Reborn in Marvel, I am Iron Man's son?

However, Hollywood is never short of beautiful women, and the competition there is far more brutal than she imagined.

Because she was unwilling to degenerate and sell her body like other actresses, Rosalie never had the opportunity to rise to the top.

She has at most played supporting roles with one or two lines in movies, but more often she has served as a background character without any lines at all.

Rosalie ran into Tony Stark, who was there to support Hollywood's top actress Kathy Dale, at a wrap party for a film crew a few months ago.

Although Tony Stark has never admitted it, Kathy Dale has been claiming to be Tony Stark's official girlfriend for the past two years, and major news media outlets have frequently reported on their various scandals involving entering and leaving hotels and shopping malls.

However, midway through the party, Cathy Dale suddenly had a heated argument with Tony Stark for some unknown reason, and the two ended up parting on bad terms.

As Tony Stark left the party, he noticed the beautiful Rosalie in a corner and extended an invitation to her in front of everyone.

Rosalie was a little dazed at the time and got into Tony Stark's car in a daze, and spent the night with him at the hotel.

Rosalie originally thought that she would become Tony Stark's official girlfriend and even marry him in the future, becoming the mistress of the Stark family.

But when Tony Stark woke up the next day, he simply left a check for $50,000 and disappeared.

Rosalie could no longer contact Tony Stark after that.

She didn't have the other party's private phone number, and when she called Stark Industries, the only response was always a cold, "Do you have an appointment?".

She even went to Stark Industries in person, but was stopped by security guards at the door.

Rosalie had completely lost hope until she discovered she was pregnant, and suddenly felt that her chance had come again.

This time, however, Rosalie no longer harbored any hope of becoming Tony Stark's girlfriend.

All she wanted was for the other party to acknowledge her child's identity and give him a better future.

The next morning, Rosalie asked Daphne to buy her a copy of the San Fernando Valley Entertainment News on the street.

In the corner of the last page of the newspaper, Mark saw a photo of himself and Rosalie along with a news report.

Rosalie Payne, a 21-year-old woman, claims to have had a secret relationship with Tony Stark, president of the Stark Industries, and that she has a son with him. She demands that Mr. Stark acknowledge her and assume parental responsibility.

The report was very short, and the newspaper, clearly worried about legal trouble, made no guarantees about the matter; it was entirely Rosalie Payne's own account.

Rosalie was somewhat unhappy that the newspaper didn't put the story on the front page, but now she could only hope that Tony Stark would see it and come forward to acknowledge his child.

Manhattan, Stark Tower.

Tony Stark, who was wearing goggles and using a robotic arm to create an electronic component, heard Jarvis's warning.

"Sir, here is a news report that I think you should take a look at."

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark put down his tools and removed his goggles.

The large screen in front of him lit up, displaying the article about him from the San Fernando Valley Entertainment News.

Jarvis as it is now is not the powerful artificial intelligence of the future; it is just a prototype.

Tony Stark used it to monitor the entire United States' internet, television stations, and newspapers, and Jarvis would report all kinds of news about him immediately.

Chapter Three: A Warning from Stark Group's Legal Department

“Jarvis, contact the legal department and have them send a cease and desist letter to the San Fernando Valley Entertainment News and this woman named Rosalie Payne. If they keep talking nonsense, they'll see you in court!”

Tony Stark glanced at the photo in the newspaper and gave Jarvis the order.

Tony Stark might remember those famous actresses.

But he had completely forgotten about Rosalie.

I thought it was just another woman who was obsessed with money, or trying to gain attention and fame through this news.

Tony Stark had seen this kind of thing too many times. He gave Jarvis a single instruction and then stopped paying attention.

Toms Clinic.

The next day, Rosalie had Daphne buy her another copy of the San Fernando Valley Entertainment News.

She discovered that the article about her was no longer there; in its place was an apology statement.

[This newspaper published an unverified news report yesterday, which has somewhat damaged Mr. Tony Stark's reputation. We hereby issue this apology and hope to gain Mr. Stark's understanding.]

Clearly, after receiving the lawyer's letter from Stark Industries, the tabloid immediately and decisively backed down.

"how so!"

Rosalie looked disappointed.

The only newspaper willing to report on the matter has backed down, so there's even less hope of getting news about her and Mark to Tony Stark now.

"Dong dong!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.

Before Rosalie could reply, a young man in a suit and carrying a briefcase strode into the ward.

"Hello, are you Ms. Rosalie Payne?"

He walked in and looked at Rosalie on the hospital bed.

"I...I am."

Rosalie looked up at the other person absentmindedly and nodded.

“I am Grayson Taylor, an attorney in the legal department of Stark Industries.”

He pulled out a letter and handed it to Rosalie, his expression serious: "Now, on behalf of Mr. Tony Stark, I am issuing you a formal lawyer's letter warning! If you continue to defame Mr. Stark in any news media or other public forum, our Department of Justice will immediately take you to court and pursue the matter to the end!"

“No, you can’t do this! Mark really is Tony Stark’s biological son. If you don’t believe me, you can have him come to the hospital for a paternity test…”

Rosalie shouted excitedly.

“Ms. Payne, Mr. Stark has no obligation to cooperate with you on a paternity test! Our Stark Group has the top legal team in the United States. Trust us, we can easily send you to jail!”

