The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 

The incident of Olive swearing continued to spread on the Internet, and her fans kept clarifying that she was just emotionally unstable and usually not like this. 

But the fierce woman in the video didn’t look as gentle as usual at all. No matter how fans defended her, there were people who questioned Olive Spence’s persona. 

At the same time, an unknown media which might be bribed leaked a video of Olive beating someone up on the set. [Olive Spence’s persona collapsed] went viral again. 

Because of this matter, the endorsement that was originally competing between Olive and Shirley was firmly in Shirley’s hands. 

Olive immediately ran to Daphne’s place to make trouble. Marie was sitting in Daphne’s office drinking tea. After the last time they had argued, Daphne’s attitude towards her was much better. 

“Ms. Josepy, why did you give the advertisement you promised me last time to Shirley?” Olive 

asked. 

“Olive, you have so much negative news recently. It’s not suitable for you to appear in public so soon. It’s better for you to be quiet for a while.” Daphne comforted her. 

“You want me to disappear from the public? If a female celebrity disappeared for a few days, she would lose her fans, does that mean my ad endorsement will go to that bitch Shirley?” Olive blushed furiously. 

“Not all of them would be given to Shirley, but the other artists in the company. And they can also increase the exposure,” Daphne said. 

Olive roared, “I’m the biggest star in KBK! Why should I give up my resources to others?” 

“It’s up to me to decide whether you’re the best star of KBK or not! Olive, I didn’t bring you to this position today to question my decision!” Daphne was obviously angry. 

What Marie said that day was right. According to Olive’s personality, if she terminated her contract in the future, she would not give any favor to the artists of KBK, and those resources would be 

snatched away without hesitation. 

Olive paused for a moment and said, “Ms. Josepy, that’s not what I meant either. It’s not easy for me to get this position, and if my visibility to the media was reduced, then would not it be a disgrace to you?” 

Seeing that Olive was subdued, Daphne lowered her tone, “Okay, the company is not going to set you aside. It’s just letting you avoid the limelight and lay low. Don’t be nervous. You’ll be fine after a while with an endorsement.” 

“But this endorsement…” Olive still wanted to compete with Shirley, because she didn’t want to 

Get Bord 

give the resources to Shirley. 

“Sister, Ms. Josepy has already said so. Don’t make things difficult for her. This endorsement is not an international brand. So what if it is given to Shirley?” Marie sat on the sofa and spoke. 

Only then did Olive realize that there was another woman in the office. She stared at her coldly and said, “Marie, just you wait!” 

Marie smiled nonchalantly, “Of course, I’ll wait and see you come to die just like your disappointing sister!” 

“Marie Spence!” Olive strode over and wanted to teach her a lesson. But Marie picked up the teacup next to her and splashed a cup of water on Olive. 

Olive’s hair was dripping with water, and a few pieces of tea were hanging on her body. She looked 

so messy. 

“Ah! Sister, you really don’t get along with all kinds of water resources!” Marie smiled. 

“Marie Spence!” Olive jumped in anger. 

“Enough! 

“With all the noise all day!” Daphne scolded. 

“Ms. Josepy…” Olive intended to complain. 

“All right, you should pack up and go back to rest. You’re tired these days.” Daphne sent Olive away. 

Olive was puzzled. A few days ago, Daphne was still obedient to her and treated her like a Buddha, but now she suddenly was in Marie’s favor. 

She glared at Marie and left the office helplessly. 

Daphne glanced at Marie and continued the topic they hadn’t finished talking about, “You just joined the company a few days ago and you want to lead your own artists?” 

“Ms. Josepy, you taught me well. I’ve learned a lot in just a few days,” said Marie slowly. 

“Okay, who do you want to take with you?” Daphne asked her. 

“I heard that some of the female celebrities in KBK have been suppressed by Olive all these years. Can you pick one for me?” Marie poured herself another glass of water. 

Daphne picked and chose the documents at her desk, took out one, and handed it to her, saying, “Sophia Bradley, not young anymore, she had married and should have retired, but she wanted to make a comeback in the past two years. The audience doesn’t like these old people now, and there is no hope of making a comeback. You try it, no harm if you can’t.” 

After flipping through the document, Marie asked, “Didn’t she starred as the Noble Consort in Palace in early years? Did not she marry into a rich family? Why did she want to make a comeback?” 

“I heard that she has been a full-time housewife for too many years, and her husband despises her, and she has no children. Her husband has a mistress outside, and he wants to divorce her.” 

Daphne said. She had seen a lot of upper-class things and had been used to it for a long time. 

“Okay, then let’s give her a try.” After leaving the company with the documents, Marie called 

Sophia and made an appointment to meet at the cafe. 

After waiting for twenty minutes, a middle-aged woman appeared in the cafe. She was wearing a plain dress, and she was a little fat. She didn’t look good and didn’t put much makeup on. The passersby couldn’t recognize that she was the noblewoman back then. 

Sophia sat down awkwardly and asked, “You’re Ms. Spence, right? Ms. Josepy told me that you’ll guide me from now on.” 

Marie nodded and asked, “Ms. Bradley, if you don’t mind, please tell me your basic information. Tell me everything you could say.” 

Sophia began to ramble on about her life after marriage. She was dedicated to taking care of her 

family and stopped showing her face in public. It was not easy for her to get pregnant and have a 

miscarriage. Over the years, her husband had lost interest in her and had a woman outside. 

Gradually, he cut off her financial resources and even suggested a divorce. 

“May I ask why you made a comeback?” asked Marie. 

“I want to make money and be independent! I want to show that man that even though I can’t have a baby, I can live well without him and the baby!” Sophia clenched her fists. 

“Okay, I’ve found you a yoga teacher and a foreign language teacher. You don’t have to do anything for this month. Just focus on your figure, focus on fashion, and practice French well. I’ll check it 

after a month.” Marie handed her the teacher’s business card. 

“I am not going to do anything? And not going to take on advertising jobs?” Sophia was hesitant. 

“You can only take advertisements for pregnant women now. Listen to me, go on a diet, pay 

attention to your manners, and change yourself first. There will be advertisements all over the place,” Marie said. 

Sophia could only take the business card and leave. When Marie returned to the company, she ran into Olive and Shirley, and the two were quarreling again. 

To be precise, it was Olive that bullied Shirley single-handedly. 

“Bitch, don’t think that it’s your turn to be the biggest star just because I’m in trouble now!” Olive 

growled. 

“Olive Spence, don’t go too far. I am not the one who caused your accident!” Shirley argued. 

While the two were arguing, Olive raised her hand to slap Shirley, but was stopped by Marie. She smiled and said, “Sister, you should change your bad habit of hitting people.” 

“It’s none of your business!” Olive shook off her hand. 

“It has nothing to do with me, but she’s right. She didn’t cause your trouble. It’s all my fault.” Marie tilted her head and smiled sinisterly. 

Olive was furious at the mention of this matter. She had been doing well in the entertainment 

industry. Who would have thought that Marie would be set up by this little girl? 

“Don’t get cocky, Marie Spence. I heard that you’ve taken Sophia to try to make that old hag famous. Let’s see how you’ll end up!” Olive said. 

“Okay, please wait and see.” Marie smiled. 

Olive’s assistant was afraid of offending Daphne, so she hurriedly pulled Olive away.
