Edward sighed and said, “Ms. Spence, stop it. Let’s avoid any unnecessary casualties…”

Marie helped Edward up and comforted him, “Don’t worry, Edward. Luca knows what to do.”

Edward lowered his head silently. Listening to the screams outside, he felt that Luca didn’t know what

to do.

Marie checked the wound on Edward’s head and said, “No broken skin, just a bruise. I’ll ask Luca to

apply

some medicine for you later. Edward, you’re old. Don’t fight them head-on. It’s no good.”

Edward sighed and pointed to the safety deposit box, saying, “This was left to you by Old Mr. Spence

before

he died. They can take everything else, but I can’t let them take this away.”

Marie knew that Edward was loyal to Asher and good to her. Now that Asher was gone, Edward

probably had no position in the Spence family anymore.

The screams outside finally stopped, and Luca walked in. Edward asked nervously, “Luca, you didn’t

hurt

them seriously, did you?”

Luca waved his hand and said, “No, no. Don’t worry, Edward. It’s just that they can’t get out of bed for

half a month. It’s okay.”

Edward was at a loss for words.

Luca looked at Marie curiously and asked, “You called me in a hurry and asked me to keep an eye on

the

safety deposit box. Is this what it is?”

Marie nodded. “Yes, that’s it.”

Squatting down to check the safe, Marie asked, “Edward, do you know the password?”

Edward nodded. ‘I know. Ms. Spence’s birthday is the password.”

Marie nose stung, and tears almost fell from her eyes. She keyed in the password quickly. With a click,

the safety deposit box’s lock was opened, and she flipped through it. There was only her birth

certificate and a

graveyard purchase contract inside, nothing else.

Marie took out the things and put them away. “Edward, the Spence mansion is not safe now. Why don’t

you

stay somewhere else with me?”

Edward shook his head. “No, I won’t. Ms. Spence, I’ve been living with Old Mr. Spence all my life. I

don’t have any children. Where should I go? I’ll go back to Las Vegas in a few days and live in the

Estate.”

Marie nose was sore as she said, “Edward, I’ll arrange a place for you. You don’t have to go back to

Las Vegas alone…”

“There’s really no need for that, Ms. Spence. I wanted to go back and help Old Mr. Spence to look after

the Estate, Edward said with a smile.

Unable to persuade him, Marie could only nod and send Edward back after Edward packed his things.

Luca escorted Marie out of the door. As soon as they went out, they met Olive. Olive was smug and

didn’t

care about Marie at all. As soon as she saw Marie, she immediately smiled and said, “Oh, is the

illegitimate

child back?”

With a sneer, Marie said, “Olive, we all know very well whether I’m an illegitimate child or not. You

worked so hard to kick me out of the Spence family, didn’t you?”

Olive was not angry and said, “You’ve met Sasha, right? Sasha and Iliana are very sensible! As soon

as my press conference opens in two days, Maris Entertainment will officially be merged into Olive

Entertainment, Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

and everything you have is mine! Marie, I’ve won the battle.”

The mention of Sasha and Iliana ignited a flame of anger within Marie. She vowed to address each and

every grievance they had endured, dealing with Olive and her accomplices one by one.

Marie ignored her and left the mansion. Olive didn’t care. Anyway, it wouldn’t be long before Marie got

out of

here.

Just as Marie walked out of the door, she saw a low-key Audi parked in the corner outside. She

recognized this car, probably the cheapest one in Dennis’ garage. She walked over and opened the car

door, got into the back seat, and saw Dennis. She narrowed her eyes, smiled and asked, “Why are you

here?”

Dennis was a little unhappy and said, “Didn’t we agree on this yesterday? I was going to accompany

you back in a couple of days to resolve the situation. Now you’ve come back on your own. What if you

got injured?”

Marie stuck out her tongue and said, “I won’t get hurt. Luca is here!”

Dennis raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “So, you trust Luca more?”

Marie immediately hugged Dennis and said, “No! Definitely not! Of course, I trust my Den-Den the

most!”

Dennis nodded with a sense of contentment. Meanwhile, Cullen, sitting in the driver’s seat, couldn’t

help but tremble. He marveled, Ms. Spence is truly a genius! Just with few words, she can coax Mr.

