The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 97

Get Bopus

The next day, Carly confirmed in an interview that she was the female celebrity in the video. She had

been struggling to sleep and was extremely emotionally unstable due to the incident, but the person

involved had not yet come forward to apologize to her.

Carly’s brief interview video quickly topped the trending topics and had high view counts on major

websites. Darwin once again became the talk of the town for making lewd remarks about a female.

celebrity.

[Some fans wanted solid evidence, right? They got what they asked for, were they satisfied?]

[This person must be mentally ill, right? They have so much money and can get anything they want, but

they still resort to such despicable methods!]

[Poor Carly deity… Thankfully, she wasn’t hurt…]

[Our princess must have been left with psychological trauma, she should go see a therapist.]

[Don’t know how many female celebrities have been harassed by Darwin, it’s really disgusting.)

[Why haven’t these kinds of people been banned yet?]

[They didn’t come out to apologize until now, hiding at home like a coward!]

When Marie entered the living room of the Robert residence, Darwin was in the midst of throwing a

tantrum at home.

“Am I a coward? What did I do? Why should I hide?” Darwin threw the water cup on the floor,

shattering it.

Marie dodged to the side and said, “It seems you’re getting well, you can even shatter things.”

Darwin glared at her, “Didn’t you say you would solve it? Why has the situation gotten worse? Now

everyone in the country thinks I’m a psychopath!”

Sasha kicked him and said, “Can you just be quiet for a bit? You’ve been waiting for so long, and now

you can’t wait for just two more days?”

“Nonsense! I was cursed and insulted online!”

Darwin sat on the couch, visibly annoyed, and looked up at Marie. “Can you handle this or not? I might

as well just tell Carly to get out of New York right now, and then there won’t be any problems!”

“No way!” Marie immediately objected, “Can you make her leave New York, or stop her from going

online? When she starts sharing her misery on the internet, it won’t just be about you harassing her, but

also throwing your weight around. By then, not only you, but the entire Robert family and even the

Whitney family will be exposed and criticized by netizens.”

“Yeah, Marie is right, calm down a bit,” Sasha advised.

Darwin slumped onto the couch and stretched out his long legs, kicking the coffee table, “So you tell

me! What should I do? Just let Carly slander me like this, and I can’t even go out to clear my

name!”

“Sasha went to clarify,” Marie said.

Before Sasha could speak, Darwin immediately sat up and said, “No way!”

Sasha looked at him strangely, “Why not?”

“It just won’t work!” Darwin stood up directly and stared condescendingly at Marie.

“Marie, don’t mind him. What exactly should I do to clarify things?” Sasha asked.

“It’s very simple, just send a tweet saying you believe in Darwin,” Marie said.

Darwin shouted anxiously, “No! Why involve Sasha in this? What if you can’t solve it in the end, won’t

you drag Sasha down with you? Sasha just won an award and has a bright future ahead;

there’s no need to get involved in this kind of situation!”

Sasha looked at him strangely again and said, “How do you know Marie can’t solve it if you haven’t

even tried?”

“What if it couldn’t be solved? Are you giving up on your dream of becoming a star?” Darwin glared at

her angrily.

Sasha turned to look at Marie, and Marie asked, “Do you believe me?”

Sasha smiled slightly, “Of course, I believe in you.”

“Count me in,” Zane said as he walked in from outside.

“Zane? Are you sick? Why are you messing around with them?” Darwin scolded him angrily.

“I also believe in Ms. Spence, I bet she’ll win,” Zane said, looking at Marie.

He still remembered the first time he saw Marie. The sun was shining just right, she was wearing a

white dress, stepping out of a luxurious car, bathed in sunlight, and her smile was as beautiful as

an angel’s.

And he was dejected from being beaten, holding his broken guitar, depressed. But she reached out her

hand and said she would give him a music dream.

He believed, and then he really succeeded..

Now, he still believed in her, that she could save them all.

Darwin looked up to the sky and sighed, “What an idiotic company, idiotic boss, and idiotic

colleagues I have!”

Get Bo

Sasha tweeted: [Justice will prevail. If you haven’t done something, you don’t need to admit it, let alone

apologize.]

Zane later retweeted and commented: [Justice will prevail.]

Two tweets sparked an uproar on the internet, and some individual comments gradually shifted the

public opinion.

[Sasha and Zane both spoke up, confirming it was about Darwin, right?]

[The video already confirmed it, so why were they still trying to clear his name?]

