The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 171

Upon seeing the two appear together on the red carpet, fans of the live stream channel and those in

the

audience went wild.

One commented: [Holy crap, this year Darwin actually didn’t walk the red carpet with Sasha?]

Another wrote: [After looking around, Sasha still seemed to be the most attractivel]

One wrote: [Did Darwin get disliked by Sasha, hahaha!]

Another commented: [Sasha really had a strong presence walking the red carpet alone!]

One wrote: [Sabrina and Darwin really clicked too!]

Another commented: [Darwin might be versatile, I guess…]

Regarding Sabrina and Darwin appearing together, some people were happy while others were

worried. Many fans were longing for the Darsha couple, but who knew that this year it suddenly

changed to Sabrina.

However, some people also thought that Sabrina was pure and lovely, and she looked very well-

matched

standing beside Darwin.

In response to the host’s question, none of the individuals involved actually answered directly, but

instead

urged everyone to focus more on the work itself.

This year, Sasha and Darwin’s achievements were nothing short of spectacular. Their collaboration on

the TV

series The Autumn Tragedy consistently topped the ratings charts, and they were eagerly awaiting the

year-end film and television awards ceremony to see what prizes they would win.

Nowadays, both of them entered the film festival with their respective movies, and the impressive box

office

results seemed to indicate their determination to win awards.

Aside from these two eye-catching actors, another one was Shirley. She starred in The Earthquake,

which

received many positive reviews. With Shirley’s gentle appearance, her presence on the red carpet

caused a

wave of cheers. It seemed that many had already forgotten that this year, Shirley was heavily criticized

online

for tax evasion.

Nowadays, all it took was making a movie, apologizing, and playing the victim, and then the matter

was

considered in the past.

Although Shirley had been in the industry for years, she had hardly won any significant awards. This

year, she

was nominated, but it was uncertain whether she would win or merely to be nominated once again.

Afterward, Olive, Nataly, and William entered one after another. In order not to arouse suspicion, Olive

came

in with Nataly. Nataly, as Olive’s new stylist, gained a large number of fans on Twitter due to her

reputation as a beautiful and academically outstanding woman.

After taking their seats, Marie and Sasha Darwin sat together, with Sabrina sitting next to Darwin. In the

row

behind them, Nataly, Olive, and Shirley were seated.

Upon seeing several people sitting down, Shirley sneered and said, “Sabrina, did you switch to Maris

Entertainment? You sure were quick to curry favor!”

Get Borts

Olive laughed, “What kind of big shot does Marie think she is? Just a small studio, and she really thinks

she’s

a big shot in the entertainment industry?”

Nataly sat to the side, watching Marie being mocked, feeling quite pleased. One of the main reasons

she had been willing to cooperate with Olive was that Olive, like her, would spare no effort in attacking

Marie.

Before Marie could speak, Darwin turned to look at Olive and laughed, “We are indeed a small studio,

but when it comes to big shots in the entertainment industry, Andres should be considered one, right?

Ms. Olive, would you like to have a chat with Andres?”

Olive’s face changed, and she didn’t dare to speak. Indeed, Andres held the best resources and

contacts in the entertainment industry through Global Medias. Which celebrity wouldn’t want to be

associated with Andres and Global Medias? She certainly didn’t want to offend Andres! Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Olive suddenly closed her mouth and looked at Nataly. Nataly coughed twice, appearing like a caring

older sister, and looked at Darwin, saying, “Darwin, how could you speak like that?”

Darwin snorted, “Who are you to me? Why should you care how I speak?”

Nataly didn’t expect Darwin to be so disrespectful. She awkwardly smiled, turned to Olive, and said,

“Olive, if you have anything you want to discuss with Andres, just tell me.”

Darwin snorted coldly, “What’s the point of telling you? Who are you to Andres?”

Marie also laughed and asked, “Were Ms. Carmen and Andres really that close?”

Olive said proudly, “Marie, Nataly is going to be Mrs. Whitney in the future, so it’s only natural for her to

have good relationships with some high society people. Besides, Nataly and Mr. Andres Robert of

Global Medias

grew up together!”

In Olive’s view, by hitching a ride on Nataly’s coattails, she had essentially set one foot in the door of

the

Whitney family.

Olive originally had feelings for Dennis, but after finding out that Nataly and Dennis were childhood

sweethearts and that their families even had engagement plans, she decided to let it go.

Without Dennis, there were still other young sons from the Whitney family. As long as one held onto

Nataly, why would they be afraid of not being able to climb up the Whitney family?

Upon hearing this, Marie paused for a moment and asked, “Mrs. Whitney?”

Olive laughed, “Yeah, the Whitney family from New York, Marie, you must know them, right? Mr.

Whitney even attended Grandpa’s birthday party, and you were quite attentive to him, weren’t you? It’s

just that we didn’t expect that Mr. Whitney had his own first crush!”

Marie couldn’t help but laugh, “First crush? It couldn’t be Ms. Carmen, could it?”

Qlive nodded, “Of course! Nataly will be marrying Mr. Whitney soon!”

