Although Jane Sampson didn’t answer the call, Rock Bell picked up the phone very quickly.

"It’s about your wife and Shirley Young, right?" Rock Bell got straight to the point. "As soon as this matter came out, I knew, but I deliberately didn’t have it suppressed."

"..." James Black was silent for a few seconds and then let out a cold laugh, "Why can’t I reach her by phone?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Oh, she’s got night scenes tonight; she told me this afternoon that she’s filming in a mountain village, in the Grand Mountains, where there’s no mobile phone signal. It’s actually better this way, so she’s spared from seeing the news outdoors and letting it affect her mood," explained Rock Bell. "Jane’s starting point in the industry might be higher than the average newcomer, but her fame still isn’t enough. Moreover, her current work can’t quickly make it onto the TV screen, so having the topic of Shirley Young to bring her some popularity, I think, is quite good."

After pausing for a moment, Rock Bell continued, "And this kind of matter isn’t seen as negative news; it won’t affect Jane Sampson’s personal image. When it dies down, we can just issue a clarification notice at that time."

"Didn’t you see all those comments insulting her on Twitter?" James Black’s voice turned colder.

"So what? Is it going to make Jane lose a piece of meat?" Rock Bell tsked a few times. "If Jane Sampson can’t withstand even these few comments, she shouldn’t have entered this circle. Once she’s entered, she will have to accept some of the issues that exist in this circle sooner or later."

Rock Bell’s tone was serious. "Let’s not talk about a newcomer like Jane Sampson. Take an actress of Shirley Young’s caliber, a Movie King. On the internet, some people don’t like Shirley Young. There are those who will hurl written insults at her online. Unless you’re CNY, it’s impossible to be liked by everyone in the world. James, I don’t think Jane Sampson is so fragile that she can’t handle even this bit of criticism."

On the contrary, Rock Bell believed that Jane Sampson was more suited for this circle than she realized.

Just take the recent happenings within the film crew. Although Jane lives purely, she isn’t foolish. If she wants, she can certainly blend in well with a large group.

Rock Bell didn’t ask why Jane suddenly wanted to change her assistant, Elizabeth King, because she intentionally wanted to let Jane grow on her own. In fact, Jane’s direct request to change her assistant made Rock Bell see her in a new light.

It showed that Jane Sampson wasn’t lacking in nerve.

"James, from the moment you agreed to let her join this circle, you should have understood that, in this circle, nobody can walk a stable and peaceful path unless that person is the Young Madam of the Black Family," Rock Bell said bluntly. However, she believed James was clever enough to understand.

James Black was Old Master Black’s biological grandson, but because of his father’s side of the family, James had not had any contact with his father’s house. Old Master Black took James back home when he was little, and James even took Old Master Black’s surname. So, even though James was technically Old Master Black’s grandson from the outside, in reality, he was treated the same as Old Master Black’s own grandsons.

If Jane Sampson had debuted as the Young Madam of the Black Family, then nobody in the circle would dare to mess with her, much less utter a word against her.

It wouldn’t require much effort on Jane’s part—just the identity of Young Madam would be enough to secure her a safe passage in the circle, with no one daring to offend her.
