The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 94

Without any hesitation, Marie ran out of the restaurant and, pulling Dennis, said, “Let’s go.”

Dennis nodded and followed her to the parking lot.

Wren grabbed Seth and said softly, “Seth, you’ve mistaken her for someone else.”

Seth sat down, somewhat irritated, and asked, “Where on earth is she?”

Wren gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, but his face still appeared gentle, “Seth, Rose

betrayed Rodger Group, the evidence is conclusive. Don’t investigate any further.”

Seth stared at Wren, completely disregarding his previous politeness, and asked, “Do you know

where she is?”

Wren panicked inside, but her face remained calm. “How could that be? Seth, I am your fiancée, you

have to believe me.”

Seth sneered and laughed, “Fiancée? It’s just a business marriage, you’d better recognize your ownI

status!”

Wren looked at Seth with a sense of injustice. Seth pushed his chair back, stood up, and said, “I have

something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Wren grabbed him. “Seth, you promised to have dinner with me!”

Seth pushed her away and walked out of the restaurant.

He had promised many things, and he had also promised to give Rose a bright future, but before he

could, she disappeared.

Where did the girl who grew up with him and accompanied him in battles end up?

Clayton hadn’t bothered Marie during his one-week stay in France, and Marie didn’t care. She was

busy taking care of a patient every day, engaging in a battle of wits with them, and was completely

exhausted.

When Gavin confirmed that Dennis could move freely, they all returned to New York together.

As soon as Marie got off the plane, she went to replace her lost SIM card, which she had lost during

the gunfight. She called Asher and Sasha to let them know she was safe, but she had to wait until she

returned to her home country to fully replace her phone.

As soon as the device was turned on, countless messages popped up, startling Marie.

(Ms. Spence! Something happened!]

[Ms. Spence! Where are you? There’s been a big problem with Darwin!]

Get Boris

[Marie, something happened to Darwin.]

[Marie, call me back when you get this message, I’m really worried about you.)

[Ms. Spence, please give me a call back.]

[Marie, are you managing me or not! Aren’t I your artist?]

[Marie! Were you pretending to be dead?]

[Marie… you’ve been out of touch for a week, can you please return a phone call?]

All the messages were sent by Zane, Sasha, and Darwin. The central idea was that something had

happened to Darwin.

Marie was startled and immediately called Darwin, not knowing what had happened.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up, and Darwin’s furious voice came through. “Marie! Did

you go to France or outer space? I was half-dead before you came back!”

Hearing Darwin’s frustrated yell, Marie breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Darwin was

injured or something had happened to him, as long as he was alright, that was all that mattered.

“It’s a long story, what happened to you?” Marie asked.

“It’s hard to explain in one sentence, just come to my house, Zane and Sasha are both here,”

Darwin said, sounding annoyed.

Marie hung up the phone, spoke to Dennis, and then asked Luca to pick her up and take her to

Darwin’s house.

Upon arriving at the Robert residence, the housekeeper opened the door and said, “Hello, Ms.

Spence. Mr. Darwin is in the living room.”

Marie led Luca inside, and as they entered the living room, they saw Darwin sprawled on the couch,

bruised and battered, with his arm in a sling. Sasha and Zane were sitting nearby, listening to him

complain.

Marie was taken aback. “How did you end up like this?”

Darwin said irritably, “You’re just coming back now! If you didn’t come back, I would have been

beaten to death!”

Marie still didn’t understand, “Who hit you? Who dared to hit you?”

Sasha glanced at Darwin helplessly, took out her phone, opened the entertainment news, and handed

it to Marie. “Take a look at it.”

Marie took the phone, and the bold red headline of the news read: [Popular male artist accused of

Get Bott

Indecent assault on female celebrity!]

Marie was startled. Could this popular male artist be talking about Darwin?

She opened the news, and the report inside stated that a certain popular male artist had sneaked into a Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

female celebrity’s room during the banquet on the night of the Drama Feast awards ceremony. He was

subsequently kicked out, and a blurry video was posted.

Two days later, news broke again that a certain male celebrity named Robert had a chaotic private life

and unusual preferences. He often took advantage of filming opportunities to harass female celebrities.

A censored photo was posted, showing a man wearing a baseball cap, half of his face resembling

Darwin, sitting in a pub with a cigarette in his mouth and embracing a D-list minor celebrity.

Some media outlets sought to confirm whether the male celebrity Robert in Global Medias’ news was

Darwin, but Global Medias consistently refused to respond.

Until yesterday, a clear hotel video was leaked, showing that it was indeed Darwin who entered the

room. He was still wearing his banquet suit, and was kicked out just a few minutes after entering.

The media confirmed that the female celebrity staying in that room was actually Carly Spence!

It was said that at the time, Darwin was still in the studio. When Ira found out about this, he brought his

bodyguard and went straight to the studio, where he beat up Darwin.

This incident had caused a huge uproar on the internet, and no one sympathized with Darwin. He had

become a pervy man that everyone wanted to condemn overnight.

Marie sat on the couch, tossed her phone aside, and asked, “Did you go into Carly’s room?”

“I didn’t! Why would I go into her room? Am I sick?” Darwin said irritably.

“You didn’t go in, so why are you in the video?” Marie asked, pointing at the phone.

“I did go in, but how was I supposed to know that was Carly’s room? I thought it was Sasha’s room!”

Darwin exclaimed.

“Sasha?” Marie was taken aback, “You two…”

“No, no, Marie, don’t get the wrong idea…” Sasha immediately waved her hands in denial and kicked

Darwin lightly. “Explain yourself properly, and stop being angry.”

