Rebecca understood that learning was tiring, but every time she took a break and remembered her supportive family, all her tiredness seemed insignificant.
Time passed day by day, with Rebecca training every day. She would only take a break when the children cried or fussed, taking them from the nanny or Debra to feed and soothe them.
Charlie stayed with Rebecca every day at first, but later, he took up a job and had to go out for filming.
But before Charlie left, he specifically asked Rebecca’s agent to take good care of her.
His intention was for his sister to learn just enough to get by.
However, Rebecca didn’t want to be half–hearted. Having lived through tough times, she understood how precious days with her family’s support were. Rebecca knew the resources her family provided were one–of–a–kind and didn’t want to waste them or let her family down.
Shep
proactively asked her agent to be strict with her. Rebecca wasn’t afraid of hardship or exhaustion. She just
wanted to do her best.
Rebecca’s agent, Lynn Fox, was in her forties and had previously managed an award–winning actress, a top actor, and two well–known young actresses. Lynn was a renowned top agent in the entertainment industry.
Given Lynn’s status, she typically wouldn’t take on new talents, especially not someone like Rebecca with no acting background.
The only reason she agreed to be Rebecca’s agent at the L&K Group was because she owed Charlie a favor. Lynn was willing to manage Rebecca solely to repay that favor.
Lynn initially planned to just look after Rebecca casually for a few years and call the task done.
However, after spending a few days training with Rebecca, Lynn changed her mind.
She could tell that Rebecca was genuinely gifted, as she could pick up most things after just a bit of guidance. Lynn had worked with many artists, but ones with such natural talent were rare.
Most importantly, Rebecca’s attitude impressed Lynn. Her proactive request for strict training and her willingness to endure hardships made Lynn more optimistic about her potential.
A month passed quickly. The Carter family’s jewelry store in Maeloria was renovated and ready to open. Rebecca’s father couldn’t wait for her to visit the store.
He was concerned that Rebecca might not know how to arrange things when opening a store in the future, so he strongly insisted she pause her training and learn how to manage everything.

Chapter 52
Rebecca couldn’t refuse her father, so she politely asked Lynn for a day off.
Lynn readily agreed without any objections, understanding that everyone had pressing issues now and then.
Rebecca had been training continuously for a month without any complaints, working diligently every day, which was more dedicated than most artists.
With a day off, she went to learn with her father. Rebecca spent the entire day learning, and in the evening, she diligently wrote down her notes and locked them in a cabinet.
With the grand opening of Carter’s Jewel’s branch approaching, Rebecca informed her agent, Lynn, about her new role as the brand’s spokesperson.
Lynn was shocked by the news, as it was nearly impossible for a newcomer like Rebecca to be chosen as the spokesperson for such a globally renowned brand.
However, Lynn quickly thought of Charlie.
She wondered, ‘Perhaps Charlie was the one who got Rebecca this opportunity?”
With that thought in mind, Lynn asked, “Is there a contract? Can I see it?”
After all, she was now Rebecca’s, or rather, Becky’s agent.
Rebecca was her real name, but when signing the contract, Charlie had said that she would debut under the stage. name Becky instead of her real name.
“Yes,” Rebecca nodded. Afterward, she took out the contract and handed it to Lynn.
Lynn immediately began to review the contract.
Contracts between artists and brands were very important. Some brands assumed that artists didn’t understand them, so they included all sorts of unfair terms. Less famous artists could easily fall for these traps and, in case of disputes, might face enormous compensation claims.
But soon, Lynn became numb and thought, ‘Isn’t Becky…getting a little too much from this contract with Carter’s Jewel? Even if Charlie himself came forward to endorse Carter’s Jewel, it would be hard to get such a contract, right?‘
Rebecca noticed that Lynn kept staring at the contract and asked with a hint of confusion, “Lynn? Is there something wrong with the contract?”
Lynn immediately shook her head vigorously. “No. No problem at all.”
If anything, it was that the Carter family was too good to Becky, so much so that Lynn found it unreal.

The next moment, Lynn asked seriously, “Carter’s Jewel’s branch is opening soon. Have you prepared a dress?”
Rebecca shook her head and replied, “Not yet.”
She had been busy training lately, and whenever she took time off, she had to follow her father to learn how to run the company. Rebecca really had no time to get a dress.
Lynn took a deep breath and said, “It’s okay. I’ll arrange it for you. Just rest for the next few days and get yourself ready. I’ll let you know on the day of the opening.”
“Thank you, Lynn,” Rebecca said gratefully.
They hadn’t told Lynn that Rebecca was the heiress of the Carter family. It wasn’t that they didn’t trust Lynn, but until Rebecca got the divorce license, she and her mother didn’t want to complicate things.
Over at Evergrande Entertainment, Lisa excitedly entered Janet’s dressing room with an invitation in hand. “Janet, I got the invitation to Carter’s Jewel’s branch opening!”
