Around five or six in the evening, Mia returned home and instructed the housekeeper to prepare
dinner. The whole family gathered around the dining table to enjoy their meal.
Marie exceptionally went out to eat dinner at a restaurant today. Lately, her weight loss efforts have
been quite successful, with her weight stabilizing at around 110 pounds. Combined with her.
exercise routine, she now looks incredibly slim.
Mason’s company has been quite busy lately, so he often doesn’t make it home for dinner. At the dining table, it’s just Mia, Noel, Carly, and Marie. Asher is probably having dinner at the Spence
Estate.
During dinner, Marie casually mentioned, “I went to the suburbs today and I think I saw Ms. Dillon there, you know?”
Mia’s face visibly stiffened, and she said with a somewhat sharp tone, “You must be mistaken. I was
playing cards with a few ladies. How could I possibly be in the suburbs? Where did you see me?”
Marie chuckled and deliberately said, “In the east suburbs.”
She saw Mia’s expression soften, clearly relaxing, and said, “I’ve never been to the east suburbs.”
Marie smiled gently and said, “I must have seen it wrong.”
After taking a couple of bites of his meal, he headed upstairs.
Her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with Mia. She was quite certain that she
had seen Mia in the west suburbs today. However, she deliberately mentioned the east suburbs
instead. As expected, Mia let her guard down, which confirmed that there was indeed something
fishy going on.
What was she doing sneaking off to the hotel all by herself? And she even told her family she was going out to play cards.
These past few days, Mason has been leaving early and returning late, sometimes even sleeping at the office. Could it be that Mia is having an affair?
If that’s the case, Marie wouldn’t have to do anything. All she needs to do is tell Mason and Asher about it, and Mia wouldn’t be able to stay in the Spence family for even a day!
Marie was brooding in her room, thinking about how malicious Mia had been to her. Kicking her out of the Spence mansion was letting her off too easy.
Over at Dennis‘ side, he had been in a meeting at the subsidiary for the entire morning, and then he sat in his office reviewing documents.
Time passed by bit by bit, and there was no sign of Marie, who had asked for an IOU. She had taken.

his 3 million dollars and disappeared without a trace.
The more Dennis thought about it, the angrier he became. And those names she kept mumbling when she was drunk yesterday – Seth, Emory….
Where would an eighteen–year–old girl know so many men?
Dennis pressed the intercom on his desk, and Cullen immediately entered the room, asking, “Mr. Whitney, what can I do for you?”
Dennis frowned and asked, “How’s the progress on the matter I asked you to look into?”
“Finished checking…” Cullen said.
“Bring the materials over,” Dennis said.
Cullen immediately placed the documents on Dennis’s desk. Dennis picked them up and was shocked. Just two pieces of paper?
Is it possible to sum up the life of someone who has lived for 18 years with just two pieces of paper?
Cullen said, “Ms. Spence’s background is quite simple. She is the daughter of Mason’s first wife, but Mason didn’t have much affection for her and had an affair with his current wife, Ms. Mia Dillon. It is said that the first wife went a bit mad after giving birth, often talking nonsense. Later, Ms. Dillon took over, forcing the first wife out of the picture, and she passed away, leaving Ms. Spence unattended. Over the years, she hasn’t had much of a presence in the Spence family. The housekeeper at the Spence mansion also mentioned that Ms. Marie inherited her mother’s
foolishness. It wasn’t until a little over a month ago when she accidentally fell down the stairs and was unconscious for two days. When she woke up, her personality had changed drastically. Mr. Whitney is already aware of the events that followed.”
Dennis flipped through the two pages back and forth several times, still unable to believe it: “That’s it? Just these?”
Cullen nodded reluctantly, “Mr. Whitney, there’s really nothing more to say. For the past 18 years, Ms. Spence’s life has revolved solely around school and the Spence mansion. She’s a loner with no friends, her grades are near the bottom of her class, and she’s quite plain -looking, so nobody wants.
