Chapter 194
Get Bos
She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. The red marks on her neck were printed on her
snow-white skin, and she roared, “Dennis Whitney!”
Dennis, who was far away on the plane, sneezed suddenly. Cullen immediately asked, “Mr. Huard, did you
catch a cold?”
Dennis shook his head and smiled, “Maybe Marie misses me.”
Cullen was speechless.
He was already so jealous when they were dating. Now that they were engaged, they were too much for single guys like him.
Dennis stopped smiling and asked, “Clayton said he had something to tell me. Did you find out about Rose?”
Cullen shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Mr. Philemon insisted on telling you in person. Maybe he found something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let you come here like this.”
Dennis didn’t show any emotion on his face, but Cullen knew he was worried that among the things Clayton. had discovered, there would be implications involving Marie.
Back in New York, after washing up. Marie changed into a turtleneck dress to cover the red marks on her
neck and returned to the Spence mansion. Dennis just proposed to me yesterday and I didn’t come home with
him all night. Grandpa might be thinking nonsense again.
As soon as he saw her enter, Asher asked with a smile, “Why are you back alone? Where’s Dennis?”
Marie pouted and teased, “He’s on a business trip. Grandpa, I’m your real granddaughter. Can you care more
about me?”
Asher looked at her cheerfully. “You are my granddaughter, and Dennis is my grandson-in-law! It’s the same to
care about anyone.”
Marie retorted, “Grandpa! What grandson-in-law? Don’t always talk about this.”
Asher was not annoyed and continued with a smile, “Okay, I won’t talk about it anymore, but you and Dennis
have to be careful. It’s not good to have a baby if you’re not married yet. You still have to be careful…”
“Grandpa!” With a flushed face, Marie looked at Asher as if she would run away from home if he continued
speaking.
Only then did Asher wave his hand and concede. “Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore.”
Marie sighed. The proposal really made Asher extremely happy. In the past few days, Asher was never in low
spirits. Every day, he couldn’t wait to urge Marie and Dennis to get married soon!
Marie was sitting in the living room with Asher when it got noisy outside. Asher frowned and asked, “Edward,
go out and have a look. What’s the noise outside?”
Marie stood up and offered. “I’ll go with Edward.”

Asher nodded, lowered his head, and played with the chess piece in his hand, entertaining himself.
Marie came out because she knew that it was Mia who was causing trouble. She had specially instructed the
housekeepers here that Asher was not in good health and needed to rest, and anyone who came over from
Mia’s side had to be stopped outside.
When Marie and Edward walked out, it was indeed Mia and Mason who were making a fuss outside. When
Mason saw Marie come out, he was about to rush over. “You wicked woman! Come over here!”
Standing on the steps with her arms folded, Marie asked, “Mr. Spence, what can I do for you?”
Mason scolded her angrily, “Look what you’ve done to Noel! He’s still in the hospital now!”
Frowning, Marie replied, “What does Noel’s accident have to do with me?”
Mia cried as she leaned into Mason’s arms and said, “Marie, Noel didn’t do anything to you. Why are you doing this to him? He had a car accident, and you actually left him all alone in the hospital. Now he just woke
up and wants to see you. Why on earth is that?”
Marie sneered, “Why? Your son had a car accident. You should ask him. I’m not his mother, there’s no need
for me to stay with him in the hospital all day!”
Mia had always acted so pitiful in front of Mason, crying with a torrent of tears. If it weren’t for Mason supporting her, Mia would have knelt down. She cried, “Marie, I’m begging you. Just go and see Noel. He just woke up and is already clamoring to be discharged. How can he recover properly in such a weak state?”
At that moment, Marie was full of resentment toward this family, and she hated Noel even more. Although she was not sure how much Noel knew about what had happened back then, as soon as she saw Noel, she couldn’t help but think that Mason had abandoned them because of this illegitimate son.
Looking indifferently at Mia’s crying and shouting performance, Marie said coldly, “Grandpa is not in good health and needs to rest. Mrs. Spence is emotionally unstable. Please go home!”
After saying that, she turned around and walked back.
But Mia was not willing to stop. Noel is my most precious son. I hope that when Asher dies, my son can inherit the Spence family’s business, and I can comfortably continue to be the lady of the Spence family.
Although Noel didn’t have any major issues this time, as soon as he woke up and didn’t see Marie, he insisted on being discharged from the hospital. Naturally, Mia was not pleased. How could my son get entangled with this damn girl?
Originally, she wanted to make a scene here, but she did not expect that Marie would not even let them in. The last time father was sick, he had to be hospitalized. It means he is dying, isn’t it?
In that case, I can’t let Marie take care of him alone. What will happen to the shares when he passes away?
Mia pushed away the housekeeper in front of her who was pulling her and suddenly rushed into the mansion, shouting, “Dad! Dad! You have to help us!”
Startled, Marie ran over to pull Mia away, but Mia ran so fast that she was already at the living room in the
blink of an eye.

Asher was still sitting in the living room playing chess. He saw Mia rushing in looking disheveled. She knelt
down in front of him and pleaded, “Dad! Please go and see Noel!”
Stunned, Asher asked nervously. “What’s wrong with Noel? What’s wrong with my grandson?”
With a cold expression, Marie said, “Luca, get Mrs. Spence out of here! Grandpa, don’t listen to her nonsense.
It’s nothing.”
She knew that Noel was a treasure in Asher’s heart. After all, he was the only male of the Spence family. Asher had high hopes for Noel, hoping that he could lead the Spence Group to go global.
Therefore, Marie had not done anything to Mia for a long time. Gavin had exhorted repeatedly that Asher couldn’t be subjected to any stimulation at all. She just wanted him to be safe and healthy.
