Chapter 38 Where Did the Remaining Money Come From ? " Mr. Whitney , there's one more thing , " Cullen suddenly remembered . " Speak . " " There was a strange incident where Ms. Spence fell down the stairs . It was said that her injuries were so severe that the doctors issued a critical condition notice . However , unexpectedly , she woke up after being unconscious for two days . Upon re - examination , the doctors realized they had misdiagnosed her , and it was just a concussion , " Cullen said . Dennis stared at the documents on the table , tapping his fingers on the surface one by one . Cullen knew that Dennis only did this when he was deep in thought . So Dennis was thinking , does that mean Marie was on the verge of death , and then suddenly . recovered ? Could it be that this Marie is not the original foolish Marie at all ? However , the information clearly stated that Mason's ex - wife only had one child , Maric . " Did you check on that ex - wife ? " Dennis asked . " I checked , but there isn't much information . Mason had no feelings for her , and having a child was an accident . He hardly ever took her out to meet friends . After she passed away , the Spence family cleared out all her belongings , so there's not much to find , " Cullen said . " Why would someone marry without love ? If it's a business alliance , there should be a powerful family behind it , right ? " Dennis asked . " Well … it is said that she is the daughter of an overseas compatriot , but the clues about that lady have been lost . After her death , all the housekeepers at Spence Mansion were replaced , with Ms. Dillon taking charge , and Mason just letting her do as she pleases , " Cullen explained . " What did she do with the 3 million dollars she borrowed today ? " Dennis asked . Cullen immediately said , " Buying a house … " " Buy a house ? " Dennis asked . " Yes , Ms. Spence bought a detached mansion in the west suburbs , with an area of 3,700 square feet , for a total of 6.75 million dollars , paid in full . " Cullen handed the real estate office's information to Dennis . " Where did the remaining $ 3.75 million dollars come from if she only borrowed $ 3 million dollars out of the full $ 6.75 million dollars ? " Dennis asked . " I'm not sure about that … All I know is that Ms. Spence paid in full , but I can't find out where the money came from , " Cullen said .

We must find out where the rest of the money came from ! " Dennis said . " Of course ! " Cullen immediately agreed . " What's the purpose of buying a house ? " Dennis asked . " The salesperson said that Ms. Spence didn't care about the price at the time , but she needed a large space for five or six people to live together . She chose the west suburbs because they were close to the airport and the docks , " Cullen explained . Five or six people Dennis tapped the table in thought . Marie had no friends growing up , and her mother passed away early . Where would five or six people come from to live in such a huge mansion ? " Keep an eye on that mansion and see who lives there ! " Dennis said . " Yes ! " Cullen said . He felt utterly embarrassed . As Dennis's assistant , he took great pride in his abilities , but they all seemed to fail him when it came to Marie . He couldn't find any useful information , and the more he investigated , the more mysteries he uncovered . After Cullen left , Dennis stood in front of the floor - to - ceiling window in his office , gazing at the bustling traffic below . He was reminded of a similar evening when the girl had climbed out of the window and fallen into his arms . I thought it was just a fleeting first encounter , but it turns out that this Marie has far more secrets hidden than I could have ever imagined . Marie , you've successfully piqued my interest .

The store clerk brought Mia and Carly four dresses , two for each of them - one to wear to the banquet and another as a backup . The two of them excitedly changed into their formal attire and applied makeup . When they stepped out again , they appeared as elegant ladies accompanied by their young daughters of noble birth .

You never used to attend these banquets , and now the clothing store didn't bring enough formal dresses . What are we going to do ? " Carly stood to the side , mocking her as she sneered , " Mom , if there's no formal dress , then don't let Marie go to the banquet . It's okay to miss it this time ; there will be another one . Otherwise , not wearing a formal dress would be really rude .
