Chapter 117
Dennis looked up, “Hmm?”
“Would Mia cheat on my dad?” Marie asked, biting her fork and grinning.
Dennis looked at her helplessly, “Your dad was cheated on, and you seem quite happy about it?”
Marie nodded, “Of course I’d be happy. If that were really the case, I wouldn’t have to bother. My dad would kick her out of the house himself.”
Dennis glanced at her helplessly, “What do you want to do?”
Marie looked at Dennis with a mischievous grin and said, “I know Cullen has quite a few people under him. Can you ask him to lend me a couple to investigate Mia?”
Dennis sighed and said, “Just two of them, Cullen didn’t raise these people to be paparazzi.”
Marie nodded and submissively served food to Dennis.
Regardless of whether we could find anything, we should at least try searching first. Who knows, we might actually find some clues or traces that could help drive Mia away!
Marie had been busy for two days with Zane’s concert, while Shirley once again went to the production team to cause trouble.
When the assistant called Marie and said that Sasha was also injured, Marie immediately rushed over. Sasha was sitting in her seat, and Marie ran up to her and asked, “Are you okay? Where are you hurt?”
Sasha shook her head and said, “It’s fine. When Shirley pushed Sabrina, she accidentally knocked me down too, and I just hit my head a little. It’s nothing serious.”
Marie examined the injury, and Sasha’s forehead was red and swollen, with some blood seeping out. It did indeed look like just a superficial wound, and the assistant said that a doctor had already been called to come and bandage it.
But Sasha was an actor, and their livelihood depended on their appearance. Marie was a bit angry, so she went to find the director and asked, “What is Shirley doing? Why is she repeatedly causing trouble for the production team?”
The director waved his hand helplessly and said, “So it’s just that Sabrina took her resources, and now she has no job and won’t let Sabrina work properly.”
Marie turned to look at Shirley, who was still ranting and raving. “Sabrina, do you think I can’t deal with you? You dare to steal my things, just you wait and see!”
Sabrina stood up and said, “I didn’t steal anything! It was clearly because someone exposed your indiscreet private life that Ms. Josepy didn’t arrange any work for you and asked you to stay quiet
for a while!”
“Bitch! Who are you calling unrestrained? When was it your turn to criticize?”
Shirley got angry and rushed over to slap Sabrina, but Marie stopped her.
Upon seeing it was Marie, Shirley laughed and said, “Is it you?
Marie looked at her coldly. “It’s been a long time, Shirley. You’ve changed a lot, not like when you
were bullied by Olive and didn’t dare to speak.”
Shirley awkwardly hid her smile and snorted, “I just didn’t bother arguing with your shrewish sister. Do you really think I’m afraid of her?”
“Since you’re not afraid, go settle the score with her. It was Olive who exposed your private life, not Sabrina. Why bother flaunting your power here?” Marie said.
Shirley glanced at Marie, then at Sabrina, and covered her mouth as she laughed, “Oh, Sabrina, I didn’t see that coming. You’ve latched onto Marie so quickly? What happened? Aren’t you into KBK anymore? Are you planning to switch sides?”
Sabrina nervously rubbed her hands and said, “No, I didn’t……..’
In the entertainment industry, being half-hearted towards an entertainment company was a big
taboo. One could easily be cast aside by the company When Shirley said this, Sabrina didn’t dare to
admit it.
Originally, Darwin didn’t have any scenes today, but he came over when he heard that Sasha was injured. When he arrived, he saw a group of people arguing in front of him. Sasha was lying on the table, listless, with a bruise on her forehead.
Marie looked at Shirley and said, “I’m not interested in getting involved in your KBK disputes. If you can’t accept it, settle it privately. Don’t cause trouble in the production team and affect the filming progress. Moreover, you’ve hurt someone close to me.”
Shirley glanced at Sasha and said, “It was just a little bump, right? Was it really that big of a deal?”
Marie raised the corner of her mouth, “Last time Carly didn’t hurt Sasha, did you see what
happened to her? If you didn’t, I can help you review it.”
Shirley pursed her lips, not daring to speak. She didn’t know the extent of Marie’s capabilities, but up until now, she had never seen Marie at a loss.
Since she met Marie, Marie had embarrassed Olive, caused her to lose endorsements, helped Sophia Bradley make a successful comeback, promoted Sasha and Zane, saved Darwin, and even managed to kick Carly and Dereon out of the entertainment industry forever.
Shirley turned to Sabrina and sneered, “You like to steal, don’t you? Just wait!”
Sabrina sobbed and said, “What’s the big deal! It’s just having a backer!”
Shirley laughed, “I do have a backer, what can you do about it?”
Darwin pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, hands in his pockets and looking at her sideways, “Who is your backer? Daring to cause trouble? I bet you don’t want to be in the entertainment industry anymore.”
Darwin was very angry, for no apparent reason, when he saw the swollen wound on Sasha’s
forehead and the streaks of blood oozing out.
Shirley was taken aback, as Darwin was a notorious tyrant in the entertainment industry, someone
you wouldn’t want to mess with.
Shirley awkwardly laughed but before she could speak, they heard Sasha’s assistant calling out. Marie and the others rushed over to find Sasha lying unconscious on the ground.
Darwin crouched down to check on Sasha and shouted, “What are you looking at? Call an
ambulance!”
He picked up Sasha and ran outside, with Marie following behind. At this point, he couldn’t care less about the trivial matters between Shirley and Sabrina; Sasha was the most important.
After the ambulance arrived, Darwin and Marie followed it to the hospital. The doctor took Sasha
for a CT scan, and the two of them could only wait outside.
After waiting for half an hour, the doctor finally came out. Darwin rushed over and asked, “How is she? Is she alright:
The doctor removed his mask and said, “Don’t worry, the patient just hit their head, there’s bleeding in the subcutaneous tissue, and a mild concussion. They should wake up soon.”
Marie asked nervously, “Does she need to be hospitalized? Is there anything else we should be
aware of?”
The doctor nodded and said, “It would be best to be hospitalized for a week, after all, she injured
her head. Alternatively, she could go home to rest after the examination results come out. When
she wakes up, she might feel dizzy and nauseous, which are normal symptoms of a concussion.
There’s no need to panic, but she shouldn’t engage in any strenuous activities in the near future. It’s best for her to stay in bed and rest.”
Sasha was sent to the hospital room, while Zane called her to discuss the concert guest matter. Marie had to leave first, and Darwin went to the hospital room alone.
Sasha lay quietly in the hospital bed. She didn’t look masculine at all; in fact, she was quite beautiful and had a strong, elegant appearance. Unlike the common plastic faces found in the entertainment industry, she had a unique look.
Get Bots
Usually, she would constantly bicker and make a fuss with Darwin, and Darwin didn’t know when he had gotten used to Sasha’s tantrums and outbursts. Now, as she suddenly lay there, unusually quiet, Darwin actually felt a bit uneasy.
He stayed in the hospital room all afternoon. In the evening, when Sasha finally woke up and saw Darwin, she asked, “Where are we?”
