Andres nodded and said, “Since you’re fine, I’ll leave first”

After saying that, Andres left without looking back, not at all as anxious as he had just come here.

“Andres must be jealous of thinking that you’re sick because of that man,” said Marie, knowing well

what

made him uncomfortable.

Iliana lowered her head and muttered, “Why is he jealous?”

Marie poked Iliana’s head and said, “Don’t tell me you can’t see what’s on Andres’ mind. We all see it

clearly.”

Iliana shook her head and said, “No, who Andres likes is Nataly.”

“If he really likes Nataly, why did he throw her at the banquet and come to the hospital as soon as he

heard

that you were sick?” asked Marie.

Iliana lowered her head and said nothing. After a long time, Marie said, “Well, it’s getting late. Go to

bed. III

stay here with you.”

Iliana was worried that no one would accompany her, and she fell asleep with Marie here.

As soon as Andres walked out of the ward, his cell phone rang. Nataly called and said in a feeble

voice,

“Andres, my car was hit on the road… Can you take me to the hospital?”

Terrified, Andres immediately drove back and saw Nataly’s car hit the railing on the side of the road.

There

was still blood on her forehead. As soon as she saw Andres, she fainted.

Andres took Nataly to Gavin’s place. Gavin gave her a simple check and said, “It’s okay. Just a bit

wounded.

Take some medicine and rest for a while.”

Only then did Andres feel relieved. Nataly lay on the hospital bed and fell asleep, but she grabbed his

hand tightly. Andres could only stay with her in the ward.

Nataly initially wanted to pretend to be sick, but she was afraid that Andres would not come over if she

and

Iliana were sick at the same time, so she simply crashed the car into the railing and received some

injuries to

make it more realistic.

Anyway, Nataly had already hit her head, so she called Dennis first and said that she had a car

accident.

Before she could finish her sentence, Dennis interrupted her, “Go to the insurance company for the

car.

accident. You can call an ambulance by yourself when you’re sober. I’m busy.”

Then he hung up the phone. Since Nataly had angered Dennis last time, he was no longer as nice to

her as

before, as if he was eager to draw a line with her immediately.

Nataly had no choice but to call Andres. Sure enough, he came without saying a word.

She knew that Andres still had her in his heart, and she would always be there. No one could take him

away from her!

The next day, when Marie went through the discharge procedures for Iliana and took her out of the

hospital, Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

she ran into Andres, who was helping Nataly to take the elevator.

With a smile on her face, Nataly leaned half of her body against Andres and said, “Andres, thank you

for accompanying me all night. I really don’t know what to do without you.”

“Be careful next time you drive. Fortunately, it’s nothing serious this time.” Although Andres was

scolding her,

the concern in his tone could not be hidden.

Iliana thought that Andres was angry with her last night, so he left without saying a word. It turned out

that

something happened to Nataly and he was busy looking for her.

Iliana smiled bitterly and looked at Marie. “Do you still think Andres likes me now?”

When Marie helped Iliana into the elevator, Andres was stunned for a moment when he saw them. He

subconsciously tried to move his hand away, but Nataly held his arm tightly.

Marie glared at Andres and said nothing. What a mess is this?

Andres had pestered her all day long about Iliana, and it was not easy for Marie to say a few good

words to

him, and Andres immediately slapped her in the face.

“Iliana, I…” Andres was about to explain something.

Iliana interrupted him, “Good morning, Mr. Robert.”

Her manner had reverted to the one in which they had first met, courteous and distant.

Like a victorious rooster, Nataly leaned against Andres and said in a soft voice, “Andres, I’m dizzy. Buy

me

some seafood porridge from Friendship Street later.”

With that, Nataly raised her eyebrows and glanced at Marie and Iliana. They were just two arrogant

vixens, and they still wanted to steal her man?

Iliana kept her head down without saying a word, as if she couldn’t see the intimate look of Nataly and

Andres at all.

With a snort, Marie said, “Ms. Carmen, if you’re dizzy, go back and sleep more. Besides, you can’t eat

seafood

if you have wounds. Do you have any common sense?”

Nataly’s face turned sullen. She was just randomly saying that to piss them off. How could she think so

much about it?

When the elevator arrived on the first floor, Marie helped Iliana get into the car and left. Andres

hurriedly sent

Nataly home like a deflated ball. He didn’t buy any seafood porridge at all.

After Iliana got settled, Marie went back to the studio to deal with work.

Sasha’s movie, Double Sided, was sent to the Europe Film Festival for selection, and it was

successfully shortlisted. So this year, she had to go abroad and walk the red carpet at the Europe Film

Festival.

The schedule of Sasha’s future would have to be discussed again. Since Darwin had won the Best

Actor Award, his net worth had risen, and he couldn’t be idle for the next few months before Christmas.

He should

take on more advertisements to increase exposure.

At the same time, there was news from Emory that the Terry Group had a batch of underground goods

sent to the coastal area to be transported through the Caribbean there. The so-called underground

goods were. either drugs, or firearms. The latter would be sold, while the drug would have to be

burned.

What Emory meant was that he wanted to intercept this batch of goods. Emory and the others would

not be

merciful in anything that involved the Terry Group.

Moreover, Seth and Wren were only engaged, so he would not lend the Rodger Group’s power to the

Terry

Group, which meant Emory and the others had a good chance of winning.

Emory called to transfer Luca away for the time being. He also wanted to let Marie try to find a place to

store

the goods. Kate even wanted to let her participate in the mission. In the last battle at Wheaton Manor,

her

shooting ability was really amazing.

In fact, Marie was eager to try. She missed the feeling of returning to the battlefield so much.

Sometimes people were really strange and contradictory. She desperately wanted to keep her current

identity and have this comfortable and calm life, but at the same time, she was clamoring for fighting

and killing.

However, Marie had repeatedly promised Dennis that she would not be in danger, let alone take risks

easily. Therefore, she was only an alternative and would not play unless they had no other choice. After

all, Emory and the others had too little manpower.

Anyway, she promised to help Emory find the next buyer to sell the goods.

Marie told Old Mr. Spence that she was going on a business trip to another state. After packing up with

Luca, she boarded the plane and flew to the coastal area.

After meeting up with Emory and Kate, the latter simply tossed the sniper rifle to Marie and asked her

to find an ambush spot.

It was just a smuggling transport. Most of the passengers on the ship were ordinary crew members,

with only a few people from the Terry Group escorting the goods. Luca and Kate’s task was to get on

the ship and kill the people from the Terry Group, then unload the goods naturally and transfer the

goods without anyone noticing.
