Chapter 11 The People of Rodger Group
As the two of them were enjoying their meal, Dennis’s phone rang. Apologizing, he picked up the call.
Marie could faintly hear something about Terry Group being mentioned on the other end of the
line.
She immediately focused and listened carefully. Dennis didn’t seem to mind her hearing what was
being said, and he spoke into the phone, “Have our people pull back. I’m heading back now.”
Dennis hung up the phone, and Marie asked tentatively, “Are you working with Terry Group?”
Dennis glanced at her and nodded. Marie then asked, “Is it the Terry Group from France?”
Dennis laughed, “Little girl, you even know about France’s Terry Group?”
“I’m an adult now, and I’m going to university soon. I’m not a kid anymore,” Marie retorted.
“Focus on these things once you’re in university. I have some work to do, so I need to head back to
the office. I’ll treat you to seafood spaghetti some other day.” Dennis stood up, ready to leave.
Marie became anxious. This was the first time she had come close to any news about Terry Group
since her rebirth. She needed to find a way to learn more, so she blurted out, “Can I visit your
company?”
Only then did Dennis focus his attention on her and said, “Let’s go.”
Marie immediately followed, and when Cullen drove over to pick up Dennis, he saw Marie climbing into
the back seat with him. He felt a bit bewildered, wondering if Mr. Whitney had taken a liking to
someone underage.
Cullen looked on in surprise for quite a while, until Dennis gave him a cold glance. Immediately, Cullen
stepped on the gas.
It wasn’t until they were in the hotel elevator that Marie felt bewildered. Weren’t they supposed to be
discussing work? How did they end up driving to a hotel?
Dennis glanced at her and said, “I never said I was going to the office.” Then he walked into the
room.
Marie stood at the entrance, her hair tousled by the wind. She now understood the look in Dennis’
eyes when she had suggested visiting this place. At this moment, she was unsure whether to step
inside or turn back.
Cullen explained, “Las Vegas is just a branch office, so Mr. Whitney doesn’t have to go there every day.
The Whitney Group’s matters are all handled at the hotel. If Ms. Spence doesn’t want to stay here, I
can take you back.”
Just a step away from Terry Group’s message, Marie gritted her teeth and entered the hotel..
Get Bortas
This is Dennis’ exclusive hotel suite, featuring a two-bedroom and one-living room layout. Dennis sits
on the couch in the living room, opening his laptop. He glances at Marie and says, “Feel free to
look around.”
Marie casually strolled around the room, noticing that Dennis seemed to treat this place as a
temporary stopover. There were no personal belongings of his, only the hotel’s decorations.
As she pretended to look around, she listened intently to Cullen’s report: “Mr. Whitney, our people were
discovered as soon as they crossed the border into France. The other party doesn’t seem to be from
the Terry Group, but rather a mercenary force. We couldn’t find where the goods were hidden. Please
punish me, Mr. Whitney!”
Dennis asked, “What’s the situation with casualties?”
“Two dead, three injured,” Cullen said.
Dennis lit a cigarette, angrily throwing the file on the ground. The loud noise startled Marie, making her
shudder.
A couple of photos slid out and glided along the smooth floor, stopping at Marie’s feet. She bent down
to pick them up and clearly saw the images on them.
It seems that the photo was taken by Dennis during his investigation. It shows a dock with shipping
containers piled up everywhere, and several dock workers can be seen in the frame,
There wasn’t any substantial information, so Cullen said he couldn’t find out where that batch of
goods was located.
However, Marie knew that no matter what goods Dennis and his team were looking for, they were right
here at this dock.
Among those inconspicuous workers, Marie spotted a familiar face. The man wearing a worn-out work
uniform, only showing a side profile, was Emory one of the people she had helped promote.
According to Emory’s level, he shouldn’t be in a place like this.
Marie walked over to Dennis and placed the photo on the table, asking, “What are you guys looking
for?”
Dennis glanced at her and said, “Little girl, don’t ask so many questions.”
“Dennis, I’m not a kid anymore, just talk to me,” Marie said. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Mr. Whitney…” Cullen tried to stop him, knowing that such secrets shouldn’t be shared with outsiders.
“It’s nothing, just that a shipment I ordered earlier was hijacked in the Caribbean. I’ll find it,”
Dennis said.
Caribbean! Rose knew their previous activities all too well!
It’s someone from Rodger Group!
The Terry Group used people from Rodger Group to rob Dennis’s belongings in the Caribbean!
“What would happen if we find the person intercepting the goods?” Marie asked.
“Ms. Marie, stealing from Mr. Whitney comes with a price,” Cullen said.
Although she already had the answer in her heart, hearing Cullen say it out loud, Marie couldn’t
help but clench her fists. As soon as Dennis found that batch of goods, he would immediately take care
of the people who intercepted them!
Among those people, there was Emory!
