Chapter 117

Dennis looked up, “Hmm?”

“Would Mia cheat on my dad?” Marie asked, biting her fork and grinning.

Dennis looked at her helplessly, “Your dad was cheated on, and you seem quite happy about it?”

Marie nodded, “Of course I’d be happy. If that were really the case, I wouldn’t have to bother. My dad

would kick her out of the house himself.”

Dennis glanced at her helplessly, “What do you want to do?”

Marie looked at Dennis with a mischievous grin and said, “I know Cullen has quite a few people under

him. Can you ask him to lend me a couple to investigate Mia?”

Dennis sighed and said, “Just two of them, Cullen didn’t raise these people to be paparazzi.”

Marie nodded and submissively served food to Dennis.

Regardless of whether we could find anything, we should at least try searching first. Who knows, we

might actually find some clues or traces that could help drive Mia away!

Marie had been busy for two days with Zane’s concert, while Shirley once again went to the production

team to cause trouble.

When the assistant called Marie and said that Sasha was also injured, Marie immediately rushed over.

Sasha was sitting in her seat, and Marie ran up to her and asked, “Are you okay? Where are you

hurt?”

Sasha shook her head and said, “It’s fine. When Shirley pushed Sabrina, she accidentally knocked me

down too, and I just hit my head a little. It’s nothing serious.”

Marie examined the injury, and Sasha’s forehead was red and swollen, with some blood seeping out. It

did indeed look like just a superficial wound, and the assistant said that a doctor had already been

called to come and bandage it.

But Sasha was an actor, and their livelihood depended on their appearance. Marie was a bit angry, so

she went to find the director and asked, “What is Shirley doing? Why is she repeatedly causing trouble

for the production team?”

The director waved his hand helplessly and said, “So it’s just that Sabrina took her resources, and now

she has no job and won’t let Sabrina work properly.”

Marie turned to look at Shirley, who was still ranting and raving. “Sabrina, do you think I can’t deal with

you? You dare to steal my things, just you wait and see!”

Sabrina stood up and said, “I didn’t steal anything! It was clearly because someone exposed your

indiscreet private life that Ms. Josepy didn’t arrange any work for you and asked you to stay quiet

for a while!”

“Bitch! Who are you calling unrestrained? When was it your turn to criticize?”

Shirley got angry and rushed over to slap Sabrina, but Marie stopped her.

Upon seeing it was Marie, Shirley laughed and said, “Is it you?

Marie looked at her coldly. “It’s been a long time, Shirley. You’ve changed a lot, not like when you

were bullied by Olive and didn’t dare to speak.”

Shirley awkwardly hid her smile and snorted, “I just didn’t bother arguing with your shrewish sister. Do

you really think I’m afraid of her?”

“Since you’re not afraid, go settle the score with her. It was Olive who exposed your private life, not

Sabrina. Why bother flaunting your power here?” Marie said.

Shirley glanced at Marie, then at Sabrina, and covered her mouth as she laughed, “Oh, Sabrina, I didn’t

see that coming. You’ve latched onto Marie so quickly? What happened? Aren’t you into KBK

anymore? Are you planning to switch sides?”

Sabrina nervously rubbed her hands and said, “No, I didn’t……..’

In the entertainment industry, being half-hearted towards an entertainment company was a big

taboo. One could easily be cast aside by the company When Shirley said this, Sabrina didn’t dare to

admit it.

Originally, Darwin didn’t have any scenes today, but he came over when he heard that Sasha was

injured. When he arrived, he saw a group of people arguing in front of him. Sasha was lying on the

table, listless, with a bruise on her forehead.

Marie looked at Shirley and said, “I’m not interested in getting involved in your KBK disputes. If you

can’t accept it, settle it privately. Don’t cause trouble in the production team and affect the filming

progress. Moreover, you’ve hurt someone close to me.”

Shirley glanced at Sasha and said, “It was just a little bump, right? Was it really that big of a deal?”

Marie raised the corner of her mouth, “Last time Carly didn’t hurt Sasha, did you see what

happened to her? If you didn’t, I can help you review it.”

Shirley pursed her lips, not daring to speak. She didn’t know the extent of Marie’s capabilities, but up

until now, she had never seen Marie at a loss.

Since she met Marie, Marie had embarrassed Olive, caused her to lose endorsements, helped Sophia

Bradley make a successful comeback, promoted Sasha and Zane, saved Darwin, and even managed

to kick Carly and Dereon out of the entertainment industry forever.

Shirley turned to Sabrina and sneered, “You like to steal, don’t you? Just wait!”

Sabrina sobbed and said, “What’s the big deal! It’s just having a backer!”

Shirley laughed, “I do have a backer, what can you do about it?”

Darwin pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, hands in his pockets and looking at her sideways,

“Who is your backer? Daring to cause trouble? I bet you don’t want to be in the entertainment industry

anymore.”

Darwin was very angry, for no apparent reason, when he saw the swollen wound on Sasha’s

forehead and the streaks of blood oozing out.

