The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 175

Darwin pulled Sasha to Marie’s side. Then Sasha straightened the hem of her skirt and asked, “What’s

wrong,

Marie?”

Stunned, Marie asked, “What do you mean?”

Sasha was also stunned. “Weren’t you looking for me?”

Marie looked at Darwin, who was winking at her. She looked at Sasha and could only make up an

excuse,

“Yes, there is a boss who wants you to shoot an ad. What do you think?”

Sasha smiled and said, “You decide. I’ll listen to you. As long as you think it’s appropriate.”

After the small chat between Sasha and Marie, she was then pulled away by her assistant to socialize

with a

glass of wine.

Marie rolled her eyes at Darwin and said, “What’s wrong with you?”

Darwin looked at Sasha’s distant back and said, “Didn’t you say that you won’t rein me after the film

festival?

Can I take action now?”

Marie pinched the middle of her eyebrows. “I only have one request. Can’t you keep it low-key?”

Darwin smiled happily. “Okay!”

Looking at Darwin chasing after Sasha like a peacock extending its feathers, Marie shuddered with

goosebumps. Only Sasha could charm a man like that!

While Marie, Sasha and the others became favorites at the banquet, Olive and Shirley were ignored

there.

The treatment of Olive was not bad. After all, she was still a big shot in showbiz, added to the fact that

she

was a hit two years ago, of whom many men dreamed. All investors still wanted to have a drink with

her.

Olive was also used to the admiration in the eyes of men and enjoyed the feeling of being flattered. As

for

William, that man couldn’t even manage to take care of the judge panel, so what was the point of

having

him?

Olive had not spared him a single glance since the awards ceremony.

Shirley, on the other hand, was rarely quiet. She had been also-rans for three years, but in the end, all

her efforts were in vain, and her family was urging her to retire early. She probably had no hope of

continuing to

struggle.

Since Shirley had already shown that she wanted to quit the industry, Olive naturally wouldn’t pay

much

attention to her and let Shirley go home early.

She figured it out. These days, no one could be relied on. She supported Carly, Dereon, and Shirley.

The resources had been given to them, and they themselves were unable to seize the opportunity. It

was not her

fault.

After several failures, there was no way to explain to the family anymore, and the studio was probably

going

to end.

What Olive had to do now was to spend all her resources on herself, elevate her status, flatter Nataly,

and then marry into a rich family. Women still had to rely on themselves.

Her appearance was really beautiful, and she was once rated as one of the most beautiful faces. Olive

was

very confident in this.

What was the use of Marie being powerful? These days, rich families were all about marriage. Which

rich man would marry her?

Everyone knew that Marie was the least favored in the Spence family. Marrying her was no better than

marrying a housekeeper of the Spence family!

Olive adjusted her mood, pulled Nataly, and walked between the bosses with a smile on her face.

Nataly’s status in the upper class was self-evident, and many people acquiesced that Nataly and

Dennis had a thing. Andres also favored her, and Nataly was simply an arrogant princess at the

banquet.

Olive told Nataly that she was also old enough to get married, but none of those she knew was a good,

age-appropriate match for her, so she wanted to ask Nataly to introduce a few people to her.

But there was no way Nataly would introduce Andres to Olive!

If things did not work out between Dennis and her, Andres was her way out. How could she give up her

man to Olive? With Olive’s means, maybe she could really seduce Andres.

So, Nataly declined politely and said, “The fiancée that Andres’ family chose for him is from a wealthy

family in England, but his family also has a lot of outstanding descendants. You can ask him to

introduce them to

you.”

Hearing this, Olive understood that there was no hope between her and Andres, but the rest of the

Robert

family also worked! As long as it was someone from a wealthy family!

Olive took Nataly’s hand and smiled pleasantly. “Nataly, didn’t you say you could invite Mr. Robert over

for a

drink? Ask him to come over!”

Nataly nodded. “Okay, I’ll go get him.”

Andres Robert was chatting with Marie.

has he?”

Looking at Darwin, Marie asked, “Hasn’t Darwin ever had a girlfriend,

Andres nodded, “That’s right! I don’t know what’s wrong with him now. Which girl can stand his bad

temper!”

