Wendy didn’t know much about Ethan, but anyone with a brain could figure it out: If he wanted to crush her, it would be as easy <b>as </b>stepping on an ant!
Wendy took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “Then what do you want?”
Dawn had just started to find the courage to speak, so hearing this, she didn’t understand. “What?”
“How can I get you to forgive me?”
Wendy suddenly mmed her hand on the table and stood up.
Her eyes were red, and she shouted angrily, “I already apologized! And how could I be med forst night? Even if I hadn’t left, so what? Didn’t you see he had his driver and assistant with him? I couldn’t have won against them!”
Before Dawn could say anything, a cold voice came from behind. “So, Ms. Richardson, you’re justifying your actions?”
They both turned at the same time, seeing Janice’s tall, graceful figure walking over.
She casually pulled a chair beside Dawn, standing with her in a united front, and didn’t hold back.
“If we’re being nice, we’d say you chose to protect yourself at a key moment. But to put it harshly: How are you any different from a pimp?”
“What …
”
Wendy was furious but couldn’t find a word to answer.
Janice snorted. “I’m just telling the truth. Marshall and his assistant are under arrest. And the reason you’re here, giving us excuses, is that you’re lucky we don’t have real proof.”
Wendy said nothing, her eyes fixed on Janice, as if she could bear a hole through her.
<i>Janice </i>is telling the truth.
But so <i>what</i><i>? </i>

The police need <i>evidence</i>. <i>Besides</i>, <i>the </i><i>two </i><i>idiots </i><i>got </i><i>themselves </i><i>into </i><i>trouble</i>. <i>How </i><i>could </i><i>it </i><i>be </i><i>my </i><i>fault</i><i>? </i>
Wendy’s logic had been burned away by anger, and she quickly forgot Ethan’s instructions. She sneered coldly, “You’re right. I am lucky. What are you gonna do about it?”
“Nothing.”
Janice looked at her calmly. “But we have the right not to forgive you.”
Wendy froze.
She suddenly remembered she still had to answer to Ethan.
Janice gave her a faintly amused look, then grabbed Dawn’s hand, ready to leave.
“Wait!” Wendy jumped up, both afraid they would really leave and unwilling to swallow her pride. After a long pause, cheeks flushed, she blurted, “I’m about to leave Dreammaker Studios, so stop holding this against me, okay?!”
Dawn couldn’t quite understand her, why she was so desperate for their forgiveness.
Clearly, she and Janice didn’t really matter to Wendy.
But hearing Wendy say she was leaving, Dawn felt a small flicker of surprise.
She paused for a second, then said coolly, “It’s not about forgiving or not forgiving. I want nothing to do with you.”
With that, Dawn didn’t linger, taking Janice’s hand and striding out of the coffee shop.
All the way, Janice kept ncing at her from time to time, making Dawn feel slightly self- conscious. She let go of her hand. “Janice, if you want to say something, just say it. Don’t stare at me like that…
”
Janice couldn’t helpughing softly and sighed. “Nothing. I just feel like I worried for nothing.”
She had rushed over, worried Dawn might get bullied by Wendy.
The truth was… nothing happened.
“You’re tougher than I thought.”
Dawn vaguely understood what she meant and smiled. “I’m not that easy to bully, okay? I just don’t like trouble, so for things that don’t matter too much, I usually let them slide.”

But both Austin and Wendy had already made it clear.

When facing certain people, you have to stand your ground until they have nothing left to say.
Janice nodded, impressed. “Exactly! Anyone or anything trying to make you suffer, just deal with it and shut them up. Don’t overthink it!”
Dawn chatted a little more, then suddenly asked, “But Janice, I always thought you were afraid of Ms. Richardson. I didn’t expect you to actually confront her head–on.”
Janice paused, her gaze flickering away.
“Well … I used to think like you too. Less trouble is better than more trouble.”
That was true.
Besides, she couldn’t exactly say that she had already received a call from the boss and knew Wendy had been fired.
Piecing everything together, Janice had a rough idea of Dawn and Ethan’s rtionship, but since the boss hadn’t said anything, she dared not speak. She had to use another topic to stall.
Fortunately, Dawn didn’t press further and just murmured softly, “You always seem like you know some inside story.” <fna237> Readplete version only at FιndNovel</fna237>
