The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 191

Dennis knocked on the table and said, “Marie is too young to graduate from college”

Gavin smiled. “What’s wrong with that? Isn’t she still pretty? When you fell in love with her, she hadn’t

even

graduated from high school!”

“Get lost!” Dennis glared at Gavin.

Gavin smiled and said, “Are you satisfied? Look at how sad Andres is now. Let him go after lliana as

soon as

possible. He is so stubborn. Now, Iliana doesn’t have anyone in her heart, but she doesn’t even care

about

Andres. And that stinky boy, Darwin, is guarding Sasha eagerly. Sasha is now an international movie

star, and

she is so busy that she doesn’t have time to talk to him.”

Dennis glanced up at him and said, “So? it’s none of my business.”

Gavin laughed. “If you don’t marry her, I think you’re not far from getting into trouble!”

“What do you mean?’ Dennis looked at him coldly

Gavin shrank his neck and said, “Isn’t it obvious? Noel is not Marie’s brother at all, but he has been

controlling Spence Group for so many years. Does he really not know it? Anyway, that kind of person

must

have a few tricks up his sleeve if he says he really doesn’t know anything, I won’t believe it anyway. If

he

knows that he is not related to Marie by blood, and he still wants to take care of her, that’s love!”

Dennis threw the document in his hand at Gavin and cursed, “Bullshit!”

Gavin threw the document onto the table and said, “What’s the point of telling me this? Noel is at the

hospital anyway. Although he’s hospitalized now, he will be discharged one day, right? Imagine you

propose and get married after three years, have two to three babies in five years, and one day, the wife

you’ve been staring at for so many years is snatched away… Let’s see if you don’t cry!”

Dennis looked at Gavin coldly and said, “He wouldn’t dare!”

Gavin was intimidated by his cold gaze. ‘Don’t scare me. I’m not trying to snatch her away from you. If

you think Marie is too young, then get engaged first! And give Old Mr. Spence peace of mind.”

Dennis wondered. Gavin is right. Sooner or later, he will marry Marie. It’s not a big deal to get engaged

first.

Not to mention that it can make Old Mr. Spence happy, and it can also make Dennis feel at ease. Why

not?

“Gavin, let’s go!” Dennis got up to put on his coat.

“Where are you going?” Gavin looked at him in a daze.

“Buying a diamond ring for the proposal.” Dennis threw his jacket onto Gavin’s face and opened the

door to

leave.

Gavin immediately chased after him. “Hey! Dennis, what time is it? Why are you going? What’s wrong

with you two? It’s always raining!”

Dennis drove all the way to Whitney Shopping Mall. The jewelry business of the Whitney family was

huge, and all kinds of jewelry were made with top workmanship.

As soon as the manager saw Dennis, he brought the latter and Gavin into the VIP room in fear and

asked

with a smile, “Mr. Whitney, are you here for an inspection today, or…”

Gavin smiled and said, ‘Do you think your CEO has nothing better to do? What is there to do in the

store?”

The manager was so scared that his sweat was about to drip. He said, “Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Whitney,

time is

precious. Is there anything I can do for you today?”

He really didn’t dare to ask Dennis if he was there to see jewelry, and he didn’t dare to inquire about

the CEO’s

private affairs.

Dennis sat on the sofa with great honor and said, “Did you get a new batch of diamonds last month?

Bring it

to me.”

The manager immediately ran out and walked in five minutes later with the tray. There were several

brocade

boxes on the tray, inside which were diamonds with larger particles and better colors. The rest of the

smaller

ones were placed on the flannel of the tray, dazzling under the light.

The manager placed the tray on the table and said, “Look, Mr. Whitney. These are all the recent raw

diamonds. I’ll have someone work on them for you once you choose the style. I wonder if you want to

make a

necklace or a ring…”

‘Ring ” Dennis looked at the diamonds on the tray.

The manager gulped and said, ‘Is that ring for a gift, or…”

“Marriage proposal. Dennis didn’t even raise his head, still looking carefully at the diamonds.

The manager was at a loss for words. The CEO is getting engaged?

When the whole of New York thought that Dennis was a highly eligible bachelor, he didn’t expect that

he

would want to get married!

