Brett was still frightened, "I haven't come home for more than one year, so I didn't recognize Natalie at
all at that time. Nancy asked me to drag Natalie out of that room, and I did it. Thank God it didn't go too
far."
Maggie touched her chin and said, "Nat came back different from what she was before today, it's Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
probably because someone backed her up so she spoke confidently."
Brett had been serving overseas before and had not seen Natalie in person, only in pictures. Today, he
met her for the first time and was scolded by her. Her eyes were like knives wishing to cut him into
pieces at that time.
Did Ken like Natalie's character?
Brett thought for a while and said, "Mind and behave yourself. Don't offend Ken."
"No," Maggie's face showed that Brett was a fool, "don't offend Nat, Brett."
Brett was speechless, but then he thought it seemed to be right.
Brett stood up and said, "I have other duties tonight, so I can't stay longer. I'll leave in a while after
seeing Grandpa."
"Alright. I'll also read the script for a while."

Natalie threw the fish food in the wooden bowl into the pond, and a group of koi fish suddenly
scrambled for food.
Then Natalie clasped her hands together and prayed silently.
When Natalie opened her eyes, Kendrick asked, "Are you making a wish?"
"Yeah." Natalie nodded, "It's said that koi fish will bring good luck. I saw so many beautiful koi fish at
once, which means something good will happen soon."
Kendrick looked at Natalie with a smile.
"You can make a wish, too." Seeing Kendrick smiling, Natalie quickly proposed.
"I've seen these koi fish in the pond since I was a child." Kendrick said, "Making wishes doesn't work
for me."
Kendrick only believed that he had control over his destiny.
Kendrick believed that man would conquer nature. In the game with nature, he wanted to win by half a
piece.
However, Kendrick still closed his eyes.
Natalie did not know if Kendrick had made a wish. She guessed that he was probably fooling her.
Natalie squatted down and put her hand on the arms of Kendrick's wheelchair. Then she suddenly
blinked and asked, "Do you believe in fate?"
Seeing that Kendrick was confused, Natalie added, "There are some predestined things, such as the
encounter of two people."
Kendrick's expression told Natalie that he did not believe in fate very much.
"Well, do you believe in the existence of parallel worlds?" Natalie said, "There's another world beyond
this one."
Kendrick stopped Natalie and said, "This may be better understood by discussing with professors of
quantum physics. I have a professor friend, I can recommend him to you."
"Oh, no, thanks. I just suddenly thought of it and said it casually," Natalie explained with an awkward
smile.
Kendrick probably could not understand it for a while when Natalie mentioned it suddenly.
After all, the scientific community had not yet reached a complete and systematic conclusion on this.
"Let's go back! There are too many mosquitoes here!"
"Are you attacked by mosquitoes?"
"Yeah, they only bite me!" Natalie mumbled, "It must be because I'm sweet and my blood tasted
delicious."
A breeze was blowing in the moonlight. Kendrick chuckled, which made the stars and the moon lose
their color, and made them not as dazzling as him at this moment.

Kendrick's bedroom in the Ramsey's mansion was cleaned up, and both his and Natalie's clothes were
also arranged and placed at the end of the bed.
When Natalie accompanied Kendrick through the living room, Maggie stopped her.
"Nat, could you help me choose the script?" Maggie asked, "I heard that you've taken the course in
literature appreciation, so I want to hear your opinion."
Hearing this, Natalie was confused, and she doubted whether she had ever taken the course.
Oh, that was the major that the original owner of this body dropped out of after two years.
"No problem!" Natalie replied directly.
Maggie hurriedly put her arms around Natalie and said to Kendrick, "Ken, I'll take Nat away, and return
her to you later."
Kendrick agreed with a nod, "I'll go up first."
Maggie pulled Natalie to the sofa and sat down. Then she pointed to a pile of manuscripts in front of
her and said, "My agent recommended me several ones, but none of them were particularly
satisfactory."
