The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 95

Marie returned to Cloudy Villa and happened to see Noel’s car parked at the entrance. Carly got out

of the car, and the three of them met at the mansion’s entrance.

Marie was wearing a simple white T-shirt and shorts, looking just like a student, while Carly was quite

different. She wore a haute couture dress from a certain brand, with three inches high heels,

sunglasses on her face, and an aura of a true celebrity.

Before Marie could speak, Carly stopped her and said, “I heard you haven’t been home for several

days. Where have you been messing around?”

Noel furrowed his brow, not knowing that Marie hadn’t returned for several days.

Marie turned to her and asked, “Do I have to report to you where I go?”

Carly took off her sunglasses, revealing her delicate eye makeup, and said disdainfully, “That won’t be

necessary. I’m just showing some concern for you. Don’t actually end up getting pregnant before

marriage.”

Marie was taken aback. Pregnant before marriage?

Did Carly know about that incident with Dereon last time?

“Carly, did you orchestrate Dereon’s situation?” Marie asked coldly.

Carly’s face showed panic, and she immediately said, “What Dereon situation? Don’t falsely accuse

me!”

She certainly didn’t forget when Marie took revenge on her for the first time, causing her to be unable to

hold her head up in Las Vegas for a month. Whenever she went out, she would be called

the malicious sister.

For the second time, she was retaliated against, causing her not to dare to appear in school for an

entire year. Even now, people are still discussing her situation in the forum.

Now she had become smarter, she wanted to hide behind others and let them deal with Marie.

Dereon was suddenly hospitalized, and it was said that the bodyguard was guarding closely. She didn’t

have time to ask if everything had been settled.

Marle laughed. “Carly, do you know what’s the funniest thing about you? You clearly don’t have the

guts, yet you still want to commit some petty crimes!”

Carly, flustered, immediately argued, “Instead of having time worrying about me, why don’t you focus

on Darwin and Sasha? Isn’t Darwin supposed to protect Sasha? You all like to protect Sasha, right?

But it seems to me that Darwin is a bit unable to fend for himself right now!”

“How did you know that Darwin was unable to fend for himself? The surveillance footage only

showed Darwin entering and leaving the room. Who said he harassed the female artist?”

Marie laughed. “Carly, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Darwin is still capable of protecting Sasha,

and you’re destined to be completely crushed by Sasha!”

Carly sneered. “Really? Well, we’ll see about that!”

Carly, wearing high heels, walked arrogantly into the mansion. This time, she was fully prepared and

determined to take down Sasha’s capable assistant in order to kick her out of the entertainment

industry!

After Carly went in, Marie headed towards Asher’s mansion. Suddenly, Noel called out to her,

“Marie.”

Marie turned around. “What’s up?”

“Don’t compete with Carly, you can’t win,” Noel advised.

Both sides were people he cared about, and he didn’t want to see them fight as if it were

life-and-death.

“Before it’s even over, how do you know I can’t win?” Marie said.

“Marie, so what if you fought? You guys are family, do you really need to make it a life-and-death.

situation?” Noel frowned.

“Noel, do you know how my mom died?” Marie suddenly asked.

Noel was taken aback. “I don’t know.”

Marie sneered. “When my mom wasn’t even pregnant with me yet, Ms. Dillon had already given birth to

you. When my mom died, you weren’t a kid anymore. Didn’t you know what happened back then?”

Noel finally understood and his face looked terrible. “Marie, do you think I’m lying?”

Marie tilted her head and laughed, then asked, “Haven’t you lied too? Carly knew the truth about

year, and you didn’t?”

that

Noel’s frown deepened, as he couldn’t understand what Marie was saying at all. What truth?

“Marie, what are you suspecting? What does your mother’s death have to do with Carly?” Noel

asked.

Marie looked at Noel’s expression, which didn’t seem fake. So it appeared that he genuinely didn’t

know.

“Carly said she knew the truth about my mom’s death, and if Noel wants to know, you can ask her.

After all, I really want to know if my mom’s death had anything to do with Ms. Dillon, you and your

siblings.”

Marie paused for a moment, as if she had just remembered something, and then said, “Noel asked

earlier what would happen if I win the fight? If my mom’s death had even the slightest connection to

them, I’ll make them pay a hundred times over.”

Her tone was very calm, but still carried an intimidating aura. Even when she smiled, her eyes were

cold to the extreme.

However, Noel had seen her by Dennis’ side, smiling gently, looking lovely and charming.

“Marie…” Noel suddenly asked, “You haven’t been home these past few days, were you

Dennis?”

with

Marie hesitated for a moment and said, “It seems like Noel is worrying a bit too much.”

.

Noel felt a bit annoyed. “Marie, Dennis is not a good match for you.”

Marie rolled her eyes. Did everyone want her to stay away from Dennis now?

She ignored Noel and turned around to walk back to the mansion.

Noel entered the living room, where Carly was sitting on the couch watching TV. Seeing Noel come in,

she said irritably, “What were you talking to that bitch about?”

Noel frowned. Carly wasn’t like this before. Although she was spoiled and pampered in the past, she

was still a well-behaved little girl. Now, there was no trace of ignorance on her face, and she would

often scold and hit the housekeeper at home, making everyone very upset.

Noel sat on one side of the couch, not saying anything.

Carly didn’t hear a response, so she turned to look at Noel, snorted, and said, “Noel, I don’t mean to

criticize you, but I’m your real sister, and that Marie is just a little bitch. You shouldn’t be so close

to her, or you might tarnish your own reputation.”

