    Chapter 11 The People of Rodger Group


    As the two of them were enjoying their meal, Dennis’s phone rang. Apologizing, he picked up the call.


    Marie could faintly hear something about Terry Group being mentioned on the other end of the


    line.


    She immediately focused and listened carefully. Dennis didn’t seem to mind her hearing what was


    being said, and he spoke into the phone, “Have our people pull back. I’m heading back now.”


    Dennis hung up the phone, and Marie asked tentatively, “Are you working with Terry Group?”


    Dennis nced at her and nodded. Marie then asked, “Is it the Terry Group from France?”


    Dennisughed, “Little girl, you even know about France’s Terry Group?”


    “I’m an adult now, and I’m going to university soon. I’m not a kid anymore,” Marie retorted.


    “Focus on these things once you’re in university. I have some work to do, so I need to head back to


    the office. I’ll treat you to seafood spaghetti some other day.” Dennis stood up, ready to leave.


    Marie became anxious. This was the first time she hade close to any news about Terry Group


    since her rebirth. She needed to find a way to learn more, so she blurted out, “Can I visit your


    Only then did Dennis focus his attention on her and said, “Let’s go.”


    Marie immediately followed, and when Cullen drove over to pick up Dennis, he saw Marie climbing into


    the back seat with him. He felt a bit bewildered, wondering if Mr. Whitney had taken a liking to


    someone underage.


    Cullen looked on in surprise for quite a while, until Dennis gave him a cold nce. Immediately, Cullen


    stepped on the gas.


    It wasn’t until they were in the hotel elevator that Marie felt bewildered. Weren’t they supposed to be


    discussing work? How did they end up driving to a hotel?


    Dennis nced at her and said, “I never said I was going to the office.” Then he walked into the


    room.


    Marie stood at the entrance, her hair tousled by the wind. She now understood the look in Dennis’


    eyes when she had suggested visiting this ce. At this moment, she was unsure whether to step


    inside or turn back.


    Cullen exined, “Las Vegas is just a branch office, so Mr. Whitney doesn’t have to go there every day.


    The Whitney Group’s matters are all handled at the hotel. If Ms. Spence doesn’t want to stay here, I


    can take you back.”


    Just a step away from Terry Group’s message, Marie gritted her teeth and entered the hotel..


    Get Bortas


    This is Dennis’ exclusive hotel suite, featuring a two-bedroom and one-living roomyout. Dennis sits


    on the couch in the living room, opening hisptop. He nces at Marie and says, “Feel free to


    look around.”


    Marie casually strolled around the room, noticing that Dennis seemed to treat this ce as a


    temporary stopover. There were no personal belongings of his, only the hotel’s decorations.


    As she pretended to look around, she listened intently to Cullen’s report: “Mr. Whitney, our people were


    discovered as soon as they crossed the border into France. The other party doesn’t seem to be from


    the Terry Group, but rather a mercenary force. We couldn’t find where the goods were hidden. Please


    punish me, Mr. Whitney!”


    Dennis asked, “What’s the situation with casualties?”


    “Two dead, three injured,” Cullen said.


    Dennis lit a cigarette, angrily throwing the file on the ground. The loud noise startled Marie, making her


    shudder.

    A couple of photos slid out and glided along the smooth floor, stopping at Marie’s feet. She bent down


    to pick them up and clearly saw the images on them.


    It seems that the photo was taken by Dennis during his investigation. It shows a dock with shipping


    containers piled up everywhere, and several dock workers can be seen in the frame,


    There wasn’t any substantial information, so Cullen said he couldn’t find out where that batch of


    goods was located.


    However, Marie knew that no matter what goods Dennis and his team were looking for, they were right


    here at this dock.


    Among those inconspicuous workers, Marie spotted a familiar face. The man wearing a worn-out work


    uniform, only showing a side profile, was Emory one of the people she had helped promote.


    ording to Emory’s level, he shouldn’t be in a ce like this.


    Marie walked over to Dennis and ced the photo on the table, asking, “What are you guys looking


    for?”


    Dennis nced at her and said, “Little girl, don’t ask so many questions.”


    “Dennis, I’m not a kid anymore, just talk to me,” Marie said.


    “Mr. Whitney…” Cullen tried to stop him, knowing that such secrets shouldn’t be shared with outsiders.


    “It’s nothing, just that a shipment I ordered earlier was hijacked in the Caribbean. I’ll find it,”


    Dennis said.


    Caribbean! Rose knew their previous activities all too well!


    It’s someone from Rodger Group!


    The Terry Group used people from Rodger Group to rob Dennis’s belongings in the Caribbean!


    “What would happen if we find the person intercepting the goods?” Marie asked.


    “Ms. Marie, stealing from Mr. Whitneyes with a price,” Cullen said.


    Although she already had the answer in her heart, hearing Cullen say it out loud, Marie couldn’t


    help but clench her fists. As soon as Dennis found that batch of goods, he would immediately take care


    of the people who intercepted them!


    Among those people, there was Emory!