Grayson glanced at Mark, who was staring intently at him from the crib, and softened his tone: "Look at this little guy, isn't he adorable! You don't want him to be born without a mother and have to be sent to an orphanage, do you?"

Upon hearing Grayson's threat, Rosalie, who had been excited, suddenly became dejected.

"Okay, fine, I promise I won't say anything defamatory about Tony Stark in the media or in public again!"

She herself was not afraid of the other party's threats, but she could not let Mark be born without a mother and then be sent to a place like an orphanage.

"I hope Ms. Payne will remember what I said today."

Grayson nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left the ward with a smug look on his face.

After Grayson left, Rosalie couldn't help but hug Mark, tears streaming down her face.

"Baby, I'm sorry, it's all Mommy's fault! Mommy can't give you a better life..."

Mark, held in Rosalie's arms, felt a complex mix of emotions.

This mother in this life is brainless and vain; apart from her beautiful appearance, she is utterly useless.

But her love for her son was genuine.

This moved Mark, who had been given a second chance at life.

"Rosalie..."

Just then, Daphne walked into the ward and handed Rosalie the bill she was holding: "Your hospitalization, delivery, and nursing fees for the past three days total $8650. Mr. Thomas wants you to settle these fees, otherwise he will ask you to leave."

"This……"

Rosalie looked troubled as she looked at the bill.

The money she usually earns on set is barely enough to cover her rent and daily expenses, so it's impossible for her to come up with so much money at once.

"Daphne, please take me to complete the discharge procedures! Also, please tell Mr. Thomas that I will pay the bill I owe the clinic as soon as possible."

After a moment's hesitation, Rosalie made her decision.

"Well... alright, come with me."

Daphne had originally wanted to persuade Rosalie to stay at the clinic for a few more days to observe the condition of the mother and child.

But she could see Rosalie's predicament and could only nod in agreement.

Fortunately, Rosalie is still very young, and because she practices dancing regularly, she is in good health and can now walk freely.

Daphne immediately took her out of the ward to complete the discharge procedures.

"Phew... I can finally leave this place!"

After the two left, Mark, lying in the crib, breathed a sigh of relief.

The sunlight in this ward is already insufficient, with only one or two hours of light entering each afternoon.

Rosalie kept a close eye on him, and every time Mark basked in the sun for less than ten minutes, she would carry him to a shady spot.

This has resulted in Mark only collecting ten points of sunlight over the past few days, which is extremely inefficient.

Once he leaves here, Mark feels he'll have more opportunities to sunbathe.

Mark then fell asleep again without realizing it.

When he woke up, Rosalie and Daphne returned to the ward carrying bags and packages.

The two not only completed the discharge procedures, but also bought a stroller, as well as some baby supplies such as formula, bottles, and diapers.

Daphne carried Mark to the stroller, Rosalie packed her personal belongings, and the two of them pushed the stroller away from the hospital.

Rosalie was still somewhat weak, so Daphne specially asked the clinic owner, Thomas, for leave to take her home from the hospital.

"Daphne, thank you! I really don't know what I would have done on my own without you."

Rosalie expressed her gratitude to Daphne, who was pushing the stroller beside her.

Rosalie had already clashed with her parents when she ran away from home to pursue her dreams in Hollywood against her family's wishes.

Rosalie was even more hesitant to tell her parents, who were conservative Catholics, about her pregnancy out of wedlock.

These days at the Thomas Clinic, Daphne has been the only one taking care of her, running around doing everything for her.

"You're welcome. We're best friends. This is what I should do."

Daphne responded with a smile.

Chapter Four: Super Brain Upgrade

After half an hour.

Daphne pushed Mark into a slightly old neighborhood.

The houses on both sides of the street have mottled exterior walls, covered with messy graffiti sprayed with paint.

Some trash cans were overflowing or lying on the ground, with plastic bags, aluminum cans, and various rotting debris emitting a pungent odor scattered around, and no one was cleaning them up.

There were also some abandoned cars parked on the roadside.

The car windows were broken, the body was rusted, and the interior was stuffed with garbage.

In a corner of the street, Mark also saw some tents made of cardboard, with homeless people of various skin colors lying in twos and threes inside.

"My mother actually lived in such a terrible place?"

Mark raised his little hand and covered his nose to block out the stench.

Now he understood why Martha was so eager for Tony Stark to acknowledge him as his illegitimate son.

She must be very unwilling to let her child live in such a place with her for the rest of their life.

Rosalie lived in an old five-story low-rent apartment building.

The apartment's exterior walls are bare red brick, and it looks quite old.

She rented a room on the third floor, and when she opened the door, the room was very clean and tidy.

"Rosalie, if the baby cries, it's either because he's hungry or he needs a diaper change. Remember to check the diapers carefully..."

While helping Rosalie pack her things, Daphne patiently explained how to take care of the baby: "Anyway, I live upstairs from you. If the baby has any other problems in the future, you can always come to me."

After Rosalie was settled in, it was already dark.

To thank Daphne for her care, Rosalie personally cooked a sumptuous dinner.

In the following days, Rosalie officially embarked on her journey as a new mother.

Having no experience whatsoever, she was completely careless and made numerous mistakes in everything she did.
