The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 100

Afterwards, they all laughed disdainfully. They had never heard of this Marls Entertainment. It must be an unknown company. They assumed that Darwin must have been released from his 

contract with Global Medias, which led him to join such a small company. 

“Since all the major media outlets are here, let’s resolve this issue today,” Marie said, turning to 

Carly and asking, “May I ask, Ms. Carly, what is the reason for demanding an apology from Mr. 

Darwin?” 

Carly met Marie’s gaze, feeling a bit flustered. Marie was too confident, which scared her. But 

things had already reached this point, and there was no turning back! 

Carly pointed at the screen and said, “On the day of Drama Feast, Darwin barged into my room, 

trying to… trying to…” 

Before she could finish speaking, she covered her mouth and sobbed softly. The reporters and 

audience present couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her. 

Marie remained calm and said, “Alright, I understand. Carly mentioned that Darwin entered your room and attempted misconduct, causing great harm to your physical and mental well-being, is 

that correct?” 

Carly nodded, without saying anything. 

Marie said, “This issue is indeed not a small matter. However, coincidentally, I have also obtained a very complete surveillance footage. Please, everyone, take another look.” 

Marie deliberately emphasized the words “very complete” as she handed the thumb drive to the staff. Afterward, the video was played on the projection screen. 

Carly saw the video and sneered inwardly, thinking that there was no difference between this video and hers. Her video wasn’t fake, and no matter how many times she watched it, it remained the 

same! 

However, the video suddenly had some noise. Then, clear conversation sounds came through. 

From the moment Darwin was kicked out of the room and Carly ran out wrapped in a towel, the 

conversation began. 

In the video, Darwin, still confused and buttoning up his shirt, asked, “Why is it you? Where’s 

Sasha?” 

Carly sobbed and said, “What, Sasha? What are you talking about!” 

Darwin reluctantly tidied up the clothes and asked, “Isn’t this Sasha’s room? How come you’re 

here?” 

Carly pointed at him and yelled, “Darwin, you jerk! You actually molested me!” 

Darwin was taken aback and yelled back, “Are you fucking crazy? I’m blind, why would I care to harass you?” 

At that moment, Carly’s assistant ran over, comforting Carly, and then hurriedly urged Darwin to 

leave. Darwin took out his phone, making a call while walking towards the stairs. In the video, a faint voice could be heard saying, “Sasha, where are you?” 

At this point, the video ended, and Carly’s face turned pale. She didn’t understand why Marle’s video had sound. Wasn’t surveillance footage supposed to be silent? 

The reporter was also stunned. So, Darwin intended to harass not Carly, but Sasha? And he 

accidentally hurt Carly instead? 

What was Marie here for today? To tell them that Darwin liked Sasha? 

Marie turned to Carly and said, “I have two questions for you, Ms. Carly. Please answer them for 

me.” 

“What’s the problem…” Carly swallowed hard, feeling that Marie wouldn’t let her off so easily. 

“First, you said Darwin barged into the room and pulled your towel, but why in the video, he explicitly said he came to the room looking for Sasha?” 

did 

“Secondly, if Darwin, an adult man, was determined to assault you and pulled at your towel, how 

you manage to break free from him without any help and force him out of the room?” Marie 

asked, waiting for Carly’s response. 

Not only Marie, but everyone was waiting for Carly’s response. Marie’s two questions made them 

realize many details they had previously overlooked. 

Carly hesitated to speak, so Marie said, “Shall I answer for you? It’s actually quite simple, because you’re lying. Darwin didn’t harass you at all. He really went to look for Sasha, but found you in the room instead. He immediately left the room without you having to drive him away. Is that right?” 

“No! No, it wasn’t… it wasn’t like that… Darwin thought I was Sasha… so he tried to get fresh with me… I screamed, and then he realized he had mistaken me for someone else… That’s why he left! That’s what happened! That’s what happened!” 

Carly immediately made up a new story, her face showing terror, as if she had been greatly frightened. 

‘So Ms. Carly admitted that Darwin didn’t go to look for you?” Marie asked. 

“No, he went to look for Sasha! I don’t know what their relationship is, but he mistook someone else for them!” 

Get Bogus 

Carly stuttered, saying she couldn’t handle everything anymore. All she wanted was to destroy Darwin, and by doing so, she could destroy Sasha. Wasn’t Marie the boss? She would destroy them 

all together! 

