The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 

The dark muzzle of the gun was pressed against the woman’s forehead. She might have just tried to fight back, and Marie could have killed her with a single shot. 

Marie tore open her own shirt effortlessly, balled it up and stuffed it into the woman’s mouth, then grabbed a rope from the corner and helped the woman by tying her to the corner of the wall. 

Marie checked the gun, then opened the restroom window and looked down. It was the second floor, and she could totally jump down. 

Marie tucked the gun into her waist, jumped out of the window, and her legs went numb from the impact. Then she took out her phone, called the police, and reported that there was a fight going on here. 

In the private room, Dennis was already on the verge of exploding. He originally wanted Marie to leave by pretending to go to the restroom, as she had just mistakenly entered the room. As long as he and Clayton were there, those people wouldn’t give her a hard time. 

However, as soon as Marie left, the blonde woman went out too. Ten minutes. 

passed, and Marie still hadn’t returned. 

Dennis stood up and said, “I’ll go find her.” 

Aleron laughed, “Mr. Whitney, please be patient. Once the business is done, you’ll naturally be able to meet that beautiful young lady.” 

Dennis kept a straight face and said, “You want five cases of firearms? Why don’t you tell me the location of your base, and I can provide you with a long-term supply of firearms.” 

Aleron laughed heartily, “Wouldn’t it have been better if Mr. Whitney had agreed so readily earlier?” 

Aleron walked ahead, while Dennis and Clayton exchanged glances and 

Get Bortis 

followed behind. Just as they opened the private room, a person from outside 

suddenly rushed over to Aleron and said, “Boss, our goods have been stolen!” 

Aleron’s face turned pale as he was about to grab his gun, but Dennis already had his gun pressed against the back of Aleron’s head. In a deep voice, he asked, “Where are my people?” 

Clayton laughed and said, “Mr. LeBlanc, I advise you not to move around too much. Mr. Whitney’s bullets can be quite painful when they hit someone. 

Aleron slowly raised his hands, and Clayton took the gun from Aleron’s waist, 

saying, “Lead the way, once we’re out, we’ll let you go.” 

Several people in the hallway were holding guns, pointing them at Dennis and Clayton, but they didn’t dare to act recklessly. 

Dennis grabbed Aleron, while Clayton covered him, and they walked out. 

At the staircase, Dennis tapped Aleron’s head with his gun and asked, “Where’s the person?” 

Aleron shook his head, “I don’t know…” 

Dennis had a cold expression on his face, wondering where that damn blonde 

woman had taken Marie. 

Aleron thought he still had the upper hand and said with a smile, “Mr. Whitney, only that blonde woman knows the whereabouts of the young lady. How about you let me go, and I’ll help you find her?” 

“Really?” Dennis laughed coldly, glanced at Clayton, and Clayton raised his 

gun and waved it. With a bang, a bullet flew from the opposite building and hit 

a person’s thigh in the hallway. 

Aleron was taken aback, as he thought Dennis and Clayton had come to discuss business, and that their current conflict was simply due to a disagreement. He 

never expected them to have a sniper! 

Clayton said, “Aleron, I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise all these people in the hallway will die.” 

Aleron originally had a bodyguard protecting the corridor, but when they realized that Clayton and Dennis had a sniper, they became a bit panicked. 

Because no one knew how many snipers they had, who would be the next 

person to die? 

Clayton said, “Nobody move! We only want Aleron. Everyone else, put down your weapons, and I guarantee you’ll live!” 

No one moved, and no one put down their weapons; the atmosphere in the corridor had reached a freezing point. 

Although Clayton sent the address to Marie, he only thought the situation was going to worsen and wanted to use Marie to take Dennis away. 

Moreover, Dennis was his buddy, and Marie meant nothing to him, so he 

never even considered whether Marie would get hurt. 

But at this point, they couldn’t wait for Marie any longer, otherwise who knew if Aleron had any other help. 

The first floor had already been cleared, and Dennis dragged Aleron back to the entrance, still hesitating, hoping that Marie would appear. Clayton said, “Dennis! We can’t wait any longer!” 

After Marie finished her phone call, she heard a gunshot in the pub. 

Impulsively, she immediately ran to the entrance, wanting to go inside and find Dennis.
