Chapter 321 Gratitude Beyond Words.
Master Harris’s words cut deep into Maggie’s heart, and a
arp pain spread in her chest.
But she knew he was right.
She fell silent for a few seconds, then looked at the old man and said slowly, “So, you want me to break up with him?”
Master Harris replied. “I know it’s not fair to you, but fairness doesn’t exist in this world. If you agree, you will receive a handsome compensation.
Maggie said nothing. Despite the fact that he too wanted her to break up with Nathael, the old man wast being quite polite.
Many people spend their lives dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family, like Vanessa. Every one of

“A lifetime only lasted for several decades, and love is just one of many pleasures. Ms. Adam, perhaps you should explore the world, broaden your mind, and find joy in other things,” Master Harris said in a calm voice, as if he were offering advice to an old acquaintance.
Maggie met his sharp and penetrating gaze. Her eyes turned red, and her throat tightened. “Will it hurt to let go?” she asked, her voice choking.
She didn’t know why she asked something so obvious. Even before the break–up, she already felt breathless: how could it not hurt?
But maybe she just wanted a different answer, something to help her deceive herself.
Master Harris said calmly, “Of course it will hurt. Life presents eight sufferings, among which are the inability to achieve your desires and the separation from those you love. How could it not hurt?”
Maggie said nothing. She lowered her eyes and concealed her tears.
It seemed that no one supported their relationship.
Then Master Harris continued, “But living shouldn’t be too easy. A little pain brings clarity, which might not be a bad thing.”
With that, he poured her more tea and added, “Eventually, you’ll come to terms with it.”
Maggie’s eyes glistened with tears. Her vision had turned blurred as she asked, “What if I never come to terms with it?”
Master Harris said with a smile, “That’s normal too. The world is full of hopeless romantics.
Neither of them spoke for a while. Maggie finally asked softly, “Do you want him to marry someone from the Brays?”
Master Harris shook his head and answered, “That was the plan, but he went too far and has declared war against them.”
Maggie furrowed her brows, but Master Harris reassured her with a smile. “However, he’s now allied with
Hearing this, Maggie relaxed a bit.
Master Harris continued, “Why don’t you think about what you really want?”
Maggie paused for a moment and said softly, I have three conditions.”
“Let’s hear them.” Máster Harris nodded, examining Maggie’s delicate face.
“First, I’ll pick five films and appoint the female lead. I decided on the films, and you have to ensure the films are released successfully.”
Master Harris squinted his eyes. He was surprised by such a seemingly unrelated and trivial demand.-
Indeed, this request was for Joyce. She might not have much time left, and she needed a lot of money to invest in film.
Indeed, the complexity of the situation may have limited her time. Without power and influence, there would be struggles and power plays, capital conflicts, scheming, and numerous uncertainties involved, from the script to casting, post–production, and even the final review.
“Who does Ms. Adam want to help?” Master Harris asked directly
Maggie was frank. She pulled out a photo of Joyce and replied, Joyce Sanders.”
Maggie said with a smile, “There’s an old saying, “Never fight an unprepared battle.”
A few days ago, Joyce auditioned for a role, but it didn’t go as planned. She ended up with a minor supporting role instead of the lead.
Maggie remembered that in her past life, Joyce had gotten the same small role, but her company turned it down and secured her a job with another project.
Master Harris chuckled and asked, You’re quite greedy, aren’t you?”
He agreed, “All right, I’ll grant you this one. When you have thought about this, you can contact him, and he’ll take care of everything for you.”
The young secretary stood behind Master Harris and handed Maggie a business card.
“My second request. If the Gatlins ever get into trou. I hope you can help them out.”

Master Harris remained silent, his gaze, which was studying Maggie, grew darker.
Finally, he said, “Jordan Gatlin has good luck. He’s bold, resolute, and has means, Jordan isn’t a bad If the Gatlins run into problems, I’ll give them a hand.
