Marie didn’t know how to comfort her. In fact, Marie didn’t even know the name of Iliana’s childhood
sweetheart, let alone the kind of past they had together that made Iliana wait for him for so many years,
only
to find out he was getting married.
So she could only hold Iliana’s hand, telling her that she was by her side, listening to Iliana’s soft sobs.
It wasn’t until almost evening that Iliana awkwardly wiped her tears and said, “I’m really sorry for
making you
stay with me for so long.”
Marie glared at her, “What are you talking about? What’s there to be embarrassed about? If one day I
were
with Dennis…”
Marie suddenly stopped. She had wanted to say that if one day she and Dennis broke up, she would
also
need Iliana to accompany her for so long.
But before she could speak, Marie couldn’t continue. She couldn’t imagine one day having to break up
with
Dennis, and even more so, she couldn’t imagine how she would get through it if that day ever came.
Iliana was busy wiping her tears and fixing her makeup, which had been ruined by her crying, leaving
her looking quite disheveled. After tidying herself up, she managed a smile at Marie and said, “It’s
okay! It’s in the
past now!”
Marie also laughed with her and said, “It will pass.”
Iliana’s eyes were red, and she nodded. Marie took Iliana home first, and then returned to the Spence
family
to have dinner with Asher,
While eating, Asher asked, “Marie, how far have you and Dennis progressed in your relationship?”
Marie was taken aback and said, “It’s nothing special.”
Asher frowned and said, “He didn’t mention marriage? You’ve been living with him for so long, and he
hasn’t said he wants to marry you?”
Marie blushed and said, “Grandpa! What are you talking about! I’m just staying here, nothing
happened…”
“That won’t work either!” Asher became anxious, “You’ve been with him for more than just a day or two,
it’s been two or three years now, you should start thinking about the future.”
Marie was eating with her head down, and it wasn’t until Asher mentioned it that she suddenly realized
she had known Dennis for three years.
The first time I met Dennis, she was a high school student who didn’t know much, and now she’s
almost a college graduate.
Marie could hardly believe how quickly time had passed, but when she was with Dennis, it seemed as if
time had stood still. It felt like just yesterday when she was wearing her gown and fell into Dennis’s
arms. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
She had just realized her feelings after going around in circles these days, and she hadn’t been with
Dennis for very long. How could they consider something like marriage so quickly?

“Marie, Grandpa is talking to you! If you’re too shy to bring it up, I’ll go talk to the Whitney family!” Asher
simply stopped eating his pasta, put down his fork, and was about to stand up.
Marie immediately stopped Asher and said, “Grandpa, I’m not in a hurry, why are you? Besides, what
girl
would be eager to discuss marriage? If people didn’t know better, they’d think I couldn’t get married!”
Asher was both anxious and upset, unable to eat his pasta. He took a few bites and said, “Marie, I am
worried
about you. Look at your father’s behavior. If one day I am no longer around, who will take care of these
things
for you? In the future, if the Whitney family bullies you, I won’t be able to support you!”
Marie’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she glared at Asher, saying, “Grandpa, what nonsense are you
talking about! What do you mean ‘gone’? Grandpa is fine, don’t say such things!”
Asher sighed and said, “Marie, my dear, I’m getting old and I know my own body. I won’t be able to
accompany
you for much longer. All I wish for now is for you to settle down soon, so I can be at ease!”
Marie glared angrily, usually eloquent, but at that moment she didn’t know what to say. All she could do
was
blurt out, “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll ignore you!”
Asher sighed and stopped talking. After finishing their meal, Asher went back to rest early. Marie sat in
the
living room, watching Asher’s retreating figure, feeling a wave of sadness.
At first, when she had just woken up, the old man was full of energy. Now, why was he hunching his
waist
and unable to stand up straight anymore?
Not long after, Sasha’s Double Sided wrapped up, and at the wrap party, Marie was specially invited to
attend,
as she had worked hard to secure the script.
At the banquet, Aubree was also present. In the past few months, apart from revising the script, Aubree
had a great time in New York. Thanks to Marie and Dennis’ thoughtful arrangements, she didn’t feel
uncomfortable
living there.
As soon as Aubree saw Marie, she smiled happily and said, “Marie! Young girl! Come, come here!”
Marie walked over and greeted Aubree with a smile, “Mdm. Berry.”
Aubree pretended to be angry and glanced at her, “You agreed earlier, but now that the movie is
finished,
you’re going back on your word?”
Marie hesitated for a moment, then laughed, “Godmother, my apologies, I misspake.”
Aubree finally cheered up and said, “You better not forget in the future, or I’ll really get mad!”
Marle coaxed, “Yes, yes. I’ll definitely remember in the future.”
Sasha asked curiously, “What’s this about godmother? Marie, what are you talking about?”
Marie stuck out her tongue and said, “I got along well with Mdm. Berry and chose her as my
godmother.”
Sasha gave a dry laugh, chatted with Aubree for a bit, then pulled Marie aside and asked, “Marie, are
you
serious? Did you really choose Mdm. Berry as the godmother?”
Marie nodded, “Yes.”

