CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 2017: Chapter 2025: Announcement

Netizen: If it’s kidnapping, then it’s kidnapping. But why kill the person? If it’s for money or something else, why not say it? I curse the murderer to have no descendants, curse the murderer to die a horrible death, to be hit by a car when stepping out, to choke on a cup of water!

The reaction from netizens was as intense as expected, and Brooke Black put down the mobile phone.

She was secretly relieved, thankful that the news about Jane Sampson being alive wasn’t hidden from her and her brother by Old Master Black. Otherwise, at this moment, she would have been in pain too.

Jane Sampson had been watched by her as she grew from being a tiny child, no different from her biological daughter. Sometimes, when Peter Gingery and Jane Sampson quarreled, Brooke would side with Jane a bit more because she was a girl and had a tough time at the Sampton Family. That’s why Brooke always cherished Jane dearly.

If Old Master Black hadn’t early on secured the marriage contract between James Black and Jane Sampson in the past, Brooke thought that once Jane grew up, she would have hoped Peter could marry Jane. Because Jane was truly endearing and lovable.

As someone in the know, although Brooke’s expression was somber, she felt much relieved inside. At least with Jane and James together, there was no threat to her life. James could still protect Jane.

However, at the hospital, Coco Edwards, holding a mobile phone, saw the news suddenly and couldn’t help but burst out crying on the spot. Grid, lying on the sickbed, watched Coco cry to the point of almost losing her breath, yet couldn’t manage to speak a comforting word. The strong sense of guilt crushed him even more.

It was his dereliction of duty, his failure to protect the employer. Had it not been for Coco pulling him back in a crisis, it’s uncertain how he’d be living or even if he’d still be alive now.

Rock Bell stood outside the ward without going in, holding a mobile phone, slowly bent over, and tears slid bit by bit from between his fingers.

This news was no doubt a huge blow to both Coco Edwards and Rock Bell.

Rock Bell, who had been in the profession for many years and managed numerous artists, found Jane Sampson to be different.

Jane was Nina Rice’s childhood friend and someone she treated as a sister and partner with dedication.

Jane’s incident caused Rock Bell’s heart to ache, and he didn’t even know how to explain to James when he returned.

Rock Bell knew how much James loved Jane Sampson.

He was busy, yet he would always pay attention to Jane’s schedule, arranging everything behind the scenes to spare her from worry. To Coco Edwards, Jane was someone who changed her life.

A friend.

A guide and a giver of life.

An employer.

In the ward, all you could hear was Coco’s sobbing. Through a door, inside and outside, two people silently shedding tears.

Someone recognized Rock Bell and secretly photographed him leaning in the corner of the corridor outside the ward, quietly sobbing, and sent the photos onto the internet realm.

As Jane Sampson’s agent and another shareholder in the entertainment studio, Rock Bell’s reaction shattered the remaining hope any fans might have had.

Even Jane’s agent was this heartbroken; it meant Jane had truly left everyone suddenly, bidding farewell to this world.

Brooke Black, before turning off her phone after boarding, saw the photos of Rock Bell and quietly said in her heart, ”I’m sorry.”
