    Chapter 7 I Am Good Looking


    “Yeah, the least popr 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.


    you


    “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, entuating her


    delicate and charming facial features.


    “Found them!” Marie eximed 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’lle 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 maning 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


    word.”


    Upon hearing Carly’s words, Asher became even more upset. How could someone so young be so


    fickle? He had even specially arranged a seat for her today. What a mess!

    Carly, just eat your food, why so much talking!”


    Noel didn’t quite like the strange and eerie atmosphere at home, so he rarely came back.

    “Noel, I’m telling the truth! Marie, she was originally…” Carly said, feeling somewhat wronged.


    “What was I like originally? Carly, please continue.” A crisp voice came, and everyone turned around to


    see Marie in a ck evening gown appearing at the entrance of the hall.


    Her delicate face was round and smooth, with skin as wless as congealed cream. A light touch of


    makeup graced her features, and her waist-length hair cascaded down her back, giving her an elegant


    and poised appearance.


    Her eyes were so bright, like a lost elf in the woods, that one couldn’t help but be entranced by


    their clear and captivating gaze.


    “Who is this? Is she also a youngdy from the Spence family?”


    “I don’t know, I’ve never seen this before… Marie, you…” Carly eximed in surprise as she stood. up.


    It couldn’t be; she had clearly put sleeping pills in the water she gave to Marie, intending for her, to


    sleep through the night.


    Even if she woke up, Carly had locked her bedroom door. How could she possibly show up at the


    birthday party?


    “What’s going on? Carly seems so surprised to see me… so surprised that she didn’t call me Marie, but


    used my full name instead!” Marie said with a beaming smile.
