in, Ms. Marie returned to the Spence mansion.”

Dennis looked at the photo in his hand. Marie was wearing a black trench coat, sporting huge

sunglasses, and holding a vibrant bouquet of roses.

Behind her, four young people followed, looking like they were here for a vacation…

Have we found out who it is? Dennis asked.

“I’ve checked, but I couldn’t find anything…” Cullen lowered his head.

“What do you mean it can’t be found?” Dennis was speechless.

“I checked the flight records for that day, and these four people flew directly from Moscow to Las

Vegas. Their documents were fake. I had someone compare their faces with all the systems, but there

were no records of them. We couldn’t find their names or identities; it’s as if they appeared. out of thin

air.” Cullen was speechless. What kind of people were surrounding this Marie?

Dennis was also shocked. Could it be that these four people without identities had actually been

smuggled in?

He held a few photos, staring at Marie’s delicate little face and the flowers in her hand.

Rose…

Rose?

Rose is a world–renowned spy and assassin. It is only natural that the people around her have no

names and no identities, existing like ghosts.

Last time, Rose made a deal using the location of the goods and exchanged it for 4.5 million dollars.

He had just found out that Rose was at the

Every time, the only person present was Marie.

However, Rose is a highly skilled assassin with no defeats to her name. Every mission she undertakes

is executed flawlessly.

Marie is just a high school student. Cullen checked last time, and she has never left the Spence

mansion since she was a child.

It can’t be just one person’s.

Eliminate all possibilities, then the only impossible one is the correct answer.

Chapter 471 Have Always Been a Madman

There must be some connection between Marie and Rose!

But what he couldn’t understand was, why would a high school student be connected to a renowned

assassin?

“Keep a close watch on those people, and report any news immediately.” Dennis instructed.

“Yes, Mr. Whitney, and what about Ms. Marie… Should we keep an eye on her?” Cullen asked

hesitantly.

After a long silence, Dennis said in a deep voice, “Hmm.”

Cullen stepped out the door, sighed, and shook his head.

Marie is quite mysterious, and Dennis doesn’t take the initiative to ask questions. Marie, on the other

hand, is even less likely to voluntarily reveal anything. It always feels like something big is about to

happen…

The next day, Marie was at home when she suddenly received a call from Emory. In the call, Emory’s

voice was extremely anxious: “Ms. Spence! Can you come over to the mansion right now? Amy is not

doing well!”

“What does ‘not in a good situation‘ mean?” Marie asked as she stood up from the couch and changed

her shoes.

“She’s had a high fever since yesterday, and she’s been unconscious all day today. She even coughed

up blood just now!” Emory said.

“Coughing up blood? Hold on, I’ll be right there!” Marie immediately left the house.

Just as I arrived at the door, I bumped into Edward.

“Ms. Marie, where are you hurrying off to?” Edward asked.

“Edward, I have to run an errand, so I’m taking the Audi from Grandpa’s garage,” Marie said.

“Ms. Marie, it’s better to get your driver’s license sooner rather than later. Otherwise, driving without a

license like this will make Old Mr. Spence unhappy,” Edward advised her.

“I understand.” Marie hurriedly drove out the door.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Marie practically sprinted inside. Seeing her enter, Emory

immediately led her further in.

“Amy is in the room, and Kate and Luca are taking care of her. We just left the Rodger Group, so it’s

not good to show our faces. You’ll have to think of something.” Emory was somewhat anxious, after all,

these people were like family who had been through life and death together.

Marie entered the room and found Amy lying on the bed, her face pale and lifeless.

“Ms. Spence, please think of something quickly. Amy’s fever must be more than just a simple one,”

Luca said anxiously.

These people couldn’t make a conspicuous appearance at the hospital now. Left with no choice, Marie

took out her phone and called Gavin.

“Ms. Spence?” Gavin’s voice sounded quite cheerful on the other end.

“Dr. Hart, do you have a moment? I have a patient here who needs urgent treatment,” Marie said.

“Tell me the location, and I’ll head over right now,” Gavin agreed wholeheartedly.

“Westline Mansion District, Building A, Block 2,” Marie immediately provided the address.

