Chapter 7 I Am Good Looking 

“Yeah, the least popular Ms. Marie, that’s why I’m locked in the room. What about you? Why are 

here alone?” Marie said while rummaging through the bushes.

“Birthday party is boring, let’s go out and get some fresh air,” Dennis said. 

“Actually, I also find it boring, but if I don’t go, Grandpa will never let me participate in any other activities in the future,” Marie said helplessly. 

“Why aren’t you allowed to join?” Dennis felt a bit nosy, as he hadn’t been so talkative before. It’s just that today, he found this girl to be much more interesting than those people at the previous banquet. 

“You see, I have a bad figure, too fat, and not well-received. I would embarrass the Spence family,” Marie said. 

“Fat? I think it’s just right.” Dennis recalled the feeling of the girl in his arms, soft and cuddly, like a little animal. 

“I’m telling you, ther 

all look down on me. But once I lose weight, I’m actually really 

good-looking!” Marie said with conviction. 

“Oh? That confident?” Dennis said with a smile. 

“Of course, this face…” Marie originally wanted to say that this face was identical to Rose’s, and Rose was an Ace Killer who could approach her target with her beautiful looks. 

But on second thought, no one would believe that the soul of a deceased assassin resides within the body of this high school student. 

And she, too, didn’t want to return to the life of an assassin, where mornings were never guaranteed. Being Marie was just fine. 

Dennis noticed the girl suddenly went silent and asked, “What are you looking for?” 

“Oh, where are my high heels? I just threw them here a moment ago,” Marie muttered as she rummaged through the bushes. 

“Mr. Whitney, if you’re not busy, could you help me by shining your phone light? It’s so dark in here, how am I supposed to find anything?” Marie said. 

Dennis reluctantly unlocked his phone, for the first time in his life, he found himself being bossed around by a girl like this. 

The girl bent down, searching through the bushes. A strand of hair fell beside her ear, accentuating her delicate and charming facial features. 

“Found them!” Marie exclaimed as she pulled two high heels from the bushes and tossed them in 

front of her. She reached out her hand towards Dennis and said, “Mr. Whitney, give me a hand, 

please.” 

Dennis reached out and grasped the girl’s soft arm. He used to be quite reserved around strangers, but today he had been chatting with this girl for so long, even touching her skin. 

Marie didn’t think too much about it. With Dennis’s help, she put on her high heels, tidied up her hair, and said, “Thank you so much. I’ll treat you to a meal some other day.” 

“When?” Dennis asked. 

“What?” Marie didn’t catch on. 

“Didn’t you invite me to dinner? When is it?” Dennis asked. 

Marie was speechless. Weren’t these words just meant to be a polite gesture? How could they take it so seriously? 

But since she’ve already said it, she can’t go back on her word. 

“How about next Saturday, is that okay?” Marie asked. 

“Sure, I’ll come pick you up,” Dennis said. 

“No need, no need. Let’s just meet at Time Square in the city center,” Marie said. 

She definitely didn’t want Carly to see a strange man coming to her house looking for her, or else who knows what unpleasant rumors would spread. 

Dennis nodded, indicating his agreement. 

“Then I’ll be going first!” Marie waved her hand, picked up her skirt, and ran towards the banquet hall. Her steps didn’t look like she was wearing high heels at all. 

In the banquet hall. 

Olive asked, “Grandpa, where’s Marie?” 

Asher’s face darkened, and he remained silent. Carly immediately spoke up, “Olive, Marie had originally promised Grandpa that she would attend the birthday party, but she hasn’t shown up yet. As you know, Marie has a very introverted personality, and she has a history of not keeping her
