Mandy had known who Janet really was. However, she just couldn't help but feel jealous.
In terms of family background and status, Mandy had never believed that she was inferior to Janet.
In her eyes, Janet's achievements could only be attributed to luck and her family's influence. If Brandon hadn't been her husband and the White family wasn't her backer, Janet wouldn't have been able to make anything of herself.
Mandy's eyes betrayed the resentment she felt for Janet. No! She had to find out Janet's flaws.
Who had paid the very expensive price that Janet's first order had accumulated? The order involved designing clothes for the elderly or, at least, that was what was said. How could that be possible? Everything was definitely not that simple. She couldn't believe that Janet could be so lucky.

On their way home, Janet recalled what had happened that night. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you perhaps go too far tonight? Why didn't you show any respect to Brenna and Ewing on such an important occasion?"
Brandon sighed. An expression of grievance showed on his face for the first time. "Brenna bullied you first. I was afraid that you would only endure it and not fight back."
Janet took a pause before replying. "At that time, I just wanted to smooth things over. I just think that it's not a big deal. There's no need to embarrass everyone. Besides, Brenna knows a lot of rich women. Maybe she'll introduce me to them and I'll
get to design their clothes in the future."
Brandon smiled. Janet's thought process was beyond his expectations. He glanced at her and said, "You're actually thinking of your business."
Janet let out a little laugh. Proudly, she said, "I do know a little bit about business since I spend every day with you. I'm planning on opening my own studio. I've thought about it for a long time and I think it should have a good name, right? Do you have any suggestions?"
