The beautiful woman soon turned into a chattering child.

At first glance, she seemed sexy, but a closer look revealed her youthful features. She was only about twenty years old.
Juliette was confused by her sudden fondness, and she didn’t remember knowing her.
She asked tentatively, “Who are you?”
The girl was taken aback, seemingly surprised that Juliette didn’t remember her.
She quickly realized that the situation five years ago had been so tense, and there had been many girls locked up with her. So she felt that it was normal for Juliette not to remember her.
She explained, “My name is Thora Stokes. I’m currently working as an actress in the building next door, about five….*
Thora was about to say that she still remembered what had happened five years ago, and now that she had met Juliette, she would repay her kindness in the future.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Daphne appeared at the door and called to Juliette. “Juliette, what are you doing at the door? Everyone is waiting for you to finalize the film crew.”
Daphne stepped forward, took Juliette’s arm, and led her into the office building.
Halfway through, she glanced at Thora.
After entering the door, Daphne said, “What did that Thora say to you just now?”
Juliette said, “She said she knew me. She looked very excited, but I don’t remember her at all.”
“There are a lot of people who have gotten to know you recently. Everyone knows that you are going to make a movie and build a studio. You are a big boss in the entertainment industry now. Naturally, countless people want to get to know you and get some roles.”
Juliette smiled and said, “When did you become so sophisticated?”
Daphne was born into wealth and didn’t usually have to worry about things. So she could be very naive at times.
If there were no news media such as television and the internet, Daphne would probably know nothing about the world. Daphne said, “Our neighbor is a small film company. Thora works as a stunt double in it. She specializes in replacing actresses who are unwilling to take off their clothes to perform exciting scenes. She said that she knows you, so she is probably trying to use you to become famous.”
Juliette nodded and felt that it was indeed possible.
She smiled and said, “I don’t look like someone who is easy to deceive. If she is really suitable for a certain role, it’s not impossible to invite her to play it.”
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the conference room.
The building had already been renovated. Over the past month or so, they had only made minor changes.
The conference room was huge. After Juliette walked in, the staff all stood up to greet her.

Perhaps they all knew she was wealthy, so both famous and unknown candidates had come.
Among them were producers, directors, screenwriters, and so on.
Juliette had met a few of them before and had even worked with them.
As the eldest daughter of the Vaughn family that was a leader in the entertainment industry, she had the opportunity to attend various parties and events, but she rarely did.
While she knew of these people, she wasn’t particularly familiar with them.
It was somewhat amusing that directors and screenwriters who originally worked for Vaughn Pictures had come to her.
Everyone already knew that the first film she had was a revision of a book by a little–known author.
Before she even started filming, some people began to criticize the future of this film. They said that she couldn’t find good work and would definitely flop.
Others said, “Juliette still has self–awareness. Knowing that she is not good, she didn’t try to make some big productions. Even if it flops, she can still afford it.”
At that time, she and the Vaughn family had not completely broken up.
The Vaughn family advised her to directly make a big production, such as “Future War II“.
The copyright of the first “Future War” belonged to Vaughn Pictures, and the film earned 1.2 billion dollars at the box office, ranking among the top ten in the national box office list.
Therefore, the copyright of the second book had been bought by the Vaughn family.
The Vaughn family persuaded Julliette in this way because they wanted to have the money she had to make this movie.
In this way, the Vaughn family could just sit back and enjoy the success without having to pay anything.
However, Juliette strongly refused and stuck to her choice.
During her imprisonment in her previous life, to increase her pain, Bianca would essentially throw her newspapers every day to keep her informed of the outside world.
It was a great despair to be aware of the outside world but unable to leave the cage.
That desperate, unattainable pain was exactly what Bianca wanted her to feel.
However, Bianca’s actions gave her an understanding of future developments.
The movie she had chosen would be released at the same time as Vaughn Pictures’s big–budget film.
“Future War 2” had a production investment of 130 million, and with post–production, publicity, and other expenses, the cost reached 500 million dollars.
In the end, the film only grossed about 300 million. The attendance rate was too low, and the number of screenings in theaters decreased. It ended up losing 200 million dollars.
However, the revision of the book she bought turned out to be the highest–grossing film that year.
Therefore, Juliette had a plan for which director and screenwriter to hire. They would be all the same as what happened in

her past life.
The only difference was that the production company was now under her name.

Fortunately, the director and screenwriter of this movie in her past life were among the people who were present.
They were not famous yet, and they were not dressed well. They might have hit a wall in this industry for a long time.
These two people exuded a sense of despondency. Their spirit and energy were different from others. They were despondent but proud. That came from absolute confidence of their talent.
Juliette looked at them as a smile flashed across the corners of her eyes. She felt that these two were quite pitiful.
Hiring a crew was easy for her.
The difficult thing was how to deal with the screenwriter and director arranged by the Vaughn family.
Juliette said some polite words to everyone.
She also talked about some of her ideas about this movie.
Then she asked everyone to express their opinions.
She had already made up her mind, so she didn’t let everyone say too much.
The work continued for almost half an hour when Daphne rushed in from outside, her face full of anger.
Juliette excused herself and went to the next lounge with Daphne.
“Just now, the front desk called me and said Finn was here! They asked if you would allow him to come up!” Daphne said angrily.
She asked, “I really didn’t expect that he actually had the nerve to come to the company after you broke off your engagement with him. He wouldn’t try to seize the company from you because of the 2.7 billion dollars, would he?”
Juliette pursed her lips. She really not did not know the purpose of Finn’s visit this time.
In her previous life, she had been imprisoned on the night of her wedding.
In this life, she had already rewritten her fate of marrying Finn.
“Should I find some security guards to drive him away?” Daphne asked.
Juliette said, “You can drive him away for now, but not forever. Let him in.”
