Bertha Swift only rembered the next day that Adam Piers hadn’t answered her question.
But Adam Piers was already gone.
In the following days, she was busy preparing to join the crew. Adam Piers also had early departures and late returns, so they didn’t see each other much. Bertha Swift often fell asleep with Adam Piers not yet ho, and when she woke up, he was already gone.
In mid-July, Bertha Swift joined the crew.
Joining her was her new manager, Kelly Brown.
Kelly, 43 years old, was exceptionally capable in her work. She was once very popular in the industry and had managed many big shots. But at the peak of her career, this professional woman suddenly got married and then left the scene, disappearing for three years.
This year, Kelly suddenly made a coback. However, the entertainnt industry had changed so much with new talent, though Kelly had shone before. After three years of inactivity, her previous company had no place for her, and she was even squeezed out by her peers. Ultimately, she decided to try her luck with Blueocean Entertainnt, never expecting to be chosen despite so many competitors.
For this reason, Kelly cherished this job greatly.
Knowing that Bertha Swift was now the only artist at Blueocean Entertainnt and that her na also included the word "Blue," Kelly didn’t know if the other party was the boss’s wife. However, she knew Bertha Swift had an extraordinary background and was a real Belle Heiress. Even though the Swift family had long declined, this didn’t an Bertha Swift didn’t have the temperant of a rich lady.
Kelly had worked in the entertainnt industry for many years and was well aware of the temperants of little princesses from wealthy families. So initially, she was worried that this heiress would be difficult to get along with when entering the circle until she t Bertha Swift. All of Kelly’s worries dissolved, and at the sa ti, an unprecedented ambition arose uncontrollably in her heart.
Bertha Swift also had a good impression of Kelly.
Her gaze was calm yet powerful, gentle yet firm—this was Bertha Swift’s evaluation of Kelly.
After getting to know each other briefly, the two entered the crew of "Grand Sche."
As the second lead in "Grand Sche," Bertha Swift attended the opening dinner and t the male and female leads. The female lead was Susanna Swift, a Best Actress with three Golden Awards, while the male lead was the veteran Best Actor, Masefield Hult. The third and fourth female leads were also well-known figures in the circle.
Counting it up, Bertha Swift was the only rookie without a broadcasted work, having gained so fa solely through scandals since her debut.
Bertha Swift knew this well, so she kept a low profile. But ever since she beca the second female lead in this major production, so things were beyond her control.
Usually, it was just the netizens gossiping online, which Bertha Swift could ignore, but things changed once she entered the crew.
The crew is a microcosm of society, often magnifying many of life’s conflicts.
Bertha Swift only had the filming experience of "The Doctors," and "The Doctors" was different from most crews. Its harmony was not sothing any crew could replicate. So, on her first day in the crew, she felt that everyone looked at her differently and even sensed their casual pointing and whispering, falling silent as soon as she passed by.
Those who have experienced sothing like this can understand how bad that feeling is.
Bertha Swift couldn’t help but frown slightly, and naturally, Kelly also noticed the situation. She sent Joy Polly out for a spin, and Joy quickly brought back news.
After hearing Joy’s report, Kelly imdiately understood the situation and looked at Bertha Swift with so concern, saying, "Bertha, you need to be ntally prepared. Soone in the crew might be targeting you."
Bertha Swift wasn’t surprised. The role of the second female lead in "Grand Sche" was too desirable. Having soone as obscure as her grab it drew attention and malice, especially from those who were determined to get the role beforehand.
She nodded to Kelly, "I know. Rest assured, I was ntally prepared when I ca."
Kelly was satisfied and relayed the gossip Joy Polly had heard to Bertha Swift.
Although Bertha Swift was ntally prepared, she didn’t expect the crew’s gossip to focus not on why the director chose her this ti but on the fallen Swift family and that she had been "sold" by the Swift family to a middle-aged businessman in a second marriage for thirty million.
Upon hearing these words, Bertha Swift finally understood what Kelly ant by saying soone was targeting her.
It turns out the enemy ca prepared.
Her expression turned a little stern. Milne Swift selling her for thirty million to Mr. Fletcher was an unspeakable sha for her. Afterward, Adam Piers sealed the news, so it only circulated in the upper class. She didn’t expect it to reach the crew.
"Bertha, I’ll handle this. Keep your mindset steady and don’t let it affect you," Kelly comforted Bertha softly, seeing her expression change slightly.
Bertha nodded, but her gaze unintentionally appraised everyone in the crew, though she couldn’t figure out who acted against her so swiftly.
And at that mont, Kelly looked in a direction and suddenly spoke, "We should know who it is soon."
"Hmm?" Bertha was puzzled. She knew Kelly was quite capable, but could she be so prescient as to identify the enemy without doing anything?
