Chapter 47 By Coincidence
Chapter 47 By Coincidence
Emelia sorted out the draft she wrote last night as quickly as she could and sent it to Viggo.
Her new inspiration last night was that the hero eventually got together with his first love and ruthlessly
abandoned the princess consort who had accompanied him through all difficulties, but instead of being
devastated, the princess consort chose to start her own business.
Many years later the princess consort became a wealthy silk merchant and half of the taxes in the
State Treasury were paid by her and her estates.
The princess consort was surrounded by all kinds of men, young and talented, martial artists, men from
powerful background, in short, living as exciting a life.
Viggo called her soon after reading the manuscript, "This plot is also very good, compared to the
previous version where the lord and the princess consort got together in a logical way. This version
could evoke the sympathy of audience with the princess consort being abandoned, but also it becomes
so satisfying when the princess consort turned into a strong and independent business woman."
Viggo didn't stint his words to compliment her, "And it also shows the independent side of women, the
intention is very good."
Emelia was happy to have Viggo’s comment. The script must be satisfactory to Yvonne, and if Yvonne
was satisfied, Julian would also be satisfied.
She added, "If you think this version is appropriate, I'll send it to Maisie."
Viggo said meaningfully, "It would be even better to add a mature and wealthy businessman character
among the men around the princess consort, someone who can take her into business."
Just as he did, he took her on a journey down the path of screenwriting.
Emelia had never thought that Viggo would have any thoughts about her. She had always treated
Viggo as a respectful senior, or even as a benefactor.
So when confronted with this proposal from Viggo, she didn't have much else in mind and after serious
thought, she said, "It can work. I'll add it later."
Viggo could only respond somewhat helplessly, "Good."
To be honest, he didn't know when he started to have fancy on Emelia.
He knew that his admiration for Emelia started with her talent, then her face, and now he was addicted
to her temperament and character.
He had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had seen countless women,
especially beautiful women, and he knew very well how valuable Emelia was.
In the past, perhaps because Emelia's heart was full of Julian, his emotions were suppressed.
When Emelia returned from her training abroad, she felt like she had been reborn.
There was like a light in her beautiful eyes and he couldn't help but be drawn to them.
It was just a pity that Emelia really seemed to be all about her career now, and seemed to be
completely closed off in relationship, so he could only court her slowly.

Julian felt a stomach ache after he left Emelia's place last night, and he thought it was probably
because he was angry with Emelia.
It just so happened that Arthur Hudgens was on duty at the hospital and he drove straight to the
hospital.
Arthur asked him to stay after getting a doctor from the relevant department to examine him, and then
he was forced to have hospital convalescence.
When Maisie knocked on the door with some papers and entered Julian's ward, Julian was half leaning
on the bed in a hospital gown and talking on the phone.
With an IV still hanging from one hand and his laptop resting on his lap, he still looked busy.
After Julian's phone call, Maisie handed him the document and then reported, "You requested to modify
the script, and Emelia has done so."
A thick shock welled up under Julian's eyes, "She finished?"
Julian admitted that he had called Viggo early this morning to request a script modification, purely out
of deliberate revenge to torment Emelia.
She had been saying she loved him for years, and now she was saying it was all a lie.
Wasn't it right for him to get back at her for being such an emotionally manipulative liar?
Now, Maisie now told him that Emelia had finished it, but it was only one or two hours ago, and she
could finish it?
It could not be a perfunctory statement, could it?
Julian took the printed script in Maisie's hand and read it carefully.
This version did not seem to be a three-minute quick draft. The ending was changed according to his
request, where the lord got together with his first love. But, what was it about that the princess consort
could live a wonderful life after she was abandoned?
Was she alluding to herself?
Was there a man like that around her?
Julian could not help but think of Harry and Viggo, and then gasped as his own stomach hurt even
more.
He had made things difficult for Emelia, but in the end, he was the one who was angry.
Maisie saw that he didn't look very good, so she hurriedly said, "If you feel anything wrong, just tell me,
I'll contact Ms. Jones later. Dr. Hudgens said you can't get worked up now."
Julian pursed his lips and tossed the script aside, then instructed Maisie, "Organize a meeting, sit Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
together and discuss it to see which version is more appropriate."
Revising the script was originally his deliberate revenge, but it turned out that he was surprised to be
attracted by the new script synopsis after Emelia modified it, and thought both were good.
Who the hell would have thought he'd love every version she came up with, so they had to sit down
and discuss it together?
Maisie responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Julian stopped her and said, "When did Harvey Norman become so nasty? Let's see if we can get a
new director."
Maisie, "..."
Although they were very wealthy, they could not just change the director since they had already
decided, right?
But thinking that her boss might want to replace Harvey Norman because of his nasty behavior on
Emelia, she responded again, "I know, I'll go check another director's schedule."
After the script was finished, Maisie reported to Julian about other work before leaving, and when she
was leaving, she ran into Yvonne opening the door with her lunch box.
Maisie nodded politely to Yvonne and greeted her, then walked away without a word, clutching her
papers.
Maisie and Yvonne did not have good terms. For one thing, Yvonne thought highly of herself and
disliked people from poor backgrounds like David and Maisie. For the other, Yvonne treated Maisie as
a thorn in the side, always feeling that Maisie was coveting Julian, which annoyed Maisie a lot.
She was simply a subordinate to Julian, and she had someone she liked.
But Yvonne always treated her with hostility and contempt, and even hinted several times in front of
Julian that she would be fired.
Maisie felt that Yvonne had tarnished both her loyalty to Julian and her fondness for the man in her
heart, so she was speechless.
After Maisie left Julian's ward, the first thing she did was call Emelia, "Ms. Jones, I just took the script to
the hospital to show it to Mr. Hughes, and he said this version was also very good, and since he could
not make his decision, he suggested that we organize a meeting where we could sit together and
discuss it."
