The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 194

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. The red marks on her neck were printed on

her

snow-white skin, and she roared, “Dennis Whitney!”

Dennis, who was far away on the plane, sneezed suddenly. Cullen immediately asked, “Mr. Huard, did

you

catch a cold?”

Dennis shook his head and smiled, “Maybe Marie misses me.”

Cullen was speechless.

He was already so jealous when they were dating. Now that they were engaged, they were too much

for single guys like him.

Dennis stopped smiling and asked, “Clayton said he had something to tell me. Did you find out about

Rose?”

Cullen shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Mr. Philemon insisted on telling you in person. Maybe he

found something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let you come here like this.”

Dennis didn’t show any emotion on his face, but Cullen knew he was worried that among the things

Clayton. had discovered, there would be implications involving Marie.

Back in New York, after washing up. Marie changed into a turtleneck dress to cover the red marks on

her

neck and returned to the Spence mansion. Dennis just proposed to me yesterday and I didn’t come

home with

him all night. Grandpa might be thinking nonsense again.

As soon as he saw her enter, Asher asked with a smile, “Why are you back alone? Where’s Dennis?”

Marie pouted and teased, “He’s on a business trip. Grandpa, I’m your real granddaughter. Can you

care more

about me?”

Asher looked at her cheerfully. “You are my granddaughter, and Dennis is my grandson-in-law! It’s the

same to

care about anyone.”

Marie retorted, “Grandpa! What grandson-in-law? Don’t always talk about this.”

Asher was not annoyed and continued with a smile, “Okay, I won’t talk about it anymore, but you and

Dennis

have to be careful. It’s not good to have a baby if you’re not married yet. You still have to be careful…”

“Grandpa!” With a flushed face, Marie looked at Asher as if she would run away from home if he

continued

speaking.

Only then did Asher wave his hand and concede. “Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore.”

Marie sighed. The proposal really made Asher extremely happy. In the past few days, Asher was never

in low

spirits. Every day, he couldn’t wait to urge Marie and Dennis to get married soon!

Marie was sitting in the living room with Asher when it got noisy outside. Asher frowned and asked,

“Edward,

go out and have a look. What’s the noise outside?”

Marie stood up and offered. “I’ll go with Edward.”

Asher nodded, lowered his head, and played with the chess piece in his hand, entertaining himself.

Marie came out because she knew that it was Mia who was causing trouble. She had specially

instructed the

housekeepers here that Asher was not in good health and needed to rest, and anyone who came over

from

Mia’s side had to be stopped outside.

When Marie and Edward walked out, it was indeed Mia and Mason who were making a fuss outside.

When

Mason saw Marie come out, he was about to rush over. “You wicked woman! Come over here!”

Standing on the steps with her arms folded, Marie asked, “Mr. Spence, what can I do for you?”

Mason scolded her angrily, “Look what you’ve done to Noel! He’s still in the hospital now!”

Frowning, Marie replied, “What does Noel’s accident have to do with me?”

Mia cried as she leaned into Mason’s arms and said, “Marie, Noel didn’t do anything to you. Why are

you doing this to him? He had a car accident, and you actually left him all alone in the hospital. Now he

just woke

up and wants to see you. Why on earth is that?”

Marie sneered, “Why? Your son had a car accident. You should ask him. I’m not his mother, there’s no

need

for me to stay with him in the hospital all day!”

Mia had always acted so pitiful in front of Mason, crying with a torrent of tears. If it weren’t for Mason

supporting her, Mia would have knelt down. She cried, “Marie, I’m begging you. Just go and see Noel.

He just woke up and is already clamoring to be discharged. How can he recover properly in such a

weak state?”

At that moment, Marie was full of resentment toward this family, and she hated Noel even more.

Although she was not sure how much Noel knew about what had happened back then, as soon as she

saw Noel, she couldn’t help but think that Mason had abandoned them because of this illegitimate son.

Looking indifferently at Mia’s crying and shouting performance, Marie said coldly, “Grandpa is not in

good health and needs to rest. Mrs. Spence is emotionally unstable. Please go home!”

After saying that, she turned around and walked back.

But Mia was not willing to stop. Noel is my most precious son. I hope that when Asher dies, my son can

inherit the Spence family’s business, and I can comfortably continue to be the lady of the Spence

family.

Although Noel didn’t have any major issues this time, as soon as he woke up and didn’t see Marie, he

insisted on being discharged from the hospital. Naturally, Mia was not pleased. How could my son get

entangled with this damn girl?

Originally, she wanted to make a scene here, but she did not expect that Marie would not even let them

in. The last time father was sick, he had to be hospitalized. It means he is dying, isn’t it?

In that case, I can’t let Marie take care of him alone. What will happen to the shares when he passes

away?

Mia pushed away the housekeeper in front of her who was pulling her and suddenly rushed into the

mansion, shouting, “Dad! Dad! You have to help us!”

Startled, Marie ran over to pull Mia away, but Mia ran so fast that she was already at the living room in

the

blink of an eye.

Asher was still sitting in the living room playing chess. He saw Mia rushing in looking disheveled. She

knelt

down in front of him and pleaded, “Dad! Please go and see Noel!”

Stunned, Asher asked nervously. “What’s wrong with Noel? What’s wrong with my grandson?”

With a cold expression, Marie said, “Luca, get Mrs. Spence out of here! Grandpa, don’t listen to her

nonsense.

It’s nothing.”

She knew that Noel was a treasure in Asher’s heart. After all, he was the only male of the Spence

family. Asher had high hopes for Noel, hoping that he could lead the Spence Group to go global.

Therefore, Marie had not done anything to Mia for a long time. Gavin had exhorted repeatedly that

Asher couldn’t be subjected to any stimulation at all. She just wanted him to be safe and healthy.

Mia, however, hugged Asher’s leg and shouted, “Dad! I’m not talking nonsense! Noel was in a car

accident! He has been in a coma in the hospital for several days!”

The chess piece in Asher’s hand slipped and fell to the ground, emitting a clear but piercing sound,

alarmed Marie as if she was facing a big enemy. She looked at Asher nervously, for fear that he would

be

anxious, so she walked over and comforted him, “Grandpa, don’t worry. Noel… He’s fine, he’s fine…”

“How is he fine?” Mia shouted, “Noel was in a car accident and is now lying in the hospital. We don’t

know

whether he’s alive or dead. How could you leave him alone in the hospital? Marie, Noel is your brother

after

all!”

“Shut up!” Marie roared, which frightened Mia. She had never seen Marie like this. In the past, Marie

was

subservient. Even when she became more intelligent later on, she knew the importance of self-

preservation

and always had a sweet smile like a mask. But at this moment, her eyes were like knives, and her

expression

was icy as if she would rush over and bite Mia to death if she dared to say one more word.

Mia was startled, but Mason was not frightened. Mason came over to help her up and said, “Dad! You

can’t

be fooled by Marie again! She is trying to snatch the shares from you and wants all of us to die, so she

dumped Noel in the hospital!”

Asher coughed angrily. Of course, he knew that Marie wouldn’t do such a thing. But when Noel is in

trouble,

these people are still arguing about the shares. The family has already broken down to this point!

No matter how Mason and Mia smeared her, Marie was only focused on comforting Asher now. She

murmured, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Don’t worry. I’ll take you to see big brother later. He’s fine,

really…”

“Dad! You have to stand up for Noel! Not only did she cause Noel to get into a car accident, but she

also left him in the hospital for him to die. Noel is your only grandson. What if something happens to

him?” Mia cried endlessly.

“That’s right, Dad! You can’t be deceived by villains anymore. She just wants those shares in your

hands!” Mason kept clamoring.
