Chapter 101
The entire ce was as silent as death.
They originally intended to seek justice for Carly and witness the awkward situation between Darwin
and Global Medias. However, everything changed when a girl named Marie appeared.
Carly suddenly became the mastermind behind everything, while Darwin transformed from a creepy
guy into the hero who saved the day. Marie sat on the stage, maintaining her nonchnt demeanor.
With a few skillful sentences, she deflected some problems andpletely turned the
situation around.
Marie nced at the reporters and said, “I came here today not only to address the Darwin banquet
incident but also to settle my personal grudge with Carly.”
Several videos were then disyed on the big screen, including Marie’s initial pregnancy report.
Another video featured the blond-haired thug admitting that Carly had hired them to ruin Marie.
Additionally, there were also posts about Carly’s glorious deeds at the Yale University forum spreading
widely.
Marie continued, “All of these incidents, where Ms. Spence repeatedly hired thugs to insult me, kidnap
me, nder me, and this time, she hurt my artist again. Ms. Spence wants our apology, but my
response is that Maris Entertainment and I will formally sue her and Mr. Hebert for attempted outrage of
modesty, libel, and other charges!”
Andres, who was sitting nearby, added in a rxed tone, “Global Medias has officially announced that
they’ve cklisted Carly. They will no longer coborate with any brands associated with Ms.
Spence!”
The whole room was in an uproar. Global Medias was the gship of the entertainment industry. If
Global Medias said they would cklist an artist, that person would have no chance to gain a foothold
in the industry!
Carly’s face turned pale as she slumped into her seat. She originally had the upper hand, but how did
things turn out like this?
She couldn’tprehend it. Where did Marie obtain the videos and recordings? Did Dereon fail?
Who saved Marie?
Furthermore, why weren’t Darwin, Zane, and Sasha artists at Global Medias? When did Marie establish
her ownpany? And what was the deal with Maris Entertainment?
Her mind went nk, not knowing the answers to any of these questions. She remembered the way
Marie looked at her when she entered, as if mocking her for being slow to react, like a fool.
Carly screamed and knocked over the items on the table, pointing sharply at Marie and yelling, “It
wasn’t me! It wasn’t me! You’re ndering me! I didn’t do it! Why would I do such a thing!”
Marie turned to her, smiled slightly, and said, “Yeah, why did you do that? Because we are half-sisters,
or because I’m an eyesore in the house?”
“So you’ve been hitting and scolding me since I was little, and now you’ve even hired a contract killer. I
can’t understand it, Carly. Tell me, why did you do this?”
Carly lost her footing and fell to the ground. She was no longer the elegant superstar who had just
entered the hotel; she was like a frightened dog, embarrassed.
It’s over, everything is over!
She knew that this time, Marie wouldn’t let her off the hook. She had originally nned to kick Darwin
and Sasha out of the entertainment industry, but now, Marie was truly determined to make her
All the things she did came back to haunt her, falling right on her own head!
The whole room was in an uproar. This was no longer just a small fight in the entertainment industry.
Marie was going to take Carly to court!
What shocked them even more was that Carly, who had always been known for her pure and sweet
image, turned out to be such a person!
She was malicious, terrifying, and full of schemes!
She tried several times to harm her own sister!
This time, she fabricated a tant lie, causing Darwin, Sasha, and others to be criticized all over
the inte!
How malicious! How detestable!
The live broadcast room had gonepletely crazy. Most of them were Carly’s fans who came to seek
justice for her. They had been relentlessly attacking and insulting Darwin, Sasha, and others online
since the incident began. And now, the facts were right in front of them. They had unknowingly be
Carly’s aplices!
The shock of the incident, the regret of misjudgement, and the cyberbullying towards innocent people
all turned into disgust and hatred towards Carly in that moment.
“How could there be such a malicious person! To know someone for a long time without understanding
their true nature!”
“Even if she’s a half-sister, she’s still a real sister! How could she hire thugs to ruin her own sister’s
reputation!”
