At the same time, Dereon made his debut as the third runner-up of the talent show. In order to support

him, Olive Spence took him to various shows and programs to increase his exposure.

On the other hand, Marie was either studying at school or working at Glorious Estate, or staying in her

studio to prepare for Zane’s work.

Avery Ruth of Global Medias was the most promising singer in recent years, and with his handsome

appearance and magnetic singing voice, he gained a large number of fans.

Recently, Global Medias was actively preparing for his concert. Marie Spence had asked Avery to meet

him through Andres Robert. After hearing Zane’s voice, Avery promised to bring him to on the

stage.

Therefore, Zane would be preparing for the concert with Avery for the time being, so there was no Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

need for Marie to worry.

Zane was the only person who was signed to the newly established studio, so when Marie was free,

she began to think about exploring other artists.

That day, Marie was watching TV at home. When the doorbell rang, she ran over and opened the door.

She was stunned to see an old man standing outside the door.

The man was wearing a custom-made suit. His beard was a little white, and his youthful

handsomeness could be vaguely seen.

Stunned for a moment, Marie asked, “Old Mr. Whitney?”

From similar eyebrows and eyes that looked the same, Marie knew that this was Dennis’s father.

The man was also stunned and said, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Marie stepped aside and invited Old Mr. Whitney into the house to sit down. She poured him some

water and said, “There is no tea at home. Please have some water.”

Old Mr. Whitney looked at the glass of water on the coffee table and smiled sarcastically. “Little girl, do

you really think this is your home?”

Stunned, Marie was used to talking to Dennis about what was going on at home these days.

She nodded, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”

Old Mr. Whitney said, “Little girl, you’re still young, but Dennis is not young anymore. There are a lot of

celebrities in New York waiting to meet him. I’m also old, and I’m still waiting for him to get

married and have children!”

Marie lowered her head and said nothing.

Get Bo

She didn’t know what to say. She was nobody. Dennis was good to her, but she wasn’t his girlfriend.

She just lived here.

The marriage and children that Old Mr. Whitney mentioned were too far away from her. She never

thought that she could get married and have children one day. It seemed that she was born to die

alone.

Marie hung her head and said nothing.

Old Mr. Whitney also sighed and said, “Little girl, your grandpa and I are old friends, so there are some

things that I won’t say anymore. You are a smart, and you know what to do.”

With that, Whitney stood up and left.

After sitting on the couch for ten minutes, Marie took out her phone and called her grandpa.

“Silly girl, do you still remember to call your grandpa?” old man teased her.

“Grandpa, I called you every week!” Marie was helpless.

“What’s the matter?” The old man asked.

“Grandpa, when are you moving to New York?” asked Marie Spence.

The old man said, “In a few days, the villa I bought is still being cleaned up, and I will move over

soon.”

“Grandpa, I’ll move over first. When you move here, we’ll still live together!” Marie immediately

said.

The old man paused and asked, “Girl, did you have a fight with Dennis?”

“No,” Marie said.

“Then why do you suddenly want to move back?” old man asked.

“Grandpa! Am I your granddaughter? Aren’t you happy that I’m moving back home?” Marie asked

coquettishly.

“Okay, okay. You can come back and stay with me if you want. I won’t say no to you” old man said

dotingly.

After that, Marie hung up the phone, went back to her room to pack her things, and took a taxi to

Cloudy Villa.

Old man’s villa was next to Mason Spence’s family. Instead of going to Mason’s, she went directly to

old man’s villa. A few servants were cleaning the house. When they saw her coming in, they

immediately greeted, “Hello, Ms. Spence.”

Marie asked, “Is my room ready?”

A servant led her upstairs and said, “The room is almost ready. Which bedroom do you want to live

in, Ms. Spence?”

Marie opened one of the rooms. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the sunset shone in.

Marie smiled and said, “This one.”

The servant went over to pick up her suitcase, and Marie refused, “Go ahead. I’ll settle myself in.”

She was depressed. Old Mr. Whitney was right. Dennis always wanted to get married and have

children, but she had never thought about that.

She turned off her phone and lay on the bed, not wanting to talk to anyone.

It was getting dark when Dennis returned to Glorious Estate. He knocked on the door, it was Melissa

who opened it.

Melissa greeted with a smile, “Hello, sir.”

Dennis nodded. He didn’t hear the familiar girl’s laughter in the living room. He strode into the

room, and the living room was empty.