Shirley was taken aback, as Darwin was a notorious tyrant in the entertainment industry, someone

you wouldn’t want to mess with.

Shirley awkwardly laughed but before she could speak, they heard Sasha’s assistant calling out. Marie

and the others rushed over to find Sasha lying unconscious on the ground.

Darwin crouched down to check on Sasha and shouted, “What are you looking at? Call an

ambulance!”

He picked up Sasha and ran outside, with Marie following behind. At this point, he couldn’t care less

about the trivial matters between Shirley and Sabrina; Sasha was the most important.

After the ambulance arrived, Darwin and Marie followed it to the hospital. The doctor took Sasha

for a CT scan, and the two of them could only wait outside.

After waiting for half an hour, the doctor finally came out. Darwin rushed over and asked, “How is she?

Is she alright:

The doctor removed his mask and said, “Don’t worry, the patient just hit their head, there’s bleeding in

the subcutaneous tissue, and a mild concussion. They should wake up soon.”

Marie asked nervously, “Does she need to be hospitalized? Is there anything else we should be

aware of?”

The doctor nodded and said, “It would be best to be hospitalized for a week, after all, she injured

her head. Alternatively, she could go home to rest after the examination results come out. When

she wakes up, she might feel dizzy and nauseous, which are normal symptoms of a concussion.

There’s no need to panic, but she shouldn’t engage in any strenuous activities in the near future. It’s

best for her to stay in bed and rest.”

Sasha was sent to the hospital room, while Zane called her to discuss the concert guest matter. Marie

had to leave first, and Darwin went to the hospital room alone.

Sasha lay quietly in the hospital bed. She didn’t look masculine at all; in fact, she was quite beautiful

and had a strong, elegant appearance. Unlike the common plastic faces found in the entertainment

industry, she had a unique look.

Usually, she would constantly bicker and make a fuss with Darwin, and Darwin didn’t know when he

had gotten used to Sasha’s tantrums and outbursts. Now, as she suddenly lay there, unusually quiet,

Darwin actually felt a bit uneasy.

He stayed in the hospital room all afternoon. In the evening, when Sasha finally woke up and saw

Darwin, she asked, “Where are we?”

Darwin rubbed his eyes and gave her a glare, “In the hospital! You were mistakenly injured and sent to

the hospital!”

Sasha covered her head as she sat up, rubbed her stomach, and asked, “Is there any food? I’m so

hungry.”

Darwin rolled his eyes again, “Eat, eat, eat! That’s all you know! Just wait!”

He stood up and went out to buy dinner for Sasha while checking the news. Sasha’s hospitalization

had already been leaked. In principle, this kind of thing should have been kept confidential.

Marie also saw the news and got angry with the production team. How could they leak information

when the lead was injured and the extent of the injury was not yet confirmed?

However, from the director to the staff, no one admitted who told the journalist, but anyway, the news

just broke out like that.

Subsequently, a large number of reporters gathered at the hospital, revealing that Sasha had suffered

a concussion and might need to rest in bed for a month. It’s worth noting that filming a TV series takes

only three to four months, so if Sasha were to rest for a month, it would mean that everyone would

have to wait for her for a month, and every day would be a pointless waste.

The next day, it was unclear where the reporter got the news, but it was revealed online that Sasha’s

injury was not caused by an accident on set, but rather by a private incident.

In other words, the production team didn’t need to wait for Sasha for a month due to personal reasons,

wasting a whole month for nothing!

The news that the female lead of The Autumn Tragedy production team might be replaced started to

spread like wildfire on the internet. After all, Sasha’s concussion was real, and her need for bed rest Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

was also true.

Various major entertainment companies and media companies were eager to get involved. The Autumn

Tragedy had already gained considerable popularity due to this matter. Now, no matter who played

Sierra, it was guaranteed to make money. Even without promotion, there would be viewership ratings.

Marie approached the director and producer, and the director said with a smile, “Ms. Spence, it’s not

that I don’t want to give Sasha a chance, I really want her to act too. But Sasha needs to take a month

off, and we’ve already started filming. The funding and actors are all in place, and we really

can’t afford to wait for a month!”

The producer was quite blunt, saying, “When an actor gets injured, especially on the face, even if they

recover, the wound on their head won’t disappear quickly. We can’t risk the show failing just to wait for

Sasha to perform, can we?”

Marie laughed, “At that time, it wasn’t me begging you two to give Sasha a chance. You both

thought Sasha was suitable and signed the contract with me. Now that Sasha is injured, you want to

kick her out?”

If it weren’t for Shirley, would Sasha have been injured? Why didn’t the production team reveal that

Shirley’s disturbance led to Sasha’s injury?

The director said helplessly, “We know that Shirley has a backer, but this is really…”

“Shirley has a backer? Ha! Comparing backers, huh? Fine, I’ll let you two see what a real backer is!

Don’t come begging me later!” Marie picked up her bag and left.

The director and producer didn’t pay attention to her either. Marie couldn’t possibly have a backer. She

was nothing more than an unloved servant girl in the Spence family. How could she possibly rise up in

rebellion?
