Cullen nodded, “Ms. Aubree Berry has lived in Bordeaux for many years.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Marie followed Dennis onto the plane without speaking. If she remembered correctly, Carly had been

sent to Bordeaux by Asher. Edward had been controlling her money according to the standard living

expenses of an ordinary university student. Marie wondered how Carly had been doing that

year.

When the plane landed in Bordeaux, it was already 10PM. The hotel had arranged a car to pick them

up. This time, Cullen couldn’t come because he

was busy with work in America.

After returning to the hotel and cleaning up, Marie couldn’t fall asleep as she tossed and turned. She

was a bit excited, thinking that if they could secure the copyrights to make a movie, Sasha’s fame

wouldn’t be limited to a small film. like The Earthquake. They could even send the movie abroad for

award

nominations.

The next day, Marie woke up early, waiting for Dennis to take her to meet

Aubree.

Dennis drove her to a mansion and said, “This is the place.”

Marie laughed, “I’ll go by myself, you just wait here for me.”

Dennis said helplessly, “Marie, this matter isn’t that easy.”

Marie laughed brightly, “I know, if it were easy, someone would have beaten me to the draw already. It’s

the challenge that makes it interesting!”

Dennis reached out and touched her hair, saying, “Go ahead, good luck.”

Marie got out of the car and rang the doorbell. Before long, a housekeeper came out and opened the

door. Speaking in French, she asked, “Who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for Ms. Aubree Berry, is she at home?” Marie asked.

The housekeeper nodded, went in and said something, then came out and

opened the door, inviting her in.

Marie looked back at Dennis, flashed him a peace sign, and then followed the

housekeeper into the mansion.

The mansion was very spacious, and its interior design featured a typical European-style. Marie

followed the housekeeper inside, and after several

twists and turns, they arrived at the outdoor garden.

It was summer, and beautiful roses were blooming in the garden. A woman

with long hair and a blue dress was standing in the garden, watering the

plants. The sunlight cast a shadow on her back, making her look serene and

gentle.

The housekeeper walked over and said something. The woman turned around,

looked at Marie, suddenly paused, and the watering can in her hand dropped to

the ground with a clang.

Marie walked over, picked up the watering can, and handed it to the housekeeper. She then turned and

asked, “Are you alright?”

The woman shook her head, realizing her lapse in composure, adjusted her

expression, and smiled as she said, “It’s fine. May I ask what this young lady

needs from me?”

Aubree should be in her forties this year, but she took great care of herself.

Her skin was smooth and fair, her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and she exuded elegance. If it

weren’t for the faint fine lines around her eyes, Marie

would have believed her to be in her twenties.

“Hello Ms. Berry, my name is Marie Spence, and I came here to discuss Double Sided with you.” Marie

looked at Aubree nervously, afraid that she would be

rejected immediately.

Get Borut

Aubree chuckled and looked at Marie, “Oh? Ms. Spence, do you work in film and television?”

Marie nodded, “Yes, I read Old Mr. Berry’s book and thought that turning it into a movie would definitely

be a huge success, so I specifically came to Bordeaux to visit you.”

Aubree greeted Marie with a smile and invited her to sit down, saying, “Ms. Spence, there’s no need to

be nervous, let’s just have a casual chat.”

Marie followed Aubree and sat down on the wicker chairs in the garden. The housekeeper brought

refreshments and offered her a morning snack. Marie took a sip of coffee, and the rich aroma of roses

filled her nostrils, fragrant.

and natural.

“Ms. Spence, why would you think that if I gave you the copyrights, you could make this movie well?”

Aubree asked.

Marie put down her coffee mug and said, “It’s because I have the best

production team resources, can hire the best director, and can find the most

suitable actors.”

Aubree laughed and seemed very happy, “Ms. Spence, you seem very confident. In that case, let’s talk

again when you find the suitable actors.”

Marie was about to say that she already had someone in mind when Aubree

stood up and said, “I’m tired, Ms. Spence, you go ahead.”

Before Marie could respond, a housekeeper had already rushed over to help Aubree back to rest.

Marie sat awkwardly alone in the garden and could only get up and leave. On her way out, she

grabbed two pieces of finger food.

Back in the car, Dennis asked, “How did it go?”

Marie shook her head, then nodded, furrowing her brow in confusion, and said, “I don’t know, it seems

like Ms. Aubree Berry isn’t as opposed to transferring copyrights as the rumors suggest, and our

conversation was quite

natural and gentle, but I also feel like she’s leading me on.”

Marie frowned, thinking about Aubree’s appearance just now, and said, “Let’s try again tomorrow.”

Dennis looked at Marie and said, “I can find other scripts for you.”

Marie shook her head, “You found this for me because you thought it was the best, right? I’ll try again.

As long as she hasn’t explicitly rejected me, I still have a chance to get it.”

Dennis nodded and said, “Let’s go, we’ll eat first.”

“Mmm!” Marie laughed and stuffed a piece of finger food into Dennis’ mouth, saying, “I grabbed it on

the way, give it a try.”

Dennis gave a helpless smile and ate the finger food.

Dennis drove her to a French restaurant, where they both had two steaks, followed by some desserts.

In the end, Marie was so full that she urged Dennis to go for a walk with her.

Bordeaux is considered the sixth largest city in France, with well-developed urban construction and a

relatively advanced economy. So, when Asher brought Carly to Bordeaux, Marie was a bit unhappy.

Two people were walking along the roadside, with beautiful silver firs on both sides of the road, lush

and thriving. Various people were sitting by the

roadside, very leisurely.

Dennis held Marie’s hand as they strolled leisurely, waiting until they had digested their food before

heading back.

Halfway there, a man with medium-length hair rushed over, startling Marie. Dennis protected her by

standing in front of her. The man extended his hand, holding a piece of paper, and asked in French,

“Do you want to buy this? 50 euros.”

Get Bogus

Marie peeked at the paper, which had a vivid sketch on it. There was a lush silver fir, a wide road in the

center, and a tall man with his arm around a suit. He held the girl’s hand, who was tall and charming,

with a relaxed and contented smile on her face. The two were looking at each other, talking about

something, as if they could only see each other in their eyes.

Marie was taken aback. Was this how she looked when she gazed at Dennis? So dependent and so

sweet?

Dennis took out 50 euros, handed them to the man, and received the painting.

He smiled and said, “Ms. Spence, look at your expression, not bad, huh?”

Marie blushed, “What do you mean ‘not bad’? Don’t think too much!”

“I wasn’t daydreaming, I was just looking at someone’s realistic painting and telling the truth,” Dennis

said with a smile, looking at Marie.
