Chapter 19 Marie is Pregnant

At this moment, Dennis was sitting in the back seat of the car, and Cullen felt that the temperature.

inside had dropped by several degrees.

Just a couple of days ago, Marie and Dennis were getting along so well, but today they somehow

ended up arguing.

Dennis rubbed his forehead, suddenly recalling the phrase Marie had said more than once, “Don’t be

concerned, Mr. Whitney.” For some reason, he was reminded of the day when, through the screen,

Rose had said, “It’s just a personal grudge, don’t be concerned, Mr. Whitney.”

With the same indifference and stubbornness, she was like an angry little lion, baring her teeth and

brandishing her claws.

He casually asked, “Still no news from Rose?”

Cullen said, “Ever since we missed that opportunity at the cyber cafe, there’s been no news.”

Dennis looked out the window at the cyber cafe, remembering that Marie had also been there that day.

He felt a bit bewildered. Marie was just a high school student with no ability to defend herself, while

Rose was a fearsome Ace Killer that made people tremble at the mere mention of her name. How

could they possibly be related?

“Mr. Whitney, Mrs. Herbert’s birthday is in a few days, and you have received an invitation,” Cullen

said.

“No.” Dennis coldly refused.

“The Spence family also received an invitation, so they should be attending,” Cullen reminded.

“Are you that free? Still paying attention to the Spence family?” Dennis gave him a sidelong glance.

“No, no, I’m really busy, I’m still looking for Rose!” Cullen immediately said.

He definitely didn’t want Dennis to be unhappy and throw him to Africa.

One day, Marie was taking a stroll in the garden when she happened to overhear two housekeepers

whispering about something.

She leaned in to listen near the corner of the wall and overheard a housekeeper saying, “Did you hear?

Ms. Marie is pregnant!”

Who?

Is she pregnant?

“Have you heard? Have you heard? Someone got into trouble messing around outside!” Another

housekeeper said.

“But Ms. Marie looks so good after losing weight, I think she’s even prettier than Ms. Carly!”

“What’s the use of being beautiful if one has a poor character? No one taught her since she was

young,” said the housekeeper Jaycee.

“What are you two babbling about?” The two housekeeper chatted away, not noticing someone

approaching.

Marie turned her head and saw a young girl who hadn’t been here for very long.

“You little brat, what makes you think you have any say in what we’re discussing?”

The two housekeepers were both long-time members of the Spence family, so naturally, they wouldn’t

take this young girl seriously.

“Well, you shouldn’t be talking about the master like this. Ms. Marie just come of age, how can she bear

such gossip and rumors?” The young girl continued to argue her point.

“Who says it’s just gossip? If one doesn’t behave properly, why fear others talking about it?” said a

housekeeper.

“You guys are going too far! I’m going to tell Old Mr. Spence!” the little girl said. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Jaycee dropped the broom she was holding and rushed towards the young girl, giving her a forceful

slap. The immense force nearly knocked the girl off her feet.

“Hey, you little brat, you’ve only been with the Spence family for a few days, and you dare to talk to us

like that?” Jaycee grumbled angrily.

“How long have you been with the Spence family? And you dare to gossip about me behind my back?”

Marie walked out from her hiding place and asked sternly.

“Ms. Marie, we’re just having a casual chat here. Besides, we’ve both been serving the Spence family

for so many years. We can speak our minds, and Mrs. Spence wouldn’t blame us for it,” Jaycee said

with a sarcastic tone.

In their hearts, Marie was nothing more than a neglected and down-on-her-luck young lady. She may

have held the title of a lady, but for over a decade, who had ever given her a proper

look?

It turned out that when Mia was given leftover food, she didn’t dare to say no. These housekeepers

were even more brazen in bullying her.

‘Well, just say what’s on your mind, right?” Marie said with a smile as she walked over.

With a radiant smile on her face, she suddenly raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap across

Jaycee’s cheek.

Her daily exercise had made her quite strong, and Jaycee’s face immediately swelled up.

Jaycee covered her face, looking at Marie in disbelief, “You… you…’

“What’s the matter? Do you still think I’m the same submissive Marie? Let me tell you, I am the

third daughter of the Spence family, which makes me your master. If you don’t know how to be a good

housekeeper, I can teach you myself!” Marie declared with conviction.

Jaycee was so frightened that she stood frozen in place, unable to speak. Where was the Ms. Marie

who used to let people walk all over her?

“Have you realized your mistake? Or do I need to teach you a lesson again?” Marie asked coldly.

“Sorry, sorry, Ms. Marie, we know we were wrong.” The two maids immediately said, not wanting to be

slapped again.

“Get lost! If there’s a next time, I’ll kick you out of the Spence family!” Marie said.

The two housekeepers picked up their brooms and scurried away sheepishly.
