Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend
“Mr. Whitney, this is my family matter. Please, Mr. Whitney, step aside!” Noel said with an
unfriendly expression.
“But, I’m not your family.” Marie stood behind Dennis and said lightly.
Noel: “Marie…”
“Noel, I’ll still call you Noel, because we’re not enemies yet. If you want to protect Carly, then don’t
provoke me. I don’t need your kindness or your protection. Please stay away from me.” Marie spoke
very calmly, just wanting to make things clear.
Noel wanted to say something else, but Dennis, already impatient, pulled Marie away.
Stepping out of the backyard, Dennis finally let go of her. Marie rubbed her wrist and asked, “How did
you get here?”
“Let’s have dinner together today,” Dennis said.
“Didn’t I say it would be in two days?” Marie said, feeling helpless.
“In a couple of days, I’ll be heading back to New York,” Dennis said solemnly.
Marie looked up, meeting those ink–black eyes, as still as obsidian, gazing at her like a whirlpool.
Marie’s heart suddenly trembled. For so many days, Dennis had always been in front of her, and she
had forgotten that he was from New York and wouldn’t always be in Las Vegas.
“Oh… well… what would you like to eat? My treat.” Marie smiled, pulling up the corners of her
mouth.
Dennis stared at her for a full minute without speaking. Marie felt uncomfortable under his gaze and
was just about to turn her head away when Dennis raised his hand and gently pinched her chin.
The man’s voice, tinged with anger and a hint of caution, rang out above her head: “Who did this?”
The simple three words, spoken from his lips, suddenly imbued the cold, clear voice with a hint of
warmth.
Marie’s nose tingled, and she raised her head with a smile, saying, “It’s alright, I didn’t suffer any
loss.”
“Where else are you hurt?” Dennis asked.
“Wait for me, I’ll go change my clothes, and then we can go eat,” Marie said with a smile.
Before Dennis could answer, Marie had already run back to her room.
With a loud bang, she closed the door. Raising her hand to touch her face, she realized that tears

had unknowingly started to fall.

She didn’t know why, but the look on Dennis‘ face and the tone of his voice as he cautiously asked her
who had hit her made her feel wronged. Neither Rose nor Marie had ever shown her this kind of
concern before, and it made her feel both uncomfortable and yet yearning for more.
She was tangled up in her own sensitivity and emotions. She went to the bathroom to wash her face,
tied her hair up in a bun, changed her clothes, and headed out.
Cullen was waiting at the door as Marie and Dennis came out. Smiling, he greeted Marie, “Ms.
Spence.”
Marie also laughed, and Cullen opened the back door of the car, allowing the two of them to get in.
Dennis asked, “Where should we eat?”
Marie thought for a moment, “Do you feel like eating Greek food?”
“Do you want to eat?” Dennis asked.
“Yeah, what’s up?” Marie said.
“No way,” Dennis immediately objected.
“Why?” Marie asked.
“Let’s eat something light,” Dennis said. “Cullen, find a healthy deli for us.
“Alright!” Cullen immediately took out his phone to use the navigation, and then set off driving.
“Dennis, I don’t want deli cuisine!” Marie rolled her eyes.
“Take me out for a meal, and listen to what I have to say,” Dennis said.
Marie was speechless. When they arrived at the restaurant, she had no choice but to follow Dennis
inside.
After sitting down, Dennis ordered some food. Apart from oatmeal, he chose light dishes. Marie, who
had been craving for some meat and fish, clenched her teeth and asked, “Dennis, are you getting
old?”
“What?” Dennis glanced at her.
“Only old people need to worry about their health!” Marie was so annoyed that she wanted to smash
the plate.
“Oh.” Dennis didn’t even lift his head and ordered another serving of finger food.
The dishes were served, all of them light and delicate. Marie, on the verge of tears, swallowed her
bland oatmeal with bananas and raisins, and asked, “When are you going back to New York?”

“In a couple of days, we’ll leave,” said Dennis.
“Are you in such a hurry?” Marie asked.
“This time, I came to celebrate Old Mr. Spence’s birthday and to handle some branch office affairs.
Once I’m done, I should leave, as there are many things to do in New York,” said Dennis.
“So, will you come back to Las Vegas in the future?” Marie asked, stirring her oatmeal in circles with a
spoon.
Dennis looked up and raised an eyebrow at her, “Do you want me to come?”
The man’s eyes were pitch black, staring intently at her. Marie’s heart skipped a beat, and she lowered
her head, saying, “I can’t make decisions about your matters.”
“You can try to decide,” Dennis said.
Marie looked up, not quite grasping the situation. She wondered, “How should I decide?” What did
Dennis mean by this?
Dennis looked at the girl’s stunned little face, picked up a chopstick–full of vegetables and placed it on
her plate, smiling, “Eat up.”
Marie quietly lowered her head and ate her meal, still troubled by what Dennis had just said.
Dennis’s phone suddenly rang. He picked up a napkin and leisurely wiped his mouth before
answering, “Go ahead.”
“Handle it according to the contract breach regulations, and after calculating everything, send the
details to Terry Group,” Dennis said.
Over there, someone said something else, and a hint of impatience appeared on Dennis’s face: “No
need, you have full authority to handle everything after terminating the cooperation. If Terry Group
calls, just tell them I’m not here.”
Then he hung up the phone, and Marie raised her eyebrows, asking, “Having trouble working with
Terry Group?”
“Yesterday, Terry Group leaked business information, allegedly breaching the contract,” Dennis said
briefly.
Marie felt a slight stir in her heart. Yesterday, after the banquet ended, Cullen had mentioned
something to Dennis about what the media knew. Dennis had left in a hurry, and today, Terry Group
was suspected of breaching a contract. In other words, Emory and Kate had succeeded in their plan.
“Did you
suffer a huge loss after the failed collaboration with Terry Group?” Marie asked.
“Care about me?” Dennis raised an eyebrow.

