Chapter 9 I Will Reclaim Everything 

Get Bo 

Marie was momentarily taken aback, not quite understanding what was going on with this sudden. 

toast. 

Olive couldn’t take her eyes off him. Such a man, noble and elegant, even the simple act of raising a glass was utterly captivating. It’s just a pity that the one sitting next to him was that silly girl, 

Marie! 

Asher laughed and said, “Silly girl! What are you staring at? Dennis is saying hello to you!” 

Marie hurriedly picked up the glass of juice from the table and said, “I’m not feeling very well, Mr. 

Whitney. You don’t mind if I drink juice, do you?” 

She wasn’t feeling unwell; she just wanted to lose weight. She refused to drink alcohol and preferred not to drink juice either. Drinking plain water was the best option for her. 

Olive chuckled as she watched her, wondering how she could try to fool someone like Dennis with 

just juice! 

I heard that Dennis has always been aloof, and he only greeted Marie out of respect for Asher! 

At this point, even Asher was feeling a bit nervous. The youngest son of the Whitney family, who took control of the Whitney Group at such a young age, was known for his unpredictable temperament. If he were to get angry over Marie’s glass of juice, it was hard to know what to do. 

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, each with their own thoughts, Dennis picked up his wine glass and gently clinked it against Marie’s. The crisp sound of glassware filled the air, followed by Dennis’s pleasant voice, “Of course, Ms. Marie, your health is important.” 

Marie smiled sweetly and took a sip of her fruit juice. 

She couldn’t quite figure out who this Dennis was. Asher seemed to value him greatly, and the surrounding guests always appeared to be observing him nonchalantly. 

Asher looked thoughtfully at Dennis and Marie, but didn’t say much. 

The banquet came to an end quickly, and the housekeepers cleared away the tableware. The guests 

were then invited to move to the side hall for the dance. 

As the music began, everyone eagerly glided onto the dance floor. Olive adjusted her makeup and confidently approached Dennis. With a graceful gesture, she extended her hand and said, “Mr. Whitney, may I have this dance?” 

People turned their gaze toward this direction, as Olive was the hottest A-list celebrity in the entertainment industry. She was the dream lover that countless men longed for, and this was the 

first time she had ever taken the initiative to invite a man to dance! 

Olive extended her delicate hand, waiting for Dennis to lead her onto the dance floor. She was 

determined to capture this man’s attention. Dennis Whitney, he was hers for the taking! 

Dennis stood up and said, “Cullen, go say goodbye to Old Mr. Spence.” 

Dennis rejected Olive!

Marie stood to the side, amused. She could already imagine how those gossip journalists would 

write about this. 

Olive stood still, exerting great effort to maintain her composure. She gently brushed her long hair and offered a polite smile, making way for Dennis to pass. 

Dennis walked to the door and saw Marie standing to the side, seemingly delighted by Olive’s deflated appearance. He approached Marie and whispered softly, “Don’t forget about dinner on Saturday.” 

Marie nodded and asked, “Is there anything you’d like to eat?” 

Dennis nodded in agreement and said, “Either way is fine, you decide.” 

And then, they left the Spence mansion. 

-Olive watched the interaction between the two, clenching her fists tightly, her nails almost digging 

into her palms. 

This is the first time! She was rejected in front of everyone! 

However, as soon as Dennis turned around, he was deeply engaged in conversation with Marie. How could Marie, that Fatty, even compare to her? 

Such a great humiliation, she would never let it go just like that!
