Chapter 28 1 Am Not Marie
Upon arriving at the hotel, Dennis got out of the car and found that Marie had already fallen asleep He
had no choice but to gently pick her up. He noticed that the seemed to be much lighter than the last
time he carried her, she must have been working hard to lose weight.
Jolie had quite a bit to drink, courtesy of Marie, and was feeling a little tipsy Cullen booked another
room for Jolie to stay in and then returned to his own room. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Dennis carried Marie straight back to their room, deciding not to disturb them any further. It was best
for the two of them to spend more time together and develop their feelings for each other. Hopefully,
this would lead to Marie becoming his wife.
Dennis carried Marie back to their room, which was the same presidential suite they often stayed in,
with two bedrooms and a living room. He took Marie to the other bedroom and gently placed her on the
bed. Then, he called a female attendant to buy a set of pajamas for her to change into.
After the attendant came up, Dennis went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After the attendant changed clothes and left, Marie was awakened by the commotion. As she groggily
came to her senses, she found herself in a small, sparsely furnished room that resembled
a condominium from Rodger Group.
She was still a bit tipsy and confused. How did she end up being captured by Rodger Group again?
Marie was frightened she wasn’t ready yet. What was the purpose of returning now? Wren would just kill her again!
She hurriedly jumped out of bed, her steps slightly unsteady from the alcohol, and hastily opened the
bedroom door. She took two steps and, not paying attention, tripped over the living room carpet, falling
next to the coffee table.
Catching a glimpse of the fruit knife on the coffee table, Marie instinctively grabbed it to protect
herself
She had drunk too much, her memory a jumbled mess. She remembered just moments ago, eating
and drinking with Emory and the others. Suddenly, she recalled that Wren had already killed Jett She
needed to do something to save him now.
By the way, she must tell Seth that she’s not a traitor!
After taking a shower, Dennis, wearing a bathrobe, stepped out of the bathroom. He intended to go to
Marie’s room to check on her, but to his surprise, as soon as he left his own room, he saw Marie sitting
on the carpet with a knife in her hand
Before he could even walk over, Marie had already spotted him. She immediately stood up, ran
towards him, and grabbed his bathrobe with one hand Anxiously, she asked, “Did you find me? Was it
you who brought me back?”

He thought Marie was asking about the bar, and following her words, he nodded in agreement.
Marie laughed joyously, tightly gripping Dennis’s bathrobe, and said, “So, do you believe me now? I’m
not a traitor, I didn’t betray you!”
Marie’s expression was extremely eager, and only then did Dennis understand that the “you” she was
referring to was not him.
Marie couldn’t help but think that Dennis ignoring her meant he didn’t trust her.
“You don’t believe me? Even Emory said I’m devoted to you, why don’t you believe me?” Marie
cried out in frustration.
Dennis’s face suddenly turned cold, and he asked, “Devoted to whom?”
Marie continued to speak, her voice filled with emotion, “I’ve risked my life so many times for you, why
don’t you believe me? Why didn’t you come to save me? Do you know that everyone is dead?
Mike is dead, Jett is dead, and I’m dead too…”
Marie stood in front of him, tears streaming down her face, speaking words he couldn’t
understand, and uttering names he didn’t recognize.
Dennis was a bit annoyed, staring at Marie as he asked, “Marie, who do you risk your life for? Who
am I?”
Marie angrily shook him off and said, “I’m not Marie, I don’t want to be Marie, why do you keep calling
me that!”
Dennis asked, “If you’re not Marie, then who are you?”
Suddenly, Marie fell silent. She cautiously whispered, “I can’t say it out loud. I’m too weak right
now. I have to hide well, or else she’ll find me and kill me again.”
“Who wants to kill you?” Dennis asked.
“Your fiancée! She stabbed my leg like this…” Marie demonstrated with a fruit knife in her hand, “She
severed my tendons, she even scratched my face, and threw me into the jungle to be devoured by
wolves. Why didn’t you come to save me? It hurts so much!”
Upon hearing this, Dennis was terrified. These scenarios should not be coming from the mouth of a
young girl.
He asked again, “Marie, tell me, who wants to kill you?”
Marie pouted, looking at Dennis with a wronged expression, and said, “It hurts so much…”
“Where does it hurt?” Dennis asked.
“My heart aches, she shot me in the chest, it hurts so much…” Marie rambled on.

Dennis gently patted her head and said, “Marie, give me the knife, it’s very dangerous.”
With tears in her eyes, Maric looked at him and asked, “Will you protect me?”
Dennis nodded, “Of course.”
Marie handed the fruit knife to Dennis and then gently leaned against his chest, choking back tears
as she said, “Seth, I’m so scared.”
Dennis’s body stiffened, and his face turned cold. Huh, she was living with him, acting all sweet and affectionate, but the name she called out was someone else’s?