“Marie, did you do this just to get the script? Don’t sacrifice yourself like that!” Sasha was a bit nervous,
afraid that Marie might have humbled herself for her sake.
Marie chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I am sincere towards her, and she treats me well too, without
any
grievances.”
Sasha nodded hesitantly, “All right then.”
Marie didn’t drink much at the banquet, as she seemed to always overdo it whenever she drank
alcohol, so
she was now very conscious of her alcohol tolerance.
After the wrap party ended, Luca took Marie home, and Sasha returned to her own apartment.
The next day. Marie received a photo from a media outlet. In the photo, Darwin was heavily intoxicated
by the
side of the road, and was eventually taken away by someone. He looked every bit like a frustrated
young man
drowning his sorrows.
The other party asked for 750 thousand dollars, and without hesitation, Marie sent the money and
bought
the news.
If this kind of photo were to spread online, it would be greatly disadvantageous for Darwin.
Recently, Marie was extremely annoyed by Darwin, as this troublemaker kept causing problems every
few days. Moreover, he was always caught by various people who posted evidence online. If this
continued, Marie
really wouldn’t be able to protect him anymore.
This time, before Marie had a chance to go out and look for Darwin, Sasha arrived. Upon seeing Marie,
Sasha
immediately asked, “Where’s Darwin?”
Marie was taken aback and said, “I was just about to go look for him, how come you’re here?”
Sasha hesitated for a moment, then told Marie about what happened the night before.
The night before, after Sasha’s wrap party ended, she was supposed to go back to her apartment.
Coincidentally, she met Christopher who had just finished filming a night scene, so he gave her a ride.
When
they arrived at the building, they unexpectedly ran into Darwin waiting for her..
Darwin and Sasha had a big argument, and they didn’t even know what they were saying. They just
vented
their anger, Darwin drank alcohol all night downstairs from Sasha’s place. The next day, when Sasha
saw the
empty bottles on the ground, she realized what had happened and hurriedly went to find him.
Marie rubbed her head, realizing that Darwin was jealous again. As soon as he saw Christopher and
Sasha
together, Darwin lost his rationality.
“Sasha!” Marie carefully chose her tone and said, “Actually, Darwin probably had something to tell you.
Why
don’t you go and have a good talk with him?”
Sasha shook her head and said, “I won’t go. Since he’s fine, I’ll just go back. I don’t want to get scolded
by his
bad temper!”

Marie was also helpless, since Sasha didn’t want to go, she couldn’t help Darwin either!
Marie could only call Darwin’s assistant, asking him to keep an eye on Darwin and prevent him from
causing any more trouble. She also changed Darwin’s Twitter password and recently prohibited him
from tweeting.
This matter was suppressed, and before long, Darwin’s The Pianist and Sasha’s Double Sided were
released
one after another.
Sasha’s Double Sided premiere broke this year’s movie premiere records. Sasha’s portrayal of a
person with
depression in the film was immersive and relatable.
While watching the movie, it was as if one could feel her inner struggle. Her forced smiles in front of
others
and unbearable pain behind the scenes were vividly displayed on the big screen.
Thirty percent of the movie premiere’s revenue was donated to the depression foundation in Sasha’s
name, making Sasha once again a sought-after figure in the entertainment industry.
Not only was she beautiful and skilled in acting, but she was also humble and had gained a reputation
for
her enthusiasm in charity work. Her fans were proud of her, and she had won the hearts of many
passersby.
Sasha could now be considered a household name.