Marie glanced at Andres and said, “You’re so good-tempered. Girls all like you, huh?”

Andres drank the champagne in his hand and was silent for a long time before asking, “Have you seen

Iliana

recently?”

Marie shook her head. “No, she hasn’t been out much lately.”

Andres nodded and said nothing more

Get Bogus

Nataly walked over and greeted Andres, who responded with a smile. With a gentle look on her face,

Nataly said, “Andres, come and have a drink? I want to introduce some friends to you.”

Andres agreed habitually to Nataly’s invitation. When he was about to speak, Darwin ran over and

pulled

Andres. “Andres! Iliana is sick!”

Andres was stunned, “Sick?”

Darwin nodded vigorously. “Yes, Gavin said that Iliana is in the hospital now. Go and have a look!”

Andres put down his glass and left without saying goodbye to Nataly.

Initially, Marie thought that Darwin was finding an excuse to keep Andres away from Nataly. However,

Darwin looked at her seriously and asked, “Aren’t you going? I’m not joking. She’s really sick!”

Only then did Marie believe him. She put down the glass, caught up with Andres, and got into the car to

go to the hospital with him.

Nataly looked at Andres’ flustered back and was a little angry. Once upon a time, Andres’ emotions

fluctuated so much only for her.

And now, who was that vixen named Iliana?

Was it not enough that Marie had seduced Dennis, and that she expected her friend to steal Andres?

Looking at Nataly’s angry face, Darwin smiled and said, “Why are you here instead of following Olive?”

Nataly opened her mouth and was about to speak when Darwin looked at her with disgust and said,

“Stay away from Andres. I won’t allow you to be my sister-in-law!”

Darwin turned around and went to look for Sasha again. Nataly was furious when she saw his arrogant

look. Darwin was just a playboy. How could he decide on the matter of Andres?

When Nataly walked back to Olive, she was stunned and asked, “Nataly, where’s Mr. Robert?”

Nataly smiled awkwardly and said, “Olive, I’m sorry. It seems that a friend of Ms. Spence suddenly got

sick, so Andres went to the hospital.”

Olive’s expression changed, and she said, “A friend of hers is sick. What does it have to do with Mr.

Robert?”

With an aggrieved look on her face, Nataly said, “This… must be Ms. Spence’s idea. You know that she

has a good relationship with Darwin, so naturally, she can talk to Andres.”

Olive was even more upset. How could she allow Marie to hook up with a wealthy family in New York

before

her?

Now that Marie had just met Darwin, she had already been so arrogant. If she knew the people of the

Whitney family through Andres, what was her position in New York?

Olive took Nataly’s hand and said, “Nataly! Mr. Robert is a good friend of yours. How could you let

Marie take advantage of it? Don’t be fooled by her. She’s the best at bewitching people!”

Nataly looked at Olive innocently and asked, “Then what should we do?”

“Didn’t Mr. Robert still have feelings for you? If you get sick now, he will definitely leave everything

behind and

come to see you!” Olive encouraged her.

“Me? That’s not good…” Nataly said hesitantly.

“What’s wrong with that? You’re just trying to save Mr. Robert from not being fooled by that vixen,

Marie!”

Olive said. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Nataly nodded hesitantly and said, “Well… Okay then.”

When Andres and Marie arrived at the hospital, they went to the ward. Andres went to find Gavin first.

Gavin said that Iliana’s irregular diet over the past few days had caused gastroenteritis, so she would

be fine after

injections.

When Andres went to visit Iliana in the ward, she was lying on the bed. Marie sat on the edge of the

bed and scolded her, “Tell me, what can be more important than your body? Don’t you even want to die

after he gets.

married?”

Iliana lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry to make you worry. I’m not doing this for him. I just have a

poor

appetite and can’t eat.”

However, Marie didn’t believe it and felt distressed. She sighed and said, “He’s not the right one. Don’t

force

it.”

Andres pushed the door open and gave the medicine to Marie. “Gavin gave me this. Remember to let

her take

it on time.”

“Andres…” Iliana was surprised to see that Andres was also here.
