Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? Marie took out her phone and pressed the play button . A clear voice came out of the phone : " You're just like your mother , with that seductive look on your face , always trying to lure men ! " " Carly , my mother has been gone for many years . Please show some respect and don't insult her with your words !" " It's because your mom had a short life that she died early ! She only gave birth to a lowly child like you ! Your mom couldn't compete with mine when it came to winning a man's heart ! " In just a few sentences , everyone could hear that Carly was repeatedly insulting Marie's deceased mother , even going so far as to mention her short life . " Carly , you've been the little princess of your family since you were young , pampered and spoiled. I can't compare to you , but my mother has passed away . How can I not be angry when you insult her . like this ? " Marie raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye , looking pitiful and helpless . Ira looked at Carly , his sweet girlfriend , in disbelief , unable to comprehend that the cruel words had just come from her mouth . " Ira , she's talking nonsense , it's not like that , it's not like that ! " a hint of estrangement in Ira's eyes . Carly hurriedly explained , but saw " Marie , why are you doing this to me ! Release the recording ! Didn't you say you were going to seduce Ira right in front of me ? " Carly screamed desperately . " Carly , what are you talking about ? I just met Mr. Ira Hebert for the first time today . Besides , who would casually throw around the word ' seduce' ? " Marie looked at her incredulously . In other words , Carly , you're the only one who always talks about seducing men . Carly was getting desperate ; she had run out of options . All she wanted was to get Marie out of the banquet , but who knew Marie had so many tricks up her sleeve ? " Marie ! You said your blood type is B , so is this laboratory report fake ? What were you doing at the hospital then ? If you're so confident , call the doctor to prove it for you . Otherwise , how would anyone here know your blood type ? " Even if you're not pregnant , it's true that you spent the night with a man at a hotel , right ? I'm just stating the truth . You're the one who did something shameful , so who can you blame ? " Marie was taken aback , thinking that she had already dealt a significant blow to Carly . However , she had completely forgotten about the day when they drank so much that they couldn't remember anything . In this photo , the man carrying her into the hotel is clearly Dennis , but at this point , involving Dennis wouldn't be good for his reputation . Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 26.93 % Get Borus But now, she couldn't call a doctor , nor could she get involved with Dennis . Wouldn't that be like jumping into the Yellow River and still not being able to wash herself clean ? " Yeah , Marie , Carly was wrong to disrespect your mom , and Auntie will definitely teach her a lesson when she gets back . But right now , we're talking about you . If you're so sure you're not pregnant , then why did you go to a hotel with a man ? And who was the doctor who examined you at the hospital ? " Mia noticed the change in the atmosphere and immediately stepped in to speak . The focus shifted back to Marie . Even though everyone now knew how malicious Carly's intentions were , if Marie couldn't explain herself clearly , it would only lead others to believe that all the sisters of the Spence family were the same . Marie glanced over at Dennis , who was sitting in the corner . The man held a wine glass and watched her quietly , his eyes revealing a hint of excitement as if he was witnessing a great show . So , after working myself to death cleaning up after this mother and daughter , Dennis is just enjoying the show ? There shouldn't be any problem with turning Dennis in , right ? But what if this guy goes crazy and doesn't admit it ? Wouldn't all my efforts be in vain ? Marie was feeling conflicted when she saw the man's thin lips slightly part . His attractive lips faintly uttered two words : " Eat dinner . " Eating? Still thinking about Marie treating you ? Eat , eat , eat ! You'll be stuffed ! Marie glared fiercely at Dennis , making an " OK " gesture with her small hand at her side . Dennis responded with a grin and a nod towards Cullen . " Ms. Marie ? Long time no see ! " A man in a white suit walked through the door , wearing gold - rimmed glasses and a playful , irreverent smile . " Gavin ? " Marie turned around , startled . " Wow , is Gavin some kind of summoned creature ? He appears as soon as he's mentioned ? " " Mrs. Spence , I am the doctor who treated Ms. Marie . She had previously fallen down the stairs and often experiences headaches , so she went to the hospital for a check - up , " Gavin said with a smile . Who doesn't know Gavin , the young master of a prestigious medical family ? If you can get a testimony from Gavin himself , how could it be false ? " Does Ms. Dillon believe me now ? I'm not pregnant . " Marie said . " But you did sleep with that random guy , it's a fact ! Carly screamed , unwilling to accept it . She Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.00 % Get Borus couldn't understand why , with the photos right there . " Marie could still get away unscathed ! " Who are you calling a wild man ? " The man in the corner sounded somewhat indignant . Everyone turned their heads to see Dennis putting down his wine glass , getting up from the couch , and walking over step by step . Dennis walked up to Marie , hands in his pockets , his expression cold and indifferent . " What kind of tutor is Ms. Carly ? All she talks about is seduction and wild men ? " " M - Mr . Whitney ? " Carly was shocked , Mia was shocked , Leo was shocked , and all the guests present were stunned . This drama is getting bigger and bigger , how did it even involve Dennis Whitney from New York ? " Who is the man in that photo ? Mia asked tentatively . " " It's me . " Dennis said . Done ! Dennis admitted it himself , could there be any doubt ? " Marie got drunk , and I happened to run into her . I took her to the hotel to rest . Ms. Dillon wouldn't think that I have any ill intentions towards a high school student , would she ? " Dennis said . " Of course not … definitely not … " Mia immediately replied . " Well, that's good . Please , Ms. Dillon , discipline your daughter and stop her from constantly talking about random men , " Dennis frowned , his tone quite unfriendly . " Yes , Mr. Whitney is absolutely right ! " Mia nodded repeatedly . Dennis was Asher's esteemed guest , someone she couldn't afford to offend under any circumstances . " Oh , that's right , Ms. Marie asked me to help her test some drugs , here's the laboratory report . " Gavin handed the laboratory report to Marie . Marie opened it with a sense of ceremony , and a shocked and heartbroken expression appeared on her face . Her hand loosened , and the laboratory report fell to the ground . Marie closed her eyes for a moment , tears falling down . She spoke with a sorrowful voice , " Ms. Dillon , where did I offend you ? Why are you doing this to me ? " " What ? When did I ever hurt you ? " Mia was speechless . What was Marie up to now ? " I had Dr. Hart test the vitamins that Ms. Dillon has been giving me since I was little , and they're full of hormones and adrenergic blocking agents . Was Ms. Dillon trying to turn me into an idiot ? " Marie said , crying . Someone picked up a laboratory report from the ground , and it quickly spread from one person to another , creating a huge commotion . It turned out that Mia had been giving Marie medicine for so many years ! Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.06 % Get Borus Mia felt as if she had been struck by lightning . She thought Marie was gradually losing her mind , but who would have thought that she could actually come up with the idea to test the medicine ! " Maric , what nonsense are you talking about ? The vitamins Auntie gave you couldn't possibly contain those things ! " Mia hurriedly defended . Before Marie could speak , a man with a hooligan - like appearance stumbled in and fell at Carly's feet , shouting loudly , " Ms. Carly , we did the job for you , and you can't just deny it afterwards ! Our brothers are still waiting for the money to eat ! " " Who are you ?! What are you helping Carly with ? " Ira asked impatiently , pulling Carly back a bit with a hint of disdain . " We followed Ms. Carly's instructions and tried to assault her sister , " the hooligan said . " Although we didn't succeed because someone saved her sister , our guys got hurt too . We can't just not get paid for that ! " Carly's face suddenly turned as pale as paper , and she thought , " It's all over , completely over ! " This sentence is like a lake , with a nuclear bomb thrown into it ! Just when things were starting to get sorted out , another person appeared out of nowhere , publicly accusing Carly of hiring someone to commit violence , intending to ruin the reputation of her own sister ! " Nonsense ! Where did this lunatic come from , slandering our Carly like this ? Do you even know where you are ? " Mia immediately stood up to defend Carly . " Ma'am , it's only fair to repay debts , no matter where we are . As soon as you give me the money , I'll leave