“Enough!” Noel looked at her. “Carly, what do you know about Marie’s mother’s death?”

Carly was startled and looked at the TV, waving her hand and saying, “What could I know? Didn’t her

mom took her own life due to depression?”

Noel stared at her. “Really? You don’t know anything?”

“Noel! I’m your real sister! What kind of spell did that Marie put on you that you’re questioning me like

this!” Carly yelled angrily.

Before Noel could speak, Mia entered the living room and asked, how could you lose your temper with

your brother?”

M’s all the noise about? Carly,

As soon as Carly saw Mia, she complained and clung to her, saying, “Mom! Look at Noel, I don’t

know what Marie told him, but he’s been picking on me!”

Mia gently patted Carly’s hand to comfort her and turned to Noel. “Noel, it’s not that Mom is scolding

you, but Carly is your real sister. How could you side with outsiders?”

“Mom, I…” Noel tried to argue, but Mia immediately interrupted him, “Noel, Marie is just an ingrate!

Even if you defend her, she won’t remember your kindness!”

Mia and Carly were scolding Noel and belittling Marie, constantly talking and complaining. Annoyed,

Noel grabbed his coat and left the house.

“Noel! Where are you going? We agreed to come back for dinner today!” Mia called out to him.

“I’m not in the mood! I don’t want to eat!” Noel said irritably, and then left the mansion.

In this home, there wasn’t a single day of peace.

Ever since he could remember, Mia had been talking all day about moving into the Spence family

mansion, telling him that he was a descendant of the Spence family and would definitely reunite with

the family.

At that time, Mia and Mason were secretly dating, afraid of being discovered by others.

Later on, Olive was born, and Mia became increasingly bold. Every time Mason came to their house,

Mia would nag him about when he would let her and her children move back in and give them.

proper status.

Later on, she even boldly went on a date with Mason, taking Olive with her to cause a scene at the

Spence mansion. She told them that a bad woman lived in that mansion, who had stolen their father

and taught them to hit and scold her.

That was Marie’s mother, who seemed to be called Luisa Pearson or something like that.

Olive didn’t understand things well; every time she saw Luisa, she would yell at her and even throw

things at her. However, Noel clearly felt that she didn’t seem like a bad woman at all.

Not long after Marie was born, Luisa passed away. Mia then moved in with them to the Spence

mansion, and from then on, they all took on the Spence name and had a father and a home.

Back then, Marie’s presence was so low that Noel didn’t even pay attention to it. But now, as Marie

became more and more dazzling, he suddenly realized that what they called having a home back then

was nothing more than taking away Marie’s home.

And his respected mother and beloved sisters repeatedly boasted about this matter as an honor.

He couldn’t do it. Every time he faced Marie’s clear eyes, his heart was filled with guilt.

After Marie returned to her room, she opened her computer and looked through the news about

Darurin

Essentially, it was confirmed that he had sexually harassed female celebrities, and his personal life was

a mess, being addicted to nightclubs and such.

While browsing through the comments below, it was clear that they were all cursing him.

[This is obviously Darwin! So disgusting!]

[What’s with the popular male artist persona? Pervy man!]

[Did he mess around like this in every production team? Wasn’t he afraid he couldn’t handle it?]

[Strongly demanded to blacklist him! This kind of person is a scumbag in the entertainment

industry!]

[I can’t believe I liked him for so many years, and he turned out to be this kind of person!]

[Darwin’s background was quite strong, right? Who would dare to blacklist him?]

[Resolutely resista

of Darwin’s works! I don’t even want to watch that Against the War!]

Even though there were a few die-hard fans defending Darwin, they were immediately attacked by

angry netizens, leaving them with no room to breathe.

Darwin’s image plummeted drastically, and overnight, he went from being a popular male artist to a

social scumbag that everyone despised.

His popularity from Against the War had completely vanished, and all the previously confirmed.

endorsement deals were canceled. Now, Darwin was even worse off than a D-list minor celebrity.

Sasha and Zane had previously collaborated with Darwin several times and had a great relationship.

However, they did not set boundaries with Darwin and remained silent during interviews, which

attracted a group of haters and cost them a few job opportunities.

In summary, Carly’s actions this

were swift, accurate, and ruthless. It can be said that she precisely targeted Darwin, while also hurting

Zane and Sasha in the process. The careers of all three were left in a precarious position.

Marie was preparing to call Kate, wanting her to hack into York Hotel’s surveillance camera system and

obtain the complete surveillance footage.

Ring ring… Marie’s phone rang. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

She held the phone between her ear and shoulder, flipping through the news while saying, “Hello?

Dennis, what’s up?”

‘Come to Glorious Estate.” Dennis’ voice was as magnetic as ever.

“Why? I’m very busy right now.” Marie was occupied with handling Darwin’s matters and didn’t have

time to accompany him.

“Come here, I’ll show you the surveillance footage from York Hotel,” Dennis said casually.

Marie was taken aback. “How did you know I needed the surveillance footage?”

“Come out, Cullen will pick you up at the door,” Dennis said before hanging up the phone. His voice

sounded somewhat… disdainful?

Tsk!

Wasn’t it just about moving faster than me?

Fine, don’t care then! The surveillance footage was important!

Marie quickly ran downstairs, told Edward that she wouldn’t be back for dinner that night, and then

ran out.

Cullen was indeed at the door, having already opened the back seat of the car. “Ms. Marie, shall we get

in?”

Marie got in the car and settled down, while Cullen considerately closed the car door and drove

towards Glorious Estate.
