Mandy hadn't expected Janet to attend the dinner party. After she saw the heated exchange between her and Brenna from a distance, she became very excited, as she had been looking forward to something like this. She had thought Brenna would teach Janet a lesson, and didn't expect that Brenna herself would rather be taught a lesson by Brandon.
Mandy had never seen her as embarrassed as she was today!
"Brandon has some nerve. Who does he think he is? Does he think he can do whatever he wants in Barnes just because he's rich? Unbelievable!" She put her glass down and got ready to walk over to help.
"Calm down, Mandy!" Draco commanded in a cold voice, grabbing her wrist firmly and giving her a stern look.
Mandy was shocked by his reaction. "Why are you upset with me? It's your employee, Janet, that you need to be upset with! She needs some discipline!" She could sense the anger in his tone and knew that he was trying to stand up for Janet.
In addition to that, he had been mean to her the entire night.
Mandy had thought that Draco was there to apologize, but now she understood that he only came there to confront her.
"You keep picking on Janet. On several occasions I've had to remind you to desist from it." Draco let go of her wrist and said coldly, "You didn't feel any remorse at all, and you ended up getting Brenna in trouble. You're so stubborn."
Mandy suddenly felt inexplicable sadness. She anxiously asked, "Do you mean to say that I intentionally brought Janet here tonight?"
The mere thought of that was ridiculous.
"Mrs. Olson and I didn't know that she would be here today. Mrs. Olson didn't plan this." Mandy had never been this devastated by Draco's disapproval.
He squinted his eyes and asked, "Wasn't it Brenna who brought a lot of bad press to W Marks? I've already spoken to the media outlets, and they all said that she was the one who leaked the information to them."
