Afterwards, they all laughed disdainfully. They had never heard of this Marls Entertainment. It must be

an unknown company. They assumed that Darwin must have been released from his

contract with Global Medias, which led him to join such a small company.

“Since all the major media outlets are here, let’s resolve this issue today,” Marie said, turning to

Carly and asking, “May I ask, Ms. Carly, what is the reason for demanding an apology from Mr.

Darwin?”

Carly met Marie’s gaze, feeling a bit flustered. Marie was too confident, which scared her. But

things had already reached this point, and there was no turning back!

Carly pointed at the screen and said, “On the day of Drama Feast, Darwin barged into my room,

trying to… trying to…”

Before she could finish speaking, she covered her mouth and sobbed softly. The reporters and

audience present couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.

Marie remained calm and said, “Alright, I understand. Carly mentioned that Darwin entered your room

and attempted misconduct, causing great harm to your physical and mental well-being, is

that correct?”

Carly nodded, without saying anything.

Marie said, “This issue is indeed not a small matter. However, coincidentally, I have also obtained a

very complete surveillance footage. Please, everyone, take another look.”

Marie deliberately emphasized the words “very complete” as she handed the thumb drive to the staff.

Afterward, the video was played on the projection screen.

Carly saw the video and sneered inwardly, thinking that there was no difference between this video and

hers. Her video wasn’t fake, and no matter how many times she watched it, it remained the

same!

However, the video suddenly had some noise. Then, clear conversation sounds came through.

From the moment Darwin was kicked out of the room and Carly ran out wrapped in a towel, the

conversation began.

In the video, Darwin, still confused and buttoning up his shirt, asked, “Why is it you? Where’s

Sasha?”

Carly sobbed and said, “What, Sasha? What are you talking about!”

Darwin reluctantly tidied up the clothes and asked, “Isn’t this Sasha’s room? How come you’re

here?”

Carly pointed at him and yelled, “Darwin, you jerk! You actually molested me!”

Darwin was taken aback and yelled back, “Are you fucking crazy? I’m blind, why would I care to harass

you?”

At that moment, Carly’s assistant ran over, comforting Carly, and then hurriedly urged Darwin to

leave. Darwin took out his phone, making a call while walking towards the stairs. In the video, a faint

voice could be heard saying, “Sasha, where are you?”

At this point, the video ended, and Carly’s face turned pale. She didn’t understand why Marle’s video

had sound. Wasn’t surveillance footage supposed to be silent?

The reporter was also stunned. So, Darwin intended to harass not Carly, but Sasha? And he

accidentally hurt Carly instead?

What was Marie here for today? To tell them that Darwin liked Sasha?

Marie turned to Carly and said, “I have two questions for you, Ms. Carly. Please answer them for

me.”

“What’s the problem…” Carly swallowed hard, feeling that Marie wouldn’t let her off so easily.

“First, you said Darwin barged into the room and pulled your towel, but why in the video, he explicitly

said he came to the room looking for Sasha?”

did

“Secondly, if Darwin, an adult man, was determined to assault you and pulled at your towel, how

you manage to break free from him without any help and force him out of the room?” Marie

asked, waiting for Carly’s response.

Not only Marie, but everyone was waiting for Carly’s response. Marie’s two questions made them

realize many details they had previously overlooked.

Carly hesitated to speak, so Marie said, “Shall I answer for you? It’s actually quite simple, because

you’re lying. Darwin didn’t harass you at all. He really went to look for Sasha, but found you in the room

instead. He immediately left the room without you having to drive him away. Is that right?”

“No! No, it wasn’t… it wasn’t like that… Darwin thought I was Sasha… so he tried to get fresh with

me… I screamed, and then he realized he had mistaken me for someone else… That’s why he left!

That’s what happened! That’s what happened!”

Carly immediately made up a new story, her face showing terror, as if she had been greatly frightened.

‘So Ms. Carly admitted that Darwin didn’t go to look for you?” Marie asked.

“No, he went to look for Sasha! I don’t know what their relationship is, but he mistook someone else for

them!”

Get Bogus

Carly stuttered, saying she couldn’t handle everything anymore. All she wanted was to destroy Darwin,

and by doing so, she could destroy Sasha. Wasn’t Marie the boss? She would destroy them

all together!

Unexpectedly, the situation took such a turn, leaving the reporters shocked. Wasn’t Darwin intentionally

harassing Carly? So, he was actually going to the room to look for Sasha? What was the relationship

between him and Sasha?

“Excuse me, Ms. Spence, what was the relationship between Darwin and Sasha?”

“Did Darwin and Sasha have an inappropriate relationship?”

“Did they want to make their relationship public? Or was there some other hidden reason?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Did you know about this kind of situation between artists, as a boss?”

“Did Sasha speak up for Darwin because they were in a romantic relationship? Or was it because

Darwin had a backer like Andres?”

The reporters were chattering and asking questions. Marie raised her hand, signaling everyone to calm

down, and said, “First of all, Darwin and Sasha have a normal working relationship within the company,

and there is no inappropriate relationship between them. Please do not misunderstand.

As for why Darwin went to Sasha’s room that night, please take a look at the projection screen.”

