The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

In the narrow alley, an old woman was sitting on the steps, bending over to trim vegetables for cooking. A young and handsome boy was sitting next to her, playing the guitar and singing along. 

I’ve wrote poems for you, my heart stopped beating because of you. 

I’ve done the impossible things for you. 

I’ve learned to play the guitar and write calligraphy for you. 

I’ve lost my mind for you… 

It was an old song, but as he sang it under the sunshine, it was very beautiful. 

Sitting in the car parking on the side of the road, Marie looked at the mother and son on the steps. Cullen asked her, “Ms. Spence, aren’t you getting out of the car?” 

Just as Marie was about to get out of the car, several tall and burly men walked over and kicked over 

the stall. 

Zane stood up and asked, “What are you guys doing? I’ve already quit the competition. What else 

does he want?” 

The man in the lead pushed Zane away and said arrogantly, “Our young master told you to shut up! Stop singing! You think quitting the competition is enough?” 

Zane’s face turned red with anger, “Why? Just because he’s the son of the Hebert family, he can bully others like this?” 

The man pushed Zane to the ground and kicked him hard, shouting aggressively, “So what? What can you do about me bullying you? You’re a pauper!” 

Zane’s mother got up to pull him, but got pushed down too. The man grabbed the guitar and slammed it to the ground. All the strings and the guitar were broken. Like a helpless child, Zane was 

so anxious that he shed tears. 

Marie asked, “Did Dennis Whitney send a bodyguard?” 

Cullen nodded, “Ms. Spence, do you want to meddle with it?” 

Marie said with a smile, “Of course, go and beat him hard, as long as he doesn’t die.” 

As soon as Cullen made a phone call, Zane saw four men in black get out of a car on the side of the road. Thinking that they had helpers, he protected his mother behind him and stared at these people. 

Unexpectedly, four men in black came and kicked over the man who had made the scene. They rushed up, punched and kicked him. The man begged for mercy, still shouting “Do you know who I 

Get Hors 

am? Do you not want to live in New York anymore?” 

Cullen wandered over, letting the bodyguards to stop, and kicked the man. Cullen was also a bodyguard before, so the man got kicked into a wailing. 

Cullen laughed, “Who do you think you are? How dare you making a scene at here?” 

The man saw that Cullen was so aggressive, so he said, “That’s it for today! But I’m not gonna let you go easily!” Then he limped away with his accomplice. 

sir?” 

Zane immediately stood up and thanked him, “Thank you. May I know your family name, 

Cullen touched his face awkwardly and said, “Don’t thank me. It’s not me that wanted to help you.” 

He walked over, opened the car door, and helped Marie get out of the car. That was the first time Zane had seen such a beautiful girl. 

Marie was wearing a long white dress and her hair was down over her back. It seemed that her foot was injured, so she limped a bit. However, she walked towards Zane under the sunshine and extended her hand, smiling, “Hello, my name is Marie Spence.” 

Like an angel falling to the mortal world. 

Zane was stunned for a while. Cullen glared at him angrily, “What are you looking at?” 

Zane reached out to shake her hand, but when he saw the ash on his hands because falling on the ground earlier, he was afraid that it would make her dirty, so he withdrew his hand. 

But as he withdrawing his hand, he got held by Marie. She smiled and said, “You haven’t introduced yourself yet.” 

Having shaken hands with her awkwardly, Zane retracted his hand and rubbed it. “Hello, my name is Zane Chapman.” 

Marie took out a name card from her purse and handed it to him, saying, “I’m the director of the Maris Entertainment. We’re willing to sign a contract with you.” 

Zane took the business card with two simple lines written on it: Maris Entertainment, Marie Spence. 

He lowered his head and said, “I won’t sign any contracts. Thank you for your kindness. Excuse 

me.” 

He seemed to be too ashamed to look up and squatted down to clean up the mess and the broken guitar. 

Is it because of Dereon Herbert? Are you afraid that he will take revenge on you?” Marie asked. 

Zare lowered his head and said, “As you can see, Dereon is the son of the Hebert family. I can’t 

afford to mess with someone like him.” 

