The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

Darwin smacked his lips and said, “Sure, that’s ruthless enough!” 

Marie looked at Luca and said, “Go and get Darwin admitted to the hospital, just say it’s…. gastrointestinal hemorrhage!” 

Luca left immediately, and Darwin frowned, “Couldn’t you come up with a better excuse? What the hell is gastrointestinal hemorrhage?” 

Marie glared at him, “Or did you have a concussion too?” 

Darwin waved his hand, “No, I’d rather have gastrointestinal hemorrhage!” 

The next day, it was revealed online that Darwin was hospitalized due to gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by recent work exhaustion and an irregular schedule. 

The internet immediately erupted with countless comments. 

[Wow, Darwin was sick? So they didn’t film it?] 

[My heart ached for Darling Darwin! Gastrointestinal hemorrhage was so painful!] 

[What happened with the The Autumn Tragedy production team? Both the male and female leads encountered issues one after another? Are they going to replace them now?] 

[I didn’t care if there was no Darwin, I just wouldn’t watch it!] 

[On my knees begging the production team to wait for my husband to recover his health before. resuming filming!] 

[I’m also on my knees begging!] 

After all, Darwin was no longer a newcomer. His status in the entertainment industry was rapidly rising, and he was almost considered an A-list male celebrity. He had a frighteningly large number of fans, most of whom were young female fans who were very attracted to Darwin’s good looks. 

Darwin was sick and hospitalized, making it highly likely that he wouldn’t participate in The Autumn Tragedy, leaving fans extremely heartbroken, with many saying that if Darwin wasn’t playing Cassius, they wouldn’t watch the TV series. 

Marie immediately called the production team of The Autumn Tragedy and expressed her apologies in a polite manner. 

The producer asked, “Ms. Spence, what kind of apology is this?” 

Marie was sitting in Sasha’s hospital room, tapping on the table, and said, “Our Darwin has been hospitalized, and the doctor said it would take at least a few months to recover. I’m afraid we won’t be able to continue filming. However, we will compensate for any breach of contract due to the 

injury off set. The production team doesn’t need to worry.” 

The producer was taken aback, “Darwin isn’t filming anymore?” 

Marie nodded understandably, “Our Darwin had a gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and now his little face is pale. He can’t even get out of bed, let alone act in a film!” 

Darwin was lying on the sofa playing games, having a great time, when he heard Marie say that he couldn’t get off the couch now. He rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything. 

The producer became anxious, as Darwin not filming was no small matter. One of the investors had invested in the production team because Darwin was the son of the Robert family and the king of 

Global Medias. They had invested to please Andres. Now that Darwin was not filming, the investor would definitely withdraw their funding! 

The producer said anxiously, “Ms. Spence! We can’t handle it like this! If Darwin doesn’t act, where 

can we find an actor to replace him at the last minute?” 

Marie looked at Darwin and said casually, “It’s not that I don’t want to give face to the production. team, but the production team’s time is precious. Filming a movie only takes three or four months, 

so we can’t wait for Darwin for a whole month, right? 

Moreover, the production team is well-known, and you, the producer, are incredibly talented. Aren’t there plenty of actresses who could replace Sasha in the audition? I believe finding an actor to replace Darwin wouldn’t be a problem for you either!” 

Upon hearing Marie’s words, the producer finally understood that Marie was seeking revenge on them! She had repeated their exact words when they refused to wait for Sasha to recover. 

But at that moment, he really couldn’t find an actor who could replace Darwin! 

The main issue was that Darwin had an investor behind him, so where could they find another investment to fill this gap? 

Moreover, at that time, the TV series started with the popularity of the onscreen couple, Darwin and Sasha. Sasha couldn’t perform due to being hospitalized for an injury, so there was no choice but to 

replace her. Now that Darwin is not acting either, it’s like the entire cast of the TV series has been 

replaced! 

Where could those original audience members, those book fans, and those fans still buy into this? 

Marie didn’t wait for the producer to speak and hung up the phone with a click. She was determined to use Darwin’s backer, Darwin’s popularity, and Darwin’s investors to overpower the production team.

She didn’t believe that without Darwin and this investment, the production team could continue filming. 

Olive was willing to spend money to let Shirley join the team with funding and change roles, how much more money could be spent to keep the production team running smoothly? 

