Chapter 51 Let Me Hold You For A While

Ciet Bo

As Marie said, Carly was completely overshadowed by her since she returned to school.

Many people even made posts on the school forums, strongly calling on the students of Las Vegas

High School to choose a new school babe. Carly was completely ignored.

In addition, she had been in first place in several mock exams, but Carly’s grades had plummeted.

Many boys even regarded Marie as a top student and openly confessed their love to her.

When Carly returned home, she lost her temper and smashed things. Mia couldn’t coax her at all, and

she gradually lost her patience with Carly.

Now that Old Mr. Pierce treated Marie like a precious treasure, and with the driver driving her to

and from work every day, Carly was always restricted and couldn’t trouble her at all.

She spent her free time at the Estate every day, waiting for the end of the SAT to go to New York to

visit Dennis.

Lying on the bed, she rummaged through the information about KBK in boredom.

With the support of KBK which would make her a high profile star and the powerful Spence family,

people in the entertainment industry would show respect to her, and she could get the best

resources.

Looking at the photo of Olive, Marie smacked her lips. She was indeed quite good-looking. Olive had

inherited the excellent genes of Mia and Mason, and she was much more good-looking than

Carly.

Just then, Marie’s phone rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Dennis.

When Dennis returned to New York, he only called Marie a few times occasionally. He didn’t call her,

nor did she call him. Sometimes, he only sent few words on Telegram, then he disappeared. It seemed

that he was very busy every day.

“Hello?” Marie picked up the phone.

“Marie.” Dennis sounded pleasantly.

“Dennis, talk properly.” Marie trembled.

“When did I not talk properly?” Dennis smiled.

“Why are you being so cheesy?” asked she.

“Because I’m special,” Dennis said.

“What’s so special about you?” She smiled at him.

“In your heart, I am more special,” Dennis said.

“Bullshit!” she roared.

On the other end of the phone, Cullen trembled as he listened to her roar. It turned out that the

president liked this kind of women.

“Marie, don’t swear.” Dennis coaxed her good-naturedly.

“I just cursed. Come bite me!” she said smugly.

Dennis replied, “Okay.”

Marie was speechless.

Suddenly remembering that day when she was pressed against the door and kissed on the lips,

Marie blushed.

You idiot!

“Marie, there are ten days left for the SAT,” Dennis said.

“I know. I’ll get into Yale University,” said Marie helplessly.

She had said it many times, but Old Mr. Pierce just didn’t believe it.

“I mean, focus on your studies,” Dennis said.

“Huh?” She didn’t understand why Dennis was talking about this.

“Once again, if the classroom was full of balloons and roses professing to you, I would tear down. the

whole school building.” Dennis explained patiently to her.

Marie could not say a word.

A few days ago, she didn’t know which classes they were. A few boys filled the class with balloons

and roses, only without a banner to profess their love for her. But Marie refused outright and

almost forgot about it. She didn’t expect Dennis to know about it.

“That’s why you called?” Marie was helpless.

“No, I miss you.” Dennis said.

“Talk properly,” said she.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. After a long silence, the man’s magnetic voice

sounded again, “I’m talking properly. I miss you very much, Marie.”

Her face was burning. She hung up the phone with a click, threw the phone on the sofa, lowered her

head, and couldn’t look at the document in her hand anymore.

Let Me Hold You For A While

Dennis looked at the phone that was hung up and smiled.

Cullen complained helplessly, “President, won’t you scare Ms. Spence away by doing this?”

Dennis glanced at him, “You know girls very well?”

Cullen immediately shook his head, “No!”

Ten days later, the SAT was finally there.

For her, high school questions were a piece of cake. She finished answering the papers early and

left the examination room.

After the SAT results were released, she ranked first with absolute advantage.

Carly was so angry that she smashed everything in the room in the villa. Why? Why did Marie get the

first place?

Now the whole of Las Vegas knew that there was a beautiful and smart Ms. Spence, the third daughter,

in the Spence family who had become the top scorer of the SAT.

And Carly was nothing!

Old Mr. Pierce was so happy that he wanted to hold a banquet to send thanks to Marie’s teachers.

Marie pouted her lips. Her first place in the exam had nothing to do with the teachers, okay? Should

she thank those devil instructors of the Rodger Group?

In the end, Old Mr. Pierce dispelled the idea after being dissuaded by Marie. But the next day,

Edward sent her the equity transfer letter.

It clearly stated that 5% of the shares under Old Mr. Pierce’s name were transferred to Marie. Every

day, she was thinking about how to get the shares and take over the Spence family.

But when these were delivered to her, she suddenly remembered that old man said to her earnestly,

“When I am old and gone in the future, you can still have dividends if you hold the shares, so you

won’t be bullied by them.”

In her previous life, she didn’t know what family love was, but now she seemed to suddenly

understand.

With tears in her eyes, she signed it. Edward gave her a share transfer agreement and said, “Ms.

Spence, you must keep it. If they know that Old Mr. Pierce gave you shares, I don’t know what would

happen.”

Marie nodded. “Don’t worry, Edward. I’ll keep it safe.”

Las Vegas High School had been bustling for many days, promoting that Marie was the top scorer of

the SAT, but apart from that, it seemed that high school life had ended like this.

She didn’t call Dennis, and he seemed to have forgotten to call her and ask if her grades were good.

She was a little upset.

Like many other students, Marie completely let herself go this holiday. She greeted Old Mr. Pierce.

and didn’t eat at home in the evening.

She drove to the western suburbs mansion. She had agreed Emory to celebrate with them after the

SAT.

As soon as she entered the villa, the huge fireworks exploded with a “bang”, colorful ribbons fell on her

body, and three handsome faces yelled in front of her, “Surprise!”

She was speechless.

Luca rushed over and pulled her into the villa. “Marie, look at the surprise we prepared for you. You

will definitely like it!”

Marie was dragged all the way into the dining room. Looking at the plates on the table, she couldn’t tell

what they were. She asked, “Is the graduation gift you gave me… poison?”

Emory stood behind him and said helplessly, “I can’t make it. It’s really not possible to cook, there

aren’t so many seasonings. But It’s okay to roast meat in the forest.”

Marie asked, “So, what are we eating tonight?”

None of the assassins knew how to cook properly.

Left with no choice, Marie could only order takeout to be delivered. The four of them sat in the dining

room and celebrated her graduation with takeout.

With the fried chicken in her mouth, she asked, “Were your IDs done?”

Luca took a sip of his beer and said, “It’s done. Kate is a top hacker. It’s no problem for her to hack into

the system and create an ID for me.”

Stunned, Marie asked, “Only you with an ID? What about the others?”

Emory wiped his hands and said, “We’ve discussed it. Kate and I had too many enemies before, and

staying here is a threat to you. Besides, we still have things to do, so we can’t stay for the time

being.”

Marie was silent. She thought that Emory and the others would follow her all the time, but she didn’t

expect that they would separate again when they just got together.

Kate smiled and said, “Don’t be sad. You can always contact us. We’re just going to do something, and

we’ll be back when the time is right.”

“When are you leaving?” Marie asked.

“Tomorrow morning, we’re going to Europe to find out more about the Terry family,” Emory said.

With a bitter smile, Marie raised her beer. “Have a safe trip!”

After a full meal, Emory and Kate went to pack their things. After washing up, Marie returned to the

Estate and lay on the bed in a depressed mood.

When the phone rang, Marie picked it up and heard the familiar voice of a man coming from the other Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

end of the line. With her nose sore, she said, “Hello?”

“Marie, congratulations,” Dennis said.

“Congratulations for what?” Marie said sourly.