[Did Darwin want to turn the situation around? Were there any other pieces of evidence?]

[Did it really seem like Darwin would be foolish enough to harass Carly? After all, Carly had quite a

background.]

[Was Sasha held by Darwin? And you’re helping him cover it up?]

[Sasha and Zane talked for quite a while, and Darwin was still hiding, wasn’t he?]

[From then on, I’ll hate Sasha and Zane all my life, not a single good thing!)

[Hang in there! Sasha and Zane’s fans will arrive at the battlefield soon!]

Although there were still many criticisms of Darwin online, at least it had aroused some doubts among

a portion of netizens. Perhaps Darwin had other evidence to save himself, after all, Zane and Sasha

wouldn’t be foolish enough to ruin their own futures.

“And then?” Darwin asked, “After you used the two of them, what did you do?”

“Wait.” Marie sat cross-legged on the couch.

“Wait? You put the entire company at stake, and there’s no next step plan?” Darwin was anxious.

“Yeah, the next step in the plan was to wait, wait for Carly to get cocky, wait for her to play all her cards,

and then we’d make our move,” Marie squinted her eyes.

“What are you going to do? Can you give me a hint?” Darwin asked.

“Isn’t Carly afraid of you guys stealing her limelight? This time, we’ll step on Carly to rise to the top!”

Marie laughed mischievously.

On the other side, there was Whitney Group building.

Dennis was flipping through the documents, signing them and asking, “How is Dereon doing?”

“Following Mr. Whitney’s instructions, if Dereon woke up and tried to leave the hospital, they were

to put him back in. So, Dereon hasn’t been discharged yet and refuses to see anyone. He only has his

bodyguard with him, probably terrified,” Cullen reported the situation.

Dennis snorted, “With such little courage, you dare to kidnap Marie? Be more ruthless, ask him who

exactly helped him do those things.”

“Yes, Mr. Whitney,” Cullen said.

Dereon hid in the hospital room every day, not daring to go out, because as soon as he left the room,

a group of people would appear out of nowhere and beat him up. Once, they even tied him up and

submerged him in a lake, only pulling him out when he was about to suffocate. He was terrified and

didn’t want to die. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

But as long as he stayed in the hospital room with the bodyguard guarding the door, no one would hit

him, and he could sleep well.

Today, Dereon was lying in the hospital room when the door suddenly opened. Instead of his familiar

bodyguard, a group of men in suits and leather shoes walked in.

“Who are you? Who let you in? Get out! Where’s the bodyguard? Where’s the bodyguard?” Dereon

shouted.

The man in black brought a chair, and Cullen sat on it relaxingly, saying, “No need to call for Mr.

Hebert, your bodyguard won’t be able to come and protect you for now.”

“Who are you? What do you want?” Dereon asked cautiously as he looked at him.

“I just want to ask a few questions, please cooperate and answer truthfully, Mr. Hebert,” Cullen.

said with a smile.

“Why should I agree to you?” Dereon asked.

“You could refuse, and then my bodyguard would tie you up outside the window until you’re willing to

cooperate. As far as I know, Mr. Hebert’s room is on the seventh floor,” Cullen said.

Dereon broke out in a cold sweat, as he didn’t want to be thrown off the seventh floor.

“It seems Mr.Hebert is ready? Then let’s begin,” Cullen asked, “May I ask, Mr. Hebert, who helped you

kidnap Ms. Spence?”

Dereon was taken aback, These people came for Marie?

“It was… it was her sister… she called me, saying she would send Marie to my bed…”‘

Dereon hesitated and said, while pondering in his mind, What exactly is Marie’s background?

“Is the sister you mentioned Carly?” Cullen asked.

“Yeah, Marie has only this one younger sister, right? Who knows what kind of deep grudges or

+

hatred they have between them; I didn’t ask,” Dereon said.

“Was it Carly who told you to insult Marie?” Cullen asked again.

“She didn’t say it, but I mentioned several times that I was interested in Marie. She even tied someone

to my bed, wasn’t it obvious? Who knew Marie could be so ruthless and stab me?” Dereon

felt like crying.

He originally just wanted to sleep with Marie, but not only did he fail to do so, he even got stabbed.

Now, he didn’t know who was backing Marie up, but they were finding various ways to deal with

him.

“Mr. Hebert, you should be grateful that you only got stabbed once,” Cullen said as he stood up, dusted

off his clothes, and prepared to leave.

“Ah! Who are you guys, really? Did Marie find another backer?”
