Chapter 94
Without any hesitation, Marie ran out of the restaurant and, pulling Dennis, said, “Let’s go.”
Dennis nodded and followed her to the parking lot.
Wren grabbed Seth and said softly, “Seth, you’ve mistaken her for someone else.”
Seth sat down, somewhat irritated, and asked, “Where on earth is she?”
Wren gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, but his face still appeared gentle, “Seth, Rose
betrayed Rodger Group, the evidence is conclusive. Don’t investigate any further.”
Seth stared at Wren, completely disregarding his previous politeness, and asked, “Do you know
where she is?”
Wren panicked inside, but her face remained calm. “How could that be? Seth, I am your fiancée, you
have to believe me.”
Seth sneered and laughed, “Fiancée? It’s just a business marriage, you’d better recognize your ownI
status!”
Wren looked at Seth with a sense of injustice. Seth pushed his chair back, stood up, and said, “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Wren grabbed him. “Seth, you promised to have dinner with me!”
Seth pushed her away and walked out of the restaurant.
He had promised many things, and he had also promised to give Rose a bright future, but before he
could, she disappeared.
Where did the girl who grew up with him and accompanied him in battles end up?
Clayton hadn’t bothered Marie during his one-week stay in France, and Marie didn’t care. She was
busy taking care of a patient every day, engaging in a battle of wits with them, and was completely
exhausted.
When Gavin confirmed that Dennis could move freely, they all returned to New York together.
As soon as Marie got off the plane, she went to replace her lost SIM card, which she had lost during the gunfight. She called Asher and Sasha to let them know she was safe, but she had to wait until she returned to her home country to fully replace her phone.
As soon as the device was turned on, countless messages popped up, startling Marie.
(Ms. Spence! Something happened!]
[Ms. Spence! Where are you? There’s been a big problem with Darwin!]
Get Boris
[Marie, something happened to Darwin.]
[Marie, call me back when you get this message, I’m really worried about you.)
[Ms. Spence, please give me a call back.]
[Marie, are you managing me or not! Aren’t I your artist?]
[Marie! Were you pretending to be dead?]
[Marie… you’ve been out of touch for a week, can you please return a phone call?]
All the messages were sent by Zane, Sasha, and Darwin. The central idea was that something had happened to Darwin.
Marie was startled and immediately called Darwin, not knowing what had happened.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up, and Darwin’s furious voice came through. “Marie! Did you go to France or outer space? I was half-dead before you came back!”
Hearing Darwin’s frustrated yell, Marie breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Darwin was
injured or something had happened to him, as long as he was alright, that was all that mattered.
“It’s a long story, what happened to you?” Marie asked.
“It’s hard to explain in one sentence, just come to my house, Zane and Sasha are both here,”
Darwin said, sounding annoyed.
Marie hung up the phone, spoke to Dennis, and then asked Luca to pick her up and take her to
Darwin’s house.
Upon arriving at the Robert residence, the housekeeper opened the door and said, “Hello, Ms.
Spence. Mr. Darwin is in the living room.”
Marie led Luca inside, and as they entered the living room, they saw Darwin sprawled on the couch, bruised and battered, with his arm in a sling. Sasha and Zane were sitting nearby, listening to him
complain.
Marie was taken aback. “How did you end up like this?”
Darwin said irritably, “You’re just coming back now! If you didn’t come back, I would have been
beaten to death!”
Marie still didn’t understand, “Who hit you? Who dared to hit you?”
Sasha glanced at Darwin helplessly, took out her phone, opened the entertainment news, and handed it to Marie. “Take a look at it.”
Marie took the phone, and the bold red headline of the news read: [Popular male artist accused of
Get Bott
Indecent assault on female celebrity!]
Marie was startled. Could this popular male artist be talking about Darwin?
She opened the news, and the report inside stated that a certain popular male artist had sneaked into a female celebrity’s room during the banquet on the night of the Drama Feast awards ceremony. He was subsequently kicked out, and a blurry video was posted.
Two days later, news broke again that a certain male celebrity named Robert had a chaotic private life and unusual preferences. He often took advantage of filming opportunities to harass female celebrities. A censored photo was posted, showing a man wearing a baseball cap, half of his face resembling Darwin, sitting in a pub with a cigarette in his mouth and embracing a D-list minor celebrity.
Some media outlets sought to confirm whether the male celebrity Robert in Global Medias’ news was Darwin, but Global Medias consistently refused to respond.
Until yesterday, a clear hotel video was leaked, showing that it was indeed Darwin who entered the room. He was still wearing his banquet suit, and was kicked out just a few minutes after entering.
The media confirmed that the female celebrity staying in that room was actually Carly Spence!
It was said that at the time, Darwin was still in the studio. When Ira found out about this, he brought his bodyguard and went straight to the studio, where he beat up Darwin.
This incident had caused a huge uproar on the internet, and no one sympathized with Darwin. He had become a pervy man that everyone wanted to condemn overnight.
Marie sat on the couch, tossed her phone aside, and asked, “Did you go into Carly’s room?”
“I didn’t! Why would I go into her room? Am I sick?” Darwin said irritably.
“You didn’t go in, so why are you in the video?” Marie asked, pointing at the phone.
“I did go in, but how was I supposed to know that was Carly’s room? I thought it was Sasha’s room!”
Darwin exclaimed.
“Sasha?” Marie was taken aback, “You two…”
“No, no, Marie, don’t get the wrong idea…” Sasha immediately waved her hands in denial and kicked Darwin lightly. “Explain yourself properly, and stop being angry.”
Darwin took a deep breath, looking really angry, and said, “The banquet was held at that hotel, and the organizers had reserved the entire floor. Almost every artists had their own room arranged. Then I received a text from Sasha, saying that someone had broken into her room and she was hiding in the bathroom, asking me to save her. So I ran to that room, but when I pushed the door open, I didn’t see anyone. I went to the bathroom, and who would have thought that Carly suddenly jumped out wrapped in a towel, calling me a jerk and kicked me out!”

“Couldn’t you have called to ask me? Are you a bit stupid? You just went because they told you to?” Sasha scolded angrily.
“I was just worried about you! If it wasn’t for you, would I have gotten involved in this mess?”
Darwin said, frustrated and annoyed.
“Alright, alright, stop arguing. Things have already happened this way. Let’s hear what Ms. Spence has to say about solving this,” Zane advised as he sat to the side.
“How else can this be resolved? I’m already ruined! What’s the big deal? At most, I’ll just quit the entertainment industry!” Darwin appeared to be acting recklessly in despair.
Marie, feeling helpless, pointed to the second news and asked, “This one, the one in the pub, was
that you too?”
Darwin sighed deeply, “I’ve been wronged. Take a good look, will you? This isn’t me. This is clearly my brother!”
Marie picked it up and looked at it, saying, “You two look so much alike.”
Darwin touched the wound on his face, gritting his teeth and said, “Is it my fault that I look like
him? My brother patted his butt and ran off to Europe, leaving me as his scapegoat.”
Marie, feeling helpless, said, “Fine, since neither of the two things were your doing, I’ll solve them
for you.
“You? How will you solve it? Now everyone outside thinks we’re from Global Medias.” Darwin sneered, his face full of disdain.
Sasha raised her foot again and kicked him, saying, “Marie said it could be solved! Why so much.
nonsense!”
Darwin hugged his legs and cried out, “Do you have a conscience, woman! If it weren’t for you, would I have gotten into this mess!”
Sasha twisted her face and didn’t speak. Marie, feeling helpless, asked, “What about the text message? Is it still there?”
