Shawn Grant listened to South Grant’s arrangement and hurriedly said:
"Alright, I’ll go to Caleb Holt’s agent and tell Caleb Holt."
"Uncle, don’t rush. I’ll personally inform Caleb about this matter, and what happened to him this time is enough of a blow already. Uncle, you handed him the contract termination through his agent, and continuing to let the two of them work together might not be ideal. So I’ve decided to get Caleb a new agent. Later, you can attribute the contract termination to the agent, so Caleb won’t blame the company."
Shawn Grant thought South’s words made sense. He was contemplating how to explain the contract termination to Caleb yesterday, and South had already come up with a solution. He hadn’t realized her mind was so astute.
"Alright, we’ll do as you said. South, you’re truly brilliant. Uncle has made many mistakes in the past, but will certainly treat you well henceforth, like my own daughter."
Shawn Grant needed to win over South and seek her advice on dealing with Miles Grant.
For South, Shawn Grant’s words were as good as nonsense.
You want to treat me like a daughter, but I would rather be your boss.
When Shawn Grant tried to cozy up to her, South didn’t respond to his attempt, and instead chuckled dryly and continued with the work discussion.
"South, you mentioned getting a new agent for Caleb Holt. Who do you think would be suitable?"
Shawn Grant asked South, thinking she might have a good approach.
South was silent for a moment, then mentioned a name.
"Jackson Zane."
"What? Who did you say?" Shawn Grant looked incredulous at this moment.
"South, are you crazy? Jackson Zane is Hugo Lynch’s agent, the top gold agent at Vanguard. How could he possibly become Caleb Holt’s agent? The voice in the recording is Jackson Zane’s; he was involved in framing Caleb. Are you confused?"
South was not confused. In fact, she had her own plans.
When Jackson Zane mentioned at Marinus Shore that the show Rhythm of the Heart wasn’t suitable for Caleb and suggested Caleb should pursue higher-end roles and steadily establish himself as an actor, South had already thought of bringing Jackson under her wing.
Being able to become the top gold agent at Vanguard wasn’t just for show; he had both vision and skill.
If it weren’t for stumbling upon his room and recording the conversation, Caleb’s situation would have been a dead end.
Caleb would have been ruined.
Clearly, Jackson Zane’s methods were high-caliber.
Having varied strategies against opponents is perfectly normal.
Jackson stood on the opposing side; confronting her was understandable.
South didn’t resent him or belittle him; in fact, she admired him quite a bit.
"I know Jackson is Hugo Lynch’s agent. Based on my understanding of Henry Grant, having facilitated the investment in Iron Blood through him, there would definitely be the desire to avert any issues. Hugo Lynch is set to play the lead in that movie; any scandals would surely affect the box office, and replacing the male lead last minute leads to countless variables. The screenplay was crafted specifically for Hugo. Replacing him would cause significant losses for Henry. In such circumstances, Henry will undeniably scapegoat Hugo’s agent. Just watch, news will break soon that Vanguard pins all the blame on Jackson Zane. That will be the prime opportunity to bring Jackson in."