immediately ! " The hooligan said firmly . Mia immediately called for security . " Someone come ! Get this lunatic out of here ! " Several security guards rushed in and dragged the hooligan away , but the words had already been spoken , and the guests were abuzz with discussion for a moment . Marie hooked her lips into a smile . It would be a waste if she didn't perform on this well - built stage . And so , with her eyes closed , Marie let two streams of tears fall , accentuating her delicate makeup , evoking a sense of pity in me . " Ms. Dillon , Carly , I'm just an insignificant person in the Spence family . If I did something wrong , you can hit me or scold me , but why did you drug me and try to ruin my reputation ? Thankfully , someone saved me last time , or else how could I go on living ? " " Nonsense ! How could Carly ever do such a thing ! Where did you find such a shady person to slander Carly ? " Mia demanded . Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.12 % Get Bor " Last time , it was me who saved Marie . Does Ms. Dillon think I'm lying too ? " Dennis suddenly spoke up coldly . " Mr. Whitney … no … of course not … " Mia was somewhat at a loss for words . I'll move to " Ms. Dillon , since you and Carly hate me so much and wish I were dead , from now on , the Spence Estate and live with Grandpa . I won't bother you anymore ! " Marie said , feeling wronged . Mia was taken aback . Marie had been laying the groundwork for so long , not only to ruin the image of her and her mother in public , but also to move out of the mansion and live with Asher . Over time , Asher would grow more and more affectionate towards her ! However , at this point , there was no other way . They had played all their cards , but they couldn't hurt her in the slightest . Marie stood there gracefully , and although Dennis remained silent by her side , Mia knew that no matter what evidence they presented , Dennis would refute them one by one . This cheeky girl , when did she quietly get involved with the Whitney family ? She even managed to have Dennis speak up for her multiple times . In contrast , Carly stood off to the side , disheartened and dispirited . Marie had completely destroyed her image , and even Ira hadn't offered her any consolation . " Marie , let's not air our dirty laundry in public . We can discuss this at home . " Mia reluctantly conceded . " Ms. Dillon said we should go home and talk things through with Dad and Grandpa . " Marie said gently , wiping away her tears . " Well , Mrs. Hebert , we'll be heading off now and will visit again another day . " Mia said as she bid farewell to Aria . Aria waved her hand , seemingly a bit impatient . Well , it made sense - with Mia turning her birthday banquet into a chaotic mess , how could she be in a good mood ? Mia instructed the driver to start the car , while Carly , with her head down , followed Mia out . Marie , on the other hand , was in high spirits , feeling quite triumphant . She turned her head to look at Dennis and asked , " Is this the person you were looking for ? " Dennis chuckled , " You owe me more and more now . " " Ms. Spence , it took Dennis a great deal of effort to get that hooligan to identify Carly. I was also waiting outside for a long time , ready to testify for you . " Gavin said with a charming smile . " Thank you both so much ! I'll treat you to a meal this weekend ! " Marie readily agreed . " Eat together ? Sounds great ! Gavin's face lit up with joy . " Suddenly , he felt a chill down his spine Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.18 % Get Boru and turned to see Dennis staring at him coldly . His heart skipped a beat , " Ahem … Actually , I just remembered I have plans this weekend . You guys go ahead and enjoy your meal . " Marie couldn't help but roll her eyes as she watched the exchange between the two people . She thought to herself , " Dennis is really being petty . Would having one more person really mean one less bite of food for him ? " " Then I'll treat Dennis first , and I'll treat you another day ! " Marie said , after all , Gavin had also been a great help this time . Gavin's eyelid twitched . Was this Marie trying to get him killed by Dennis ? Gavin turned to look at Dennis , his eyes pleading for mercy in the face of Dennis's cold gaze . " It's my fault for running my mouth , " he admitted . " So , should I agree or not agree now ? " Dennis just looked at him coldly , while Gavin was on the verge of tears . After all , he was still a baby ! Cullen suddenly walked over and whispered something to Dennis . Dennis was taken aback and asked , " The media knows ? " " Yes , the news has just been released , and Terry Group hasn't responded yet , " Cullen said . Let's go back first , Dennis said , glancing at Marie before asking , " Is your driver here ? " " Go ahead and take care of your business outside . " Marie said . Dennis looked a bit anxious , nodded , and followed Cullen into the car . Marie said goodbye to Gavin and got in the car to return to the Luo family home . Before even stepping through the door , Mia could be heard crying out loudly , " Darling , you have to stand up for us , your wife and daughter ! That girl Marie accused me of drugging her in public , and said Carly had someone assault her ! How could we possibly do such a thing ! " Marie sneered , " Well , isn't this a classic case of the guilty party filing the suit first ? " Jolie was already waiting at the door when she saw Marie returning . She immediately walked over and anxiously said , " Ms. Marie , don't go in there ! Mrs. Spence and Ms. Carly came back a few minutes ago and have already complained . Mr. Spence is furious right now ! " " Where's Grandpa ? " Marie asked . " Old Mr. Spence is at the Spence Estate , and he hasn't been disturbed yet , but the news about the Hebert family has already spread , and Edward is always well - informed , so Old Mr. Spence should know about it . " Jolie said . " Let's go and surprise Grandpa . " Marie said with a smile . Jolie immediately followed Marie towards the Spence Estate . As they entered , Asher glanced at Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.25 % Get Borus Marle and asked , " Marie , how was the banquet ? Did you have fun ? " Asher's mood was clearly not as good as it was in the evening , probably because he had heard about the commotion they had caused at the Hebert family's place . Marie smiled sweetly and said , " It's quite fun , I've met a few people ! " Asher looked into Marie's clear eyes , feeling a bit doubtful . After making such a big fuss , wouldn't she come back and complain to him ? " Marie , did anything happen at the banquet ? " Asher asked . Marie felt helpless ; wasn't this temptation too obvious ? " Yeah , I met Mr. Whitney , and we're having dinner together this weekend . " Marie deliberately mentioned the dinner plans . Asher pondered , he had never heard of Dennis having dinner with any socialite lady before . Could it be that he was genuinely interested in the young girl from his own family ? " Well , you should really thank them ! " Asher said . " What are you thanking me for ? " Marie asked . " Thank you for this beautiful dress ! Did you think Grandpa could predict the future and send you a dress ? " Asher raised his eyebrows as he looked at her . " Grandpa , is this formal attire a gift from Dennis ? " Marie asked , her eyes wide with surprise . " Yeah , Dennis really has a good eye for this ; this dress fits perfectly ! " Asher said , smiling as he looked at Marie . It was then that Marie remembered , when Dennis had his arms around her waist in the storeroom , he had said , " The dress fits you perfectly . " " So that's what it means ? " Additionally , as they were leaving , Dennis mentioned that Marie owed him more and more . At first , Marie thought he was referring to a favor , but now she realized that he probably included the cost of the dress as well . " Grandpa , why didn't you tell me earlier ? " Marie complained . " Would you have not worn it if I told you earlier ? " Asher said with a laugh . If she had known earlier , she wouldn't have naively boasted that the dress was a gift from Asher . " Alright , I know a little about the banquet . Aren't you going to tell me about it ? " Asher asked . Marie glanced at Asher , who appeared to be casually sipping his tea . However , Marie knew that if Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.31 % she said the wrong thing , all of their efforts today would be in vain . " Grandpa , can I move to the Spence Estate and live with you ? " Marie asked . " Why would you want to move in with an old man like me ? " Asher asked . Get Boetus " Grandpa , Ms. Dillon and Dad are close , but I feel caught in the middle , and it's uncomfortable for everyone . There are no more of my mother's belongings there either . You are the closest person to me , Grandpa , and I want to live with you and keep you company every day . " Marie said . " Move over here , but you should ask your father's opinion first . " Asher said . " I'll go tell my dad right away ! " Marie said with a smile . Marie quickly pulled Jolie back to the mansion , while Edward looked at Marie's retreating figure with a worried expression . He said , " Ms. Marie is going back like this , they won't let her come over easily . Old Mr. Spence , are you at ease with this ? " " I can't help but worry ! But this girl , after being silent for eighteen years , suddenly wants to face challenges head - on . She's bound to encounter some difficulties ! " Asher sighed . " Old Mr. Spence , Ms. Marie has had a tough life and has suffered a lot of bullying over there . Since Ms. Marie wants to come and accompany you , why don't you agree ? Besides, Mr. Whitney is taking good care of Ms. Marie now , and who knows , this might bring you great fortune in the future ! " Edward persuaded . " I wonder what Dennis sees in her ? " Asher said . " Old Mr. Spence , Ms. Marie is not only exceptionally beautiful , but her personality has also improved greatly. As your direct granddaughter , she is naturally the best ! " Edward said . " Yeah , she's his own granddaughter . Mason doesn't know how blessed he is . He has such a good wife , who gave birth to such a wonderful daughter , yet he refuses to accept her , " Asher sighed . " Old Mr. Spence , let's not talk about the past anymore . It only brings sadness to ourselves and upsets Ms. Marie , " Edward said . " Alright , enough talking . Let's go and check on Marie . We don't want her to suffer any injustice for no reason , " Asher said as he stood up . Edward helped him as they walked towards the door . As soon as Marie stepped into the mansion , Mason shouted angrily , " Unfilial daughter ! Come here ! Apologize to your mother ! " Mia's eyes filled with tears as she leaned into Mason's embrace and generously said , " It's alright , Darling . Don't scare the child . " Marie sneered , quite the actress she was . Standing at the door, she asked , " In this house , there isn't even a single portrait of my mother . How can you apologize to her ? " Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.37 % Get Borus " You ungrateful girl ! Come here and apologize ! Ms. Dillon works so hard to manage this household , and you actually embarrassed her at the banquet ! " Mason said angrily . Marie walked over and asked , " Excuse me , but why should I apologize ? " ' Apologize for Ms. Dillon's public slander about my premarital pregnancy ? " " Is it to apologize for the medicines she fed me for over a decade ? Or perhaps , does Dad want me to apologize to Ms. Dillon for driving my mother to her death ? " She spoke with conviction , each word striking like a hammer . Mason was left speechless , raising his hand and fiercely slapping her across the face . Caught off guard , Marie was slapped by a burly middle - aged man , causing her to fall to the ground . Her ears rang incessantly , and bright red blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth . Mia and Carly stood behind Mason , teasingly laughing at her . Marie covered her face and staggered to her feet , laughing sarcastically , " If it weren't for our blood relation , I'd really doubt if I were your daughter . " Mason raised his hand again , but this time , Marie firmly caught his falling slap . The young girl held her head high , her eyes filled with an icy , bone - chilling hatred . " Just now , that slap was in return for the life you gave me . From now on , please be mindful of your actions , Mr. Spence . You are not worthy of being my father , and therefore have no right to discipline me ! " Marie said , word for word . " Marie , have you lost your mind ? How dare you talk to Dad like that ! " Carly rushed over and shoved Marie , causing her to fall once again . Mason was taken aback by the hatred in her eyes . He let go of Carly and walked over , saying , " You belong to the Spence family , and I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget ! ' " Stop ! " Two voices rang out at the same time . Noel had just arrived home when he encountered Asher entering through the front door . What he saw was quite a scene : Marie had fallen to the ground , Mason was raising his hand , ready to hit her , while Mia and Carly stood by , simply watching . " Dad ! " " Grandpa ! " " Ms. Marie , come on , get up quickly ! " Edward rushed over to help Marie up , looking at her swollen face with great concern . " Marie , are you alright ? " Noel quickly walked over , raising his hand , wanting to check Marie's Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ? 27.43 % Injuries . Get Bort Marie turned her face away , dodging Noel's hand . Her voice was cold and distant , " It's fine , no need for your concern , Noel . " Noel withdrew his hand , his eyes dimming . Carly immediately exclaimed , " Noel , Marie doesn't think highly of us , so don't set yourself up for rejection ! " Marie glanced at her and sneered , " Yeah , Noel , I told you . You're stuck in the middle , courting a rebuff . " Noel stared at Marie , speechless and lost in thought . Chapter 44 Who Is the Wild Man ?
