Chapter 144

After a day of rest at home, Debra decided to visit Macloria. She wanted to bring some gifts to see Bryce, and his girlfriend. Ramona. Stacey thought it was a good idea and wanted to join Debra but the latter stopped her. “You’ve been working so hard for the past few months. You finally have a few days off. Don’t go through the trouble of traveling to Macloria Just relax at home and enjoy life a bit.” Patrick also encouraged her to stay in Hivalis, suggesting several local attractions to visit with

the kids.

As Stacey looked at her parents, she couldn’t shake the feeling that they didn’t want her to go to Maeloria. However, at the thought of the unpleasant events there, she nodded. “Okay” Upon seeing her agree to stay, both Debra and Patrick breathed a sigh of relief.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, when Patrick left for work, Stacey took the kids to the airport to see Debra off. Despite the brief separation, Debra and Stacey felt uneasy and exchanged cuntless reminders until Debra passed through security and boarded the plane. Only then did Stacey return home reluctarily

With Debra gone and Patrick at work, the house felt empty. Stacey decided to entertain the kids by fishing in the pond in their yard. Adrian had mentioned that the fish in the pond were for catching. On holidays, they could enjoy some peaceful fishing there. Since it was their yard, they had planted large shade trees nearby, and under those trees, there was a comfortable lounge chair. She could sit and relax while enjoying the tranquility of fishing

However, it wasn’t long before Stacey found it hard to concentrate due to the children’s excitement. Lillian and Kevin kept peering into the pond, their constant chatter and movements scaring the fish away, “Shh! We need to stay quiet and still, or we’ll scare the fish away.” Stacey gently reminded

them, placing a finger to her lips. Upon hearing that, the two children covered their mouths with their tiny hands, their eyes wide with curiosity as they stared into the water.

Life at Carter Villa was peaceful until a week later, when Janet’s new drama, “Her Majesty, premiered. The show quickly became a hot topic, trending on social media, short video platforms, and major forums. All of a sudden, everyone was discussing about Janet

The forums quickly gathered comments: [Our celebrity, Janet, is stunning! She looks so cool and confident in her new drama. It’s a must–watch!]

[Exactly! “Her Majesty is incredible! I highly recommend it, guys! Go watch it now.

[Ahh. Janet is indeed an award–winning actress. She remains a top actress even after having a child. How does she maintain her figure?]

The sudden surge of discussions almost overnight suggested that there was a professional marketing team behind the scenes pushing the hype. However, regardless of any potential manipulation, the film crew of “The Empress couldn’t ignore the news. Malcolm, noticing the buzz, immediately forwarded the news to Stacey, anxiously seeking help. “Becky, have you seen Janet’s new drama, ‘Her Majesty? Does it seem plagiarized to you? It looks suspiciously similar to The Empress!”

Skeptical, Stacey thought, ‘Plagiarized?‘ She had noticed the news of Janet’s new drama but had chosen to ignore it, not caring how well she was doing. However, she thought it was problematic if Janet’s new drama was indeed plagiarizing The- Empress Curious, she returned to the living room, turned on the TV, and began watching “Her Majesty.” The more she watched, the more familiar it seemed. These were “The Empress plots. After two episodes, Stacey was convinced “Her Majesty had indeed plagiarized “The Empress. All those past events she thought she had les go of came rushing back. Upon seeing the blatant plagiarism, she couldn’t help but sneer,

Her anger was fleeting, though, as she quickly calmed down. Despite its initial popularity, “Her Majesty was nowhere near the level of “The Empress From the costumes and set designs to the actors‘ performances, “Her Majesty had a cheap, fast- paced feel, while “The Empress” was meticulously crafted in every detail. Most importantly. “The Empress had the original author’s backing. Hence, “The Empress” would not lose to “Her Majesty.” Just as Stacey had this thoughs, her phone rang Upon seeing Lynn’s name flash on her phone screen, she answered. “Becky, have you seen ‘Her Majesty?” Lynn asked.

Stacey nodded, “Yes, I just finished watching it. The characters and plot are very similar to The Empress

Lynn said in response, “I’ve compared them. It’s definitely plagiarism, but they copied the original novel of “The Empress,”

not our script. So, we’ll need the novel’s author to step forward and take legal action. Ms. Astley and I have discussed it, and we’ll contact the author to proceed.” Lynn continued to reassure Stacey, “Don’t worry about it. This matter will be handled. You don’t need to get involved. Just focus on waiting for “The Empress to premiere.”

Stacey replied, “Okay, I understand.”

Lynn looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Becky, would you be interested in taking on a few more projects? Your popularity is quite high right now, and I’ve received several scripts that could be a good fit for you.”

“What kind of scripts?” Stacey asked.

“A few different ones. I’ve reviewed them, and they’re all pretty good. I’ll send them to you if you’re interested,” Lynn offered.

Stacey eagerly nodded. “Yes, please.”

There’s one more thing. I have a friend who really wants you to endorse their product. Would you be interested?” Lynn asked.

“A friend of Lynn?‘ Stacey wondered. Curious, she asked, “May I know… what kind of product is that?”

“Robots. They want you to film a commercial for their robots,” Lynn explained succinctly.

“Huh?” Stacey was shocked, staring at Lynn on the phone screen in surprise.

Lynn laughed. “Don’t worry, they’re just regular robots, for cleaning the house and cooking. Very standard functions.” She was worried Stacey might think of more dubious kinds of robots.

After thinking for a moment, Stacey smiled and agreed, “All right

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, “Thank you so much for this.” Becky rarely accepted endorsements, and this time, Lynn’s friend had pestered her endlessly. She had approached Becky with a trial mentality, and fortunately, the Jatter was willing to do it for her sake

“You’re welcome, Lynn, Stacey replied with a smile.

Lynn nodded. “Mm.”
