CEO's Reborn Wife-Chapter 2096 - 2104: The Newcomer Surnamed Carter
Rock Bell isn’t like Nina Rice, chatting with Jane Sampson for no reason. The studio is over there, and Rock Bell is busy like a spinning top every day, so if he’s making a call to Jane Sampson, there must be something up.
"There is indeed something," said Rock Bell. "I thought we were fast on our side, but the director over there is even faster; they’ve actually found your stand-in."
"Huh?" Jane Sampson was dumbfounded.
"But luckily, the contract hasn’t been officially signed yet. James Carter called the director just in time to stall it. Otherwise, if it were ten plus minutes later, the contract would have been signed already." Rock Bell felt it was really Jane Sampson’s luck.
If the contract had been signed, then how would they manage?
"The girl is a newcomer, recommended to the director by someone. She’s previously done some magazine work, three centimeters shorter than you, skinny and fair. At first glance, she does look a little bit like you." Rock Bell continued, "Which is why the director saw her and decided to go with it right away."
Talking about this, Rock Bell suddenly laughed inexplicably, "Saying this might be a bit unkind, but really, who knows whether it’s the newcomer who’s unlucky, or if it’s you two who are a bit unlucky."
"What do you mean?" Jane Sampson was rarely hearing Rock Bell laughing so gloatingly.
"This newcomer is surnamed Carter," Rock Bell chuckled over the phone, "Hear that surname and get it?"
"Jillian Carter?" Jane Sampson blurted out, "No way! Approached her?"
"No, no," Rock Bell shook his hand repeatedly, "This girl bears her mother’s surname. Her mom has some distant tie with the Carter Family, but the relation is quite far. Still, technically speaking, you guys are relatives, and James Carter says that by generation calculation, this girl should call you dearest madam."
After Rock Bell said that, Jane Sampson burst out laughing herself.
"Am I of such a high rank?" Jane Sampson was almost laughing to death with the dearest madam term, "My grandniece?"
"Relatively speaking, yes, though it’s already one of those far-flung kinships that aren’t even qualified to visit the Carter Family during holidays." Rock Bell knew all this because James Carter had told him.
"Because of that tiny bit of blood relation, probably you two really do resemble each other just a little bit. But I saw the photo, and if you really wanna say how much, it’s just two points’ worth of resemblance. That girl’s gaze hides too much stuff, unlike your pure one which feels soothing."
Rock Bell said, "James Carter heard that this girl’s agency has already figured out how to make her an overnight sensation. They want to use your ’accident’ to generate some buzz and make her debut as the Little Monkey King Jane. To make her resemble you more, her agency even arranged for plastic surgery to boost her two points of likeness to seven or eight points."
This is something that insiders are used to. A newcomer trying to rise quickly must have a topic to talk about. To rapidly build popularity, then they must find ways to create buzz, right?
But as Jane Sampson’s family and friends, just thinking about this girl trying to use Jane Sampson for stunts to debut makes anyone feel disgusted.
Thankfully, Jane Sampson is fine.
If Jane Sampson had actually been harmed and turned into a deceased person, then this girl and her company would be stepping on the shoulders of the dead to rise up—that wouldn’t be even more revolting?
And exactly because of this agenda, this newcomer and her company are trying desperately to get the stand-in role for Jane Sampson in "The Sound and Shadow."