“Carly truly deserved that best actress award; her acting was so convincing that she fooled everyone!”
“I’ve been fans of hers for so long, but now I feel disgusted myself!”
“Beloved little princess? She’s nothing but a devil!”
“Please, I desperately implore the police officer toe and arrest someone!”
“Darwin, I kneel before you! Forgive me!”
“I want to be a lifelong fan of Darwin!”

“Darwin’s boss was simply a female version of a dominant CEO, I’m in love!”
The live broadcast room was still in discussion, and the venue had yet to quiet down when a police
officer suddenly entered. He stood in front of Carly and said, “Ms. Carly, you are suspected of hiring a
contract killer. Pleasee with us to cooperate in the investigation.”
Carly sat on the ground, motionless,pletely devastated. She never expected that this almost
certain matter would be turned around to such an extent by Marie!
Once again, it was Marie who had led her to a crushing defeat!
Marie walked over and reaching out to help Carly, but Carly was stunned and unresponsive.
With a gentle smile on her face, Marie crouched down to fix Carly’s clothes. Leaning in close to her ear,
she said, “What did I tell you? Trying to fight me? Sooner orter, I’ll turn you and your mother into
beggars for the Spence family!”
Carly lunged at Marie, gripping her neck and shouting, “Marie! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”
Ira suddenly rushed out from the crowd, holding Carly and said, “Carly, calm down! You need to
calm down!”
Darwin and Andres immediately rushed over. Andres pulled Carly away, handing her over to the police,
and helped Marie up, anxiously asking, “Marie, are you alright? Did you get hurt?”
Marie rubbed her neck,ughed, coughed twice, and said, “I’m fine, no injuries.”
Darwin became impatient, confronted Ira, and punched him in the face, saying, “Didn’t I tell you I didn’t
touch your fiancé? Only someone blind like you could be attracted to such a crazy woman!”
Andres went over and pulled Darwin aside, saying, “The reporters are here, let’s settle thister.”
Darwin, Marie and all the reporters were momentarily struck speechless, their words suspended in
a bewildered silence.
Then, the reporters chimed in unexpectedly, “You guys go ahead and fight, we’ll pretend we didn’t see
anything.”
Darwin looked at the faint red mark on Marie’s neck and shouted at the police, “Doesn’t this count
as intentional injury? I want to press charges! Take her away!”
The police focused on handling the case, not concerning themselves with personal grudges. They
escorted Carly away while the reporters continuously snapped photos of her.
At that moment, Carly had no concern for her appearance. Her dress was covered in dust, and her
makeup was smudged. Driven to distraction, this time, she hadpletely lost.
Carly’s fans had left, and only Marie and a few others remained at the venue.
Marie rubbed her neck and coughed twice; Carly had quite the grip.
She said, “Maris Entertainment was just established this year, and our artists have been working
diligently to bring better works to everyone. We also hope that when faced with online rumors,
people can remain vignt and not be aplices to cyberbullying.”
Andres cleared his throat and said, “Since Carly has been taken away by the police, today’s incident.
hase to a close. As everyone saw, Ms. Spence was injured earlier, so let her go home and rest.
The journalists can interview themter.”
The reporters expressed their understanding one after another, finding it hard not to understand. They
originally came to denounce Darwin, but unexpectedly, they became the “aplices” in Marie’s
words. Though Marie didn’t say it outright, they all felt a sense of guilt.
The reporters made way as Marie and two others left the venue.
As they reach the parking lot, there was another car beside Marie’s. Cullen stood by the car,ughing,
and said, “Ms. Marie finally came out. Please get in the car.”
Andres and Darwin got into Marie’s car, while Luca drove them back.
Marie had just settled into the back seat when she was suddenly pulled aside. Dennis lifted her chin
and examined her smooth, fair neck, which clearly had a red mark around it.
Dennis’ face darkened, and in a cold tone, “Are you stupid? Couldn’t you dodge when she hit you?”
Marie stuck out her tongue and replied, “I’ll be more careful next time.”
