Chapter 487: Chapter 486: Meet Force with Force, Meet Water with Earth
"The film has wrapped up shooting and is about to enter the promotion period. Make sure to get Caleb Holt some appearances to boost his reputation while promoting the movie. I’m aiming to have it released during the Golden Week."
After South Grant finished speaking, Shawn Grant didn’t react at all. After a while, he looked at South and said,
"I’m already aware of all this. No need for you to worry. You’re set on being an actor and enjoying making films, right? Just focus on being an actor. I’ll handle everything in the company."
With those words from Shawn, South knew what was going on.
Someone must have been whispering in Shawn’s ear. He can’t make decisions on his own, and he just goes along with what others say.
And that person, most likely, is Shawn’s mother, Joy Clayton.
There’s no way Joy would watch Shawn being used by others. No one knows better than a mother, and Shawn is a failure—Joy knows this better than anyone.
It must be during the time she was away that Joy reached out to Shawn again.
South remained expressionless, then smiled at Shawn.
"Alright, with Uncle there, I’m relieved. I won’t meddle in matters of the company."
South said this and then left.
Once outside, South called Jackson Zane over.
"What did Shawn do while I was gone for this month?"
Jackson considered himself South’s man, so for the past month, he had been watching Shawn closely.
Upon hearing South’s question, Jackson replied,
"Rhiannon Grant from Stellaris Corporation came over twice. The first time, she and Shawn had an unpleasant conversation, and it ended poorly. The second time, she came with her mother, Joy Clayton. After that, Shawn started acting differently.
I used to regularly send out press releases, actively promoting this movie, but after that meeting, Shawn halted all announcements regarding the movie and Caleb Holt, as well as the work in my hands. I think Shawn might have discovered the loopholes in the contract."
South raised an eyebrow. He had kept a backup regarding the contracts of Caleb Holt and Jackson. They weren’t signed under the company’s name but under his.
Normally, Shawn would just glance at contracts and sign, never bothering to read the content inside.
Joy Clayton and Rhiannon must have found out something and mentioned it to Shawn.
As South was pondering, Shawn’s secretary approached and, smiling, said to South,
"Young Master South, President Grant is asking you to come over."
South was taken aback for a moment, then said,
"Okay, I’ll be there shortly."
The secretary left.
Looking at Jackson, South thought for a moment and then said,
"What you said is probably true."
"What should we do then?" Jackson was getting anxious.
He knew South’s plan was nothing more than using the resources in Shawn’s hands to promote the signed artists. When Shawn eventually found out, it would be too late, realizing the signed artists were actually under South, with no significant relation to Shawn or Aetherium.
Shawn typically wasn’t involved with company affairs, and by the time he noticed, it would be long afterward.
Unexpectedly, Joy Clayton and her daughter found out first, which is problematic now.
"When the enemy comes, we fight; when water flows, we cover it with soil. It’s fine. Better to rip off the mask and confront it sooner rather than later." Saying this, South remembered something and spoke to Jackson,
