The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 

Dennis didn’t believe it. Even if the photos and information were in front of him, he still 

wouldn’t believe it. 

The trust Marie had for him and that tenderness in her gaze those were genuine. She was not a spy, nor was she the childhood sweetheart Seth had sent to him. 

“Dennis! Just think about what she’s good at. Which lady knows combat, shooting, and racing? She could do those things because she had been trained since she was a child! 

Besides, those men and women whose identities we can’t figure out, as well as the bodyguard, they are all killers under the hands of Rodger Group’s Seth Rodgers! The information is clear, and there are photos as proof. Stop lying to yourself!” 

Clayton stood in the room, his tall figure shrouding Dennis, who was sitting on the 

couch. 

Dennis clutched the documents in his hand. He was strong, and the neat paper had 

completely deformed. Clayton had never seen Dennis like this before. He seemed like a 

beast, his eyes scarlet and his teeth gritted. 

“I saw her go from an unfavored orphan and a hated chubby woman to the person she is today. If she is Rose, then where is the original Marie Spence? How did she replace the original Marie Spence without anyone noticing? Except for you, why didn’t anyone in the Spence family, including Old Mr. Spence, question her identity? And why does she look exactly like a crazy person? Clayton, as long as you solve these problems, I will 

believe that she is Rose.” Dennis seemed to have used all his strength to finish his 

sentence. 

“Den, I don’t have to investigate. That face and these photos are enough proof for the people in King Organization to execute her!” Clayton’s eyes shone sharply, with obvious. 

murderous intent. 

To them, Dennis was an indispensable brother and family member. Any threat to his 

safety should be erased. 

“Don’t you dare!” Dennis stood up abruptly and grabbed Clayton’s collar. His eyes were as cold as ice. “Clayton, if you dare to touch her, don’t blame me for being angry with 

you!” 

“Dennis, if I don’t do anything to her, then I’ll just be waiting for the others to turn 

against me.” Clayton looked at Dennis expressionlessly. “Dennis, wake up! Marie Spence is just a killer!” 

He didn’t understand why Dennis was unwilling to accept the fact that the truth was 

right in front of him. 

“She’s my fiancée!” Dennis stared at Clayton and said word by word, “In the future, she will still be my wife. Would you condemn her to death with this ambiguous 

information?” 

Dennis raised his hand, and the mangled documents he was holding scattered in the air, drifting to the floor like snowflakes. 

Dennis looked into Clayton’s eyes and said, “Clayton, I’ll take care of my own business. 

Don’t touch her. We’re still brothers.” 

“Dennis!” Clayton shouted reluctantly. 

“Okay! I don’t want to hear any more news. I still have the cooperation tomorrow, so you can go back first.” Dennis turned around, looking like he was sending off the guest. 

completely. 

Cullen walked over and said respectfully, “Mr. Philemon, please leave.” 

Clayton sighed helplessly and turned to leave the hotel. He closed the door with a bang, showing Dennis how angry and disappointed he was now. 

“Mr. Whitney…” Cullen walked over and wanted to say something. He couldn’t believe that things would turn out like this. 

“Get out.” With Dennis looking at him with such a cold face, Cullen could only leave. After all, the matter of Marie was the most important thing in Dennis’ heart. No one else could say too much about it. 

New York, at a hospital. 

Marie was still waiting at the entrance of the emergency room when the lights above suddenly went out. She stood up abruptly and felt dizzy. She calmed down and ran to the door of the emergency room. 

As soon as Gavin walked out, she rushed over and asked, “How’s it going? How’s Grandpa?” 

Get Borus 

Gavin sighed and said, “Marie, the last surgery was already very dangerous. I’ve told you that he can’t be hurt anymore.” 

“I know. It’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of Grandpa. How is he now?” Marie was so 

anxious that she couldn’t wait to rush into the emergency room. 

“He’s stable for now, but he’s still not completely out of danger. I’ve done my best, and 

the rest is up to God,” Gavin said in a deep voice. 

There was nothing more he could do as a doctor. To Marie, that basically meant a death 

sentence for Asher. 

Stunned, Marie watched the nurse push Asher into the intensive care unit, with all kinds. of instruments inserted on him. The old man had suddenly become so weak, as if he was 

held by the Grim Reaper. 

Edward supported her and said, “Marie, Old Mr. Spence will be fine. He will be.” 

She nodded her head absentmindedly and looked at the intensive care unit without blinking, looking forward to seeing Asher wake up in the next second. 

But she stayed here all night, and her grandfather showed no signs of waking up. Gavin 

said that as long as Asher woke up, there was still hope. 

Marie had already asked Edward to send the lawyer away. She had conceded defeat, and 

it didn’t matter if she gave up all her shares. As long as Asher woke she would take good care of him and would never give him any more stress. 

Paris, France. 

up, 

Dennis went to negotiate the cooperation with his partner in the evening as agreed. At 

the negotiation table, Cullen had never seen Dennis like this. He was like a full predator, 

controlling every benefit and not giving up at all. 

Cullen didn’t know whether Dennis wanted to successfully negotiate this cooperation and go back early, or ruin it instead and go back late. 

It was ten o’clock in the evening after the negotiation. Cullen drove Dennis back to the hotel. Dennis sat in the back seat and looked out the window without saying a word. 

Cullen didn’t dare to joke like he usually did. Dennis seemed to be taller, colder, and
