Upon hearing Janet's scream, Brandon, who had been focused on eavesdropping at the door, grew nervous and burst in without thinking.
"What happened?"
Seeing Brandon enter aggressively, Mandy trembled with fear.
Frowning, Janet glanced at Brandon, who had suddenly rushed in, and then at Mandy, who was frightened by him. She discreetly winked at him, inquiring if he had something to say.
Brandon sat down beside Janet, still on guard, and shook his head, indicating he had nothing to say.
Janet motioned for Brandon to remain silent with her eyes. Then she turned to Mandy and asked patiently, "What do you want?"
Mandy did her best to suppress her fear and said, "I just wanted to tell you that even though I lost this time, I will definitely defeat you next time with my own abilities!"
Hearing Mandy's words, Brandon was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Mandy glanced timidly at Brandon, and remained silent.
However, Janet understood Mandy's intentions. She extended her hand to Mandy and smiled. "Alright, I'll be waiting for your next challenge."
Was Janet trying to reconcile with her?
Mandy was taken aback when she saw Janet's hand. Her prejudice against Janet had shifted.
Brenna often took Mandy to social events, where
she met proud socialite ladies who would cut ties over the smallest things.
Yet, as the lady of the White family, Janet was nothing like that. She was gentle and generous, appearing unfazed by her arrogance.
Although Mandy had changed her opinion of Janet, she didn't acknowledge it due to her haughty nature.
Pursing her lips, she snorted, deliberately not shaking hands with Janet, and turned to leave.
Seeing Mandy's refusal to acknowledge Janet, Brandon's expression darkened.
