Chapter 144
Marie looked at her coldly, “Olive, it’s you who can’t understand humannguage. Didn’t you hear
Edward say that Grandpa didn’t want to be disturbed. by others? What were you trying to do by barging
in so recklessly? Prove your filial piety?”
“My filial piety doesn’t need proof! I’m just worried about Grandpa!” Olive
shouted.
Marie sneered, “If you don’t need proof, then don’t make a fuss here. If you’re worried that Grandpa’s
poor health means his time is near, and that I’ll take the opportunity to grab his shares, then there’s no
need for that either.
Firstly, Grandpa was just recuperating and didn’t have any serious illness. Secondly, taking away your
shares was bound to happen sooner orter, and it
had nothing to do with Grandpa’s health.”
“Marie Spence! You…” Olive was left speechless by the ridicule.
She originally came over to check on Asher’s health, but Edward adamantly refused to let her in. She
only heard from the housekeeper that Asher was not seriously ill, just constantlycking energy.
She was worried that if Asher had an ident and left unexpectedly, and only Marie was by his side,
wouldn’t Marie use her proximity to the powerful to obtain favor and take away those shares?
She was about to speak when Edward came out and said to Marie, “Ms. Marie, Old Mr. Spence has
woken up and asked for you toe in.”
Marie nodded, and Olive asked, “What about me? What about me?”
Edwardughed and said, “Ms. Olive, Old Mr. Spence didn’t say he wanted to see you.”
Before Olive had a chance to speak, Marie said, “In that case, Edward, please clòse the door and let
the unrted person leave, so as not to disturb
Grandpa’s rest.”
Edward nodded, closed the door, and followed Marie. Olive was left outside, stomped her foot, and
knocked on the door a few times, but received no
response. With no other choice, she had to leave.
Marie walked into the room and saw Asher already sitting up in bed, taking his medicine. She smiled
and approached him, asking, “Grandpa, are you awake? How are you feeling?”
Asher also smiled and said, “You still remember toe back and see how I’m doing? I thought you
were going to live in France!”
Marie chuckled and said, “Not at all, you’re always talking nonsense!”
Asher was drinking the medicine and didn’t pay attention to her. Marie asked, “Grandpa, how are you
feeling? Should I ask Gavin toe over and take a
look?”
Asher shook his head and said, “It’s nothing serious, I’m just getting old. I
was tired from the two days of the birthday party. It’s not a big deal, no need
to bother Gavin.”
“It was my fault, I shouldn’t have taken you on airnes back and forth, causing you to be tired,” Marie
said with her head down.
Asher had gotten older and, unlike young people, the quick dinner journeybined with the banquet
the next day was too much for his body to handle.
“Silly girl, what are you talking about? I had a great time!” Asherforted
her with a smile.
Marieughed and said, “Let’s have Gavin take a look, I don’t trust other
doctors.”
Asher couldn’t argue with him, so he agreed. Marie went to the living room to call Gavin, asking him to
agreed.

Marie went back to the room and apanied Asher while he finished his
medicine. She then brought him the oatmeal she had cooked in the kitchen
and let him take a few sips before Gavin arrived.
As soon as he entered, Gavin briefly greeted Marie and sat down, asking, “Old Mr. Spence, what’s
bothering you?”
Asher waved his hand and said, “It’s fine, I just feel weak. It’s just that Marie
made too much of a fuss.”
Gavin opened the medicine box and said with a smile, “It’s not making too much of a fuss, Marie is just
being filial to you.”
Gavin checked Asher, put away the medical kit, and said, “It’s nothing serious, just exhaustion. Rest a
bit and take some traditional medicine to recuperate, and you’ll be fine.”
Asher looked at Marie proudly, “See! I told you everything would be fine,
didn’t I?”
Marieughed and said, “Yes! You’re right!”
Marie took Gavin to the door and asked, “Gavin, tell me the truth, was Grandpa really tired?”
Gavin nodded and said, “Don’t worry, there’s really nothing wrong. I’m just
tired. It’s true that I’m getting older, so I need to pay more attention to my health in the next couple of
years.”
Marie nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Gavinughed, went out and got in the car, preparing to leave. Suddenly, he rolled down the window
and asked, “How are Iliana and Andres doing?”
Marie was taken aback, “Iliana and Andres?”
Gavin nodded, “Yeah! I think those two may have a little something going on!
Iliana is way better than that woman Nataly!”

Marie pouted, “Can you notpare Iliana and Nataly? Lowering the
standards…”
Gavinughed, “Alright, alright, but Marie, Dennis really cares about you. Nataly was just a fool that
one time, and Dennis already considered having the Carmen family take her back to Ennd!”
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Marie knew it, she felt delighted inside, but didn’t say anything.
Gavin knocked on the ss and said, “Honestly, Iliana is really great. If there’s a chance, could we try
to set her up with Andres?”
Marie firmly shook her head, “No way! Andres waspletely devoted to
Nataly, I would never throw Iliana to the wolves!”
Gavin said helplessly, “Andres is such a fool when ites to emotions. I
don’t think he really liked Nataly that much; he’s just been holding on to this unrequited love for all
these years!”
Marie shook her head, “That won’t work either, he has an unforgettable lover in his heart, so it’s
impossible! Besides, Iliana has a childhood sweetheart, and
she’s not interested in Andres at all.”
Upon hearing that Iliana had found someone she fancied, Gavin shook his head in disappointment,
“Ah! It seems Andres is destined to live as a bachelor
for the rest of his life!”
Marie was speechless.
Gavin drove away, while Marie went back to watch Asher finish eating. She
helped Edward clean up a bit, and then apanied Asher in conversation until he became tired and
fell asleep. Only then did Marie return to her room.
This went on for almost a week, and it was only then that Asher gradually regained his energy and was
able to go for a stroll in the garden.
