The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 

Originally, the film crew might change people because of Sophia Bradley’s injury. Dennis’s intervention delayed the filming for half a month until Sophia was discharged from the hospital. 

Perhaps it was because Marie had taught Carly Spence lesson in public last time, Carly behaved herself. The entire crew knew that Marie was the Ms. Spence of the Spence family, and they were much more polite to her and Sophia. 

Sophia’s final scene was self-destruct. 

Together with her crew, Marie checked the shooting site and the props three times to make sure there was nothing wrong before she started shooting. 

After finishing the final shooting scene along with the post-production, Sophia stood in the fire in red. She smiled miserably and said, “I can’t be the Empress. On the day of my wedding, I thought I was going to be your wife.” 

The fire engulfed the palace. The emperor cried overwhelmed by grief outside the palace gate, and the first Empress died. 

It was just a short part in the previous scene. Carly had just begun her role as the female leading role, and Sophia had already finished filming. 

Sophia was just a supporting character and didn’t have a farewell party. However, she was kind and 

asked her assistant to buy small gifts for the crew. 

On the day when Marie left the crew with Sophia, Carly dressed up nicely and mocked, “It’s only been a few days, and you’re leaving? That is the supporting role!” 

Sophia looked at Marie and didn’t say anything. Marie smiled and stared at Carly, saying, “Carly, 

you really have the ability to annoy people!” 

Carly walked over with the hem of her skirt in her hand and said, “In New York, as well as the 

entertainment industry, I have the Spence family as my backer. I also have my elder sister and 

brother to protect me. Who do you think you are?” 

Marie burst out laughing. “Olive can’t even protect herself. How can she protect you? I’ll show you soon what I really am!” 

After saying that, she turned around and left with Sophia. Carly clenched her fists behind them. She didn’t believe that the ever-changing entertainment industry in New York was still in Marie’s territory!

She swore to get back at Marie for all the humiliation she had suffered in the past! 

The filming of the TV series had come to an end, and it was time for Marie to start school. 

Get Bot 

She didn’t enroll in the Film Production Department. The last one to enroll her was Yale 

University’s Finance Department. 

What she wanted was never the small entertainment industry. She wanted the entire Spence family, and the Terry family! 

On the first day of school, Dennis told Cullen to take Marie to school first before going to Whitney Group. But before leaving in the morning, Cullen had no intention of carrying her luggage at all. 

“Dennis, I’m moving to the dorm!” said Marie. 

“Aren’t you going to start a company?” Dennis raised his eyebrows at her. 

“Yeah, what does this have to do with me living in the dorm?” asked Marie. 

“Are you going to deal with official business in the dormitory, or are you going to open a company in the dormitory?” Dennis asked her. 

Marie was speechless… 

That made sense. It was really inconvenient to live in the dormitory, but it was a bit strange to always live here with Dennis. 

Especially in recent, Marie always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them had changed slightly. 

She was a little scared, a little dazed, and wanted to escape. 

Dennis didn’t agree to her moving out, so he sent her to Yale University early in the morning and returned to Whitney Group. 

As soon as Marie stepped into the school, she felt that the university atmosphere was wonderful. The countless skills she had learned were in the underground space of the Rodger Group and the harsh natural environment. She had never been to university. 

At the registration venue, someone took her to the classroom. Because Marie was the top scorer of the SAT, she was assigned to Class 1 of the Finance Department. It was said that this class was full of excellent candidates from all over the country. 

When she entered the classroom, several students were already chatting in the classroom. Marie found a place to sit down, and a girl came over and sat next to her, greeting her awkwardly, “Hello, my name is Iliana.” 

Marie looked up and saw the girl standing in front of her. She had a palm-sized face and was wearing a long skirt. Her long hair reached her waist, and the makeup on her face was a little heavy, making her look old-fashioned. 

Marie frowned and said, “Hello, I’m Marie” 

“Can I call you Marie? Which dormitory are you from?” asked Iliana.

Marie nodded and said, “I don’t live in school. I haven’t seen which dorm I am in.” 

