Jones Calvin’s team had a remarkable ability to shift blame.
They initially wanted to see his attitude. If he admitted his mistake, Thelma wouldn’t want to dwell on it too much, and they could let the matter pass. But now that he had shifted the blame onto them, it was truly too much. Did he really think Mira was a newcomer with not enough fans to bully her like this?
Fortunately, Connor had the foresight to report to the police without fear of trouble. Otherwise, with Jones Calvin’s blame-shifting and the strength of his fanbase’s comments, Mira would definitely be verbally attacked.
“Since Jones Calvin is being so excessive, let’s be straightforward,” Connor said, clearly angered, and turned to Mira. “You know him, right? You don’t mind, do you?”
Mira shook her head. “Of course I don’t mind. If someone slaps me, should I not retaliate and instead offer the other cheek for another slap?”
So, with Jones Calvin’s statement out, Mira also posted on Instagram. Her post had no text, only a few images: one of the police investigating at Thelma Studio, one of Jones Calvin being taken away by the police, and one of Jones Calvin giving a statement.
As soon as these photos were released, they caused a huge uproar.
Although Jones Calvin had many fans, he also had many detractors, especially since he was an idol who debuted in America based solely on his looks without much talent. Many passersby often criticized him.
So when these images came out, many passersby stood up for Mira.
However, that wasn’t the most exciting part. The most exciting part was that shortly after Mira’s post, Presley retweeted it with a comment: “I don’t know what’s wrong with this world; often, the greatest malice towards women comes from other women.”
Although Presley was no longer at her peak, her influence was still significant. Her retweet solidified countless people’s support for Mira.
As a result, the situation took a dramatic turn.
Maxwell never expected that when Jones Calvin went to find Mira, he would be reported to the police. Jones Calvin had never mentioned this to him.
Jones Calvin wouldn’t dare to tell him because he wasn’t detained. When the police took him away, they considered him a public figure and gave him a favor by taking him out the back door, so the reporters and fans waiting outside were unaware.
Jones Calvin’s Instagram post was sent by Maxwell behind his back. As his manager, he naturally knew his artist’s Instagram account password. The main account was used for work, so Jones Calvin rarely posted personal matters on it; it was mostly managed by Maxwell. He knew that when Maxwell posted this, he was so angry he almost fought with him.
Although Mira’s subsequent Instagram post was more direct and harsh, and he knew what he would face after that, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
After Maxwell understood the situation, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
A few days later, Jones Calvin held a press conference to apologize to the public and to Mira, whom he had harassed. His apology was very sincere, and he finally stated that he would accept public supervision and strive to be a positive energy artist.
Although Jones Calvin’s apology was timely and his attitude sincere, this incident had somewhat affected his reputation. In the short term, he would undoubtedly be mocked by the public, and having not signed with a new company, this incident would have a negative impact on his future development.
On Thelma’s side, although she breathed a sigh of relief, she still received a lot of criticism from Jones Calvin’s fans. Connor felt that although they were the victims, they should still keep a low profile at this time, so they rejected several commercial collaborations and accepted a charity documentary reality show.
This program was organized by a public welfare company, mainly filming celebrities going to rural areas to do charity work, helping elderly people in the mountains with farming tasks. With the New Year approaching, it was also a good opportunity to send some New Year supplies to the rural areas.
Connor thought this program was quite good, so he arranged for Mira to participate.
The location was a bit far, and since Mira’s assistant hadn’t fully settled in yet, only an intern had been hired, it might not be enough. Therefore, Thelma also had to go along. As the manager, Connor might need to discuss some cooperation issues with the public welfare company, so he also had to go. The studio was temporarily handed over to Phoenix to manage.
On the day before they left, Thelma went to Sam Noah’s office to find him. After just a couple of sentences, they began to engage in some shameful activities. Even Thelma found it strange; being with Mr. Sam seemed to turn everything into such activities. She didn’t know how they had such strong energy.
At this moment, Thelma was lying on his desk, with items scattered all over the floor, which Sam Noah had knocked down in a hurry when he picked her up.
