Chapter 91
“Such a severe injury, it’s normal to have a fever. Why didn’t anyone stay with him?”
Marie’s tone carried some me as Dennisy on the bed with his eyes tightly closed and his brow
furrowed, not moving at all. She felt very flustered inside.
“Ms. Marie, Mr. Whitney woke up and insisted that we all go look for you, instead of staying with him,”
Cullen exined.
Marie paused while searching the medicine cab and asked, “Where’s Gavin?”
“Dr. Hart and Mr. Philemon live on this floor, so they will be arriving soon,” Cullen said.
As soon as Cullen finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Cullen went to open the door, and Gavin
walked into the room carrying a medical kit, with yton following behind him. As they walked, yton
asked, “What happened? Why did he faint?”
Upon seeing Marie in the room, Gavin hesitated for a moment, “Marie? You’re back? Are you not
hurt?”
Marie shook her head, “I’m not hurt, let’s check on Dennis first.”
Gavin nodded, walked to the bedside, and saw Dennis without a shirt on. The gauze on his shoulder
was neatly arranged. He was taken aback and asked, “Cullen, did you do this?”
Cullen hesitated and shook his head, “No, Ms. Marie did it.”
Gavin turned to look at Marie andughed, “Marie’s skills are pretty good.”
Marie nced at him and said, “Alright, hurry up and check on him.”
Gavin lowered his head to examine the wound, then took a temperature reading and said, “The wound
hasn’t healed properly and has split open, causing some inmmation and a high fever. Let’s start with
intravenous therapy to reduce the inmmation and take some fever-reducing medication.”
Marie asked nervously, “When will he wake up?”
“Let’s see how his recovery goes. With Dennis’ constitution, he should wake up tomorrow,” Gavin said.
He lowered his head to give Dennis an injection, set up the IV drip, and then several people left the
room.
yton turned to look at Marie, “Where did Ms. Spence gost night?”
Marie’s mind was filled with thoughts of Dennis, and she was very agitated. She didn’t know what kind
of trouble Dennis had gotten into or why he had been shot. She knew nothing and could only
watch him injured and unconscious.

And now, as yton questioned her again, she replied irritably, “I didn’t go anywhere, we just got
separated.”
“Did you get lost for a whole day and night? I heard from Cullen that Ms. Spence just came back
tonight,” yton’s gaze was like an X-ray, as if he wanted to see right through her.
Marie turned to stare at yton, “I was only separated for a day and a night, does Mr. Philemon have a
problem with that?”
yton had a cold expression on his face, looking quite stern, and at that moment, his eyes seemed
even colder. “Ms. Spence, please tell the truth, where were you during this entire day and night?”
Marie clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, “I told you, I just got lost!”
Gavin saw the atmosphere getting more and more tense, so he stepped in between the two people.
and grabbed yton, saying, “yton, what are you doing? Marie isn’t a bad person, she just got
lost.”
“Why didn’t she want to exin where she was yesterday? If she had nothing to hide, why did it
take her a whole day and night toe back?” yton’s face turned pale.
Gavin turned to Marie and said, “Marie, just tell us where you werest night. Don’t let yton
misunderstand you.”
Marieughed, “Why should Mr. Philemon question me about these things when Dennis doesn’t
even care? You can misunderstand me all you want, I don’t care!”
Gavin felt helpless and was about to turn his head to persuade yton to stop asking questions,
when yton suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed the dark muzzle directly at
Marie’s forehead!
yton said coldly, “We were attackedst night, and right after that, Ms. Spence disappeared.
Since you can’t exin it, you can’t escape suspicion!”
Gavin, frightened, pulled yton and said, “yton! What are you doing? Why are you arguing with a
little girl?”
Cullen also stood in front of Marie and said, “Mr. Philemon, let’s wait until Mr. Whitney wakes up
to discuss these matters! If you hurt Ms. Marie, Mr. Whitney will definitely hold you ountable when
he wakes up!”
The atmosphere was tense when Marie spoke up, her voice t, “Cullen, move aside.”
Cullen turned to look at Marie and said, “Ms. Marie! Before Mr. Whitney wakes up, I won’t let
anyone hurt you!”

“Cullen! If she is a spy, the first person she would harm would be Dennis!” yton said sternly.
Marieughed and said, “It’s alright, Cullen, move aside.”
Cullen hesitated for a moment, walked over to Marie, and still looked at yton with some caution,
fearing that he might really shoot.
Marie looked up, staring straight into yton’s eyes. “First, I’m not a spy, and second, I would
never hurt Dennis.”
yton stared at her, “Why should I believe you?”
Marieughed, “I don’t need you to believe me, as long as Dennis believes me, that’s enough. He
trusts that I won’t hurt him, so I can stay here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to wait for you to question
me; he would deal with me himself. You know better than I do what kind of person he is.”
yton knew well that Dennis’ decisive and ruthless actions left no room for hesitation. Otherwise,
there would be no Whitney Group today, nor the power he and his brothers held.
But when facing Marie, he always carried doubt.
Marie appeared to be simple, but upon closer inspection, she was quitéplex. Her background was
clean, but her disyed cleverness couldn’t be ignored.
Marie slowly raised her hand and grasped the barrel of yton’s gun.
Gavin and Cullen were startled and shouted at her.
“Marie!”
“Ms. Marie!”