Dennis opened the door of Marie room. The room was also empty, and the quilt was neatly folded.

Dennis asked, “Where’s Marie?”

Melissa was confused and said, “Ms. Spence wasn’t here when I came to cook in the afternoon.”

Dennis called her, but her phone was off. He called Cullen and asked, “Go check it out! Marie is

missing!”

Cullen was so scared that he immediately ran to check the surveillance of Glorious Estate and was

dumbfounded.

He stood in the living room and reported cautiously to Dennis, “Old Mr. Whitney was here today, and

then Ms. Spence left with her suitcase…”

Dennis’s face turned dark as he stood up and walked towards the door. Cullen immediately followed,

“Mr. Whitney, it’s still not appropriate to fight against Old Mr. Whitney at this time!”

Dennis ignored him, got into the car, and left.

The Whitney family…

Old Mr. Whitney was sitting in the living room while Kevin was talking to him. The silence of the night

was broken by the sound of speeding car.

The shrill sound of brakes was heard, and the expensive car stopped in the middle of the lawn of the

Whitney family. The man strode down and entered the living room.

Old Mr. Whitney sat on the sofa, raised his eyes to look at Dennis, and asked, “You still know to

come back?”

Dennis smiled, “If you hadn’t meddled too much, I wouldn’t have come back!”

“Dennis Whitney! Watch your attitude. I’m your father!” Old Mr. Whitney said angrily.

“Father? A father who abandoned his wife and children is not worth of being a father!” Dennis said

condescendingly.

“You! Do you not treat this place as your home at all? Have I ever treated you unfairly since you came

back?” Old Mr. Whitney coughed out of anger.

“I haven’t had a home since the day my mother died.” Dennis laughed mockingly.

Old Mr. Whitney’s cough got worse. Kevin tried to comfort him and took the opportunity to complain,

“Uncle Dennis, stop talking. Do you have to quarrel with my Grandpa?”

Dennis glanced at him and said, “Kevin, I know everything that you’re up to. If I don’t teach you a

lesson, just get the hell out of here!”

Kevin argued, “What do you mean? Uncle Dennis, what do you mean? Although I’m not as powerful

as you when

you take charge of the Whitney Group, but I’m not worthless, am I?”

Dennis glanced at him and said, “Do you want me to show your grandpa the photos of you fiddling and

gambling even getting prostitutes?”

Kevin’s face turned pale. He lowered his head and didn’t dare to speak.

Old Mr. Whitney sighed in disappointment. Dennis complained a lot about him because his mother died

young, but he was the best descendant of the Whitney family, and no one could be in charge of

the Whitney Group except him.

Kevin Whitney was his grandson. Although he was obedient, he was really ignorant and unable to take

on a big responsibility.

Dennis looked at Old Mr. Whitney and asked, “What did you say to her?”

Whitney looked up helplessly. “I’ve been friends with her grandfather for decades. How could I bully his

granddaughter? Are you here to confront me because of a little girl?”

Dennis asked in a deep voice, “What did you say to her?”

Old Mr. Whitney said irritably, “I said sooner or later you will get married and have children, so I told her

not to drag you behind! Dennis, think about it carefully. If this girl really loves you, I believe she’ll be fine

with my words. Since she doesn’t mean it, there’s no need to force her.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. You’d better worry about your precious grandson. If he talks

nonsense again, I’ll have his tongue cut off tomorrow!” Dennis turned around and left the living room

regardless of Old Mr. Whitney’s shout.

As he drove fast on the road, Cullen had already checked that Marie had moved to Cloudy Villa, the

place where her old man would live in New York in a few days.

Knowing that she was safe and where she was, Dennis hesitated.

He didn’t know if he should go to her.

It seemed that for so long, he had been trying to get close to her, trying to understand her, tenderly

being good to her, and doing his best to do nice things to her, but she ran away over and over again.

She’s so good at concealing herself. She occasionally showed her true emotions, but Dennis

couldn’t understand them.

It was as if Marie had placed a transparent high wall, separating herself from everyone else. Dennis

could see her, but he couldn’t touch her.

Old Mr. Whitney just said that he would get married and have children in the future, and then Marie left.

So, she probably never thought about these things, right? Or maybe, she never thought that the person

in the future would be Dennis, right?

Dennis’s car was parked outside Cloudy Villa. He sat in the car for an hour and finally drove back to

Glorious Estate. This was the first time that he gave up to be the initiative one.
