Dennis looked at the girl sleeping in his arms, sighed, and he knew that she was waiting for his
answer.
The car smoothly entered the parking lot of Glorious Estate. Cullen opened the car door, and Dennis
carried the sleeping Marie back home.
He placed Marie on the bed, leaned down to kiss her forehead, closed the bedroom door, and left the
room.
Walking into the study, he opened the safe, took out a thick stack of documents, along with the laptop,
and moved them all to the living room.
Cullen hesitated and asked, “Mr. Whitney, should we really tell Ms. Spence?”
Dennis nodded, “If I decided on her, she would have to know sooner or later.”
“But Mr. Philemon…” Cullen was somewhat worried about Clayton’s reaction.
“Don’t tell him for now,” Dennis instructed.
Cullen nodded and helped Dennis organize the files in the living room.
When Marie woke up, it was already 11 o’clock. She was awakened by hunger and looked around to
find herself in the bedroom of Glorious Estate. Without asking, she knew that Dennis must have
carried her back.
When she used to be an assassin, she would wake up if someone approached her within 33 feet. But
now, sleeping next to Dennis, she slept like a log.
Marie went to the bathroom and washed her face, then walked out of the room. Dennis and Cullen
were sitting in the living room with a pile of documents in front of them.
“You’re awake? Are you hungry?” Dennis looked up at her. “You’re awake? Are you hungry?”
Marie nodded, “Yes, is there anything to
to cat?”
“No, what do you want to eat? I’ll take you out to eat,” Dennis said.
“No need to go through all t
order takeout!”
Marie yawned, glanced at her watch, and said, “Let’s just
She plopped down on the couch, took out her phone to browse through food delivery options, and
asked, “Have you all eaten?”
Dennis shook his head, “Not yet.”
“Then I’ll order more, and Cullen can eat with us here!” Marie said.
Cullen nodded, and after Marie finished ordering takeout, she looked at the large pile of documents on
the table and asked, “Are you all busy? Should I go back to my room?”
Dennis shook his head, organized the documents, handed them to Marie, and said, “These are for
you.”
Marie was taken aback, “So much? What’s it for? Is Whitney Group going bankrupt?”
Dennis was bereft of speech.
Cullen was rendered speechless.
“I’m just joking. What is this?” Marie opened a file, and two words were written on it: [Plan King-]
“The initial concept and later development of Plan King,” Dennis said.
Marie flipped through, looking confused, “What is Plan King?”
“It’s a long story, but basically it was a plan to cultivate special elites, forming a unique team to carry
out special missions,” Dennis explained briefly.
Marie was taken aback, turned her head, and looked at Dennis incredulously, “You guys were training
assassins?”
Dennis was stunned too; he couldn’t understand why Marie would think that way.
“Not assassins, but rather a team specifically targeting drug trafficking and firearms trafficking.
Clayton’s family had extensive involvement in foreign military and political fields, and the Philemon
family was essentially the driving force behind this plan. Born into such a family, Clayton had to bear
this responsibility,” Dennis said.
“And what about you? What kind of role did you play in it?”
Marie flipped through the documents, which included the preliminary ideas for Plan King,
personnel selection and training, as well as task execution, and so on.
Dennis placed the materials on the table, pushed them towards Marie, and said, “I co-founded King
Organization with Clayton, and I’m a partner. Or rather, like Clayton, I was one of the first-generation
King Organization’s trainees.”
The information clearly stated that Dennis had received military training abroad. He was not only an
instructor for the organization, but also one of its co-founders.
It was no wonder that his skills were so good that when Marie fought with him, she had no chance of
fighting back.
Why did you participate in such a plan?” Marie asked.
She knew how much effort it took to become a top trainee like Dennis, and how much grueling
training was required to become a top assassin.

Dennis laughed and said, “Years ago, the infighting within the Whitney family was quite severe. I was
the illegitimate son who couldn’t be acknowledged publicly. I had no means to take over the
Whitney Group, nor could I win against my ruthless siblings.”
“Then the shoot-out at the Witton Manor last time…” Marie suddenly remembered the previous
incident.
Dennis glanced at Cullen, who immediately pulled out some materials and handed it to Marie. “Last
time, it was Mr. Philemon and his team who tracked down the drug trafficking organization’s ringleader,
Landon, at the mansion. He was probably dealing with some big shot. We were there to arrest him. Ms.
Spence, we’re not bad people…”
Th
Cullen was very scared that Marie would change her opinion of Dennis. After all, she was just a twenty-
year-old little girl.
“On the New Year’s Eve, the Rhode Island shoot-out…” Marie just wanted to know if Dennis was using
her.
Dennis turned to look at her, and Marie’s gaze was very focused. When she stared at Dennis, there
was even a hint of nervousness.
The atmosphere in the living room was extremely quiet, to the point where the sound of cars.
outside the window could be heard so clearly.
After a while, Dennis finally said, “When I took you to Rhode Island to set off fireworks, I didn’t know
that Clayton’s people were there to pick up goods.”
