The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 71

After that, Marie followed Dennis and left the racetrack. Nataly stared at their backs and said, “Dennis

doesn’t seem to be happy.”

Andres didn’t say anything and always felt that Clayton had an inexplicable hostility towards Marie. It

seemed that every time Clayton appeared, Dennis and Marie’s emotions would both fluctuate

greatly.

After getting into the car, Marie looked at Dennis carefully. He drove the car, looked ahead, and called

her name, “Marie.”

“Huh?” Marie was in shock.

“Clayton has no malice,” Dennis said.

Marie nodded. “I know.”

She thought, I know she doesn’t mean that, but she suspects that I have bad intentions by your side.

What about you?

Even Clayton can tell that I’m weird. What about you? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Marie didn’t dare to ask, nor did she want to.

However, Dennis seemed to know what she was thinking. He said, “I have told you, I’ll wait for you as

long as you don’t lie.”

Marie lowered her head and whispered, “Okay.”

While waiting for the traffic light, Dennis fell his gaze on her, seemingly careless, but straight to the

heart. He asked, “Will you hurt me?”

Marie shook her head. “No.”

She could hunt down Wren Terry for the rest of her life, take revenge on Seth Rodgers, and destroy the

Rodger Group and the Terry family, but she would never hurt Dennis.

She would kept this secret forever. She was afraid about her identity, her past, her purpose. When she

had to go to the battlefield, she would drag Dennis along with her.

She only cared about his safety.

Dennis chuckled, stretched out his hand to rub the back of her fluffy head. “That’s enough.”

As long as she said no, he would believe her.

When Marie returned home, she sent photos of Darwin and Sasha to Shawn, the author of Against the

War. Seeing the photo, Shawn immediately agreed to retake it.

Luca had already arrived at the Spence residence. Edward had arranged for him to stay there. He had

a car, a house, and a salary. He took the newly equipped car keys and said, “I have never thought I

could live like an ordinary person since I grew up.”

Marie felt a little sad. Since the day they joined the Rodger Group, they had been told that they might

die in a foreign country at any time, not enough left to bury.

Because of her ignorant love for Seth, she brought death to herself and harmed so many people

around her.

Luca was still alive and stood in front of her, which made her feel content.

Luca waved his hand in front of her and asked, “Ms. Spence, why are you crying?”

Marie shook her head and said, “I miss Kate and the others. I don’t know when they can come back.”

Luca slumped on the couch and said, “Who cares about them? Maybe Emory and Kate are on vacation

on a island. As long as the Rodger Group can’t find them, there won’t be many people in this world who

can hurt them.”

Marie nodded and said, “Just call me Marie. You don’t have to call me Ms. Spence. I’ll rely on you

when I go out.”

Luca scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “Don’t worry. No one can hurt you with me

around.”

The next day…

When Marie sent the script to Darwin, he stomped in anger. “Why should I do whatever you want me to

do?”

Marie replied, “You lost. A bet is a bet.”

Darwin could only accept this.

Andres contacted the director for help, and Shawn revised the script and lines all the time to ensure

that the novel was restored to the maximum extent.

Everything was ready. Sasha was expected.

Another year after the SAT, Sasha came to New York and met Darwin for the first time on the set.

Darwin was wearing a suit from the time of Republic of China. His hair was combed smooth, looking

like a playboy. He sat with his legs crossed, and his assistant served him tea and water.

Seeing that Marie brought Sasha in, Darwin looked up and curled his lips disdainfully. “Is this the

heraine? She looks like a man.”

Marie was speechless.

In fact, Sasha just had short hair and looked a little heroic. Darwin could only say a few words because

he just had a problem with Marie.

Sasha also said unceremoniously, “Is this the hero? He looks greasy.”

Darwin was little angry but couldn’t say anything.

Everyone in his circle respected him and liked him. He had a lot of fans because of his handsome

appearance. Who dared to say that about him?

Before he could say anything to Sasha, she left with the makeup artist.

Sitting down beside Darwin, Marie said, “Just wait a moment. You will definitely be amazed by

Sasha.”

Darwin pursed his lips. “I don’t believe it.”

“Do you want to bet?” Marie asked.

“Sure. What’s the bet?”

“If Sasha’s makeup amazes you, you’ll finish the movie as I ask you to, and be serious.”

Looking at the phone, Darwin nodded and said, “Okay.”

An hour later, Darwin was about to fall asleep. The door of the dressing room opened, and the girl who

walked out was not the same as Sasha, who was like a boy.

She couldn’t be called a girl anymore. This was simply the singer from the novel.

Her black curly hair was scattered behind her back, her face was wearing delicate makeup, her eyes

were slender and charming, her big red lips were even more bright and moving. The tear mole under

the corner of her eye give others a feeling of pity.

The maroon gown made her curvy figure look better. A pair of small high heels gave her a

temperament of elegance when she walked with a fan in her hand.

Darwin was surprised. If he hadn’t seen Sasha walk into the dressing room with his own eyes, he

would never have believed that the woman in front of him was the same Sasha just now.

Only when Marie patted Darwin on the shoulder did he come back to his senses. She shook her head

helplessly and said, “It’s a deal. You have to focus on filming.”

Darwin was at a loss for words.

Why on earth did he bet with Marie? It was as if he had signed a contract of selling himself.

Meanwhile, Marie was busy preparing for the filming of Against the War. Olive Entertainment had

officially announced Carly as the female lead of a new campus drama, Youth.

Sasha scrolled through the news and asked, “Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if we lose to Carly?”

Marie nodded. “That’s why you need to work hard.”

There was destined to be endless strife between Marie and the Spence sisters. She couldn’t lose

because she had carried too much hatred.

The first scene featured Jaime and Jordyn’s first encounter in a dance hall.

Sasha stood on the stage and sang a song called The Music of the Night. Her voice was melodious,

and her eyes were flirtatious. Darwin sat among a group of rich children, toasting and whispering.

Jaime stared at Jordyn with a look of aggression and admiration when their eyes met.

In just one scene, the director, the original author and scriptwriter Shawn all praised them. repeatedly.

These two people were simply coming from the book.

Sasha’s scene was perfect because of her years of acting skills speculation, practicing various extra

roles. On the other hand, Darwin was this kind of dude. He was simply acting as himself.

He just needed to pretend to be cool and handsome in the early stage. The relationship drama hadn’t

started yet, and the real test of acting skills hadn’t come yet.

When Marie traveled back and forth between school and the set, Global Medias announced the filming

of Against the War, which aroused a burst of fan enthusiasm.

After announcing that Darwin would be the male lead, Jaime Constance, there were many doubts on

the Internet. An opening clip revealed that Darwin’s acting skills were in line with Jaime. Constance’s

persona as a playboy, which caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

Afterward, Global Medias only occasionally released photos and footage of Darwin alone during the

filming period, keeping the heroine’s identity a secret to the extreme.

The closed shooting left the media with no place to find out about the heroine. Therefore, the topic

of the heroine of War Against continued to occupy the hot search topic list, and countless netizens left

messages speculating about the heroine’s candidate.

Andres asked Marie, “Aren’t you going to announce the heroine now?”

Marie shook her head. “No, wait until the day when Sasha appear on TV as Jordyn. It will be the time

to stir the internet.”

She had 100% confidence in Sasha. Her appearance, acting skills, and gestures were the Jordyn

Michelson in the novel who was soft outside but firm inside, making people feel distressed.

So, let’s take it slow.