“No, just asking.” Marie rolled her eyes at him.
“There have been some losses, but Terry Group isn’t the only option. It’s fine if we don’t cooperate,”
Dennis said.
“That’s good,” Marie muttered, looking down.
“You seem to be quite concerned about the Terry Group?” Dennis asked.
No, not at all. Just asking casually, Marie immediately denied.
So, that means you care about me, right? After going in circles, the conversation returned to this topic.
Marie kept her head down, focusing on her meal, and firmly refused to engage in conversation.
Dennis chuckled softly and asked, “The university entrance exam is just a few months away. Have you
decided on a major yet?”
“Do you think I can become an agent? I want to start an entertainment company,” Marie finally
looked up and spoke to him..
“Oh? What made you think of doing this?” Dennis asked.
“I enjoy working behind the scenes,” Marie laughed.
“Sure, which company would you like to intern at?” Dennis asked.
“Can I go to any of them?” Marie laughed.
“Sure,” Dennis said.
“Then I’d like to go to KBK,” Marie said.
“Olive Spence’s entertainment company? Aren’t you afraid she’ll give you a hard time?” Dennis
asked.
“Would the sisters of the Spence family really leave me alone if I don’t go to KBK?” Marie retorted.
“Once you get into Yale University, I’ll let you join KBK,” said Dennis.
Marie knows about Yale University, one of the top five higher education institutions in the country.
“Why does it have to be Yale University?” Marie asked.
“Yale University has a high overall rating, so you’ll have more options. Agents don’t have high
educational requirements, and since you enjoy working behind the scenes, you could try studying
screenwriting. In the future, it would also be great to work as a director,” Dennis suggested.
Marie listened quietly, not saying a word. There were still many things she only half–understood.

The original Marie, whose body she now inhabited, had done quite a bit of research, but she herself
was just a newcomer to all of this.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you want to go to New York?” Dennis asked.
“No, Grandpa said that the Luo family will eventually expand to New York, so we’ll have to go there
sooner or later,” Marie said.
“After you finish your university entrance exam, you can come to New York for an internship. I’ll arrange
for you to join KBK,” Dennis said.
“KBK isn’t your company, are you sure I can go in?” Marie hesitated a bit.
“Don’t believe me?” Dennis raised an eyebrow.
“No, it’s just that I’m used to believing in myself,” Marie said with a smile.
Dennis reached out and gently tousled her bangs, sa..
“Let’s eat.”
After much difficulty, Marie finally finished the bowl of oatmeal, letting out a sigh. This meal was just too
bland for her taste.
“Do you want to go back?” Dennis asked her.
“Take me to the kickboxing gym, I have training today,” Marie said.
Dennis raised an eyebrow, wondering if Marie had really learned these skills in a combat class.
Marie went to pay the bill, and the two of them left the restaurant. Dennis fetched the car and opened
the passenger door for Marie.
Marie sat down, fastened her seatbelt, and asked, “Where’s Cullen?”
“Back at the company,” Dennis said.
Marie chuckled, “Cullen really works hard, being both a driver and an assistant. Luckily, he’s a strong
man; I doubt a woman could handle it all.”
“I don’t hire female assistants,” Dennis said.
“Dennis, if you keep acting so aloof, you’ll end up all alone,” Marie teased him.
“Don’t worry, it’ll happen,” Dennis glanced at her.
Marie’s gaze made him blush, so he turned to look out the window. Dennis parked the car in the
kickboxing gym’s parking spot and got out.
“Are you going in too?” Marie asked.
“Boring, let’s take a look.” Dennis followed Marie as they entered the venue.

