Although Jane Sampson didnāt answer the call, Rock Bell picked up the phone very quickly.
"Itās 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 didnāt have it suppressed."
"..." James Black was silent for a few seconds and then let out a cold laugh, "Why canāt I reach her by phone?"
"Oh, sheās got night scenes tonight; she told me this afternoon that sheās filming in a mountain village, in the Grand Mountains, where thereās no mobile phone signal. Itās actually better this way, so sheās spared from seeing the news outdoors and letting it affect her mood," explained Rock Bell. "Janeās starting point in the industry might be higher than the average newcomer, but her fame still isnāt enough. Moreover, her current work canāt 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 isnāt seen as negative news; it wonāt affect Jane Sampsonās personal image. When it dies down, we can just issue a clarification notice at that time."
"Didnāt you see all those comments insulting her on Twitter?" James Blackās 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 canāt withstand even these few comments, she shouldnāt have entered this circle. Once sheās entered, she will have to accept some of the issues that exist in this circle sooner or later."
Rock Bellās tone was serious. "Letās not talk about a newcomer like Jane Sampson. Take an actress of Shirley Youngās caliber, a Movie King. On the internet, some people donāt like Shirley Young. There are those who will hurl written insults at her online. Unless youāre CNY, itās impossible to be liked by everyone in the world. James, I donāt think Jane Sampson is so fragile that she canāt 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 isnāt foolish. If she wants, she can certainly blend in well with a large group.
Rock Bell didnāt ask why Jane suddenly wanted to change her assistant, Elizabeth King, because she intentionally wanted to let Jane grow on her own. In fact, Janeās direct request to change her assistant made Rock Bell see her in a new light.
It showed that Jane Sampson wasnāt 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 Blackās biological grandson, but because of his fatherās side of the family, James had not had any contact with his fatherās house. Old Master Black took James back home when he was little, and James even took Old Master Blackās surname. So, even though James was technically Old Master Blackās grandson from the outside, in reality, he was treated the same as Old Master Blackās 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 wouldnāt require much effort on Janeās partājust the identity of Young Madam would be enough to secure her a safe passage in the circle, with no one daring to offend her.
