The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 

Although Marie said it was just a slight pain in her shoulder and nothing serious, Dennis was still worried. He insisted on taking her to Gavin for a check-up to make sure there were no issues with her wound before letting it 

Gavin also cried out with a sad face, “Please, I beg you! Can you not bring 

every small fight to me? Let me handle bigger issues! Don’t I deserve any 

respect?” 

Dennis furrowed his brow and said, “Marie was shot.” 

Gavin glanced at Marie and said, “Yeah! It was a gunshot wound from half a 

month ago. I bet the bullet that hit her has rusted by now! Man, do none of you have any common sense?” 

Dennis shook his head, “No, it’s just that anxiety deters rationale.” 

Gavin said, “I’m begging you, please stop flaunting your love. The whole world knows you have a girlfriend now.” 

Marie’s face turned slightly red and she asked, “You keep saying ‘we’ and ‘us’, 

but who else is there besides the two of us?” 

As soon as this was mentioned, Gavin became even more frustrated. “Andres! 

This was a gunshot wound from half a month ago. Look at Iliana, she had a knife wound almost two months ago! Andres kept coming over to check on her as if he had nothing better to do, acting like this was his own personal hospital!” 

Dennis shrugged, “He has his shares.” 

Gavin was speechless. 

There was no reasoning with him; the conversation couldn’t continue. In this hospital, both Dennis and Andres held shares, so he really had no choice. 

Marie didn’t care about all those trivial matters; she was only concerned about Iliana and took the opportunity to indulge her gossiping nature. “Did Andres bring Iliana here? Do they come often?” 

Gavin turned to Marie and complained, “Exactly! I kindly set him up with 

Iliana so he could make a clean break with Nataly sooner. Did I ask for him to harass me every day?” 

Dennis nodded, “Serves you right, that’s what you get for being nosy.” 

Gavin was rendered speechless. 

It seemed to make sense, as he spent all day trying to persuade Andres, telling him how understanding Iliana was and how manipulative Nataly could be. 

Gavin lay on the office desk, feeling down. “The whole world is filled with the sour smell of love, only I emit the fragrance of being a single pringle…” 

Dennis flipped through the magazine in his hand, not even looking up, “Those who line up outside the hospital every day waiting to see Mr. Hart, they shouldn’t be patients, right?” 

Gavin said, “Dennis, those mediocre women were not my cup of tea at all!” 

Dennis looked up and asked, “Can we really expect to meet angels while hanging out in nightclubs all day?” 

Marie looked at Gavin’s gritted teeth and quietly pulled Dennis, saying, 

“Well… let’s go first…” 

She estimated that among Gavin’s group of people, no one could be meaner than Dennis. She saw Gavin wanting to stab Dennis to death with a scalpel 

every day. 

Dennis put down the magazine and left the hospital with Marie. 

After confirming that Marie’s injuries were not serious, Dennis took Marie out for dinner. There was a video conference scheduled for the evening, so Dennis 

went to work. Marie asked Luca to take her back to the Spence mansion. 

After celebrating Asher’s birthday, she went on a business trip to France with 

Dennis. Then, she went to Bordeaux to discuss script matters. On top of that, she accidentally got shot and, afraid of worrying Asher, Marie hadn’t returned for a long time. 

Upon entering, Asher hadn’t gone to sleep yet and was sitting in the living room playing chess with Noel. When he saw Marie come in, he glanced at her 

and then, acting aloof, the old man turned his head away and ignored her. 

Marie immediately ran over eagerly and said, “Grandpa! Look at me, 

back!” 

I’m 

Asher was playing chess and shook his head, “Who? I don’t recognize them.” 

Marie shook Asher’s arm and said, “Grandpa, I am your favorite granddaughter Marie! You love me the most!” 

Asher frowned and said, “My granddaughter has been missing for about ten 

days to half a month.” 

Marie hugged Asher tightly and wouldn’t let go, “Grandpa! I know I was 

wrong! I won’t dare to do it again!” 

Asher glared at her and then relaxed, saying, “Kiddo! You still know how to 

come back?” 

Marie sat down with a laugh, “Look at what you’re saying, isn’t it because I’ve 

been busy with work? I couldn’t come back, but I’ve been thinking about you! 

thought about you while eating and even while sleeping!” 

Asher was cheered up by her, poked her forehead, and said, “Alright! You sure 

know how to talk.” 

Marie rubbed her head and said, “Since you’re busy playing chess, I’ll go take 

a shower first, and then come down to chat with you later.”