Darwin took a deep breath, looking really angry, and said, “The banquet was held at that hotel, and the

organizers had reserved the entire floor. Almost every artists had their own room arranged. Then I

received a text from Sasha, saying that someone had broken into her room and she was hiding in the

bathroom, asking me to save her. So I ran to that room, but when I pushed the door open, I didn’t see

anyone. I went to the bathroom, and who would have thought that Carly suddenly jumped out wrapped

in a towel, calling me a jerk and kicked me out!”

Get Boett

“Couldn’t you have called to ask me? Are you a bit stupid? You just went because they told you to?”

Sasha scolded angrily.

“I was just worried about you! If it wasn’t for you, would I have gotten involved in this mess?”

Darwin said, frustrated and annoyed.

“Alright, alright, stop arguing. Things have already happened this way. Let’s hear what Ms. Spence has

to say about solving this,” Zane advised as he sat to the side.

“How else can this be resolved? I’m already ruined! What’s the big deal? At most, I’ll just quit the

entertainment industry!” Darwin appeared to be acting recklessly in despair.

Marie, feeling helpless, pointed to the second news and asked, “This one, the one in the pub, was

that you too?”

Darwin sighed deeply, “I’ve been wronged. Take a good look, will you? This isn’t me. This is clearly my

brother!”

Marie picked it up and looked at it, saying, “You two look so much alike.”

Darwin touched the wound on his face, gritting his teeth and said, “Is it my fault that I look like

him? My brother patted his butt and ran off to Europe, leaving me as his scapegoat.”

Marie, feeling helpless, said, “Fine, since neither of the two things were your doing, I’ll solve them

for you.

“You? How will you solve it? Now everyone outside thinks we’re from Global Medias.” Darwin sneered,

his face full of disdain.

Sasha raised her foot again and kicked him, saying, “Marie said it could be solved! Why so much.

nonsense!”

Darwin hugged his legs and cried out, “Do you have a conscience, woman! If it weren’t for you, would I

have gotten into this mess!”

Sasha twisted her face and didn’t speak. Marie, feeling helpless, asked, “What about the text

message? Is it still there?”

Darwin nodded. “Yeah, but would anyone believe it if we just sent out a text message? Carly has put

her own reputation on the line.”

Marie pointed at the video and asked, “This surveillance footage only shows you pushing the door open

and being kicked out. What about the parts before and after?”

Zane sat there, shaking his head. “No more, I went to the hotel to ask for the surveillance footage, but

the hotel manager said the footage was deleted and not saved.”

Marie laughed. “Deleted? Do surveillance footage videos get deleted the next day? Which hotel?”

Zane handed over the information as she said, “York Hotel, property of Hebert Group, with shares held

by Spence Group.”

Marie flipped through the information and replied, “No wonder, how could Carly possibly give you her

own stuff?”

“Alright, I’ll handle this matter. Just stay at home and don’t go out,” Marie said to Darwin.

“Why can’t I go out? I didn’t do anything wrong and have a clear conscience!” Darwin argued.

“Seems like you’re not scared of getting beaten up yet!” Sasha glared at him. “In Ira’s eyes, you’re the

one who harassed his fiancée. Aren’t you afraid of being beaten to death by Ira when you go. out?”

“Fine, let’s fight! Am I afraid of him?” Darwin argued, stretching his neck.

Marie, feeling helpless, turned to Luca and said, “For the next couple of days, stay with Darwin and

make sure he doesn’t get beaten up.”

Luca nodded and grinned at Darwin. “Don’t worry, I can take on ten Iras.”

Darwin was at a loss for words.

Marie held her forehead and said, “I mean, just don’t let him get beaten up, don’t fight, especially, don’t

hit Ira for now.”

Darwin’s eyes lit up. “What do you mean by ‘don’t hit Ira for now’? Does that mean we can hit him

later?”

“Afterwards is fine, just wait for my message…” Marie nodded. “The issue with the second photo.

will also be resolved.”

Darwin waved his hand dismissively. “Forget it, I’m a highly eligible bachelor with no wife or girlfriend.

It’s no big deal, just consider it as me being a scapegoat for my brother.”/

Marie shook her head. “No, as long as you want to continue in the entertainment industry, you can’t

have this kind of stain on you. Let Andres take the blame himself when he comes back, I’ll give him a

call.”

Darwin lay on the couch nonchalantly and said, “Fine, I’ll listen to you. Just help me deal with this Carly

situation. Every time I see our names linked together in the news, it makes me sick.”

Marie laughed. “Isn’t Carly pretty too? If this is true, you wouldn’t be at a loss.”

Darwin waved his hands frantically. “No! Absolutely not! That woman is simply a crazy woman! I don’t

have the same fate as Ira!”

Marie turned to Sasha and Zane and asked, “Have you two been here the whole time these past

couple of days?”

Get Bonus

Zane nodded and answered, “Yeah, after Darwin got into trouble, although we didn’t speak up for him,

we also didn’t clearly distance ourselves from him. We lost a few job opportunities and haven’t had

much work recently.”

Darwin glanced at him and said, “What’s wrong? Are you still complaining that I’m dragging you down?

When I was popular, so many people were fans of us as a couple!”

Sasha chuckled. “That sure is, quite a few people said Zane was the top, and you were the bottom!”

Darwin sat up from the couch and argued, “How am I the bottom? I am clearly so masculine!”

Marie was rendered speechless.

So lively and energetic, it seems there was no serious problem..