"I’ve seen an old friend," Kelly answered Bertha’s doubts, "This ’old friend’ of mine likes to use underhanded tricks. Today, with the crew’s start, many things may seem settled but are actually full of variables. Plus, many reporters are here today. If she could replace you while taking the opportunity, it would not only be convenient but also viral."
Listening to Kelly, Bertha’s delicate brows furrowed. Following Kelly’s gaze, she looked over and saw that the woman there was also looking back. Unlike Kelly’s gentle and charming deanor, this woman was petite.

For this reason, Kelly cherished this job greatly.
Knowing that Bertha Swift is currently the only artist at Blueocean Entertainnt, and that her na also includes "Blue," Kelly wasn’t sure if she was the boss’s wife, but she did know that Bertha Swift had an extraordinary background as a true Belle Heiress. Even though the Swifts have long since declined, it doesn’t an Bertha Swift doesn’t have the temper of a rich lady.
Kelly had been in the entertainnt industry for many years and was very familiar with the temperant of little princesses from wealthy families in this circle. So, at first, she was very worried that this Heiress with a strong personality would be difficult to get along with. But until she t Bertha Swift, all her worries vanished, and an unprecedented sense of ambition uncontrollably rose in her heart.
Bertha Swift also had a good impression of Kelly.
A gaze that was calm yet powerful, gentle yet firm—that was Bertha Swift’s evaluation of Kelly.
After a brief acquaintance, the two of them joined the cast of "Grand Sche" together.
As the second female lead in "Grand Sche," Bertha Swift attended the opening banquet and t the leading actors. The female lead was Susanna Swift, a triple Best Actress winner, and the male lead was the veteran Best Actor Masefield Hult. The third and fourth female roles were also played by known figures in the industry.
To put it plainly, Bertha Swift was the only one without any broadcasted work, a newcor who got a bit of fa purely through rumors.
Bertha Swift was well aware of this situation, so she kept a very low profile. But since she took on the role of the second female lead in this major production, there were so things beyond her control.
Usually, it’s just mindless chatter from netizens online, which she can ignore, but things were different once she joined the crew.
The crew was like a microcosm of society, magnifying many of life’s conflicts.
Bertha Swift only had the filming experience from "The Doctors," and unlike most crews, its harmony couldn’t be replicated. So, on the first day in the crew, she noticed that people’s gaze at her was sowhat off. She could even feel their casual finger-pointing, and when she passed by, they quickly shut up.
Anyone who had been through such an experience should understand just how unpleasant that feeling is.
Bertha Swift couldn’t help but slightly frown. What she noticed, Kelly naturally picked up on as well. She sent Joy Polly out for a stroll, and soon Joy brought back the news.
After Kelly heard Joy Polly’s report, she instantly understood the situation and looked at Bertha Swift with so concern, "Bertha, you need to be ntally prepared. There might be soone in the crew targeting you."
Bertha Swift wasn’t surprised. The role of the second female lead in "Grand Sche" was highly coveted, and being taken by an unknown newcor like her would attract a lot of attention and malice, especially from those previously determined to secure the role.
She nodded at Kelly, "I know. Rest assured, I was ntally prepared for it when I ca."
Kelly was pleased and shared with Bertha Swift the gossip Joy Polly had just heard.
Although Bertha Swift ntally prepared herself, she didn’t expect the crew’s gossip to focus not on why the director chose her but on the downfall of the Swift family and that she had been sold for thirty million to a middle-aged businessman in a second marriage.
After hearing this, Bertha finally understood what Kelly ant by soone targeting her.
It turns out the enemy ca prepared.
Her face darkened a bit, as the mory of Milne Swift selling her for thirty million to Mr. Fletcher was an unspeakable sha. But after that, Adam Piers had sealed the story, so it only circulated within the upper-class circles. She didn’t expect it to reach the crew.
"Bertha, I’ll handle this matter. Just stay calm and don’t let it affect you," Kelly gently comforted Bertha, noticing her changing expression.
Bertha Swift nodded, but her gaze inadvertently swept over everyone in the crew, trying to figure out who had so quickly taken action against her.
Just then, Kelly glanced at soone and suddenly spoke up, "We should know who it is soon."
"Hmm?" Bertha Swift was surprised. She knew Kelly had so skills, but could she be so certain about identifying the enemy without even doing anything?
"Saw an old friend." Kelly explained to Bertha, "This ’old friend’ of mine has a penchant for using underhanded tricks. Today’s the opening of the shoot, and many things that seem settled are actually quite variable. Plus, with many reporters here today, if they can manage to replace you, it would save trouble and stir up so buzz."
Bertha Swift furrowed her well-shaped brows slightly upon hearing Kelly’s words and followed Kelly’s gaze. Coincidentally, the person over there also looked over. It was a woman in her forties, unlike Kelly’s gentle elegance; she was a short woman.
