Chapter 141
She didn’t know where she got the courage and strength from, but in this quiet, deserted garden, when
Noel was much stronger than her, she should have given in and shown weakness, escaping sooner.
But Noel said that Dennis would be a dead person.
Whether it was to scare her or just a joke, it had gone too far. As for Marie, she couldn’t even bear to
think about what it would be like without Dennis by her side. Just the thought of it caused her heart-
wrenching pain.
Everyone who cursed Dennis like this, shut up!
No matter the method, whether hitting him, scolding him, or even killing him, as long as it made Noel
shut up, it was fine.
So, without giving it much thought, she raised her hand and pped Noel.
With a p that used all their strength, five finger marks immediately appeared on Noel’s pale face.
Perhaps he had been a pampered young wealthy man all his life, never having experienced any
scolding or beatings. That’s why he was so surprised when
Marie hit him.
“Marie, do you think I don’t dare to touch you?” Noel turned his head and
looked at Marie coldly.
A grown man, pped in the face, experienced such humiliation that it was enough to make him burn
with anger.
Marie smirked and said, “Noel, I wish you would juste at me directly instead of pretending to be a
good person here. I’ve never been afraid of being your enemy!”
Noel gripped Marie’s waist and spun her around, pressing her against the
pir. His grip tightened, causing not only Marie’s arms to ache, but her waist
as well.
Get Bogu
Before Noel could speak, an anxious voice suddenly came from behind,
“Marie!” It was Luca.
Marie seemed to have seen a savior, as she stuck her head out and shouted,
“Luca! Save me!”
Noel frowned, Luca was just Marie’s driver after all, he had no right to address
her by her first name like that.
Luca rushed over and pulled Noel away with a skillful, albeit not very strong,
force. Noel felt a pain in his shoulder and let go of Marie.
Marie gained her freedom and immediately moved behind Luca. Noel frowned
and looked at Luca, “Move!”
Luca firmly blocked Marie. “Mr. Spence, protecting Marie’s safety is my job.”
“Do you think I would hurt her?” Noel asked, looking at Luca. The man was tall and handsome,
appearing to be someone proficient inbat.
“You can.” Without any hesitation, Luca answered Noel.
In Luca’s single-minded way of thinking, since Marie hated Noel, it meant that Noel must not be a good
person. And if Noel wasn’t a good person, then they might potentially harm Marie.
Noel clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and asked, “What about Dennis?”
Luca shook his head decisively, “No.”
Marie chuckled, and Luca thought it was well-deserved. At least up until now, Dennis hadn’t done
anything to harm Marie and had even helped her several
times.
In Cullen’s words, Dennis practically held Marie in the palm of his hand, protecting her, so of course
Dennis wouldn’t hurt Marie.

Noel became angry, he swung his right fist and fiercely struck Luca’s face.
However, his fist was firmly caught by Luca, whose palm was in front, urately gripping Noel’s fist.
Noel was taken aback, but after all, he had trained and had excellent skills. So
even though Marie had done a lot of exercises, she still couldn’t match his
strength.
But he never expected that the sudden punch he threw would be urately
caught by Luca.
Moreover, seeing Marie’s nonchnt expression, it seemed that she had
known all along that Luca wouldn’t get hurt.
Luca slowly loosened his grip, Noel lowered his fist, looked at Luca, and Luca smiled without saying
anything.
However, Noel knew that the punch just now had made it very clear – he
couldn’t beat Luca, and there was no chance of winning.
Marie nced at Noel disdainfully and said, “Don’t move around carelessly. If
you get hurt, I won’t be able to exin it to Grandpa.”
After speaking, Marie turned around and left the gazebo. Luca followed Marie,
and they both left together.
Noel watched as the two figures walked away. Luca didn’t follow behind Marie; instead, he walked
beside her. They were chatting andughing together, not at all like a noble youngdy and her
bodyguard who had just met recently. Instead, they seemed more like good friends.
Marie punched Luca and asked, “Where have you been? Why didn’t youe earlier?”
Luca shrugged, “I went to grab some food, and after going around in circles, I realized you hadn’te
back, so I came out to look for you.”

