Chapter 10 How Ridiculous I Must Seem
After the dinner party, Asher sent all the guests away and called Marie over. He told her that from now
on, he would give her an additional 7,500 dors per month for her spending money.
Marie was a bit taken aback, as she hadn’t done anything particrly outstanding. For this birthday
party, the best oue she had hoped for was to catch Asher’s attention. The only unexpected. factor
was the appearance of Dennis, someone she had never known before.
In both Marie’s memories and Rose’s past life memories, neither of them had ever heard of Dennis.
In the evening, Marie searched for Dennis online and found only one result – Whitney Group CEO.
Upon further research on the Whitney Group, apart from various misceneous information, there is
only one significant result an influential noble family in New York.
So, the man who caught her behind the vi is a wealthy young master?
This was the reason for Asher’s transformation, as everyone thought she and Dennis were involved,
but they had only just met today.
This is how love works in wealthy families; they can use and discard people like pawns at any time.
Marie didn’t let this matter bother her; her heart was set on revenge. She wanted to get closer to the
Terry family and Rodger Group, step by step!
That night, Marie dreamt once again of the tragic deaths in Brussels. She saw Wren ruthlessly shooting
Mike, and together with Seth, they killed all of her confidants.
In her previous life, she risked everything for Seth and his Rodger Group. She helped him steal trade
secrets, assassinatepetitors, and even took his ce in navigating the gray areas. Yet, all she got
in return was a tragic death in Brussels!
In this lifetime, she would never trust anyone again!
These past few days, Asher often asked about Marie and even invited her to dine with him at the
Spence Estate. The housekeepers in the vi were very observant and realized that Marie was
different from before. As a result, they often tried to please her, making Marie’s life much better.
This week, she became even more determined to control her diet and intensify her training. She
sessfully kept her weight under 121 pounds, and at a height of five feet seven inches, she looked
incredibly slim and attractive.
Holding the extra pocket money Asher gave her, Marie was ready to find a kickboxing ss outside.
She knew all thebat skills and techniques, as well as how to train, but Marie’s body was too weak.
She needed a sparring partner to practice with.
On Saturday, since Marie had made ns to have dinner with Dennis, she left the house early.
As soon as she arrived at Time Square, she saw Dennis getting out of the car and walking towards her,
still dressed in a suit, exuding an air of sophistication.
Marie was wearing a hooded sweatshirt in Las Vegas, where the temperature wasn’t too low. As a
result, she showed off her long legs, wore white sneakers, had her hair up in a bun, and went makeup-
free, exuding youthful energy.
Dennis walked over, and Marie peeked at his car, asking, “Are you alone?”
Dennis asked, “Who else do you think it could be?”
“That person who’s always been following you, I thought he woulde along too,” Marie said.
“Cullen, my assistant, he has some work to do, so I asked him to go back to thepany.”
“Oh, alright, then shall we have seafood spaghetti?” Marie asked.
Dennis nodded, and Marie led him to a seafood spaghetti restaurant. Perhaps it was because it was
noon, the restaurant wasn’t very crowded. They found a seat by the window and sat down.
Marie ordered the dishes, and it seemed that Dennis had no particr dietary restrictions. He
would eat whatever Marie ordered. So, she chose a spicy dish and ordered a variety of meats and
vegetables.
The wait for the dishes to be served was a bit awkward. Marie didn’t know what to talk about and felt
somewhat embarrassed.
Dennis asked, “Do you always treat people to seafood spaghetti the first time you invite them for a
meal?”
In his mind, these youngdies from wealthy families paid great attention to their appearance and
would likely choose something like steak when dining with a man. Seafood spaghetti was definitely not
within their range of choices. So, when Marie invited him to have seafood spaghetti, he was quite
surprised.
“No, I haven’t treated anyone to a meal,” Marie said.
As Marie, she was timid and speechless, with no friends. As Rose, her life was uncertain, and she had
never been to a restaurant to enjoy a meal with friends.
“Ms. Spence’s previous life seems to have been less than ideal,” Dennis said.
Marie smiled and said, “I used to be a bit insecure and didn’t like talking much.”

Dennis looked at her, this girl with clear eyes, but not a trace of inferiority in her demeanor.
Fortunately, the food arrived quickly, allowing us to skip over the awkward topic. Marie had been
working so hard on her diet, and she was absolutely delighted to finally enjoy some seafood spaghetti.
“Do you really like seafood spaghetti?” Dennis asked.
“Yeah! No matter what it is, just throw it in the pot and cook it, and you won’t starve even in the wild
mountains.” Marie said happily while eating.
“It sounds like you’ve been to deste mountains and wild ridges,” Dennis said.
As soon as the words were spoken, he clearly saw Marie’s hand, holding the fork, pause for a
moment.
This girl is quite interesting.
Marie smiled and didn’t say anything.
She had truly ventured into deste mountains and remote valleys, trapped in the mountains for
half a month before escaping the encirclement. She had experienced the harshest environments in the
world, yet she couldn’t escape the deceit of a man and the cruelty of a woman.
It’s somewhat amusing to think about it.
