The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 

The sentence came through the microphone, causing the audience to chuckle. Sasha also laughed 

awkwardly, as she was too nervous and had forgotten how to maintain a smile in front of the camera. 

Sasha adjusted her emotions, took a deep breath, and the host kindly smiled, saying, “Our new Best Actress 

is a bit too excited, let’s take it slow!” 

There was another round of cheers from the audience. Sasha smiled and gave a slight bow to the host, 

thanking them for helping out. Then, she turned back to the microphone and faced the camera to deliver her 

acceptance speech. 

“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the judges for their recognition, and to my fans for their understanding and love. I will continue to work hard and dedicate better works to everyone. Lastly, I 

especially want to thank my boss, Ms. Spence!” 

Sasha nodded slightly towards Marie, who was sitting in the front row, and said, “It was Ms. Spence who 

believed in me and strongly recommended me for the main character role in the TV show back then. And 

now, it’s also Ms. Spence who has put in so much effort and resources to create Double Sided for me. 

Without Ms. Spence, there would be no Sasha standing on the stage of performing arts today. This award is 

very significant, but half of the credit should go to Ms. Spence!” 

The applause from the audience was thunderous. Marie’s eyes were stinging, and as she faced the camera 

and the tens of thousands of people watching the live broadcast, she couldn’t help but wipe away her tears 

with a smile. 

At first, the wholehearted support for Sasha was to establish their own business, to undermine Olive and 

Carly, and to secure a foothold in the Spence family 

It may sound harsh, but every artist was just a pawn in Marie’s hands. She hoped to make the right move 

every step of the way in order to win in the end. 

However, as time went by, Sasha had unknowingly become her best friend and closest confidante. She 

couldn’t bear to see Sasha suffer any grievances or harm in this complicated and chaotic entertainment 

industry. 

So she tried her best to fight for resources for Sasha, maintain Sasha’s image, and stop Darwin’s enthusiasm. 

As a friend, they should protect her dreams. 

And now, she had finally helped Sasha achieve the Best Actress title. The girl who once stood on the high 

school drama club stage wearing a princess gown had finally realized her acting dream. 

The camera shifted to Marie as Sasha spoke. Marie stood up, took the microphone handed to her by the 

staff, looked at Sasha on stage, and said, “We achieved this together. Congratulations, my best actress, you truly deserve it!” 

Cheers erupted from the audience, and Sasha shed tears. Andres kindly helped Sasha off the stage and 

escorted her to her seat. 

After sitting down, Marie wiped away Sasha’s tears and said, “All right, stop crying, don’t let the media make 

fun of us.” 

Sasha sniffed and laughed, saying, “Who made you so sentimental, talking about ‘your best actress’!” 

Marie laughed and said, “Weren’t you the one who got emotional first? That long award acceptance speech 

could have been turned into a short essay!” 

Darwin sat nearby and scoffed, ‘Women! So melodramatic!” 

Sasha glared at him and said, “It’s none of your business!” 

Olive and Shirley, who were sitting behind, had no trace of a smile on their faces. Only when the camera 

panned over did the two of them force a slight smile to maintain their image, so as not to be accused by the 

media of being jealous of Sasha. 

At that moment, the live stream channel was in chaos, as Sasha’s fans completely took over the live stream. 

channel, even overshadowing Darwin’s fangirls. 

One commented: [Ah! My Sasha is the best actress!] 

Another wrote: [Debut movie queen! Who else!] 

One wrote: [Sasha was so touching! It made me cry!] 

Another commented. [To celebrate Sasha becoming the best actress, I decided to eat a pack of beef jerky!] 

One wrote: [Add one more pack, the person commenting above!] 

Another wrote: [What kind of amazing friendship do Sasha and Mr. Spence have!] 

One commented: [Good corporation? What kind of man do you need? You two should just be together!] 

Another commented: [Thank you, Ms. Spence, for taking care of my Sasha!] 

One wrote: [I decided to abandon the Darsha couple and started liking the Masha couple instead!] 

Another wrote: [Was I the only one who thought it was too tragic for Shirley to be merely nominated for three 

years?] 

One commented: [What the person above commented made sense… but what does it have to do with us 

Sashie?] 

Sasha had her own fan club called Sashie, which was quite lively. They did a lot of promotion for Sasha’s 

movies and TV shows. 

Sasha held her trophy and whispered to Marie. The photographer was considerate, occasionally panning the 

camera over both Marie and Sasha. 

Although Marie wasn’t a celebrity, her beauty was always on point. She already had a group of fans on Twitter who admired her looks. This time, she even won a Best Actress award, causing her fan base to grow 

even more 

As the camera panned over the two people, the comments in the live stream channel became lively once 

again.