Marie smiled with relief, that was enough, as long as Dennis wasn’t using her, it was enough.
In the end, all she wanted was this person’s sincerity, without deception or exploitation.
She didn’t want him to be like Seth, who gave her beautiful illusions, only to shatter them later.
Marie’s tense body suddenly relaxed, and she leaned on the couch, flipping through the messy
documents, asking, “So, over the years, besides managing the Spence Group, did you also frequently
carry out missions with Clayton?”
Dennis shook his head, “Only occasionally. Back then, with the help of King Organization, I stabilized
Whitney Group. In recent years, I’ve been busy with many matters related to Whitney
Group.”
Cullen added, “But King Organization still really needed Mr. Whitney!”
Marie raised her eyebrows at Dennis and asked does that mean?”
Dennis smiled helplessly and said, “The expenses for carrying out the mission were too high,

Clayton wanted to live less frugally, so I had to allocate some money to him every year.”
Marie was surprised, “So, it’s like you’re running the organization now? Are you the boss then?”
Dennis, feeling helpless, tapped her forehead and said, “What boss? I just provide them financial
support.”
Marie rubbed her forehead and muttered, “Isn’t that the boss…”
Cullen approached Marie with a mischievous grin and whispered, “Ms. Spence, do you think Mr.
Whitney is really cool now?”
Marie nodded, “Yeah, he was pretty cool.”
Marie went closer again and asked Cullen, “So, did you guys misappropriate something?”
Cullen answered, “Ms. Spence, this is a formal organization, misappropriation would be dealt with by
military law, of course it was handed over.”
Marie frowned and asked, “How could such a formal organization help Dennis in business?”
Cullen laughed and said, “Well, there’s still the intelligence network! Besides, Mr. Philemon is Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
basically in charge of the organization, so it’s okay to use some resources for personal matters.”
Marie nodded and asked, “Can I go take a look?”
“No way!” Dennis and Cullen immediately objected.
“Why?” Marie asked with a tearful face.
“It’s a secret organization, and letting you in would not be good for you,” Dennis said.
“Alright, alright…” Marie waved her hand, suddenly thought of something, and asked, “How do you
select your members?”
“Most of them were elites discovered by Clayton, and some were picked up halfway and trained by
ourselves,” Dennis said.
Marie nodded, without saying a word.
She wondered if she came clean with Dennis in the end, would he allow Emory and Kate to join.
This way, they didn’t have to worry about the Rodger Group’s people chasing after them, and they
didn’t have to worry about having nowhere to go.
She thought the idea was good and looked for an opportunity to discuss it with Emory and the others.
Marie seemed to have fully absorbed all the information, leaning on the couch and flipping through the
materials until the doorbell rang. Cullen went to open the door and pick up the takeout, and only
then did Dennis drag Marie to the dining hall to have their meal.
Marie, with her head down, was eating pasta and asked, “So, does Clayton dislike me so much
because he thinks I’m a spy?”
Cullen nodded, took a sip of water, and said, “Yeah, Mr. Philemon was really hostile towards anyone
who might hurt Mr. Whitney. Can’t blame him, though. Ms. Spence, you were indeed
outstanding.”
Marie shook her head helplessly, “Ah! Is it my fault for being too outstanding?”
“No, no, no…” Cullen shook his fork and said, “It’s mainly because your relationship with Mr. Whitney
developed too quickly. Mr. Philemon might think you gave Mr. Whitney some
hallucinogenic drug.”
Marie was speechless.
Dennis glanced at her and said, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. I think our progress is not fast at all, it’s
too slow. Should we speed it up?”
Cullen couldn’t hold back his laughter and almost spat out his food. Mr. Whitney’s thick-skinned skill
increased quite a bit in front of Ms. Spence!
“Go to hell!” Marie glared at Dennis and lowered her head to eat her pasta.
Cullen gloatingly lowered his head to have his meal. Mr. Whitney has always been hard to beat, but
when facing Ms. Spence, he repeatedly runs into a brick wall. It really seems that everyone has a
weakness.
After eating pasta, Cullen cleaned up the kitchen and left, while Dennis went to drive Marie home.
On the way, Marie was in a great mood. Abruptly, she found out about Dennis’ little secret, and it
seemed like she got a bit closer to Dennis.
Suddenly recalling Dennis’ injury at Witton Manor last time, Marie turned to look at him and asked,
“Dennis, will you stay with King Organization forever?”
The car stopped in front of Cloudy Villa. Dennis looked into Marie’s clear eyes, as if he could
completely see through her inner thoughts. He reached out, pulled Marie into his embrace, and said,
“Yes, it’s another home I can’t bear to part with.”
Marle was somewhat disappointed as she got out of the car. Dennis walked her to the door, held her,
and said, “But I will gradually step back and won’t get hurt anymore.”
Marie looked up and met his reassuring gaze, nodded, and turned around to return to the mansion.
Her biggest concern was that the fierce battles and life-and-death situations she had experienced over
the years would happen to Dennis. As long as he promised not to get hurt, that would be
enough.
Everything else, no matter who he was or what he did, was not important.
