The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 

Nataly’s carefully arranged plans were exposed by Marie, and without caring about her own. disguise, she blushed and shouted, “Marie! What do you think you are? You’re nothing more than Dennis’s nameless, insignificant sexual partner! You’re just warming his bed and now you have the nerve to get angry? Who is Dennis? He has seen all kinds of women; how could he possibly be interested in you?” 

Marie grabbed Nataly’s wrist and forcefully pushed her towards the door. As Nataly struggled and cursed, she said, “Did I say something wrong? Aren’t you just hiding behind Dennis without any real status, acting all high and mighty? Bitch! Dennis is mine!” 

Nataly was pushed with her hair disheveled, her slippers fell off inside the house, and she stood barefoot at the door, looking quite embarrassed. 

Marie sneered, “Ms. Carmen, even if I’m just a sexual partner, at least I’m not like you, trying every trick in the book and still Dennis doesn’t even give you a glance!” 

Marie threw Nataly’s high heels at her feet and slammed the door shut with a “bang.” 

Outside the door, Nataly’s face turned red with anger, and she cursed loudly a couple of times. 

Unwilling to give up, she left, but the key was still there. She believed she would find an opportunity eventually. If all else failed, she would climb onto Dennis’ bed, and she didn’t believe that Dennis 

would remain indifferent! 

Inside the house, Marie kicked off her slippers and returned to the living room. She sat on the sofa, but she couldn’t read a single word from the script on the coffee table. 

She just couldn’t lose face to Nataly, so she forcefully drove Nataly away. However, even though she knew that all of this was Nataly sowing discord and that it was all just an act by Nataly, it didn’t 

mean she wasn’t truly angry. 

She was very angry, angry that Nataly had the keys to Glorious Estate, angry that the woman boldly. walked in, angry that she wore Dennis’ slippers, and angry about the things she said. 

She said, “You were just following Dennis without any real status or recognition.” 

Yes, Dennis never said anything about liking her directly. He just had many, many hints, lots of ambiguity, and plenty of sweet talk. 

Marle felt happy that everyone thought Dennis liked her, and deep down, she knew she had feelings for Dennis too. So, naturally, she enjoyed this kind of good fortune. 

But when Nataly stood in front of her, repeatedly saying that she had no status or recognition, Marie truly realized that the so-called status was indeed very important. 

Just as she desperately wanted to stand openly by Seth’s side back then, she wanted Seth to give her an identity, a status, instead of being an assassin who could only live in the shadows wearing a 

mask. 

Seth gave the title to Wren, so who would Dennis give the title to? 

What exactly did I count as? 

Did Dennis experience a little girl in his long life? 

Eventually, he would get married and have children. Will I be the woman with status and identity 

who could drive others away and dominate? 

Marie knew that she shouldn’t doubt Dennis’s sincerity. She could see how good he had been to her 

all this time. 

But she just felt uneasy and couldn’t get out of this strange loop, sitting there from day until sunset, and then until the outside was brightly lit. 

She couldn’t understand, her heart was in complete chaos. 

Dennis finished work and returned to Glorious Estate. He searched his pocket for the keys but 

couldn’t find them. He then extended his hand to press his fingerprint, which opened the door. The 

room was pitch black. 

Dennis turned on the light in the foyer, and saw one of his slippers on the floor. He walked into the living room, and with the warm yellow light from the foyer, he could vaguely see someone sitting 

on the sofa. 

Dennis was taken aback, “Marie?” 

Marie sat quietly as Dennis walked in, bypassing another slipper. Before he reached Marie, he kicked something with his foot. Dennis looked down and saw a green pepper. 

It seemed as if a battle had taken place at home, with slippers and green peppers scattered all over 

the living room, and Marie’s script piled up in a mess. 

Dennis walked over, crouched down in front of Marie, pulled her closer to him, and asked, “Marie, what’s wrong?” 

Marie was clever, Dennis had a strong scent of perfume on him, and Nataly had a scent of perfume 

on her. 

How could the shirt have gotten such a strong smell without close contact? 

How close was Nataly to Dennis?Marie didn’t want to think about it. 

Nataly might have hugged and kissed Dennis, had the keys to Glorious Estate, worn Dennis’ slippers, and walked around confidently in the place Marie considered her second home. 

The luxurious perfume made her want to vomit at that moment. 

Marie stretched out her hand, pushed Dennis away, and shouted, “Don’t touch me!” 

Dennis paused, furrowed his brow, and asked, “Marie, what’s wrong?” 

Marie suddenly stood up and said, “I have to go!” 

Dennis grabbed her, but Marie recoiled as if she had been electrocuted. She rubbed her hand in disgust. Dennis, with a cold expression, asked, “Do you despise me?” 

Marie hung her head, not saying a word. The room was dimly lit by the foyer light, and Dennis couldn’t see her face clearly. All he saw was her head hanging down, silent. 

“Marie, speak up, what happened?” Dennis asked again. 

Marie still had her head down and muttered, “Nataly has arrived.” 

“What?” Dennis didn’t react immediately. In the past, Marie had also seen Nataly many times, and he had clearly stated that he didn’t like Nataly. He thought Nataly wouldn’t cause much trouble for 

Marie. 

“Nataly came in, she opened the door herself. Dennis, why does Nataly have a key to this place?” 

Marie looked up and asked Dennis. 

Although the living room was dim, Dennis could still see Marie’s bright, clear eyes. It seemed as if 

there were tears shimmering in them, but it could have just been the light from outside that made 

him see things. 

Dennis choked, he didn’t know how Nataly could have had the key to Glorious Estate. 

He subconsciously touched his pocket and suddenly remembered that Nataly had fallen on him today. Where had his keys gone? 

“Maybe she took my…” Dennis was about to say “keys” when Marie interrupted him, “Did she reach into your pocket and take the keys? Dennis, why didn’t you just tell me she took off your 

pants?” 

Dennis frowned, feeling somewhat irritated. He knew that when Marie was in this state, she was upset and would push him to argue with her, saying anything that came to mind. 

“Marie, you clearly knew I wouldn’t do that!” Dennis said. 

“I don’t know! You guys grew up together since childhood, how long have I known you? What do 1 

know?” 

Marie, like a hedgehog with all its defenses up, glared and vented her anger at Dennis. 

“Marie! How could I possibly give the house key to Nataly? You clearly knew she was up to something!” Dennis shouted, rubbing his forehead.
