CEO's Reborn Wife

"Whoever did this is utterly lacking in morals! How could they bully someone as adorable as my sister-in-law? If it’s a woman, it must be some hideous, old witch, and if it’s a man, he must be the bitter, ugly guy who was spurned by my Jane and hasn’t gotten over it!" Peter Gingery started spewing insults non-stop as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Peter Gingery," James Black called out to the now ranting Peter Gingery, then lifted his finger and pointed towards the doorway, "You can leave now."

"Brother?" Peter Gingery wore an expression as if struck by thunder, "She’s being bullied, why aren’t you even a bit angry? After all the kindness Jane shows you, she even makes you beef balls!"

Since he was family, Peter Gingery’s initial reaction to seeing Jane Sampson being bullied was to immediately go and complain to James Black. Although he didn’t expect James Black, with his stiff temperament, to curse out loud like him, he still hoped that James Black would at least show some sympathy for Jane Sampson.

Instead, he was promptly sent away.

Peter Gingery now felt even more sympathetic towards Jane Sampson. It’s said that marrying is a woman’s second chance at life; Jane Sampson might not have been lucky with her first lot, but it seems her second chance is even worse than the first.

From now on, Peter Gingery thought, he would never talk back to Jane Sampson again. If he did not treat her better, there would be truly no one in this world who’d treat Jane kindly.

James Black didn’t have mind-reading abilities, so he had no way of knowing the multitude of thoughts running through Peter Gingery’s mind after being sent out.

After Peter Gingery had left, James Black looked long and hard at the photo on Jane Sampson’s Moments, then sent Jane Sampson a message.

Do you know who threw the fruits? — Jane Sampson’s Mr.Black.

On the other end, Jane Sampson, who had just finished her meal and was doing her makeup, saw the message from James Black and quickly replied.

I don’t know, when I got back yesterday after eating roasted sweet potatoes with everyone, I didn’t see the bag. I only heard about the fruits lying in the ditch in front of the home stay early this morning, nobody saw who threw them. — James Black’s Mrs.Black.

Hmm. — Jane Sampson’s Mr.Black.

Looking at the ’Hmm’ in the chat window, Jane Sampson pursed her lips. James Black always had a way of killing conversations; she had a whole load of complaints lined up to rant about, but he managed to stifle them with a single non-committal grunt.

Rather than talking to James Black, Jane Sampson felt it was much more satisfying to complain with Peter Gingery and the others—because they would all join her in cursing out the villains.

Even though she didn’t know who did it and couldn’t curse them to their face, venting was a source of joy!

Compared to her previous ancient costume roles, the era drama makeup she was wearing today was much simpler. Today’s costume for her script was a cheongsam. The clothing was said to be borrowed, quite aged already, yet it fit Jane Sampson perfectly.

In this drama, Jane Sampson’s character was named Jane Blackwood, and as an heiress in a rich family from the Republic of China period, her costumes in this show didn’t lack in comparison with the female lead’s at all.

Jane Blackwood’s role had a short romantic plot in this drama; it was her unrequited love for Windy Lancaster’s male lead, Shirley Young—an understated, kept-to-herself sort of love which was never expressed out loud. Jane Blackwood joined an alliance organization as an underground intelligence liaison after deciding to help Windy Lancaster, moving from rich young lady to a spy committed to the cause.
