Marie received the transfer and called the salesperson in, requesting to see the house first before making the payment. 

The salesperson immediately went to start the car with a spring in their step, taking Marie to the 

West Suburbs Mansion. 

On the road, Marie looked out the window, contemplating her plans after buying the mansion. She would first settle Emory and the others down. Once the situation calmed down, she would let Emory and the rest decide whether they wanted to live with her in Las Vegas or find their own path. 

After all, when they meet, she will be there as Marie, not Rose. 

Only when Emory and the others are safe can she be at ease to do her own things. 

While waiting for the traffic light, Marie looked around. Since her rebirth, she had always been 

active in the city center and hadn’t been to the suburbs yet. It seemed quite nice here. 

As Marie casually glanced at a hotel, she saw Mia wrapped in a coat, wearing sunglasses, and 

looking around cautiously as she walked in, as if afraid that someone might recognize her. 

What is Mia doing at the hotel by herself? 

Before Marie could take a closer look, the traffic light turned green and the car drove away. 

She made a mental note of this matter. After dealing with Emory’s affairs, she planned to 

thoroughly investigate Mia, as she always felt that woman was quite strange. 

Upon arriving at the mansion in the west suburbs, Marie followed the salesperson inside to view 

the house. 

This is a three–story mansion with six bedrooms. The first floor consists of a living room, kitchen, and dining room, along with a small courtyard. The interior decoration is excellent, and after a quick cleaning, it’s ready to move in. 

Perhaps due to its remote location, the price isn’t frighteningly high. 

Marie was quite satisfied with the place and immediately agreed to buy it. 

The two of them returned to the real estate office and signed the contract. Marie paid the full 

amount of 6.75 million dollars at once, which made the salesperson extremely happy, grinning from ear to ear. They immediately promised to have the mansion cleaned from top to bottom so that Marie could move in the very next day. 

After leaving the real estate office, Marie texted Emory [Found a place to stay, you can come over 

anytime.] 

Emory replied, [In three days, at Las Vegas Airport.]

At last, Marie felt relieved. Soon, Emory and the others would break away from Rodger Group, and Wren would no longer be able to do anything to them. 

However, upon checking the balance of my bank account, I found that I only had 750 thousand dollars left, making me feel suddenly impoverished. 

Suddenly, she recalled the collaboration between Dennis and Terry Group. Dennis had said that it wasn’t absolutely necessary to work with Terry Group. So, she thought, causing a little disruption in their partnership shouldn’t be a big deal. 

Marie sent a message to Emory, asking [Before leaving, do you want to give a big gift to the Terry Group, yes or no?] 

Emory replied [Let’s hear it.] 

[Terry Group is preparing to collaborate with Whitney Group, and they will be holding a transoceanic video conference at 8 pm America time, which is 7 pm Beijing time. If the news of their collaboration is leaked before then, Terry Group will not only lose credibility but also the cooperation with Whitney Group] Marie shared her thoughts with Emory. 

“Understood, Kate will receive the collaboration materials tonight,” Emory replied. 

Kate, one of Rose’s confidants, is a blonde–haired, blue–eyed French girl who excels in various covert operations. She is also Emory’s girlfriend. 

Kate took action, and Marie believed that Terry Group would soon be hit once again. 

She took a taxi to the kickboxing coach’s gym, where the coach, surnamed Martin, was a highly experienced athlete, proficient in many combat sports. 

Marie changed out of her long skirt, put on her training outfit, and entered the training area. 

Levi joked, “It’s rare for young ladies to practice this, and even if they do, they usually don’t stick with it for long.” 

Marie smiled and said, “Let’s begin.” 

Levi asked, “Since today is the first day of training, shall I teach you some basic moves first?” 

Marie shook her head, “I know the moves and routines. I asked you here to help me build my strength.” 

Levi couldn’t believe it, and asked, “You know all of this?”