Olive had a proud expression on her face, just like a peacock displaying its feathers, as if she was

afraid that others wouldn’t know that Nataly was Dennis’s childhood sweetheart and the future

daughter-in-law of the Whitney family.

Get Boro

Marie glanced at Nataly, the sarcasm in her eyes not hidden at all. She laughed and said, “Well,

congratulations to Ms. Carmen then.”

Even Darwin turned around, looked at Nataly, and said while holding back laughter, “Congratulations!

Get

married sooner, and stop causing trouble for Andres!”

Sasha also covered her mouth, barely managing not to laugh out loud.

Everyone in their small circle knew that Dennis cherished Marie deeply. He was afraid of losing her

and

treated her as if she was too precious to let go. Every time they gathered, they would definitely display

their

love.

If it weren’t for Marie being involved in the entertainment industry, where her career hadn’t fully taken

off yet,

and her low-key relationship with Dennis, as well as Dennis being cautious about the complex

relationships

within the Whitney family, fearing that others might hurt Marie, they would have announced their

relationship

to the world much earlier.

But how did it happen that when they got to Olive’s place, Dennis’s first crush turned out to be Nataly?

It really was Nataly. Last time, Nataly went through great lengths to steal the key to Glorious Estate,

which

infuriated Dennis so much that he even wanted to send Nataly back to England.

Marie didn’t have any doubts about Dennis’s sincerity, so the only one who could be lying must have

been

Nataly.

It was just too hilarious, telling everyone that she was Dennis’s fiancée. Even the astute Olive believed

it,

eagerly waiting to be Nataly’s bridesmaid and get a foot in the door of the Whitney family.

Marie wasn’t in a hurry to expose her, so she just sat in her seat, chuckling quietly from time to time.

Sabrina sat to one side and quietly asked Darwin, “What were you all laughing about?”

Darwin chuckled and said, “Some people laugh and bully others by flaunting their powerful

connections!”

Olive’s face changed color, and she glared at Darwin and Marie, not daring to speak.

Olive thought Darwin was talking about her when he mentioned bullying others by flaunting one’s

powerful connections. In reality, Darwin was referring to Nataly, who found it quite useful to show off her

connection with Dennis.

Marie got up to go to the restroom, and as soon as she left, Nataly went too.

As Marie was washing her hands at the sink, she saw Nataly’s reflection in the mirror behind her.

Nataly was wearing a white gown, looking ethereal, but her expression was furious, and she glared at

Marie menacingly.

Marie casually washed her hands and slowly wiped them with a paper towel. Although her strength

wasn’t as great as before, she still had more than enough to deal with someone as thin-limbed as

Nataly.

Nataly stared at Marie with a sinister look in her eyes and said, “Marie! What on earth do you want to

do!”

Marie laughed, looked up at Nataly in the mirror, turned around, and asked, “What did Ms. Carmen

mean? I don’t quite understand.”

Nataly clenched her fist and said, “Don’t even think about being with Dennis! He won’t marry you!”

Marie shook her hand, threw away the tissue, and laughed, “If he doesn’t marry me, do you think he’ll

marry you? Ms. Carmen, don’t you find your self-deceptive behavior ridiculous?”

Nataly glared at Marie, knowing that Marie and her friends must have been secretly mocking her in

their

minds!

But what could she do? She just loved Dennis, and there was no better man than him!

Nataly raised her hand to hit Marie, but Marie blocked her. Nataly tried to pull her hand back, but Marie

held her wrist tightly, like a vice, not allowing her to move.

“Marie! You despicable woman! Dennis will never marry you!” Nataly’s face contorted as she hurled

insults at

Marie.

Marie’s face turned cold and she said, “Nataly, whether Dennis marries me or not is between the two of

us,

but I know for sure that he will never marry you!”

Marie forcefully shook off Nataly’s hand, causing Nataly to stumble and fall towards the sink. This

cleared.

the way for Marie

Marie walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and said, “Oh, by the way, if no one has informed

you, I should tell you that Dennis is now my boyfriend So, please be mindful of your words and actions,

Ms. Carmen Calling him Dennis like that is not appropriate for you!”

“Marie!” Nataly yelled angrily.

Marie smiled at Nataly and said, “Since Ms. Carmen is so determined to win over my Dennis, go ahead

and try your best, and see if my Dennis will even give you a second glance!”

Marie kept saying “my Dennis,” which seemed much more powerful than Nataly’s constant repetition of

“Dennis.” It was as if Marie had claimed Dennis as her own territory in an instant, while Nataly was

merely an

outsider, a buffoon with no right to intervene between the two of them.

Nataly clenched her fists tightly, staring at Marie’s receding figure. Unconsciously, her nails dug into

her

palms.

Nataly’s face turned livid with anger, and her expression alternated between pale and flushed as she

was

mocked, completely losing her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor.

Nataly couldn’t help but want to rush out and stab Marie to death with a knife right then and there!

As long as Marie was no longer in this world, Dennis would be hers alone, and no one could take him

away!
