The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 I Have No Manners for Dogs 

Marie recalled the jumbled dreams she had last night. In one moment, she dreamt of drinking with Emory and their friends; in another, Seth came to pick her up. And suddenly, she dreamt of Wren shooting Mike dead. 

Her Mike, her Jett, both were dead. Every time Marie thought about it, her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe.. 

The taxi arrived at the Spence Mansion, and Marie and Jolie got out. Marie told Jolie to go back and 

while she went to her room first. 

rest, 

Upon entering the mansion, Mason was not at home, and neither was Mia. It was unclear where they had gone. Carly was sitting on the living room couch, flipping through a fashion magazine. Noel was also there, sitting on the other side of the couch, typing away on his computer. 

Seeing Marie return, Carly asked sarcastically, “Oh, you actually came back? Where were you messing around last night?” 

Marie didn’t have time to deal with her. All she wanted now was to take a bath and change into clean. 

clothes, as the ones she was wearing were starting to stink. 

She ignored Carly and turned to go upstairs. Carly, unhappy, shouted, “Stop! I’m talking to you! Do you have any manners?” 

Marie turned to her and smiled, saying, “My manners are reserved for people. What kind of manners do I need for a mad dog that bites indiscriminately?” 

Carly, furious, picked up a magazine and threw it at Marie, shouting, “Who are you calling a mad dog?” 

“Whoever takes over the conversation, that’s who it is,” Marie said. 

Carly became anxious. As she stood up and was about to rush over, Noel frowned and said, “Sit 

down!” 

Carly stomped her foot and whined, “Noel, look at her! How could she talk to me like that!” 

Noel looked up at Marie, who was wearing a knee–length dress with her long hair cascading down her waist, messy yet still exuding beauty. Her delicate face showed a hint of fatigue, and the corner of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. 

He had never noticed before. Marie was so beautiful that even when she mocked others, it was still 

captivating, 

Noel snapped back to reality and said, “You look like a well–bred young lady. Please, have a seat!” 

Carly huffed and sat down on the couch.

Marie turned her head and went upstairs, thinking about the glance Noel had just given her. This was the second time. Instead of helping his own sister Carly, Noel had actually helped Marie out of a 

difficult situation. 

It’s hard to know what exactly is going on in Noel’s mind. 

Marie returned to her room and took an hour–long bath, finally feeling refreshed and relaxed. She picked out a long–sleeved dress and put on a trench coat over it. Although Las Vegas had high temperatures, it still got a bit chilly in the winter. 

She put on a light touch of makeup on her face. Picking up her bag, she went downstairs, determined to settle the house matters today. She wanted Emory and the others to move in as soon 

as possible. 

As soon as she walked downstairs, Carly stopped her. Noel was nowhere to be found, leaving Carly 

unattended. 

“Hey, where were you last night?” Carly asked. 

“None of your business,” Marie said bluntly. 

“Miss High Society, just barely an adult and already staying out all night! I’ll tell Dad, and let’s see how he deals with you!” Carly said smugly. 

“Oh, you want to know where I went? I’ll tell you, I went on a date with your Ira,” Marie said with a 

light laugh.