The manager immediately guided him enthusiastically. “Mr. Whitney, if it’s a proposal diamond ring, you

should choose a bigger one to show your identity”

Dennis looked at the diamonds on the tray. They were all large and flashy. He frowned, and the

manager was too scared to speak, not knowing that what he had just said was wrong.

Gavin sat next to him and knew that Dennis was dissatisfied when he saw that expression. He glanced

at the

manager and said, “Is Dennis the same as ordinary people? You show him these goods that you did

not

mention to him. I don’t even like them!”

The manager was a little embarrassed and said, “Mr. Hart, these are already the best diamonds in our

store…

If you’re not in a hurry, I can transfer it elsewhere.”

Dennis threw the diamond in his hand into the tray and asked, “Is there another pink diamond?”

The manager froze for a moment and nodded. “Yes! I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it,

but

pink diamonds are generally used to make necklaces and bracelets, and engagement rings are usually

made of such raw diamonds. It’s a bit wasteful to have pink diamonds make a diamond ring.”

Dennis shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. Go get the pink diamond.”

The manager immediately went to get it, regardless of whether it was wasteful or not. Anyway, it was

all

Dennis’ stuff. If he were willing, he could take it to play marbles.

The manager went over to Dennis with the pink diamond in his hand. The diamond was not big, and

the pink

color with exquisite quality was very dazzling.

What was more – Marie already had a pink diamond necklace and bracelet. It would be great if the ring

were

pink.

Dennis immediately made up his mind and said, “Take this one to the chief designer and tell him to

make it

as soon as possible in half a month.”

The manager immediately agreed and carefully put the diamond away before sending Dennis out of

the

store.

Back in the car, Dennis felt that it was so unbelievable for him to actually ask to get married all of a

sudden. What if that girl, Marie, was not ready? Wouldn’t it be a little awkward if she refused?

Gavin, who was nestled in the car, smacked his lips and said, ‘It’s too extravagant. I think that manager

is

distressed…”

Dennis ignored him, started the car, and left.

While Dennis was busy proposing, Clayton’s investigation was still being accelerated, and Marie was

completely on vacation. She planned to stay at home with Asher all the time, and the brand work was

completely handed over to Iliana. She heard that Andres had something to do then, so he insisted on

helping,

and there was no need for her to worry about anything.

Sasha had completely established her status as an A-list actress and even an international movie star.

She was so busy every day that she flew around the world, no one knew how’s going on between her

and Darwin.

Marie was fine then, Occasionally, she chatted with Aubree, and the rest of the time was spent talking,

eating, and strolling with Asher.

On New Year’s Eve, Mason was on a business trip this year and didn’t come over for dinner. Olive was

busy

with Nataly, and she didn’t come back. Mia must be in the hospital with Noel. Marie didn’t tell Asher

about

Noel’s car accident, for fear that he would collapse in an instant.

Therefore, that New Year’s Eve dinner only had Marie and Asher, plus Edward, Jolie, and Luca. They

were also

lively, not as noisy as in previous years, and they were all happy.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Marie didn’t let Asher stay up, so she asked him to go back early to

rest, and

then Luca sent her to Glorious Estate.

Dennis didn’t return to the Whitney residence on New Year’s Day every year, so she went to spend

New Year’s

Day with him every year.

By the time they arrived at Glorious Estate, Dennis had already prepared the ravioli. After that, Marie

accompanied him to make the ravioli and had another meal, which made her unable to walk.

Get Bonus

In the evening, she had a drink with Dennis, who glanced at her meaningfully’ and asked, “Is Old Mr.

Spence okay?”

Marie nodded. “He’s good. he ate a lot at the New Year’s Eve dinner!”

Dennis nodded and said, “I’m going to visit Old Mr. Spence tomorrow. I’m leaving the country in a

couple of

days.”

Stunned, Marie asked, “Going abroad? Is it about Clayton?”

Dennis shook his head. “No. I’m on a business trip. I’ll be back soon.”

Marie nodded and didn’t say anything. Dennis often went abroad, and she should get used to it.

After staying up late into the night, she was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes. Dennis carried

her

back to the bedroom and fell asleep.
