Chapter 213


    “Madelyn didn''t graduate from Hearnd College, right?” the actress said with surprise. “What''s she doing here?”


    A crew member whispered back, “We really shouldn''t gossip, but... you know, Madelyn’s ex, the one who died in that ne crash, went to Hearnd College too, right? Maybe she’s here to connect with his old friends on his behalf.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Homing''s a big deal. All the promising young graduatese back. Or maybe she’s here for Brian.”


    “So, she’s tagging along with Brian,” the actress muttered, curling her lip. “Their rtionship is so weird. They have a kid together. Why on earth aren''t they married? Doesn''t Madelyn feel slighted?”


    “I know. And Gracia is pressuring for marriage. Whatever happened after that proposal, anyway?"


    “That''s high society for you. Think about that actress. What''s her name? She has four kids with a tycoon and still no wedding ring. It''s not like having a baby guarantees a spot in the elite. The rich y by different rules.”


    “Some of these heirs have a wife and keep mistresses on the side, and the legit wives just turn a blind eye. Who are we to judge their happiness?”


    Natalie sat quietly, listening without a word.


    Noticing her silence, the actress nced at Natalie and asked softly, “I heard your neighbor''s rted to the Howard family. Is the child Madelyn’s?”


    The idle chatter ceased, and all eyes turned to Natalie.


    It must have been since Nate and Brian visited. The actress must have spilled the beans to the crew.


    Natalie offered an easy smile before replying, “You''re digging pretty deep there.


    Even if the kid belongs to Madelyn, who''s to say without them confirming it?"


    “Fair point,” the group agreed, nodding before diving into another gossip.


    With a scene to shootter, Natalie stood up, grabbed her script, and moved to a secluded corner to study her lines.


    After some time, though, not a single word had stuck.


    “Looks like Madelyn did show up. Her agent just posted a picture of Hearnd College,” two passersby mentioned in their casual conversation.


    Natalie nced at them, then picked up her script again.


    As evening approached, the fan crowd thinned, leaving an unusual quiet.


    Without the fans* disturbance, the shooting progressed faster.

    After wrapping up all her scenes, it was just after nine o''clock.


    Natalie boarded thest service van. Rosie was about to follow when Miller, phone in hand and on a call, hurried over and pulled Rosie aside, whispering,


    “Take the van upfront. This one’s full.”


    Natalie caught a glimpse of Miller''s phone screen for a second, which shed


    “Mr. Howard.”


    Rosie looked puzzled. “Aren''t we thest ones? How''s it full?”


    Only one van was left.


    Then, Lundy and his agent finished their conversation and climbed into it.
