Chapter 645 - 653: The Pitiful Part

"The exposé about you and Shirley Young was released by someone I hired," Mandy Forest said, her voice not low. After saying that, she self-mockingly curled the corners of her mouth, "Because I knew you had a close relationship with James Carter, I was blinded by jealousy at that time. It’s laughable that I thought by doing this, maybe you and James Carter wouldn’t be involved anymore."

"I also owe you an apology for tossing your fruits on the film set," Mandy laughed mockingly. "Those fruits were sent by James Carter for you, right?"

"Reflecting on what I’ve done today, I find myself ugly and shameless," Mandy leaned against the water pool, her voice soft, "When I first entered this circle, I was bullied like this as well. At that time, I hated these so-called seniors, and I told myself that once I made it, once I became what others refer to as a ’Senior,’ I would never act like them."

But in fact, she had become the very person she detested back then.

"However, the unauthorized crowd at the microwave wasn’t my doing, and neither was the person who leaked about you changing assistants. In this circle, it’s very likely that there are enemies hiding everywhere, so take care of yourself."

After Mandy had finished speaking, she called her assistant and left.

Jane Sampson watched Mandy’s retreating figure, and in a daze, she seemed to see a certain resoluteness.

Even though she was suddenly aware that it was Mandy who had done these things, aside from the trouble caused to Shirley Young, for which she had no right to forgive on Shirley’s behalf,

Jane felt no anger towards the troubles Mandy had caused her.

It was probably because the hateful person suddenly seemed pitiful.

Jane might not know or understand the ordeal between Mandy and James Carter, but Mandy’s tears gave Jane a great shock.

Such a proud woman, who, having debuted years ago and climbed the ranks to win the crown of Movie Queen through her own efforts, was now crying unabashedly in front of a female artist who could hardly be called a friend.

After washing her face, Jane Sampson only applied a few moisturizing skincare products before putting on a mask and calling James Carter.

Ten minutes later, James Carter’s car appeared at the gate entrance of Headquarters of JK Company, and Jane Sampson opened the back seat door to get in, with James Carter turning his head to smile at her from the rear seat.

"Mr. Carter," Jane got in and greeted James Carter. As she closed the door, Jane unintentionally saw someone standing behind a tree at the doorway, dressed in clothes that seemed to belong to Mandy.

"What’s wrong?" James Carter noticed Jane’s hesitation while closing the door and asked.

"It’s nothing," Jane shook her head, wondering to herself, Didn’t Mandy leave ten plus minutes before her? Why was she still at the main gate?

Was she waiting for someone?

Or waiting for something?

The dining hall was chosen by Jane Sampson. As a foodie, Jane had searched online for dining options in City S before coming, which is how she knew about that popular candy store.

The reservation was made in advance by Jane, and after she and James Carter got out of the car, James Carter’s assistant drove away without the intent to join them.

To accommodate James Carter, Jane walked very slowly because she was in conversation with him the whole way. So, even if passersby noticed the pair walking at a snail’s pace, they simply assumed the gentleman was accommodating the chatty lady and that was why they were moving slower.