After hanging up the phone, Emory hesitated a bit, “Ms. Spence, can we trust this doctor?”

Marie: “I’m not sure, but he’s the best doctor I know. When he arrives, you guys should stay out of

sight to avoid any complications.”

About ten minutes later, the sound of a car

returned to their rooms. Marie went down ine could be heard. Emory and the others each

opened the door, and said, “Come on in.”

“What kind of patient? One that’s worth Ms. Spence placing them in Westline Mansion?” Gavin

asked.

“Stop asking questions, let’s treat the illness first.” Marie led Gavin upstairs and entered Amy’s

room.

Gavin examined Amy’s body and even took her pulse, his brow furrowed the entire time. He said, “It

seems to be just a fever, but I recommend moving her to the hospital for further medical

examination.”

“I can’t move her; she can only stay here,” Marie said.

Gavin gave her a puzzled look and said, “Alright then, I’ll draw some blood for testing and come

back tomorrow.”

Marie nodded, watching as Gavin had his blood drawn. Then, she saw him off as he left the

mansion.

All day, Marie stayed in the mansion, watching as Kate and the others bustled about taking care of

Amy. She could only wait for Gavin’s examination results.

In the afternoon, Amy suddenly began to vomit blood profusely, followed by convulsions and shock.

Within a few minutes, her heartbeat ceased.

As Kate and the others‘ loud shouts came from upstairs, Marie rushed up, only to find Amy out of

breath.

At that moment, Gavin called: “Ms. Spence, the blood test results for the girl show that an unknown

virus has entered her body and is rapidly destroying her immune system. If this continues, the fever will

soon take her life. It’s best to move her to the hospital’s sterile room.”

“No need,” Marie said through gritted teeth, before hanging up the phone.

“Can someone explain why there’s a virus inside Amy’s body?” Marie asked, looking at the group.

“It’s Wren. Rodger Group has been researching biomedicine, and Wren has access to the lab.

Recently, she’s the only one who took Amy there!” Kate said.

Emory kicked over a chair beside him, and a sorrowful atmosphere enveloped the entire room.

“I’ll contact the funeral home. We’ll bury Amy, and you guys draw your own blood. I’ll take it for

testing; we can’t afford any more incidents!” After saying this, Marie left the mansion.

Back in the car, Marie sat in the driver’s seat, pounding the steering wheel fiercely as large tears

streamed down her face.

Mike, Jett, Amy…

Wren had already killed too many people around her, and she was still trapped in this small Spence

family, unable to do anything!

She was too weak, far too weak.

Marie drove to the kickboxing gym and trained from afternoon until it got dark. She wore out Levi

and even managed to break a sandbag.

She had nowhere to vent her feelings, and the guilt and helplessness in her heart were about to

consume her.

At this moment, Dennis was sitting at the airport, when Cullen reminded him again, “Mr. Whitney,

it’s time to board.”

Dennis opened his phone, and it lay quietly in the palm of his hand, with no messages or calls.

Was he not clear in what he said?

He said that he would be returning to New York this afternoon.

He informed Marie of the time and location of his flight, thinking that the girl would surely come to see

him off, even if she wasn’t too reluctant to part ways, at the very least she would bid him

farewell.

However, she didn’t come.

Not even a single phone call or message, it seemed as if Dennis leaving Las Vegas had nothing to do

with her at all.

Whether they would meet again in the future or not, she didn’t care in the slightest.

Cullen was getting a bit anxious. It was clear that Dennis was waiting for Marie. Cullen tentatively

asked, “Ms. Marie might be held up by something. Should I give her a call to check?”

Dennis put away his phone, his voice somewhat cold and firm, “No need, let’s go.”

He had done more than enough, offering help and making his stance clear, yet Marie showed no

response at all.

There’s no need to continue like this anymore.

What could possibly hold up an eighteen–year–old girl?

Even if you’re busy, can’t you spare some time to make a phone call?

Dennis closed his phone, stood up, straightened his clothes, and left the rest area.

When Marie left the kickboxing gym, it was raining outside. She didn’t have an umbrella, so she It was

raining outside. She didn’t have an umbrella, so she hurriedly ran to the parking lot and drove back

home.