Natalie picked up a script at random and flipped through it. It was so boring that made her almost fall
asleep.
What a bad script!
Did the scriptwriter write it carefully?
Maggie's agent should be fired immediately for recommending this kind of script to her.
Natalie had to think about what the story was in the original novel.
At first, Maggie starred in a few bad TV plays because of negative encounters. She had an acting
method, but her looks in the TV plays were weird, and the plots were not schematic at all. In addition,
she came from a good family. For these reasons, she suffered lots of online criticism and catty
comments.
It was not until later that she accidentally starred in a low-budget costume drama that had been shelved
for two years, in which she played the role of the supporting actress, a subjugated princess who
refused to have romantic relationships but was intent on revenge.
The still of Maggie's smile and looking back with blood on her face in a red wedding dress went viral on
the Internet in an instant.
Since then, Maggie had made a turnaround.
What was the name of that play?
It was called The Fallen Empire!
The costume drama was about the twin princesses of a fallen empire. The elder sister was Kaley
Dillon, and the younger one was Kathy Dillon.
The elder sister, Kaley, was devoted to revenge. She hid behind a false identity and practiced martial
arts hard from childhood. She ran around with the royal princes to gather information for revenge, but
finally failed in revenge and fell from the gate tower through thousands of arrows.
Kaley dressed in red, falling in the wind.
The younger sister, Kathy, was sent to the palace at an early age. She cooked well, which successfully
attracted the prince who was picky about things. They both like to wander around the palace instead of
cooking or studying. Then they met and fell in love with each other. Kathy, who finally knew her true
identity, decided to put aside her hatred and live with the prince.
It was just such a script that was not too brilliant.
It was probably because the heroine was too silly and innocent, so the TV viewers preferred the
complicated and contradictory elder sister Kaley. They all sighed and felt sorry for her while making
complaints about the heroine's innocence and stupidity.
The TV drama was a hit.
Its spinoff shows were exceptionally powerful.
With these memories coming into Natalie's mind, she immediately sat up straight and glanced at the
script on the table. Unexpectedly, she saw the script of The Fallen Empire!
No matter how calm Natalie was, she could not control her emotions at this moment.
This script, which was supposed to appear two years later, unexpectedly appeared in front of Maggie at
this time.
Indeed, Maggie had mentioned that she missed this script back then.
If it were not for the fact that there was no script to shoot, she would not have committed herself to
being the female costar.
Natalie picked up the script of The Fallen Empire, glanced at the outline of the story, and then handed it
to Maggie in earnest.
Don't hesitate, that was it.
Maggie hesitated to take over the script. Seeing the determined look on Natalie's face, she hesitated
for a moment and said, "I've read it, but I don't think the heroine will be popular with the TV viewers
because she's a little bit hopeless romantic. Besides, the investors are not sure yet, so it's still unknown
when it will start shooting."
Natalie was surprised at what Maggie said.
Come on, Maggie, you will also be a hopeless romantic when you fell in love in the future, okay?
Natalie thought. The man who had a deep love also agreed to have a sham marriage with you, and
hurt you for the sake of the woman he liked. He abandoned you for profit, which caused you to have a
miscarriage. Although he was a complete love rat, didn't you forgive him in the end? Natalie thought.
"Girls were always hopeless romantic when they're in love." Natalie smiled and said, "I think the
supporting actress is vivid and substantial, which is more suitable for you."
"The supporting actress?"
"Well, it will be easier to attract the TV viewers and be loved by them forever."
Maggie nodded, "I'll have a look."
Natalie pressed her lips and said, "I'm just giving you a reference. It's up to you whether you choose
this script or not."
Natalie knew that the story of the original book had its trajectory.
As the original heroine, Maggie must have main character privilege, especially in her career.
Natalie hoped Maggie's character privilege never disappeared.
If the filming plan for this costume drama could be finalized, Natalie planned to invest in part of it
herself.
