The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 120

The next day, the producer, Lawrence Larson, called Marie and shamelessly begged her to have

Sasha and Darwin return to the filming.

Marie laughed and said, “Mr. Larson, it’s not that I’m not cooperating, but you said our Sasha had a

concussion and Darwin had gastrointestinal hemorrhage. How could they be discharged from the

hospital and work so soon? You should find someone else!”

Lawrence said with a smile, “Ms. Spence! Ms. Spence! Both leads are indispensable, no matter how

long it takes, the production team will wait. We’ll continue filming once they’re discharged from

the hospital!”

Marie asked, “How could this happen? Didn’t the production team want Olive to play the female

lead? And what does this have to do with our Sasha?”

“No way! Who said that? The female lead has always been Sasha’s! When Sasha is discharged from

the hospital, let Ms. Spence inform me, and we’ll start shooting immediately!” Lawrence said.

Marie laughed, “Since Mr. Larson is so sincere, I won’t refuse. Our Darwin has recovered quite well, so

there shouldn’t be any problem taking him back home. Sasha still needs to stay for a couple more days NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

before going back. Mr. Larson, you don’t have any objections, do you?”

“No, of course not! Please tell Sasha that she must fully recover before returning to work!”

Lawrence immediately said.

It wasn’t that he was being submissive; it was just that he had finally stumbled upon some good. luck

and secured an investment. However, the investor had no other demands except for insisting that

Darwin and Sasha be the actors. They were even willing to include the compensation for lost work in

the investment, so he had no choice but to agree.

It was unclear whether they were a backer of Darwin or Sasha. In any case, who would have a problem

with money? With investment, everything could be discussed.

The next day, the production team of The Autumn Tragedy officially announced that the lead cast would

remain unchanged, with Sasha and Darwin still playing the male and female leads.

However, the production team still kept Shirley’s role, after all, Olive Entertainment did invest a lot of

money, and it was a role that came with financial backing, so they didn’t want to waste the

money.

Marle didn’t care, she believed that Sasha wouldn’t lose to Shirley. As long as Sasha came back, this

place would be her home court!

After Darwin returned to the production team, he spent a few days filming scenes with the support role.

A week later, the doctor confirmed that Sasha had no issues, so Sasha was discharged from the

hospital and joined the production team’s shooting.

The casting controversy of the The Autumn Tragedy production team came to an end, and the filming

proceeded smoothly.

Marie returned home and coincidentally encountered both Olive and Noel at the house.

Marie laughed, “Oh? Why didn’t Olive go to shoot the film?”

Olive glared at her, “Marie! Stop gloating!”

Marie raised an eyebrow, “Gloatingly? Oh, that’s right! I forgot, Sasha is the female lead in my

family. Didn’t Olive proudly want to join the crew a few days ago? How come I haven’t heard anything

and she’s back?”

Olive rushed over, pointed at her, and yelled, “Bitch! It’s not your turn to make fun of me!”

“Make fun of you? I’ll wait until you’re like Carly, kicked out of the entertainment industry and the

Spence family. It’s a bit early to laugh at you now,” Marie sneered.

Olive raised her hand to hit her, but Marie blocked it and sneered, “Olive, I’ve told you many times,

don’t lay a hand on me!”

“You!” Olive was just about to scold her.

“Enough! Everyone shut up!” Noel shouted as he stood up and pulled Olive to his side. “You’re all

grown up, and yet you’re constantly bickering like children!”

“Noel! Are you my older brother or not? Didn’t you hear what Marie said? She wants to kick me and

Carly out of the Spence family!” Olive shouted, while tugging at Noel’s suit.

Noel irritably shook off her hand, “Enough! Go back to your room!”

“Noel! You jerk! Sooner or later, you’ll be kicked out too! Do you really think the Spence family would

tolerate you?” Olive shouted.

Smack! Noel slapped Olive’s face, causing her to stagger.

This slap left Marie dumbfounded. Olive was indeed being a bit unreasonable, but was it really

necessary to hit her?

Olive covered her cheek and tears fell from her eyes, “Noel, did you hit me?”

“Watch your attitude when you speak to me, now go back to your room!”

Noel looked very angry, completely unlike his usual gentle and refined appearance.

Olive ran upstairs and slammed the door with a bang.

Noel looked at Marie with a somewhat sinister gaze and asked, “Marie, who is the investor for the

production team?”

Marie hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t know.”

Noel stared at her and asked, “It’s Dennis, isn’t it?”

Get Bors

Marie glanced at him and said, “Is it any of your business?”

“Dennis’ investment is related to me!” Noel’s eyes were somewhat gloomy.

“Alright, it’s Dennis. What do you want?” Marie raised her eyebrows as she looked at him.

Noel tugged at the corner of his mouth, and with a somewhat mocking smile, he asked, “How far have

you two progressed? Have you slept together? Is he willing to spend tens of millions of dollars. for you

to have fun?”

Marie frowned, “Noel, don’t be so harsh with your words. It’s Dennis’ freedom to invest in whatever he

wants, and I can’t control that.”