Iliana Tuttle rubbed her hands and said with some embarrassment, “Then can you accompany me to find the dormitory? I’m a bit bored alone.” 

Since she had nothing else to do, Marie followed her to look for the dorm form. She didn’t expect to 

see their names in the same dorm. 

“We share the same dorm? It must be fate.” Iliana smiled. 

When Iliana smiled, her eyes narrowed like a lazy cat. 

Marie nodded and said, “It’s fate.” 

“But I just met you, and you don’t live in the dorm.” Iliana was a little disappointed. 

Then, Marie pulled her back to the classroom. The students had arrived in groups, and everyone was chatting happily. Marie sat down and said, “Why do these people look like they know each other? Are we the only outsiders?” 

Iliana glanced at the three groups of people and said, “Except for a few top scorers in the SAT around New York, the rest of the students in this class are indeed from New York. They are all from rich families, and their families have business dealings. Naturally, they will be familiar with them.” 

Marie asked, “What about you? Are you a local too?” 

Iliana smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “Sort of.” 

Marie didn’t understand what she meant by “sort of”. Yes or no, what did she mean by that? 

However, it was first day they met, and she didn’t intend to pry into other people’s privacy. Instead of asking further, Marie went to the cafeteria with Iliana at noon. 

Iliana only took a few bites and stopped eating. She always gave Marie a feeling of discomfort. But Marie didn’t care. It was the first time that she had eaten in the university cafeteria, and she ate with relish. 

The fresh energy of college had passed, and Marie ended classes like a normal college student every day. In a trance, she felt that this was her original life. 

In the past month, Yale University’s freshmen had entered the school one after another, and the school had somehow set off a craze for the evaluation of campus belle among freshmen. 

The school forum kept refreshing new beauties of freshman, and various photos were posted to the forum to canvass. Iliana urged her, “Marie, you are so good-looking. Why don’t you post a picture?” 

Get Bo 

“I’m not interested” Marie pursed her lips. 

She was really not interested in such a fight. 

But the next day, when she went to school, there was a commotion at the school gate. Marie and Iliana were watching the fun at the school gate. The person who got out of the luxury car was Carly. 

Marie knew that she was admitted to Department of Communications and Media of Yale University, but Carly should still be filming in the crew now. Why did she come to school? 

Carly looked like she had just come down from the red carpet. She was wearing a slim-fitting white gown, and her curly hair spread behind her back. The delicate makeup on her face made her look. 

like a doll. 

As the crowd pushed and shoved, someone pushed Marie, and she fell forward at once, breaking into the sight of Carly. 

Carly tilted her head and glanced at her with a sweet smile, “Marie.” 

Marie adjusted her clothes and said, “Don’t be so affectionate. Your tone and your smile just give 

me nausea.” 

She turned around and pulled Iliana away. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Iliana followed her 

and did not ask further. 

There was a very important reason why Marie could make friends with Iliana. Iliana was a very discerning person. She kept a good distance from Marie and never asked about her private matters. It was more comfortable to get along with her. 

The next day, the school’s forum was full of comments again. The headline that was marked red was posted on the forum’s main page, “Another Olive Surprised Appearing in Yale University!” 

In the photo, Carly appeared at the school gate yesterday with a sweet and lovely smile. 

Someone posted the family background of Carly, the most precious daughter of the Spence family, and the belle of Department of Communications and Media. 

Carly quickly attracted a large number of fans in school, and most of the boys were impressed by 

her beauty. 

However, what made Marie speechless was that the post that followed closely behind exposed at photo of her and Carly looking at each other at the school gate. She had no makeup on, no less than Carly who appeared in a full dress. 

As a result, Marie was inexplicably pushed onto the campus belle selection list. 

The forum even gave them their nicknames. Carly was known as the sweet princess, and Marie was known as the aloof goddess.

In the photo, Carly was smiling sweetly, but Marie face was cool. However, there were really a lot of boys and girls on Marie’s side. 

“Marie is simply a synonym for coldness!” 

“This knife-like look pierced my heart!” 

“Goddess, princess, look at me!” 

After Marie turned off the forum, Iliana laughed at her, “Are you not happy that you’re on the list?”
