    Chapter 4 Can I Join the Birthday Party


    “Grandpa, can I join your birthday party?” Marie asked.


    Asher frowned, seemingly reluctant to see such a plump woman at a high-ss banquet. However,


    he didn’t want to hurt her self-esteem, so he was somewhat torn.


    “Marie, don’t put Grandpa in a difficult position. Do you expect Grandpa to say you’re from the


    Spence family when people ask which family that fat woman is from? Do you want others tough at


    the Spence family during Grandpa’s birthday party?” Carly said mockingly.


    “Yeah, Marie. You used to stay in your room during the Spence family gatherings. Perhaps you should


    sit out on this one, too,” Mia suggested.


    “Grandpa, if I can sessfully lose weight in half a month, can I attend your birthday party?” Marie


    asked again.


    When Asher looked into Marie’s sincere eyes, he finallypromised. “Fine. Come see me in half a


    month.”


    Marie knew that Asher had agreed.


    For her, the most important person to win over the entire Spence family was Asher.


    Forty-five percent of Spence Group’s shares were in Asher’s hands, while Mason’s was five percent


    and Noel’s ten percent. Meanwhile, the three granddaughters had a limited share. Therefore, the actual


    decision-maker in the Spence family was Asher.


    If Marie wanted to secure her position in the Spence family and get closer to the upper ss and Wren,


    winning over Asher was the first step.


    Carly red at her resentfully, but Marie ignored the anger in her eyes. Standing up, Marie announced,


    “From now on, I won’t be eating dinner. Don’t call me for dinner.”


    When Marie changed into her running shoes and went out for a jog, Carly snorted behind her. “No


    matter what, she’s still an idiot.”

    For one week, she set a higher goal for herself every day. Now, she can already run 6,561 feet. She


    must regain her original strength and gain authority for her to have enough resources to face Wren.


    Every time Marie thought of Mike’s lifeless eyes as he silently fell to the ground, her heart was filled


    with hatred. She had knelt and begged, but she couldn’t change the oue of it. There was Seth, too,


    who had made a promise but watched on as she died tragically. Thus, Marie was determined to seek


    revenge!


    Marie gathered her strength and started running again.


    On the roadside, a man looked at the documents in his hand inside a ck Audi and asked


    Get Borus


    impatiently, “How much longer do we need?”


    His assistant, Cullen, wiped his sweat nervously and answered, “I apologize, Mr. Whitney. The car


    suddenly broke down. I’ve called our Las Vegas branch to send a new car.”


    Dennis pinched the bridge of his nose and turned to look out the window. The chubby girl passed by


    his car once again. This time, she stopped and stared at the car window for quite a while.


    Marie couldn’t see if there was anyone inside the car. Since it had been parked by the side of the


    road for half an hour, she instinctively assumed that there was no one inside.


    Dennis sat there, watching the woman as she stared at him intently for ten seconds.


    Upon closer inspection, the woman’s features were quite delicate and exquisite. It was just that the


    fat on her face had concealed her beauty.


    Just as Cullen was about to get out of the car to chase her away, Marie suddenly yelled out the


    window, “You’re so fat!”


    Dennis shuddered in fright but then found the incident somewhat amusing. He thought the woman


    was looking at him inside the car, but it turned out she was just using the car window as a mirror to


    check her reflection.


    Marie clenched her fists and yelled, “Marie! Please, lose weight quickly! There’s no time left!”


    Marie had to constantly remind herself of the hatred from her past life in order to push herself to return


    to how Rose was like before. Otherwise, once Wren married Seth and with so many killers in Rodger


    Group, it would be impossible for her to fight her way in alone.


    Recalling the friends who had once faced life and death together, Marie remembered that Wren had


    personally vowed topletely eradicate her influence on the confidants in Rodger Group.


    She grew up alongside Seth and had witnessed him strengthening Rodger Group step by step. She


    became his right-hand woman and cultivated a team of her own confidants, which she considered.


    family.


    Marie needed to quickly find her footing in order to protect others.


    Wren was right about one thing; she was just a knife in Seth’s hand, and so, they, the assassins, could


    be discarded like a pawn at any moment.


    And as for Wren, she had the entire Terry family backing her. Thus, there was no way Seth would


    ever abandon her.


    Dennis looked at the woman outside the car window. She seemed to have made up her mind about


    losing weight, and her eyes were filled with deep hatred. At that, Dennisughed. “What kind of hatred


    could she be feeling as a high school student?”


    Marie didn’t notice the man sitting in the car and continued to pick up speed as she ran.