Marie said helplessly, “If you were anyter, Noel would have broken my
arm.”
Luca grinned and said, “Don’t worry, I’llpensate you for his
interruption.”
Marie was speechless.
Man, was this the main point?
Back at the banquet hall, Marie found Iliana and asked, “Didn’t we say we were going to look for Luca
together? Where did you go?”
Iliana pointed at Andres and helplessly spread her hands. “He dragged me to
dance.”
Marieughed mischievously, “You and Andres? You two…”
“Don’t get me wrong!” Iliana waved her hand and said, “He was hiding from Nataly, and I was just there
to help.”
Marie clicked her tongue and said, “Next time, don’t block her either. Nataly is a crazy woman. What if
she does something to you?”
Ilianaughed, “I’m not afraid of her, and I can also help you annoy her.”
Marie alsoughed, picked up a small finger food, and brought it to Iliana’s mouth, saying, “Very
enlightened, rewarding you with a finger food!”
Iliana grabbed some finger food with her mouth and asked unclearly, “What did Luca say? Where did
the oil paintinge from?”
Marie’s face turned red as she ate finger food and said, “Dennis brought it.”
“Oh…” Ilianaughed as she looked at Marie, not saying anything, just smiling at her with a face that
seemed to say, “My girl has grown up.”
“Oh no! What are you looking at?” Marie covered her face, unable to eat because Iliana was staring at
her.

Ilianaughed and yfully hit Marie, “Mr. Whitney is quite impressive! He actually managed to make
you blush!”
Marie buried her head and said helplessly, “I just helped defuse the situation,
didn’t I…”
Iliana said with a grin, “Mr. Whitney is famously uninterested in women in
New York. Now, it’s clear that he’spletely smitten with you. I don’t care, I
want to reserve my spot as a bridesmaid!”
Marie pushed Iliana and said, “Nonsense! What bridesmaid!”
Ilianaughed as she dodged, “And godmother! I want to be the godmother!
I’ll reserve it for Sasha too!”

Marie pulled Iliana close and firmly patted her forehead twice, saying, “When
you and Andres officially tie the knot, I want to be the bridesmaid!”
Iliana helplessly spread her hands. “Me and Andres? Impossible.”
“Why? Are we still waiting for the person from abroad?” Marie asked.
She vaguely heard Iliana mention that she had a man who was like a childhood
sweetheart, just as Andres liked Nataly. Iliana had been determined to love
that man for more than a decade, but it never led to anything.
Iliana forced a bitter smile and said, “I guess so. So for Andres, it’s just that misery lovespany,
nothing more.”
Marie reached out and hugged Iliana,forting her by patting her shoulder. “It’s alright. Andres is
deeply in love with Nataly, and I don’t want you to get
involved with him!”
Iliana nodded, “Yes, I know.”
Over at Olive’s, in order to please Nataly, she specifically booked a flight to France for Nataly and
encouraged her to go to France to find Dennis.

Glorious
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Nataly was a bit hesitant to go. Last time she had stolen the keys to Glorious
Estate, Dennis didn’t say much, but he decisively changed the locks for
Glorious Estate and firmly rejected Nataly’s desired coboration. He even
called the Carmen family to inform them that it was time for Nataly to return to Ennd to get married
and have children.
This man clearly showed his attitude, wanting to push her far away, preferably throwing her directly to
Ennd, never to be seen again.
All of this happened because she went to Glorious Estate and confronted
Marie.
This time, she didn’t know if her secretly going to France and disturbing Dennis’ work would make him
angry enough to send her directly to Ennd.
Nataly took the ne ticket, and in Olive’s eyes, she was the candidate to be Dennis’s future wife. She
didn’t want to lose such a dignity.
But whether she went or not was her own business. Even if she didn’t go, Olive
wouldn’t know.