“Really?” Noel took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and handed it to Marie. “On New Year’s Eve, you

made a tremendous mess at home and then went to the beach to flirt with Dennis?”

In the photo, she and Dennis were setting off fireworks by the seaside, chasing and playing around,

kissing and embracing, as well as sitting on the beach watching the sunrise.

Marie snatched the phone, flipping through it one by one, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it,

crushing the phone to pieces. “Noel, did you have someone follow me?”

“Marie, I was just worried about you. Dennis is someone you can’t control. Don’t make a fuss anymore,

do you hear me?” Noel said, looking at the broken phone on the ground.

“Noel! Who I date is my business! It’s not your place to interfere! Try having someone follow me

again and see what happens!”

Marie was in a hurry, why was Noel looking at her like that?

He wasn’t even her brother, yet he stalked her, secretly took photos of her, and now he even had the

audacity to openly use them to threaten her!

“Marie! Stay away from Dennis!” Noel warned her loudly.

“I won’t! It’s none of your business!” Marie shouted back.

“Marie, Dennis is very dangerous, did you hear me? Stop messing around,” Noel said, rubbing his

forehead in frustration.

“I heard it…” Marie nodded, “But I didn’t make a fuss.”

person in the family, and y

“Weren’t you causing enough trouble? There’s already one still won’t stop?” Noel glared at her.

“What can you do if I don’t back down?” Marie said.

“Marie! This is your home! Did you really have to make it a tremendous mess, completely disorganized,

to be satisfied?” Noel said angrily.

“You’re right, this is my home…” Marie lifted her head, fearlessly looking at Noel, “This is my home! My

home alone! This home should never have had you! Or Carly! Or Olive! And definitely not your wicked

mother!”

Noel’s hand suddenly raised to slap Marie, but she didn’t have time to react and block it. Instinctively,

she closed her eyes, expecting the pain. However, the anticipated pain never came. Noel’s hand

stopped just beside her ear, and he clenched his fist. He said, “Marie, watch your

words. That’s still my mother!”

Marie raised her hand, brushed aside Noel’s fist, and sneered, “Do you know where my mother is? She

died of depression when I was too young to remember anything. I can’t even recall her face. Then, I

spent 18 years living in the Spence mansion, a life worse than a dog’s!

And for all this, who should I blame? Should I blame Olive? Or should I blame Carly?

It’s not any of these. I will attribute all of these to your mother, one by one, item by item, and I will give

them back to her exactly as they were!”

“Your mother…” Noel tried to argue, tried to mediate.

Marie interrupted him, “I don’t care what kind of person my mother was! Whether she was promiscuous

or shameless, it doesn’t matter to me!

But your mother was a thief! She stole my family, my father, my original life! I want to take it back,

what’s wrong with that?”

Noel clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Marie, will you only be

satisfied if one of us dies?”

“No…” Marie laughed, “The ending of this story is only you guys dying, and me living!”

She was filled with hatred, resentment, anger, and malice, and today, she unleashed it all in front of

Noel. She laid out her unyielding obsession, telling him that she would never let them go.

Noel grabbed Marie’s wrist, stared into her eyes, and said, “Marie, back off, I don’t want to be your

enemy!”

Marie shook herself, but couldn’t break free. She laughed and said, “Well, you can just be my

enemy then. I don’t care if I have one more or one less enemy.”

Noel dragged her out the door, and Marie struggled the whole time, “Noel! What are you

doing? Let

me go!”

Noel ignored her protests, pulling her into the car and locking the doors. He stepped on the gas pedal

all the way, and theysped off into the distance.

Marie was pressed against her seat by the immense force, hastily fastening her seatbelt, and asked,

“Where are you taking me?”

Noel ignored her and drove onto the highway. There were not many cars on the highway, and Noel’s

car was speeding.

“Noel! Are you crazy? I want to live longer, even if you don’t!” Marie shouted, frightened by the speed of

the car.

Noel glanced at her and mocked, “So you do get scared sometimes?”

Marie took out her phone and called Dennis. As soon as the call connected, Marie shouted, “Dennis!

I…”

Before she could speak, Noel grabbed her phone and threw it out the window.

Marie became impatient, “Noel! Are you sick?”

Noel glared at her, “Marie, I am family with you! You don’t trust me! You trust Dennis?”

“Yes! I do believe in Dennis! I do believe in him!” Marie shouted.

In her heart, Noel and her had never been family; they were two camps, two camps that would never

stop fighting.

So, it was only natural for her to harbor hostility and wariness towards Noel. Now that Noel was

forcefully dragging her along for a high-speed drive on the highway, how could she not be afraid?

She had finally been reborn, only to be hit and killed by a car on the highway? That would be such a

waste!

“Marie? Marie?” Dennis shouted into the phone twice, but the call was disconnected. He was sure that

Marie had just called out to him urgently before hanging up without saying anything else.

He had a bad feeling and pressed the intercom on the table, “Cullen, go find out where Marie is right

now.”
