Chapter 793 The Dream Shattered
Natalie was doing Esme a solid by making a cameo in her new movie.
During a break, she overheard some staff gossiping about a rich lady getting pregnant and stepping away from the industry.
"Did you hear? Alice is pregnant. Looks like she's really gonna marry into the top-tier Howard family. She's probably carrying their heir."
"Alice had a miscarriage before, but this time she'll probably take better care of herself. She's even stopped acting. She was filming Victoria's 'One Day,' which was rumored to have taken resources from Natalie, but the production halted due to funding issues and never resumed."
"Alice is pregnant now. She's precious and might not want to stay in the entertainment industry. After all, she'll be a wealthy lady, married into the Howard family, and her status will skyrocket."
"Keep your voice down. Natalie is still here."
The two hushed up real quick.
But Natalie had already heard everything. She pulled out her phone and checked the trending news.
Sure enough, Alice's pregnancy and temporary retirement were the top headlines.
Clicking on it, she saw some marketing accounts gushing over Alice, who was smoothly transitioning from actress to Mrs. Howard, living the ultra-wealthy life.
Natalie pressed her lips together and clenched her fists.
Suddenly, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Natalie didn't know what to do.
Lately, Adrian had been treating her better and better, and she was becoming increasingly dependent on him, feeling like she couldn't live without him. Adrian showed no signs of anything unusual, giving Natalie a glimmer of hope.
But now Alice was pregnant.
Natalie's dream was ultimately shattered.
Adrian still came over every day, but Natalie felt that something had suddenly changed.
Natalie asked Adrian if he liked her, and Adrian said he did.
But Natalie felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she was trapped in a dense net.
Natalie knew she had fallen into a quagmire and that there was no way out.
But struggling would only make her sink deeper.
Adrian said he liked her, but he had gotten Alice pregnant.
Time passed day by day, and Christmas arrived quickly.
A mini-series where Natalie played the lead role was also released.
Natalie's ancient costume look was very striking.
Even though it was only four episodes, her ancient costume style went viral, with many influencers imitating her high hair crown look. Natalie received more ancient drama scripts, and Dynamic Entertainment offered her two lead roles, but she turned them down.
Natalie used to spend Christmas with Rosalie, but this year, she was alone.
Since finishing Chris's film, Natalie hadn't joined another production because her own movie was about to be released. During this time, she appeared in some magazines and shot a few commercials. She had many scripts to choose from, but most were similar to roles she had played before. Natalie didn't want to keep playing the same types of roles; she liked challenges.
During this period, Natalie turned down all the scripts. Although constantly joining productions would earn her more, Chris had advised her to cherish her reputation and take on different roles and challenges each year as much as possible.