Unexpectedly, the situation took such a turn, leaving the reporters shocked. Wasn’t Darwin intentionally harassing Carly? So, he was actually going to the room to look for Sasha? What was the relationship between him and Sasha? 

“Excuse me, Ms. Spence, what was the relationship between Darwin and Sasha?” 

“Did Darwin and Sasha have an inappropriate relationship?” 

“Did they want to make their relationship public? Or was there some other hidden reason?” 

“Did you know about this kind of situation between artists, as a boss?” 

“Did Sasha speak up for Darwin because they were in a romantic relationship? Or was it because Darwin had a backer like Andres?” 

The reporters were chattering and asking questions. Marie raised her hand, signaling everyone to calm down, and said, “First of all, Darwin and Sasha have a normal working relationship within the company, and there is no inappropriate relationship between them. Please do not misunderstand. 

As for why Darwin went to Sasha’s room that night, please take a look at the projection screen.” 

A text message from an unknown number was projected onto the screen, showing a message sent that night: [I am Sasha, I am in the bathroom of Room 0523, save me!] 

“This was the text message Darwin received that night. He mistakenly thought that something had happened to Sasha, so he hurried to the room without having time to verify Sasha’s room number. 

In fact, Sasha’s room that night was 0532. It was later confirmed that Sasha had never sent any text messages to Darwin, nor had she ever entered any bathroom. So, someone deliberately sent a text message to lure Darwin to room 0523!” 

Marie analyzed the situation logically, and with the help of the text message photo displayed on the projection screen and the room registration list of the artists that night, it was confirmed that Sasha was indeed in room 0532. 

“Ms. Spence, were you implying that Ms. Carly framed Mr. Darwin?” a reporter immediately asked. 

Marie hooked her lips. The journalist she had bribed finally stood up with momentum. 

Carly immediately said, “I didn’t! I didn’t send a text! How could I possibly do something like that?” 

Marie laughed and asked, “You don’t have one, so what about your assistant?” 

Marie looked at the assistant standing next to Carly and smiled slightly, “We have found out that the identity card used to purchase the mysterious phone number belongs to your assistant. This 

assistant can be said to have masterminded the plot to frame Darwin, and Maris Entertainment will 

assistant 

sue her for libel immediately!” 

The assistant panicked. She just took the money to get things done, she didn’t want to go to jail! 

She cried out in fear, “It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me! Carly made me do it! It wasn’t me! Don’t tell on 

me!” 

Carly stood up and pushed her to the ground, “Why did you do this to me? When did I ever ask you to do such a thing?” 

She turned around and pointed at Marie, exasperated, “Marie! This video is fake! Where did you get it from? How could there be sound? It must be fake!” 

She couldn’t believe it. This hotel was owned by the Hebert family, with the Spence family also holding shares. She had given strict orders not to leak the surveillance footage, so how could Marie possibly have gotten the video! 

The projection screen displayed another photo, clearly showing that York Hotel’s ownership belonged to the Hebert family. 

Marie nonchalantly said, “York Hotel was owned by the Hebert family, which means it belonged to your fiancé. So, naturally, Ms. Carly could stay wherever she wanted and get any surveillance. footage she desired. We weren’t supposed to have access to it, but as it happens, York Hotel was sold by Hebert Group a week ago. That’s why I was able to obtain the genuine surveillance footage. As for the audio, I’d like to thank my company’s technical staff for enhancing the clarity and even 

extracting the audio.” 

The so-called technical staff… actually, it was Marie who sent the video to Kate across the Pacific 

Ocean… asking her to make the audio clearer… 

After greeting her entire family, Kate casually gossiped about the matter, saying that the entertainment industry was quite interesting. 

The entire audience was shocked, including all the viewers watching the live stream on the live stream channel. No one could have imagined such a huge twist in the event. 

So, Carly instructed her assistant to lure Darwin into the room, Darwin fell for it, and Carly framed him for assaulting her? 

[Everyone… was this really not a movie shoot? Carly was such a great actress, wasn’t she? The whole internet was fighting for justice for her, but it turned out to be a ploy she came up with herself?] 

[So Darwin didn’t touch her at all? No wonder Darwin said he would have to be blind to harass her…].. 

[This woman was so terrifying, she made up such a huge drama by herself. Drama Feast owed her a
