Chapter 166
Marie had a headache from anger and said, “Now the whole country knows that you’ve claimed you’ll win the
best actor award. Apart from your fans defending you online, there’s just a wave of sarcasm. If you don’t win
the best actor, people will laugh at you until next year!”
Darwin threw his phone, leaned back on the couch, wrapped himself in his robe, and said, “You never know, I acted so well, what if I actually win? At that time, I’ll make all these people’s faces swell up!”
Marie was rendered speechless.
“Can you just get the best actor award whenever you want? Where does this inexplicable confidence come
from?”
“How about we find some news to suppress this matter?” Darwin approached Marie sneakily and said.
Marie glanced at him and asked, “What news?”
“That kind of explosive news…” Darwin said quietly.
“For example?” Marie raised her eyebrows at him.
“For example… news about me having a girlfriend…” Darwin said tentatively.

Marie picked up the pillow beside her, threw it at his head, and scolded, “Stop thinking about hitting on
Sasha!”
Darwin hugged his pillow, scratched his head, and said, “What’s wrong with me that you have to stop me?”
Marie glanced at him helplessly, “This isn’t about whether you’re okay or not, this is about Sasha’s career
possibly being ruined. It’s not just about you, I can’t possibly use Sasha as a shield for you.”
Darwin stood up, rubbed his hair, and said, “So, should I go ask Sasha and just get it clarified?”
Marie was rendered speechless.
Marie grabbed him firmly, “Stop! Don’t be ridiculous!”
Darwin was now surrounded by rumors, but he didn’t care at all. His mind was full of thoughts about Sasha.
However, it was really hard to say what Sasha was thinking.
Marie was also very troubled by this situation. The difficulty was that she could ignore it, but it would greatly
affect Darwin’s public image. However, if it wasn’t handled well, it would have an even greater impact on his
future career.
Moreover, since someone intentionally recorded the video to harm Darwin, they wouldn’t let Darwin hide and
remain silent.
Indeed, the best way was to create an even bigger news story to overshadow this incident.
Marie had a headache when her assistant called and told her to quickly check Twitter.
Marie got her phone back, and the hot topic on Twitter now was (Sabrina’s Mysterious Man at the Night
Party.]

Marie was taken aback, clicked on the Twitter content, and saw a very blurry photo of Sabrina holding hands
with a man, talking about something.
Although they were all wearing duckbill caps, it was still clear that it was indeed Sabrina herself.
It’s important to know that ever since Sabrina starred in the TV series The Autumn Tragedy and became a
rising young star, she gradually climbed to the status of a B-list celebrity. Many people admired this sweet
and lovely girl.
Some even compared Sabrina to Carly back then, as Carly was also going for the innocent and adorable
image. If it weren’t for her recklessly messing with Marie, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament.
Sabrina had always been single, but suddenly, photos of her attending a party with a man surfaced. Many
people speculated that he was her non-celebrity boyfriend, and the internet was buzzing with lively discussions. The attention completely overshadowed Darwin’s brave words about winning the best actor
award.
Darwin came over to look at the news and said, “This news came at just the right time. I don’t need to clarify
anything, and this matter is now in the past.”
Marie took Darwin’s phone, edited a tweet, and sent it out: [When I get drunk, I talk a lot. I hope those of you
with cameras can be kind enough to take fewer shots of my embarrassing moments.]
Marie’s paid supporters, carrying momentum, commented on Twitter, and Darwin’s public image quickly turned into that of a drunken rambling victim, who was caught by someone with an agenda and used as
news to create a scene.
Additionally, with the fans’ crazy support, the Darwin incident was temporarily resolved, and the online discussions focused more on Sabrina’s situation.
Darwin, seeing that he was fine, sent a Telegram to Sabrina, asking her what had actually happened.
Sabrina replied that they were just ordinary friends and the media had exaggerated the situation. KBK didn’t pay much attention to this matter and would soon officially deny that Sabrina had a boyfriend. They also advised Darwin to take this opportunity to suppress any rumors about himself.
Darwin knew that he had borrowed Sabrina’s matter to prevent the situation of competing for the best actor from escalating. He expressed his gratitude to Sabrina and promised to treat her to a meal another day.
Olive was so angry that she smashed the computer on the table. She had gone through great lengths to bribe –someone on The Pianist production team. She tricked and got Darwin drunk, then filmed this video.
I thought I could take this opportunity to give Marie a good blow, but who would have thought that a scandal involving Sabrina would emerge halfway through, taking away all the attention. Now, all the media are waiting to stake out Sabrina’s rumored boyfriend, and no one cares about the few words Darwin said when he
was drunk.
Moreover, after Darwin’s tweet was posted and with Marie’s supporters’ efforts, Darwin appeared to be a victim. If Olive continued to make a fuss, it would indeed seem like someone was deliberately trying to frame
Darwin.

This matter was left unresolved, as Marie made Darwin promise repeatedly not to bother Sasha. After Darwin agreed, Marie left the Robert residence.
As they were leaving, they ran into Andres who was returning at the doorway. Andres greeted her with a
smile, “Marie, long time no see.”