After parking the car, I prepared to let Jolie grab an umbrella to come and pick her up. However, I

realized that my phone was out of battery, so I had no choice but to get out of the car and walk back

to the Estate.

The rain in this season was icy cold and bone–chilling, but this downpour made her even more

awake.

Asher’s shares, she wanted to get her hands on them, along with the entire Spence family, she

wanted it all.

In the end, it’s the Terry family.

Marie walked up to the entrance of the Estate, just as Carly returned with an umbrella in hand.

“Hey, who do you think I am? You’re all drenched like a drowned rat, and your grandpa doesn’t care?”

Carly held a blue umbrella, looking at her playfully.

Marie wiped the rainwater off her face. She glanced up at her and said coldly, “Get lost.”

“Marie, don’t get too smug. So what if you live with Grandpa? In the end, Dad will still go to New York to

open a subsidiary for me and my sister, and all the shares will be given to Noel. You won’t get a single

penny from the entire Spence family!” Carly taunted.

“Carly, are you here to show off?” Marie looked up.

“Do I really need to show off to you? You’re nothing but a beggar from the Spence family. Your mother

died young and left you, and your father doesn’t even look at you properly. You’ll never get anything!”

Carly sneered, looking at Marie’s pathetic state with disgust.

Marie laughed, her smile tinged with a hint of mockery and a touch of helplessness.

But her gaze was as cold as the rain that filled the sky.

She took one step at a time, approaching closer. Carly felt scared and backed away. As Marie reached

out her hand, Carly thought Marie was going to hit her and immediately lowered her head, trying to

dodge.

Then, Marie suddenly grabbed her by the collar. The immense force tightened around her neck,

making it difficult for her to breathe.

Before Carly had a chance to call for help, Marie grabbed her and forcefully pushed her against the

wall. With her other hand, she snatched Carly’s umbrella and threw it angrily on the ground.

In an instant, Carly was drenched by the heavy rain.

“Ahem… Marie… Are you crazy?” Carly was a bit dazed from the heavy rain.

“Am I crazy? Don’t you know that I‘

always been a madwoman? What did you just say? Your subsidiary? Noel’s shares? Let me tell you, all

of these are mine! In the end, you and your mother will be the beggars of the Spence family!” Marie’s

bloodshot eyes stared at her.

“Cough, cough… How dare you!” Carly exclaimed.

“Watch me, dare or not? If I find out that my mom’s death has even the slightest connection to your

mom, I will make sure you and your mom die a more miserable death!” Marie shouted loudly.

“Marie! Stop!” Noel’s voice came from behind.

It was pouring rain, and Noel thought of coming back early tonight to check on Asher, only to

witness this scene.

Carly found herself pinned against the wall by Marie, both of them drenched in the pouring rain.

“Noel… Noel, save me!” Carly cried out.

Marie didn’t even look back. Seeing Carly’s pitiful expression, she laughed. With a flick of her hand,

Carly fell into the rain. Noel immediately rushed to help her. Carly scrambled up and hid in Noel’s arms,

crying and complaining, “Noel! Marie said she’s going to kill me! And she wants to kill mom

too!”

Noel frowned, just by looking at Marie’s retreating figure, he could feel the malicious aura emanating

from her.

He couldn’t understand why a young girl, in the prime of her life, could harbor so much resentment

in her heart.

“Marie… you…”

Marie slowly turned around, the heavy rain washing over her small face. Her long hair and dress clung

tightly to her body.

Her face turned pale, and though she was shivering from the cold, she still managed to smile.

She glanced at Carly, shivering in Noel’s arms, and thought to herself that if it weren’t for this family,

the old Marie would have been the cherished gem of this household.

But now, all she wanted was to reclaim what originally belonged to Marie, yet she was treated as an

unforgivable mansionin.

“Noel, why are you nervous? Do you really believe what I said about scaring Carly? Or do you think I

would actually kill her?” Marie tilted her head, her smile innocent and pure.

Noel held the umbrella, gazing at her intently without speaking.

“Carly, remember what I said, and wait for me,” Marie said with a laugh that sent chills down

Carly’s spine.

Then she turned around and walked back to the Estate, step by step.
