Chapter 118
For the next three days, Stacey threw herself into intense practice. She stood in front of the mirror at home, repeatedly adjusting her posture and perfecting her expressions.
After being weak for so long, finding the strength to stand tall again was hard.
Thankfully, she had been fortunate. In her darkest hour, she had found her biological family, who supported and encouraged her tirelessly.
Now, whenever she thought of her parents, her three brothers, and their unwavering support, fears melted away, and confidence came naturally.

Taking on the role of Charlotte didn’t seem so daunting anymore.
The most crucial aspect was Charlotte’s innate queenly vibe.
Stacey gazed at her reflection, constantly tweaking her demeanor and micro- expressions.
She envisioned herself as Charlotte, who was admired by everyone in the cultivation world in her previous life.
She imagined her breakthrough in cultivation, her ascension amidst heavenly tribulation, only to be accidentally thrust into the void by a stray lightning bolt, landing her in this strange, technology–driven 21st–century Earth.
This world was utterly devoid of spiritual energy, so barren that she couldn’t perform any spells despite her cultivation level.
The people here were mere mortals with no cultivation to speak of. In her past life, such mortals would revere her as a deity, offering their most precious food as tribute at the mere sight of her.
With this vision in mind, Stacey worked on aligning her expression and gaze with that of the high and mighty Charlotte, who looked down on all beings from the clouds, as described in the script.
While Stacey was diligently honing her acting skills, over in Maeloria, Theodore finally found out that Rebecca had long left for Hivalis.
Theodore was shocked and in disbelief. He hadn’t expected that Rebecca had already moved out.

During this period; he waited outside Carter Villa almost daily, hoping to see Rebecca and have a proper talk with her. But day after day, he didn’t even catch a glimpse of her.
Not only Rebecca but even their babies were nowhere to be seen.
In the past few days, he hadn’t heard the child’s voice from Carter Villa nor seen the nanny taking the child out for a walk.
However, since Patrick and Bryce still went in and out of the villa daily, he instinctively assumed that Rebecca was still living there.
But today, he received a piece of news: [Carter’s Jewel in Maeloria had a new general manager. This new manager had taken over the branch, and from now on, the new manager would manage it as Patrick Carter would be leaving.]
Why would Patrick leave?
Under what circumstances would Patrick leave?
Theodore’s mind raced. He suddenly recalled that he hadn’t seen Rebecca, Debra, or the two babies in the past half month. It dawned on him instantly. Something had happened, and Rebecca might have already left.
He quickly investigated, and sure enough, Rebecca had left half a month ago, right after he had come to see her. The very next morning, she and the kids had moved out with Debra.
Utilizing his connections, Theodore found out that Rebecca and Debra’s destination was Hivalis.
He hurriedly rearranged his company’s schedule, resolved important matters, and cleared a few days off. Then, he quickly headed to Hivalis.
He didn’t expect that just as he had finally arranged everything and bought his ticket to Hivalis, Stacey also bought her ticket, flying directly to the shooting base in Aotori City.
Two and a half days had passed, and Lynn was waiting for Stacey at the Aotori shooting base,
When Stacey flew over, Charlie and Lynn came to the airport to pick her up. They had already arranged the best hotel for her, and she just needed to check–in.

“How’s the practice going? Do you feel confident about getting this role?”
Lynn asked Stacey in the car.
Stacey nodded. “Yes, I can do it.”
Lynn smiled and nodded.
Charlie was also pleased. “I’ve seen her practice. Her acting is top–notch.”
During these past few days, while Stacey practiced intensely, Charlie had video calls with her. He knew she was relentlessly honing her skills, so he had her turn on the video during her practice.
Watching the video, Charlie pointed out problems that needed improvement, helping her fine–tune her performance.
Stacey’s learning ability was impressive. With just a few practice sessions, she could correct the issues Charlie pointed out.
“Once we get to the hotel, show me a scene,” Lynn said.
“Okay, Stacey agreed.
Charlie laughed. “Lynn, you’re really invested in my sister now, huh?”
Lynn chuckled at his words, “I have you to thank for that. If you hadn’t recommended me to be her manager, who knows how long it would have been before I met such an outstanding artist.”
Charlie beamed proudly. “That’s right, my sister is the best.”
Lynn found his pride amusing.
But she had to admit that Becky’s talent and hard work were undeniable, and she truly was exceptional.
They soon arrived at the hotel. To ensure the privacy of the actors, they used a special entrance.
Aotori shooting base was different from other places. With many big stars coming and going, the high–end hotels here provide special passage services for celebrities. Entering through these passages prevented paparazzi from taking their photos.

When they got to the room, Stacey started feeling nervous again. She drank a glass. of water and took a brief rest before performing Charlotte’s role in front of Lynn.
Initially, she was anxious and fearful, but her fear vanished once she immersed. herself in the character.
She naturally embodied Charlotte’s lofty disdain for mortals.
Both Charlie and Lynn were stunned. When they snapped out of it, they were thrilled.
Lynn was excited. She exclaimed, “Perfect, Becky! Keep your performance, maintain this state, and you’ll ace the audition.”
Stacey adjusted her emotions, slowly stepping out of Charlotte’s character. As her vibe faded, she felt like a regular again.
“Yes, I’ll do my best,” Stacey said with a smile.
Lynn was both excited and happy. She quickly took out her phone and messaged Vicky Astley, the director of The Empress, informing them that Becky could audition tomorrow.
Vicky valued this script highly, believing that if it were filmed well, it could be a big
hit.
However, the entertainment industry was complicated. After starting production, many scripts were subjected to numerous modifications for various reasons.
Sometimes, it was due to actors being capricious, insisting on changes because they were close to the investors, leading to a muddled script that ended up a mess.
Other times, it was because the production ran forcing them to cut
out of 1 expensive scenes and replace them with cheap, poorly executed ones.
