The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Becoming the Ace Manager 

“Are you alright?” Noel asked. 

Marie hurriedly stood up, straightened her hair, and said, “It’s okay, thank you, 

Noel.” 

Carly, in a fit of anger, rushed over to hit Marie. Noel stepped in, shielding Marie behind him, and said somewhat angrily, “Enough! Haven’t you caused enough trouble?” 

“No way! I’m your real sister! Instead of helping me, you’re protecting this bitch! I’m telling Mom!” Carly cried as she ran away. 

Noel rubbed his brow helplessly and turned to Marie, saying, “Carly is young and naive, please be more understanding.” 

Marie chuckled and said, “Sorry, I can’t be considerate.” 

Noel didn’t quite catch it and asked, “What did you say?” 

“Is Carly really that young? We’re practically the same age, so why should I be considerate of her?” Marie said, looking at Noel. 

“There’s no point in clashing with her head–on; everyone at home spoils her,” Noel said. 

“Who knows if there are any benefits? Maybe if I drive her out of the Spence mansion, all that pampering will be mine,” Marie said with a playful smirk. 

“Marie, don’t go too far,” Noel said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Marie’s behavior was 

becoming too aggressive. 

“Is it too much? Maybe not,” Marie said as she squatted down to help Noel pick up the documents. She caught a glimpse of the words “Olive Entertainment” in the files. 

“Olive is starting a company?” Marie asked. 

“No, it’s just a studio under the Spence Group, to help her advance her career,” Noel said, taking 

the documents. 

“Does Olive really deserve Dad to open a subsidiary for her?” Marie asked. 

“Marie, Olive is the most popular celebrity in the country, and it’s only a matter of time before Carly enters the entertainment industry as well. Starting a media company for them is inevitable, especially since our family can easily afford it,” Noel said. 

Marie smiled and said, “I don’t understand these things, I’ll head out first.” 

Noel watched the girl’s retreating figure, her long legs and graceful posture, her elegant and charming silhouette. This Marie was truly different from the timid, submissive Marie of the past 

who dared not speak up.

Marie hailed a cab and headed to the real estate office. Along the way, she couldn’t help but wonder just how unloved Marie had been in the Spence family. 

Noel is the future heir of the Spence Group, Olive is the country’s top superstar, and Carly is the princess of the family. Each of them shines brightly in their own way. However, Marie is quite the opposite – she’s meek, submissive, and seemingly incapable. So much so that many people don’t even know that the Spence family has a member like Marie. 

Now, Mason is working on expanding Olive’s career and paving the way for Carly to enter the entertainment industry in the future. He plans to set up a subsidiary specifically for the two of them. However, he seems to have no concern for what Marie will do in the future. 

The only person who ever asked this question was, surprisingly, Dennis. 

The weather was lovely that day, with birds chirping all around. As they sat by the chessboard, Dennis glanced at her casually and asked, “What major do you plan to study, Marie?” 

Marie gave a bitter smile, realizing that the only person who cared about her future now seemed unwilling to even speak with her. 

She flipped through Marie’s old diary, where Marie wrote that she didn’t want to be a superstar, but rather a behind–the–scenes manager. Her goal was to help those girls with dreams transform into more beautiful and confident versions of themselves, guiding them to the pinnacle of their lives. 

It seems that this dream is quite appealing now. After being an Ace Killer, it wouldn’t be bad to become a top–notch manager. 

During her time as an assassin, she had undergone extensive training and education, including acting lessons. Rodger Group never cultivated mechanical assassins; she could effortlessly transform into a fashionable lady, speaking fluent French and gracefully dancing in the ballroom. She could also become a beggar on the street, with passersby tossing her a few dollars.