A text message from an unknown number was projected onto the screen, showing a message sent that

night: [I am Sasha, I am in the bathroom of Room 0523, save me!]

“This was the text message Darwin received that night. He mistakenly thought that something had

happened to Sasha, so he hurried to the room without having time to verify Sasha’s room number.

In fact, Sasha’s room that night was 0532. It was later confirmed that Sasha had never sent any text

messages to Darwin, nor had she ever entered any bathroom. So, someone deliberately sent a text

message to lure Darwin to room 0523!”

Marie analyzed the situation logically, and with the help of the text message photo displayed on the

projection screen and the room registration list of the artists that night, it was confirmed that Sasha was

indeed in room 0532.

“Ms. Spence, were you implying that Ms. Carly framed Mr. Darwin?” a reporter immediately asked.

Marie hooked her lips. The journalist she had bribed finally stood up with momentum.

Carly immediately said, “I didn’t! I didn’t send a text! How could I possibly do something like that?”

Marie laughed and asked, “You don’t have one, so what about your assistant?”

Marie looked at the assistant standing next to Carly and smiled slightly, “We have found out that the

identity card used to purchase the mysterious phone number belongs to your assistant. This

assistant can be said to have masterminded the plot to frame Darwin, and Maris Entertainment will

assistant

sue her for libel immediately!”

The assistant panicked. She just took the money to get things done, she didn’t want to go to jail!

She cried out in fear, “It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me! Carly made me do it! It wasn’t me! Don’t tell on

me!”

Carly stood up and pushed her to the ground, “Why did you do this to me? When did I ever ask you to

do such a thing?”

She turned around and pointed at Marie, exasperated, “Marie! This video is fake! Where did you get it

from? How could there be sound? It must be fake!”

She couldn’t believe it. This hotel was owned by the Hebert family, with the Spence family also holding

shares. She had given strict orders not to leak the surveillance footage, so how could Marie possibly

have gotten the video!

The projection screen displayed another photo, clearly showing that York Hotel’s ownership belonged

to the Hebert family.

Marie nonchalantly said, “York Hotel was owned by the Hebert family, which means it belonged to your

fiancé. So, naturally, Ms. Carly could stay wherever she wanted and get any surveillance. footage she

desired. We weren’t supposed to have access to it, but as it happens, York Hotel was sold by Hebert

Group a week ago. That’s why I was able to obtain the genuine surveillance footage. As for the audio,

I’d like to thank my company’s technical staff for enhancing the clarity and even

extracting the audio.”

The so-called technical staff… actually, it was Marie who sent the video to Kate across the Pacific

Ocean… asking her to make the audio clearer…

After greeting her entire family, Kate casually gossiped about the matter, saying that the entertainment

industry was quite interesting.

The entire audience was shocked, including all the viewers watching the live stream on the live stream

channel. No one could have imagined such a huge twist in the event.

So, Carly instructed her assistant to lure Darwin into the room, Darwin fell for it, and Carly framed him

for assaulting her?

[Everyone… was this really not a movie shoot? Carly was such a great actress, wasn’t she? The whole

internet was fighting for justice for her, but it turned out to be a ploy she came up with herself?]

[So Darwin didn’t touch her at all? No wonder Darwin said he would have to be blind to harass her…]..

[This woman was so terrifying, she made up such a huge drama by herself. Drama Feast owed her a

Best Actress award!]

[Didn’t anyone notice that Darwin went for Sasha? What a perfect couple!]

[So Sasha spoke up because she knew Darwin was innocent!]

[Darwin made a bloody comeback! I knew my man couldn’t be wrong!]

[Where’s the dude who said Darwin would turn the situation around and then live stream eating

shit? Let me see your hands!]

Carly was completely panicked, she didn’t expect Darwin to be criticized by the entire internet like this,

and even Sasha and Zane got into trouble. Marie was still able to save them!

She clearly already had victory in her hands! She was about to be the final winner! But then Marie

ruined everything!

Every time, it was Marie!

Carly cried and said, “It really wasn’t me. I don’t know why the assistant said that… I’m also a

victim… I’ve never done anything like this…”

She had no other choice, so she could only continue to play the victim and keep seeking sympathy,

hoping to make a comeback with the help of her fans. She wanted these people to feel sorry

for her,

as there was no evidence to prove that she was the mastermind, apart from the one-sided

statement from her assistant.

Marie smirked and said, “Don’t worry, there’s another recording. I hope you can still play the

victim after listening to it.”

Marie handed the voice recorder to the staff, and the venue’s sound system played a segment of

audio.

“Excuse me, Mr. Hebert, who helped you kidnap Ms. Spence?”

“It was… it was her sister… she called me, saying she would send Marie to my bed…”

“Is the younger sister you mentioned Carly?”

“Yeah.”

“Was it Carly who told you to insult Marie?”

“She didn’t say it, but I mentioned several times that I was interested in Marie. She even tied someone

to my bed, wasn’t it obvious? Who knew Marie could be so ruthless and stab me?”

Carly’s face turned pale, and all the reporters present were shocked. The audio recording involved. not

only Carly but also Dereon, who had previously announced that he was hospitalized due to an injury!

Marie smiled slightly and said, “I forgot to introduce myself. I am Carly’s half-sister, the third

daughter of the Spence family, Marie.
