Chapter 160
Although Marie said it was just a slight pain in her shoulder and nothing serious, Dennis was still
worried. He insisted on taking her to Gavin for a check-up to make sure there were no issues with her
wound before letting it
1.
Gavin also cried out with a sad face, “Please, I beg you! Can you not bring
every small fight to me? Let me handle bigger issues! Don’t I deserve any
respect?”
Dennis furrowed his brow and said, “Marie was shot.”
Gavin nced at Marie and said, “Yeah! It was a gunshot wound from half a
month ago. I bet the bullet that hit her has rusted by now! Man, do none of you have anymon
sense?”
Dennis shook his head, “No, it’s just that anxiety deters rationale.”
Gavin said, “I’m begging you, please stop unting your love. The whole world knows you have a
girlfriend now.”
Marie’s face turned slightly red and she asked, “You keep saying ‘we’ and ‘us’,
but who else is there besides the two of us?”
As soon as this was mentioned, Gavin became even more frustrated. “Andres!
This was a gunshot wound from half a month ago. Look at Iliana, she had a knife wound almost two
months ago! Andres kepting over to check on her as if he had nothing better to do, acting like this
was his own personal hospital!”
Dennis shrugged, “He has his shares.”
Gavin was speechless.
There was no reasoning with him; the conversation couldn’t continue. In this hospital, both Dennis and
Andres held shares, so he really had no choice.
Marie didn’t care about all those trivial matters; she was only concerned about Iliana and took the
opportunity to indulge her gossiping nature. “Did Andres bring Iliana here? Do theye often?”
Gavin turned to Marie andined, “Exactly! I kindly set him up with
Iliana so he could make a clean break with Nataly sooner. Did I ask for him to harass me every day?”
Dennis nodded, “Serves you right, that’s what you get for being nosy.”
Gavin was rendered speechless.
It seemed to make sense, as he spent all day trying to persuade Andres, telling him how understanding
Iliana was and how maniptive Nataly could be.

emit the fragrance of being a single pringle…”
Dennis flipped through the magazine in his hand, not even looking up, “Those who line up outside the

hospital every day waiting to see Mr. Hart, they shouldn’t be patients, right?”
Gavin said, “Dennis, those mediocre women were not my cup of tea at all!”
Dennis looked up and asked, “Can we really expect to meet angels while hanging out in nightclubs all
day?”
Marie looked at Gavin’s gritted teeth and quietly pulled Dennis, saying,
“Well… let’s go first…”
She estimated that among Gavin’s group of people, no one could be meaner than Dennis. She saw
Gavin wanting to stab Dennis to death with a scalpel
every day.
Dennis put down the magazine and left the hospital with Marie.
After confirming that Marie’s injuries were not serious, Dennis took Marie out for dinner. There was a
video conference scheduled for the evening, so Dennis
went to work. Marie asked Luca to take her back to the Spence mansion.
After celebrating Asher’s birthday, she went on a business trip to France with
Dennis. Then, she went to Bordeaux to discuss script matters. On top of that, she identally got shot
and, afraid of worrying Asher, Marie hadn’t returned for a long time.
Upon entering, Asher hadn’t gone to sleep yet and was sitting in the living room ying chess with
Noel. When he saw Mariee in, he nced at her
and then, acting aloof, the old man turned his head away and ignored her.
Marie immediately ran over eagerly and said, “Grandpa! Look at me,
back!”
I’m
Asher was ying chess and shook his head, “Who? I don’t recognize them.”
Marie shook Asher’s arm and said, “Grandpa, I am your favorite granddaughter Marie! You love me the
most!”
Asher frowned and said, “My granddaughter has been missing for about ten
days to half a month.”
Marie hugged Asher tightly and wouldn’t let go, “Grandpa! I know I was
wrong! I won’t dare to do it again!”
Asher red at her and then rxed, saying, “Kiddo! You still know how to

been busy with work? I couldn’te back, but I’ve been thinking about you!
thought about you while eating and even while sleeping!”
Asher was cheered up by her, poked her forehead, and said, “Alright! You sure
know how to talk.”
Marie rubbed her head and said, “Since you’re busy ying chess, I’ll go take
a shower first, and thene down to chat with youter.”
Asher nodded, allowing her to leave. Marie didn’t mention the argument she
had with Noel that day at all, and she didn’t even look at Noel directly, as if she
couldn’t see him at all.
After taking a bath, Marie walked into the living room. Asher was no longer there, leaving only Noel
sitting alone under the dim light, lost in thought.
Seeing Marie approaching, Noel snapped back to reality, his voice gentle,
“Marie, you’re back.”
Marie nodded, didn’t say anything, and turned to leave.
“Marie!” Noel called out to her.
Marie stopped, turned around, looked at Noel, and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Noel hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m really sorry about what happened
“No need…” Marie interrupted him, “No need to apologize. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
“Marie!” Noel called out to her again, “I never thought about being your
enemy, and I haven’t done anything to hurt you.”
Marieughed and said, “There is littlemon ground for understanding between persons of differing
principles. What you think and what you do has nothing to do with me.”
“What if I help you? What if I help you do what you want to do?” Noel said.
Under the dim light, his warm eyes shone brightly like stars, dazzling Marie’s
eyes.
