“Mr. Whitney, there’s one more thing,” Cullen suddenly remembered.
“Speak.”
“There was a strange incident where Ms. Spence fell down the stairs. It was said that her injuries were
so severe that the doctors issued a critical condition notice. However, unexpectedly, she woke up after
being unconscious for two days. Upon re–examination, the doctors realized they had misdiagnosed
her, and it was just a concussion,” Cullen said.
Dennis stared at the documents on the table, tapping his fingers on the surface one by one. Cullen
knew that Dennis only did this when he was deep in thought.
So Dennis was thinking, does that mean Marie was on the verge of death, and then suddenly.
recovered?
Could it be that this Marie is not the original foolish Marie at all?
However, the information clearly stated that Mason’s ex–wife only had one child, Maric.
“Did you check on that ex–wife?” Dennis asked.
“I checked, but there isn’t much information. Mason had no feelings for her, and having a child was
an accident. He hardly ever took her out to meet friends. After she passed away, the Spence family
cleared out all her belongings, so there’s not much to find,” Cullen said.
“Why would someone marry without love? If it’s a business alliance, there should be a powerful family
behind it, right?” Dennis asked.
“Well… it is said that she is the daughter of an overseas compatriot, but the clues about that lady have
been lost. After her death, all the housekeepers at Spence Mansion were replaced, with Ms.
Dillon taking charge, and Mason just letting her do as she pleases,” Cullen explained.
“What did she do with the 3 million dollars she borrowed today?” Dennis asked.
Cullen immediately said, “Buying a house…”
“Buy a house?” Dennis asked.
“Yes, Ms. Spence bought a detached mansion in the west suburbs, with an area of 3,700 square feet,
for a total of 6.75 million dollars, paid in full.” Cullen handed the real estate office’s information to
Dennis.
“Where did the remaining $3.75 million dollars come from if she only borrowed $3 million dollars
out of the full $6.75 million dollars?” Dennis asked.
“I’m not sure about that… All I know is that Ms. Spence paid in full, but I can’t find out where the money
came from,” Cullen said.

“Go investigate all her accounts, and everyone who has had financial dealings with her. We must find
out where the rest of the money came from!” Dennis said.
“Of course!” Cullen immediately agreed.
“What’s the purpose of buying a house?” Dennis asked.
“The salesperson said that Ms. Spence didn’t care about the price at the time, but she needed a large
space for five or six people to live together. She chose the west suburbs because they were close to
the airport and the docks,” Cullen explained.
Five or six people Dennis tapped the table in thought. Marie had no friends growing up, and her mother
passed away early. Where would five or six people come from to live in such a huge mansion?
“Keep an eye on that mansion and see who lives there!” Dennis said.
“Yes!” Cullen said.
He felt utterly embarrassed. As Dennis’s assistant, he took great pride in his abilities, but they all
seemed to fail him when it came to Marie. He couldn’t find any useful information, and the more he
investigated, the more mysteries he uncovered.
After Cullen left, Dennis stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window in his office, gazing at the bustling
traffic below. He was reminded of a similar evening when the girl had climbed out of the
window and fallen into his arms.
I thought it was just a fleeting first encounter, but it turns out that this Marie has far more secrets hidden than I could have ever imagined.
Marie, you’ve successfully piqued my interest.
The next day, someone from the clothing store came to deliver the formal attire for the evening. That
night, Marie was going to attend Aria’s birthday banquet with Mia and Carly.
The store clerk brought Mia and Carly four dresses, two for each of them – one to wear to the
banquet and another as a backup.
The two of them excitedly changed into their formal attire and applied makeup. When they stepped out
again, they appeared as elegant ladies accompanied by their young daughters of noble birth.
Upon seeing Marie still standing there, Mia was surprised and exclaimed with her hand covering her
mouth, “Oh dear, Marie, I’m so sorry! You never used to attend these banquets, and now the clothing
store didn’t bring enough formal dresses. What are we going to do?”
Carly stood to the side, mocking her as she sneered, “Mom, if there’s no formal dress, then don’t let
Marie go to the banquet. It’s okay to miss it this time; there will be another one. Otherwise, not wearing
a formal dress would be really rude.”

After pretending to think for a moment, Mia said, “In that case, Marie shouldn’t go this time. I’ll talk to
Father later and have him prepare some decent clothes for you.”
Carly laughed happily and said, “Mom, let’s hurry up then, we don’t want to keep Mrs. Herbert. waiting
for too long.”
Mia nodded and left the door with Carly.
From beginning to end, the two of them didn’t ask Marie a single question. Marie just quietly watched
their performance. This mother and daughter duo really should consider entering the
entertainment industry together; that’s where they would have a promising future.
