Chapter 208

Dennis lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and was about to leave when Clayton stopped him. Dennis

smiled and said, “Clayton, I’m injured all over, and I can’t beat you. You can forcibly handcuff me here

too, so I won’t

go to her.”

“Dennis! She is…” Clayton was about to call her “Rose”.

Dennis interrupted him, “She’s my fiancée. Maybe she has other identities, Rose, Emily, and Marry,

which are

not important. To me, she’s just Marie.”

Clayton opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Dennis said, “Clayton, if you can’t trust her, just

trust

1. Trust my intuition. She’s not your enemy.”

Dennis was weak all over, but he seemed to have great strength when he waved away Clayton’s

hands.

Clayton could only stand in a daze, watching Dennis’ back as he walked away. Gavin and Cullen

helped him

walk toward the small dark room. They went together and picked up Marie..

Clayton thought everyone except him, including Cullen, Gavin, and Andres, firmly believed in Marie.

Was his

judgment wrong?

Dennis walked to the door of the small dark room. He paused and then raised his hand to open the

door.

The door opened, but Dennis and the others were stunned.

The small dark room was empty, and the handcuffs in the corner were pried open. The room was

unobstructed, and there was no trace of Marie.

Dennis had seen clearly that she was nestled in the corner of this room!

Then there was only one possibility. Someone had intruded on the surveillance camera here. What

Dennis

saw was already unknown when the surveillance footage was taken.

As for Marie, she might have left long ago.

“Mr. Whitney…” Cullen looked worriedly at Dennis’ face. He was seriously injured and should have

been

resting in bed. He insisted on running over to find Marie, but she was gone.

Dennis clenched his fist and asked, “Who took her away?”

Gavin was stunned and said, “Dennis, are you suspecting Clayton?”

Dennis walked back with a livid face and bumped into Clayton. He shook off both Cullen and Gavin,

who were holding him, and rushed over to punch Clayton and shouted, “Where did you take her!”

His punch only had little impact. Clayton didn’t shake and said, “Dennis, someone else has rescued

her. Don’t you believe it? The person behind her is far stronger than we imagine.”

Dennis grabbed Clayton’s collar and shouted, “You’d better be glad she’s safe. Otherwise, don’t blame

me for being rude!”

Before Clayton could speak, Dennis coughed violently. He moved too much and pulled the wound. He

bent

down and coughed twice, shouting. “Cullen!”

Cullen immediately came over to support Dennis and said, “Mr. Whitney.”

Dennis ordered, “Send someone to look for her immediately!”

Cullen nodded and handed Dennis over to Gavin. He walked out while making a phone call, sending

more

people to look for Marie.

At that moment, Marie nestled in the car’s back seat without saying a word.

Half an hour ago.

Kate pried open Marie’s handcuffs and said, “It’s time to go.”

Hesitantly, Marie stood up and asked, “Where is he?”

Kate carefully examined the situation outside. She turned to her and said, “Dennis has already woken

up. He,

hasn’t said a word about you all day.”

Marie lowered her head, sniffled, and said, “Really? I’m glad he’s awake…”

Kate patted her shoulder and said, “Marie, you’re a suspect. Clayton can’t wait to keep you away from

Dennis. I guess you’ve been shooting and fighting this time, and Dennis won’t trust you as much as

before.”

Marie looked at Kate and said, “But… he loves me…”

Kate said, “Marie, love can’t control a person’s thoughts and actions, not to mention someone as

outstanding as Dennis. If he wants to see you, he’ll see you as soon as he wakes up.”

The light in Marie’s eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and muttered, “I think… I’m falling in love with

him…”

Kate didn’t hear what she said. She pulled Marie and said, “It’s time to go. Emory and the others are

waiting

outside.”

Marie didn’t resist when Kate pulled her out of the room and sneaked out. Emory and Luca had

knocked the people at the door down. Seeing that they didn’t make things difficult for Marie, Emory and

the others didn’t

kill them.

After taking Marie to the car, they had to leave immediately and find a remote place to hide before

sending

her away.

Since Marie got into the car, she had been sitting in the back seat without saying a word. She was still

wearing the tattered vest covered in blood and mud, and her hair was also messy. She didn’t seem to

care much and kept looking out the window in silence.

Marie knew this day would come sooner or later but didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

This was the best outcome between her and Dennis. She had rescued Dennis successfully. She didn’t

see

him wake up with her own eyes, but it didn’t matter.

As for the lies and concealments in the past, Dennis had discovered and even figured it out and made Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

him feel she had sneaked into the Spence family. This was a good thing. At least she was still an

ordinary person

to Dennis.

It didn’t matter if Dennis hated her for the rest of her life. At least she once stayed in his heart.

Marie sniffled but couldn’t cry. She had Emory and her friends and still had a lot to do.

Luca turned around and said sornething to Kate, and then he reached out his hand to Marie.

Marie was forced to look at Luca’s hand and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Luca opened his palm in front of her. The beautiful, sparkling diamond ring was lying in Luca’s palm.

Marie

had forgotten that she asked Luca to keep it before she went in..

Luca shook his hand and said, “Here, your ring.”

Marie tried hard not to cry, but now her tears fell all at once. She took the ring, put it on her finger, and

huddled up in the car seat, whimpering.

She didn’t want to be like this. She didn’t want to leave and still wanted to stay by Dennis’ side, eating

and

sleeping with him.

That man had proposed her, and at first she didn’t agree because of her grandpa’s wish. But when she

said

yes, she thought she would be with Dennis for the rest of her life.

When she was crying seriously and sad, suddenly there was a sharp screeching sound from the car.

Marie was driven forward by the inertia and hit the front seat. Feeling dizzy and disoriented, she rubbed

and raised her head. Then she saw three SUVS blocking the road ahead.

Then the doors of the two cars on both sides were opened, and ten well-trained men jumped out of the

cars holding guns and pointing at Marie and her friends’ car.

Emory and the others quickly took out their guns and prepared to fight. The SUV in the middle, which

had been quiet, suddenly opened the door.

Cullen got out of the car first, then walked to the back door and reached out to help the person in the

car.

The man in the black trench coat got out of the car. It was dark, but Marie still saw his pale face through

the

car window, which made her heart ache.

She reached out to open the car door, but Kate grabbed her and said, “Marie, don’t be silly!”

Dennis had brought so many people to hijack the car, and Marie shouldn’t throw herself into the trap

anymore.

Marie stared at Dennis, who was standing in front of her. Dennis turned his head and said something to

Cullen, who then walked over with two guards. He opened the back seat door, looked at Marie, and

said, “Ms. Marie, Mr. Whitney asked you to get out of the car.”

The situation was obvious. Emory and the three of them, with three guns, no matter how good they

were at fighting, were no match for the ten muzzles pointing at them.

Marie got out of the car and stood in front of it. Emory and the others quickly got out of the car and

stood

behind her, trying to protect her.

At such a tense moment, Marie lowered her head and drew small circles on the ground with her toes.

She didn’t dare to look at Dennis. She was afraid that there was no love, only hatred and resentment in

those

beautiful eyes.

She thought that someone like Dennis, who couldn’t tolerate things, probably came to arrest her.

Maybe he wants to take me back and interrogate me carefully. Who knows?