Darwin was sprawled on the sofa playing a game, glanced at Marie, and said, “What do we do now? Wait for the producer to change their mind?” 

Marie nodded and said, “Yes, wait for the production team to invite you both back!” 

Darwin shrugged and said, “I don’t care. If Sasha can’t go back, I don’t want to work with Olive 

either.” 

Sasha sighed helplessly, hoping that Marie’s strategy would work, as she didn’t want to lose this 

role. 

In the evening, Marie went to Glorious Estate to see Dennis. Earlier that day, Dennis had called her, 

saying he needed to talk to her and asked her to come over in the evening. 

When Marie arrived at Glorious Estate, Dennis was already sitting in the living room waiting for 

her. Seeing her come in, he asked, “Have you eaten?” 

Marie shook her head, “No, Sasha could only drink oatmeal every day at the hospital, and I don’t 

want to drink oatmeal.” 

Dennis waved, and Marie sat down beside him. Dennis naturally wrapped his arm around her waist and asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll take you there.” 

Marie turned her head to look around the dining hall and asked, “Didn’t Melissa come to cook?” 

Dennis shook his head, “No, let’s go out to eat.” 

Marie nodded, “Alright, how about Fairy Restaurant?” 

Dennis pulled her close and gave her a kiss, saying, “Let me finish up with this stuff, and you can. entertain yourself for a bit.” 

Marie said helplessly, “I’m not a child, you don’t need to accompany me.” 

Dennis laughed and said, “Please take a look at the magazine yourself, Ms. Spence, and wait for me 

for a moment.” 

Marie was nestled in a corner of the couch, browsing through recent news on her phone, while Dennis sat next to her, opening a video, seemingly starting a video conference. 

Dennis spoke fluent French, probably discussing business expansion in France or something like 

that. 

Marie asked, “Will it bother you? Should I go back to my room?” 

Dennis turned to look at her and asked, “Are you going to change clothes later?” 

In the video, all the senior executives were shocked; they were just used to speaking French, not 

that they didn’t know English! 

There was a woman at the usually aloof Dennis’ house? 

Marie nodded, “Should we change it? The smell of disinfectant was really strong when I came back from the hospital.” 

Dennis nodded, “Let’s go back to the room to change, and after the meeting, I’ll take you out for 

dinner.” 

Marie obediently got up and returned to her room, and then Dennis turned his head back to continue the meeting. 

Watching the shocked expressions on the faces of the senior executives, Dennis was speechless. Was it really so wrong for him to have a girlfriend? 

In fact, for the senior executives, it wasn’t that they shouldn’t have a woman, but rather they shouldn’t have had a woman so suddenly. 

A senior executive who had just recently joined Whitney Group hesitated for a long time before asking, “Mr. Whitney, are you married?” 

Dennis rubbed his brow helplessly and said, “No.” 

The senior executives finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, their elusive CEO did not 

suddenly elope. 

After the meeting, Dennis knocked on Marie’s door. Marie opened the door and stepped out, asking, 

“Is it over?” 

Dennis nodded, put on his coat, and said, “Let’s go, time to eat.” 

Two people drove to Fairy Restaurant and went to the private room that Dennis often visited. Once the dishes were served, Marie was starving and didn’t care about Dennis, so she started eating. 

When they were almost done eating, Marie remembered that Dennis had something to tell her. Marie asked, “You said you had something to talk to me about, what is it?” 

Dennis handed her a document, indicating for her to open it. 

Marte opened the file and was shocked to find a contract for Whitney Group’s investment in The Autumn Tragedy production team! 

Marie was taken aback, flipped through the contract, and confirmed once again that it was indeed the production team for The Autumn Tragedy. She asked, “You want to invest in The Autumn Tragedy? Why?” 

Dennis glanced at her and said, “Weren’t you using Darwin’s investors to pressure the production 

Get Boys ~_-_) 

team? Let me help you add some weight to that.” 

Marie became even more confused, “Add what kind of weights?” 

Dennis pointed to the document and said, “Whitney Group is now the biggest investor in The Autumn Tragedy, which means, I can choose whichever actor I want to use.” 

Marie was stunned, “This investment, was it for me to take Sasha back?” 

“It’s not like that,” Dennis shook his head, “I did it for you. As for who you want to use, I don’t
