The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 

At the same time, Dereon made his debut as the third runner-up of the talent show. In order to support him, Olive Spence took him to various shows and programs to increase his exposure. 

On the other hand, Marie was either studying at school or working at Glorious Estate, or staying in her studio to prepare for Zane’s work. 

Avery Ruth of Global Medias was the most promising singer in recent years, and with his handsome appearance and magnetic singing voice, he gained a large number of fans. 

Recently, Global Medias was actively preparing for his concert. Marie Spence had asked Avery to meet him through Andres Robert. After hearing Zane’s voice, Avery promised to bring him to on the 

stage. 

Therefore, Zane would be preparing for the concert with Avery for the time being, so there was no 

need for Marie to worry. 

Zane was the only person who was signed to the newly established studio, so when Marie was free, she began to think about exploring other artists. 

That day, Marie was watching TV at home. When the doorbell rang, she ran over and opened the door. She was stunned to see an old man standing outside the door. 

The man was wearing a custom-made suit. His beard was a little white, and his youthful 

handsomeness could be vaguely seen. 

Stunned for a moment, Marie asked, “Old Mr. Whitney?” 

From similar eyebrows and eyes that looked the same, Marie knew that this was Dennis’s father. 

The man was also stunned and said, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” 

Marie stepped aside and invited Old Mr. Whitney into the house to sit down. She poured him some 

water and said, “There is no tea at home. Please have some water.” 

Old Mr. Whitney looked at the glass of water on the coffee table and smiled sarcastically. “Little girl, do you really think this is your home?” 

Stunned, Marie was used to talking to Dennis about what was going on at home these days. 

She nodded, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.” 

Old Mr. Whitney said, “Little girl, you’re still young, but Dennis is not young anymore. There are a lot of celebrities in New York waiting to meet him. I’m also old, and I’m still waiting for him to get 

married and have children!” 

Marie lowered her head and said nothing. 

Get Bo 

She didn’t know what to say. She was nobody. Dennis was good to her, but she wasn’t his girlfriend. She just lived here. 

The marriage and children that Old Mr. Whitney mentioned were too far away from her. She never thought that she could get married and have children one day. It seemed that she was born to die 

alone. 

Marie hung her head and said nothing. 

Old Mr. Whitney also sighed and said, “Little girl, your grandpa and I are old friends, so there are some things that I won’t say anymore. You are a smart, and you know what to do.” 

With that, Whitney stood up and left. 

After sitting on the couch for ten minutes, Marie took out her phone and called her grandpa. 

“Silly girl, do you still remember to call your grandpa?” old man teased her. 

“Grandpa, I called you every week!” Marie was helpless. 

“What’s the matter?” The old man asked. 

“Grandpa, when are you moving to New York?” asked Marie Spence. 

The old man said, “In a few days, the villa I bought is still being cleaned up, and I will move over 

soon.” 

“Grandpa, I’ll move over first. When you move here, we’ll still live together!” Marie immediately 

said. 

The old man paused and asked, “Girl, did you have a fight with Dennis?” 

“No,” Marie said. 

“Then why do you suddenly want to move back?” old man asked. 

“Grandpa! Am I your granddaughter? Aren’t you happy that I’m moving back home?” Marie asked 

coquettishly. 

“Okay, okay. You can come back and stay with me if you want. I won’t say no to you” old man said dotingly. 

After that, Marie hung up the phone, went back to her room to pack her things, and took a taxi to Cloudy Villa. 

Old man’s villa was next to Mason Spence’s family. Instead of going to Mason’s, she went directly to old man’s villa. A few servants were cleaning the house. When they saw her coming in, they immediately greeted, “Hello, Ms. Spence.” 

Marie asked, “Is my room ready?” 

Get Bott 

A servant led her upstairs and said, “The room is almost ready. Which bedroom do you want to live 

in, Ms. Spence?” 

Marie opened one of the rooms. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the sunset shone in. 

Marie smiled and said, “This one.” 

The servant went over to pick up her suitcase, and Marie refused, “Go ahead. I’ll settle myself in.” 

She was depressed. Old Mr. Whitney was right. Dennis always wanted to get married and have children, but she had never thought about that. 

She turned off her phone and lay on the bed, not wanting to talk to anyone. 

It was getting dark when Dennis returned to Glorious Estate. He knocked on the door, it was Melissa 

who opened it. 

Melissa greeted with a smile, “Hello, sir.” 

Dennis nodded. He didn’t hear the familiar girl’s laughter in the living room. He strode into the 

room, and the living room was empty. 

Dennis opened the door of Marie room. The room was also empty, and the quilt was neatly folded. 

Dennis asked, “Where’s Marie?” 

Melissa was confused and said, “Ms. Spence wasn’t here when I came to cook in the afternoon.” 

Dennis called her, but her phone was off. He called Cullen and asked, “Go check it out! Marie is 

missing!” 

Cullen was so scared that he immediately ran to check the surveillance of Glorious Estate and was 

dumbfounded. 

He stood in the living room and reported cautiously to Dennis, “Old Mr. Whitney was here today, and then Ms. Spence left with her suitcase…” 

Dennis’s face turned dark as he stood up and walked towards the door. Cullen immediately followed, “Mr. Whitney, it’s still not appropriate to fight against Old Mr. Whitney at this time!” 

Dennis ignored him, got into the car, and left. 

The Whitney family… 

Old Mr. Whitney was sitting in the living room while Kevin was talking to him. The silence of the night was broken by the sound of speeding car. 

The shrill sound of brakes was heard, and the expensive car stopped in the middle of the lawn of the 

Whitney family. The man strode down and entered the living room. 

Old Mr. Whitney sat on the sofa, raised his eyes to look at Dennis, and asked, “You still know to 

come back?” 

Dennis smiled, “If you hadn’t meddled too much, I wouldn’t have come back!” 

“Dennis Whitney! Watch your attitude. I’m your father!” Old Mr. Whitney said angrily. 

“Father? A father who abandoned his wife and children is not worth of being a father!” Dennis said 

condescendingly. 

“You! Do you not treat this place as your home at all? Have I ever treated you unfairly since you came back?” Old Mr. Whitney coughed out of anger. 

“I haven’t had a home since the day my mother died.” Dennis laughed mockingly.