Upon seeing Marle, Levi smiled and said, “You haven’t been here for a few days, I thought you had
given up on practicing!”
“How could this be? Mr. Martin, please wait a moment while I change my clothes.” Marie headed.
towards the changing room.
Dennis finds a spot to sit down and asks, “Does she come here to train often?”
Levi loved to chat, and he was talking to Dennis: “No, I’ve only practiced once. I’m just a sparring
partner, and that little girl is quite fierce when she fights.”
As they were talking, Marie came out wearing her workout clothes. Her hair, which was previously in a
bun, was now in a high ponytail. She wore a black sports bra, revealing her well–defined abs, and
black leggings that hugged her slender legs. In an instant, the girl transformed from a delicate
look to a sporty one.
Entering the sports field, Levi asked, “Same old rules?”
“Alright, the usual way,” Marie said.
Levi immediately attacked, but Marie dodged to the side, threw a punch, swiftly moved, and kicked her
leg in one fluid motion. Her attack was as smooth as flowing water, not at all like someone who
had only trained once.
Dennis’s curiosity surfaced once again, who exactly is this girl?
After playing for 20 minutes, both of them were drenched in sweat. During the break, Marie, panting
heavily, sat inside the court, not caring about the sweat dripping from her forehead, and gulped down
water.
Dennis said, “Your punch is too slow, and your kick lacks power.‘
Marie laughed, “Can you do it?”
Dennis raises an eyebrow: “Want to give it a try?”
“Let’s give it a try!” Marie stood up and stretched her muscles.
Dennis leisurely walked into the venue, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt to reveal his well–defined
forearms.
He smiled at Marie and said, “Let’s get started.”
Marie threw a quick punch, but no matter how fast she struck, Dennis easily dodged it, as if he was
always just a bit faster than her.
Marie panted heavily, but she couldn’t manage to touch the hem of his clothes, which left her extremely
frustrated.

She swiftly struck at Dennis’s face, but he dodged to the side, grabbing her wrist with his left hand.
Marie twisted her body and raised her right arm, attempting to elbow Dennis in the chest, but he
caught her once again.
With her hands locked, Marie instinctively relied on Dennis’s strength to turn over. She kicked out with
both legs, but Dennis swiftly moved to the side, trapping Marie securely in his embrace.
Marie’s hands were tied behind her back, pressed against Dennis. The man leaned in closer, his
slightly panting voice ringing in her ear, “Was that move just now also taught by Mr. Martin?”
Marie was taken aback, realizing she had been too absorbed in her actions. She had been relying on
instinct, and that last kick she delivered could have easily broken someone’s ribs if it had landed
solidly on a person.
Marie turned her head to avoid the man’s warm breath and said, “No, I taught myself.”
Dennis didn’t ask any further questions, and he loosened his grip. Marie, now free, turned around to
face Dennis, looking into his eyes.
For some reason, even though Dennis didn’t ask anything, Marie felt that he was getting close to
the truth.
The man’s perceptive gaze left her feeling uneasy. Had he conducted an investigation? What had he
discovered?
All the assassins in the Rodger Group are unidentified ghosts, and only within the Rodger Group do
their profiles exist.
So, no matter how Dennis tries to investigate, he shouldn’t be able to find any information about
Rose. She shouldn’t worry about this.
Levi hurried over, flustered, and said, “Hey girl, you can’t hit like that. What if you break your
boyfriend?”
Who said Dennis is Marie’s boyfriend?
Marie: “Mr. Min he isn’t…”
Dennis: “Mr. Martin is right, we can’t fight like this.”
“It’s not nothing, I can tell your boyfriend is skilled, and those two weren’t just playing around. Got
it?” Levi said.
Marie felt helpless, but she could only nod and say, “I’ll remember.”
Dennis seemed to be in a good mood and said, “I think we’ve practiced enough. Let’s go.”
Marie nodded, went to the changing room to grab her clothes, greeted Levi, and then left.

Sitting in Dennis’s car, Marie’s stomach suddenly let out an embarrassing growl. Marie felt mortified –
how embarrassing!
Dennis laughed, “Hungry?”
“Um… I had oatmeal for lunch… I’m still hungry…” Marie said, lowering her head, her face blushing
all the way to her ears. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“What would you like to eat?” Dennis asked.
“I want to go home and have dinner with Grandpa. Yesterday was my first day moving in, and I haven’t
had a meal with him yet,” Marie said.
“Alright, I’ll take you back,” Dennis said.
“Dennis, how are you so skilled?” Marie asked curiously. She thought that only the original Rose could
barely compete with Dennis, but Rose had been trained in the school of hard knocks for over a
decade, while Dennis had not.
“I’ve practiced.” Dennis’s answer was simple, as if he didn’t really want to discuss it.
Marie tactfully refrained from asking further questions.
As the car rounded the bend, Dennis pulled over and said, “Cullen mentioned that the muffins at the
corner shop are really delicious. Do you want to grab some to fill our stomachs?”
Marie nodded and got out of the car. There were a few people waiting in line at the entrance of the
shop. When it was Marie’s turn, she said, “Boss, I’d like a muffin, please.”
The boss packed a box for her and said, ” dollars and 50 cents.”
Marie patted her pocket and realized, shoot, she left her wallet at the kickboxing gym.
Dennis took out his wallet, handed the shopkeeper 5 dollars, and took the muffin. “Let’s go,” he
said.
Back in the car, Dennis handed her the muffin and said, “You owe me more and more now.”
Upon hearing this, Marie suddenly remembered the matter of the evening gown and asked, “Was it you
who had the gown delivered?”
