Vanessa had anticipated Phoebe''s furious confrontation, and she couldn''t help butugh gleefully on the other end of the line. "Miss Ziegler, do you dare?"


    Phoebe, feeling a rush of anger, stood with her hand on her hip in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the busy traffic below, and said coldly, "You''re wee to try." With that, she didn''t waste any more words and abruptly hung up the phone.


    Ever since she and Theodore had gone to the airport to pick up Vanessa, who had been trampled by her "fans," Phoebe''s career had been in a state of constant crisis.


    And all these crises stemmed from Vanessa, who whimsically yed a game of disappearing and then recklessly stabbed her own palm, turning Phoebe''s efforts to ashes in an instant. Phoebe didn''t want to be passively toyed with by Vanessa anymore. She needed to find a way to stop Vanessa from bouncing around uncontrobly.


    John knocked and came in,"Miss Adams, we''ve managed to control the online narrative."


    Phoebe nodded, "Good work. Have the PR department keep an eye on it tonight. Also, I heard your cousin is studying music in Pnd?"


    "Yes, Miss Adams, what about it?"


    Phoebe bit her lip and made a decision, "I need a favor from your cousin. Could she help find out what happened during Vanessa''s time studying in Pnd?"


    Lately, Vanessa had been too much to handle. Phoebe needed to know her enemy well to deal with these emergencies.


    John understood,"Alright, I''ll report back to you once she finds anything."


    "Thanks," Phoebe smiled, One more thing, schedule a meeting with Attorney Wood for me."


    John didn''t know why she wanted to meet with awyer but offered his help"Miss Adams, I''ve studied somew courses before. Unless it''s a professional-level case that involves litigation, I can give it a try."


    "I almost forgot, you drafted the HR contracts before. Then help me review a contract, see if there are any loopholes we can exploit."


    Phoebe walked over to her desk, pulled out an artist contract from a drawer, and handed it to John.


    John flipped through it and realized why Phoebe wanted awyer to review this contract-it was extremely meticulous, with each use designed to protect the artist''s interests as much as possible. He looked up at Phoebe, who sat in her swivel chair and gestured for him to finish reading.


    After reviewing the contract, John remarked "This contractpletely protects Miss Fitzroy, there''s not a single trapid out for her."


    Phoebe nodded"I''ve been studying it for days and haven''t found a breakthrough. If thepany can''t restrain Vanessa, incidents like today that drag thepany down will continue to happen." Seeing her troubled, John said "Miss Adams, this contract is indeed too tight, but we can think outside the contract to solve this problem."


    Phoebe raised an eyebrow, "How so?"


    John walked over to her side with the contract and pointed to thest use, which Phoebe read, "The final interpretation of the above uses is owned by thepany."


    John mimicked her eyebrow raise.


    Phoebe looked at him, then back at the contract''sst use, and had an epiphany, "I get it now. No matter how strict the contract is, it can''t override thepany. As long as Vanessa''s contract isn''t up, she has to abide by thepany''s rules." "Exactly, that''s why everypany''s employment contract ends with that line-it''s to restrain the parties involved in extreme situations."
