The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 

The grandfather and granddaughter were playing together when suddenly there was a commotion at the door. The housekeeper came in to deliver a message. “Mr. Spence and Mrs. Spence have 

arrived.” 

Marie had just turned around when she saw Mason and Mia storm in, asking, “Where’s Marie?” 

Marie got up from the carpet and stood up, asking, “Did you need me for something?” 

Mason pointed at her and shouted, “Did you think I wouldn’t know what you’ve done just because. you’re hiding here? Huh?” 

Marie laughed, “I didn’t hide, I’ve been living here all along.” 

Mason choked up and said, “You go to the police station and explain everything to me!” 

Marie, holding her hands, asked, “Mr. Spence, what would you like me to say?” 

“Carly didn’t kidnap you at all! You two just had a sisterly disagreement! There’s no need to involve the police in this matter!” Mason said loudly. 

“So, Mr. Spence, you want me to go and commit perjury?” asked Marie as she raised her eyebrows. 

and she looked at him. 

Marie kept calling him Mr. Spence, showing no respect for him at all. 

Mason became agitated, “You unfilial daughter! Do you have any sense of being a daughter? Always causing trouble! Are you satisfied only when you send your own sister to jail?” 

“Enough!” Asher’s cane hit the floor, and he pointed it at Mason, saying, “You claim Marie doesn’t act like a daughter, but what about you? Huh? Do you act like a father at all? All these years, have you ever looked at Marie properly? You say Marie causes trouble, but who hired a contract killer? 

Was it Marie?” 

Mason was stunned by what Asher said, and Mia knelt down in tears, “Dad, please, help Carly. She’s so young, how can she go to jail? Marie, please, I’m begging you. If you have any dissatisfaction, take it out on me, but let Carly go, okay?” 

Marie sneered, “Ms. Dillon, did you think you were completely innocent? Weren’t you the one who slandered me last time for getting pregnant before marriage? Who can say for sure whether you were involved in this incident or not? If you care so much about Carly, why don’t you go to jail with 

her?” 

How dare you!” Mason was furious and rushed forward, raising his hand to hit Marie. Marie blocked him with her hand, her eyes cold and said, “Mr. Spence, have you forgotten? I told you last time, you have no right to be my father, and even less right to hit me!” 

Mia rushed over and hugged Mason’s leg, crying and shouting, “Darling, don’t hit her, you can’t hit her, Marie is still young. Just talk to her nicely, she will listen.” 

Mason tenderly helped his wife up, the woman he pampered and loved. He was really angry that she had to kneel down to Marie, a young girl. 

Mia cried tearfully, “Dad! Please, I beg you, try to persuade Marie. Even if Carly is thoughtless, she is still a member of the Spence family. Do we really have to send her to jail? She won’t be able to bear such hardship…” 

Mia cried incessantly, knowing that as soon as Asher spoke up, Marie would not pursue the matter any further. 

Asher sighed helplessly, pulled Marie closer, and said, “Marie, I’ll give you the shares, let’s put this behind us. It wouldn’t be something to be proud of if the Spence family really had someone who had been in jail, and I wouldn’t know where to put my old face.” 

“Dad! How could you give her the shares?” Mason became anxious as soon as he heard the word 

shares. 

His qualifications were not high, and after working at Spence Group for so long, he could only barely keep the company running smoothly. He couldn’t take it any further, and Asher never mentioned giving him any shares. 

Mason had initially given up, thinking that after Asher left, the shares would all belong to Noel, which wouldn’t make much difference to him, so he didn’t argue. 

But now, Asher suddenly wanted to give the shares to Marie, and Mason felt like his things were being taken away by someone else. 

“Shut up! What’s more important, shares or your daughter’s life? Do you really want to save Carly?” asked Asher as he glared at Mason. 

Mia pulled Mason aside and whispered, “Darling, let it go, Carly is important.” 

Mason had no choice but to give up. 

Marie was not very happy and asked, “Carly was almost about to hire a contract killer, and she can still come back and be a noble young lady? Is that really something to be proud of?” 

Asher snorted, “What noble young lady! After doing such a thing, how could she have the face to stay? Let her go abroad! Send her far away, and don’t come back unless necessary!” 

Upon hearing this, Mia cried again, “Dadl Carly has never left home before, how could she adapt to being suddenly sent abroad? Besides, there’s also the marriage with the Hebert family. Father, you 

must make a decision!” 

As soon as the incident happened, the Hebert family came to call off the engagement. After all, the 

Get Bojtos 

two were only engaged and there were no written documents to deal with, so a verbal refusal was enough. 

Out of respect for Asher, the Hebert family sent someone to politely discuss the divorce date, but 

their disdain was still evident in their tone. 

No matter how much Mia and Mason tried to make amends, the Hebert family was determined to call off the wedding. They couldn’t possibly marry a daughter-in-law who was despised by 

everyone. 

Carly found out about it and caused a big commotion at home. Marie destroyed everything she had 

and, just as she initially said, took her Ira away. 

Asher stomped the floor angrily, “How could I make the decision? She brought such a scandal upon 

herself. How could the Hebert family still marry her? They have a big family and business and they could have any daughter-in-law they want! You’ve completely ruined my reputation!” 

“Dad…” called out Mia wanting to say more. 

“Alright! If not, let’s take her back to the police station!” Asher had made up his mind. 

Mia immediately closed her mouth, not daring to speak. 

Asher looked at Marie, and Marie nodded, “Since she is not going to be a noble young lady