Get Boro 

“So you’re willing to keep your mouth shut and not sing anymore for the rest of your life? You can afford to let him come over and over again to beat you and even your mom up?” Marie sounded a bit 

of mockery. 

Zane stood up angrily and said, “I’m not! I won’t let him bully my mom!” 

Marie smiled, “You can’t even protect a guitar now, how can you protect your mother?” 

Zane knew that Marie was provoking him, but what could he do? Even if he entered the 

entertainment industry, he would be suppressed by Dereon, so he wouldn’t even have a chance to 

become famous. 

“I can protect you and your mother, and I can also guarantee that Dereon will leave the 

entertainment industry. But the question is, do you still want to sing?” Marie looked into his eyes 

and asked. 

“Yes!” Zane replied without hesitation. His eyes were as clear as a spring, full of passion for music. 

With a satisfied smile, Marie asked, “Are you just going to let me stand outside and talk to you all the time?” 

Zane quickly tidied up his things and helped his mother up, saying, “Please come in, Ms. Spence.” 

Cullen helped Marie into the room. There was no sunlight in the small room, and it was a little damp. He took a chair for her to sit. Zane felt that she was so dazzling that he didn’t dare to look at 

her in this dark room. 

Marie took out a contract and handed it to Zane. “Take a look at this. This is the contract. I will be 

your boss and manager, and I will arrange 

and I will arrange work for you.” 

Since Zane had made up his mind, he signed the document without hesitation. 

After taking the contract back, Marie said, “I’ll arrange an apartment. You and your mother can move there once you pack your luggage. You should take a rest and get freshened up since you will have to work soon.” 

Zane nodded excitedly. He was willing to do anything as long as he could continue to sing. 

Cullen smacked his lips, “Boy, you’re lucky!” 

Zane was beaming with joy. At that moment, he looked like a young man in his prime. 

Cullen helped Marie get into the car. Then she asked, “Is there any suitable apartment that can be used as an employee dormitory?” 

Cullen said, “Actually… the artists of the Global Medias have their own apartments all the time…” 

Stunned, Marie asked, “Huh? Global Medias?”

Cullen chuckled, “Ms. Spence, you’ll know when you get back. President has another big gift for 

you.” 

Marie was confused. Cullen sent her back to Glorious Estate. Once the door was opened, she saw 

Dennis Whitney and Andres Robert sitting on the sofa. 

Andres greeted with a smile, “Hi, Marie!” 

Marie was speechless. 

Dennis Whitney beckoned, “Marie, come here.” 

Marie leaned over and asked, “Cullen said you had a big gift for me. What is it?” 

Dennis handed a contract to her. It was a lease for an office in the office building next to the Whitney Group, as well as for an apartment. 

Stunned, Marie asked, “You rented it for a year, and it’s all for me?” 

Dennis said, “I’m lending it to you. The apartment belongs to the Global Medias, and so does the 

studio.” 

Stunned, Marie asked, “Dennis, do you know the boss of the Global Medias?” 

Andres smiled. “Marie, Mr. Whitney is the boss of the Global Medias.” 

Marie was so stunned, “What?” 

Dennis Whitney answered inadvertantly, “A few years ago, I was just goofing around in the entertainment industry. Andres has been taking charge of the company for the past few years, and I didn’t pay much attention on it.” 

Marie was speechless. 

You’re telling me that you’re just goofing around with the biggest entertainment company in the entertainment industry? 

Marie leaned over and asked, “Does that mean I can use the resources of Global Medias?” 

Dennis nodded, “Sure, just ask Andres.” 

Then, Marie went around to Andres Robert and asked, “I heard that Avery Ruth from Global Medias is going to have a concert?” 

Andres Robert nodded, “Yes, half of the company is busy with this matter because Avery Ruth is the inost popular singer in recent years.” 

“Then, can Zane come along and show up a bit?” Marie asked. 

Get Bots 

Andres nodded, “I’m fine with it. You can bring Zane to meet up with Avery Ruth and just say hello.” 

With that, Marie hopped back to her room and gave Zane a call. She told him that she would send someone to pick him up to go to his new apartment tomorrow and arrange work for him. 

Andres Robert was cracking sunflower seeds and asked, “Mr. Whitney, do you really want Marie to get into the entertainment industry?”
