Chapter 41 Marie Everywhere

Dennis stood in the corner, watching Marie’s hypocritical performance with a smirk on his lips.

Cullen stood behind Dennis, unable to help but think, just a couple of days ago, hadn’t Dennis

righteously refused to attend the Herbert family’s banquet? And now, what happened?

Upon hearing that the clothing store had delivered dresses to the Spence mansion but had missed

Marie’s, he made a phone call, and soon a dress was sent to Asher’s place, specifically addressed to

Marie.

However, Dennis had already lent the money and sent the gift, but Marie didn’t even give him a single

phone call.

This afternoon, Dennis was in a foul mood at the branch office. He scolded the Finance Director for

having a mistake in the financial report and criticized the Sales Manager for poor performance. He was

even unhappy with a piece of waste paper found in the office.

In summary, the entire branch office was on edge today, not knowing who had the misfortune of

offending Dennis.

As Dennis’s lackey, Cullen tactfully handed over the Herbert family’s invitation at the right moment,

saying, “Mr. Whitney, the Herbert Group has some business dealings with us too. Since it’s Mrs. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Herbert’s birthday, it would be nice for Mr. Whitney to make an appearance and show some respect to

the Herbert family.”

In a nutshell, it wasn’t to see Marie, but rather for the sake of appearances in the marketplace.

Dennis darkened his face and told Cullen to drive.

Cullen couldn’t help but sigh. In this world, there was no one who understood their own CEO’s tsundere

nature better than him.

And Dennis, his eyes were filled with the sight of Marie amidst the crowd.

That dress fit her perfectly, as if a forest fairy had stepped into the mortal world.

Her eyes were lively and cunning, observing everything around her. She skillfully attacked Mia and her

daughter with indirect blows, like a little fox that had been holding back its strength.

Dennis casually slipped one hand into his pocket while holding a glass of red wine in the other.

Someone approached him and greeted, “Mr. Whitney.”

Leo Herbert is the CEO of the Hebert Group and Ira’s father.

Dennis turned around, handing the wine to Cullen behind him. He reached out and shook hands with

Leo, saying, “Mr. Herbert.”

“Mr. Whitney, taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my wife’s birthday banquet truly

brings joy to the entire Herbert family. Your presence brightens our humble home!” Leo complimented.

Everyone knows that Dennis is the most likely heir to the Whitney family of New York, an Influential

noble family. By connecting with them, it would undoubtedly make future business dealings much

easier.

“Mr. Herbert is too kind,” Dennis said nonchalantly.

He wasn’t here to talk business. He was merely using the excuse of attending the banquet to see

Marie, dressed in the gown he gifted her, as she brazenly bullied others with her flamboyant.

gestures.

Now feeling disturbed and in a slightly impatient mood.

Leo was quite perceptive and noticed that Dennis kept glancing at the crowd, seemingly uninterested in

discussing business. He tentatively asked, “Mr. Whitney, did you bring a female companion today?”

Dennis frowned, and Cullen immediately said, “Our Mr. Whitney doesn’t have the habit of bringing a

female companion.”

Everyone in New York high society knows that Dennis isn’t interested in women. He never brings a

female companion to any event, and only Cullen can be seen constantly by his side.

Leo immediately complimented, “Mr. Whitney is truly a man of integrity! Nowadays, there aren’t many

young and promising individuals like Mr. Whitney among the younger generation!”

Dennis smiled, but still didn’t say anything.

Cullen thought to himself, couldn’t Leo be a bit more perceptive? Couldn’t he see that Dennis didn’t

want to deal with him?

I can tell with absolute certainty that our CEO just wants to watch Marie dominate and conquer all

around her right now.

Leo could tell that Dennis wasn’t in the mood for conversation, so he said, “I’ll go greet the other

guests. Please make yourself at home, Mr. Whitney. I apologize if our hospitality is lacking, and I hope

you can bear with us.”

Dennis nodded, finally managing to send this person away.

Dennis looked at Marie in the crowd and asked, “Where is her laboratory report?”

“The man that day was sent by Mrs. Spence, and the laboratory report has already been handed over

to her.” Cullen reported.

“So, they plan to take action today?” Dennis asked.

“I’m not quite sure about that. Even if Ms. Dillon dislikes Ms. Spence, she probably wouldn’t cause a

scene at a future in–law’s banquet.” Cullen said.

“Keep a close eye on that mother and daughter. If they insist on seeking death, then let them have it.”

Dennis swirled the red wine in his hand, and under the dim light, his extraordinary appearance was

accompanied by an air of condescension.

However, in the blink of an eye, upon seeing Marie flash a smile at the Herbert family’s son,

Dennis’s face instantly darkened.

Marie saw the man next to Carly and said with a smile, “Carly, aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Carly took Ira’s hand and said, “Marie, this is Ira, my boyfriend. Ira, this is Marie, you should have

seen her before.”

Ira and the others are two grades above, considered as senior students. Nowadays, they are studying

at a university in New York.

Marie smiled and said, “Ira, I’ve heard so much about you.”
