Chapter 16 There Won’t Be a Second Time
It was the next day.
Marie woke up a bit late today because she was busy for too long yesterday. She got up and rubbed
her hair, suddenly remembering that it was Dennis who had called her in the middle of the night
yesterday.
This man is so mysterious. He called and hung up after just a few words, who knows what he’s
thinking.
After freshening up, Marie went downstairs and sat down at the dining table. Today, Asher also came
over to have breakfast together.
Carly looked on in astonishment as Marie walked down unscathed. She couldn’t believe it. She had
specifically shown Marie’s photo to those people, instructing them to ruin her. How could so many,
people possibly let a young girl get away?
Could it be that Marie has already been humiliated? Is she just pretending that nothing happened, not
wanting others to know? It must be the case! Marie must have been toyed with by those people!
Carly stared at Marie, secretly speculating in her mind.
Mia said, “In a couple of days, it’s Mrs. Herbert’s birthday, and she has invited our whole family. Olive is
busy filming and doesn’t have time to come back, so Carly, why don’t you go with Mom?”
“Alright, Mom!” Carly said excitedly.
Ira Herbert, the only child of the Hebert family, is not only a classmate of Carly and Marie but also
Carly’s newly acquired boyfriend.
According to Marie’s memory, it seems that she also regarded Ira as her Prince Charming.
“Is Ms. Dillon only taking Carly with her?” Marie asked.
Mia was taken aback, unsure of how to respond. This damn little troublemaker, asking such a
question in front of Asher. If she said she would only take Carly, then Asher would think she was being
harsh on Marie.
“How could that be? Marie is supposed to come with us too,” Mia said through gritted teeth.
“Marie is becoming more and more beautiful, and her personality is getting better and better. As she
goes out more in the future, she will soon be accepted by these high society people,” Asher said.
“Alright, Grandpa, I understand. I’ll have to trouble Ms. Dillon to take me out more often to see the
world,” Marie said with a smile.
Mia and Carly’s faces turned red with anger. In the past, the entire Spence family had been under their
control, mother and daughter ruling the roost. When had there ever been a place for Marie?
Now that Asher sees her in a different light, even their mother and daughter have to suffer the
consequences!
After having breakfast, Marie took Asher back to the Spence Estate. They spent a long time chatting
together before she finally returned to the mansion.
The Spence Estate was a short distance away from the mansion, separated by a charming little
garden. The cobblestone path was quite elegant, and Marie lingered there for a while.
Once upon a time, when Rose was younger, she never had such an opportunity.
“Marie, do you still feel like strolling through the garden?” Carly asked, appearing out of nowhere.
Marie didn’t even bother to lift her eyes, “Why aren’t you in the mood?”
Carly mocked, “Marie, do you really think that by acting like nothing’s wrong, no one will know about
your dirty little secrets? Last night, those people must have made you feel pretty good, huh?
Oh dear, I wonder if you might unexpectedly become pregnant? If that happens, you wouldn’t even
know who the father of the child is, right?
If your father and grandfather find out, you can forget about staying in the Spence family!”
Carly chattered on and on, fantasizing about getting Marie pregnant so that the whole of Las Vegas
would know that the third daughter of the Spence family was a promiscuous woman!
At this moment, Marie finally straightened up and looked at Carly.
Carly, standing at five feet four inches, really didn’t have much of a presence in front of Marie, who was
five feet seven inches tall.
Marie stood up straight, allowing him to look down at her.
Looking down, Carly could clearly see the undisguised contempt in Marie’s eyes.
“You, a filthy person, have no right to stare at me like that!” Carly, feeling a bit creeped out by the gaze,
shouted.
“Yeah, I’m an unclean person, but I’m still alive,” Marie said.
“What does it mean?” Carly didn’t understand.
What it means is, if you don’t manage to kill me this time, you’ll never get a second chance… I’ll take Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
away everything you have now…
‘Your father’s love, the halo of the Spence family’s precious daughter, and even your boyfriend from the
Hebert family. I will take it all away!” Marie said, word by word.
Although it was just a sentence, the bloodthirsty murderous intent and the determination to win in
Marie’s eyes frightened Carly. She couldn’t afford to lose any of those things!
“You dare! You’re talking nonsense! You can’t take it away!” Carly roared.
“Really? Well, let’s wait and see, my dear sister. You better keep these safe!” Marie said with a
laugh.
After finishing speaking, Marie patted Carly on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t snatch it
away all at once.”
Carly suddenly realized that she was trembling all over!
Marie’s gaze was terrifying. She was no longer the timid and vulnerable girl from before; she was like a
devil that had walked straight out of hell!