Whitney!

But it was really sweet. No wonder Gavin refused to have a meal with Dennis recently. It was said that

he was

enough of their excessive displays of affection.

Cullen drove the two back to Glorious Estate. As soon as they entered, Marie habitually helped Dennis

to take off his jacket. Dennis was injured before, making it quite inconvenient for him to move his

shoulder. Marie. had always been assisting him, and she had grown accustomed to it.

Dennis looked at the woman in front of him, carefully helped him take off his jacket, hang it up, and

took out his slippers, He said with a smile, “It seems that you will be a very virtuous wife in the future?”

Stunned, Marie looked at the slippers in her hand and blushed. With a snap, she threw the slippers on

the floor and said, “Your wound is healed! You can wear it yourself!”

Dennis was speechless.

Why did I say that? Dennis lamented inwardly, filled with regret. If only I hadn’t spoken up, I could have

savored a few more days of such devoted service!

Cullen silently praised Marie in his heart, it’s awesome. You’re good at coaxing your husband! You’re

submissive when it comes to coaxing, and full of momentum when it’s time to be fierce. Awesome!

Back in the living room, Marie asked, “Did anything go wrong when you went back to the company

today?”

Before Dennis could speak, Cullen was amused. With a gossipy look on his face, he came over and

said, “Ms. Spence, you don’t know that the scene today can make me laugh for a year!”

Marie became interested and even poured a glass of water for Cullen. She asked, “What happened?

What’s

going on?”

Dennis shook his head helplessly when he saw the excitement on their faces.

Cullen commented, “Hasn’t Mr. Whitney been absent for the past few days? That rascal, Kevin… No,

the youngest son of the Whitney family, has been causing quite a stir in the company. He persuaded

Old Mr. Whitney to appoint him as the general manager, and now he was even contemplating to take

over as the CEO

to seize control of Whitney Group!”

When Marie heard that, she asked nervously. “Then what? What is he now? The new CEO?”

Cullen smiled even more happily and said, “Who does he think he is, calling himself a CEO? He hasn’t

even done any of the business operations that we mentioned to him. Being a figurehead general

manager is already good enough. Yet, he insisted on causing a fuss for the past few days, jumping up

and down, demanding to hold a board meeting, claiming that Mr. Whitney went missing without reason

and that a new CEO should be elected. And guess what? Today, during the meeting, Mr. Whitney

suddenly returned!”

Marie smiled and asked nosily. “That should be a wonderful scene, right?”

“That’s correct!” Cullen exclaimed, slapping his thigh, as he proceeded to recount the details of the

incident to Marie. Helplessly, Dennis pinched the bridge of his nose, wondering if these two individuals

had completely disregarded his presence as the person directly involved in the situation.

According to Cullen, when Dennis walked into the conference room, Kevin was sitting in his seat.

Dennis. walked over, sat at the end of the conference table, knocked on the table, and asked, “I heard

that in the past few days when I was away, the owner of Whitney Group has changed?”

The conference room was silent. Dennis was in charge of Whitney Group over the years, and the

business landscape of Whitney Group had expanded again and again. The dividends in the hands of

these shareholders were getting more and more year by year. No one would question Dennis’s ability.

As for Kevin, everyone knew that it was difficult for the youngest son of the Whitney family to become

successful. Otherwise, Old Mr. Whitney wouldn’t have brought Dennis back to take over Whitney

Group.

The shareholders didn’t say anything, but even Kevin didn’t dare to make a sound. Dennis looked at

Kevin across the conference table and asked, “Kevin, do you want to take over my place?”

His eyes and aura were full of majesty. He was born to be dominant and didn’t need to be afraid of

anyone.

Kevin stuttered, “No… No, I’m just temporarily… temporarily…”

“In that case, I’m back. You can go home and rest. Dennis gave the order to leave without hesitation.

Cullen 1politely” called a taxi for Kevin and sent him back to the Whitney mansion.

As soon as Kevin stood up, Dennis issued a command, “Cullen, dispose of this chair and bring me a

new one. The meeting will proceed. Who here supports the appointment of a new CEO for Whitney

Group? Apparently,

my performance has fallen short of everyone’s expectations. Kindly submit your resignation letters to

my

office before the end of the workday.”
