Chapter 1013 A Path


    Mandy opened her mouth to speak but found her throat tightening up, at a


    loss for words for a moment.


    Fortunately, Amelia, who had been with her for years, already knew what


    Mandy was thinking. Amelia stepped forward and embraced her.


    “With so many guests today, let’s talkter,” Amelia said with a gentle smile. A


    few of her friends from mercenary also smiled and nodded at her.


    Regaining herposure, Mandy took a deep breath and walked to the


    stage, holding Jack’s hand.


    “Thank you all foring to my birthday party today. This is quite a surprise


    for me.”


    Mandy graciously addressed the crowd. She then walked to the champagne


    counter, picked up a ss, and, with a bold and carefree smile, announced,


    “Since we’re all here, let’s party!”


    Music filled the air, and everyone began to dance to its rhythm.


    Many guests brought gifts to wish her a happy birthday, and soon, a pile of


    presents umted at her feet.


    After thanking everyone for their kindness, Mandy pulled Jack aside. “When


    did you be so skilled?”


    Caught off guard, Jack had thought Mandy would ask about when he nned


    all of this. He hadn’t expected her to focus on his abilities.


    Jack pointed to Hunter, not far away. “Even though the issue with Bruce has


    been resolved, I kept hiring him to train me.”


    Mandy was surprised by the extent of Jack’smitment. She knew of


    Hunter’s remarkable skills but also of his inflexible nature. Hunter wouldn’t go


    easy on Jack just because he was the employer. If anything, he’d be even


    stricter. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    No wonder Jack improved so much.


    “But…”


    Mandy nced toward her senior fellow Amelia, a hint of unease on her face.


    Understanding her thoughts, Jack softly reassured her, “Over the years,


    they’ve always been keeping an eye on you. When I approached them, they


    didn’t hesitate to agree to celebrate your birthday. Perhaps you’ve just been


    putting too much pressure on yourself.”


    Under Jack’s encouragement, Mandy finally gathered the courage to walk up


    to Amelia and her senior friends, hand in hand with him.


    “It’s been a few years, and you’ve grown so much,” Amelia stepped forward,


    taking Mandy’s hand with a pleased smile.


    It had been a long time since Mandy felt such unease, but this particr


    unease made her feel incredibly happy.


    “How have you all been these past years?” Taking a deep breath, Mandy


    voiced the genuine concern from her heart.


    The smile on Amelia’s face deepened. “We’ve been good. But Mr.


    Campbell…”


    “What happened to him?” Mandy’s heart raced, looking anxiously at Amelia.


    With a heavy sigh, Amelia responded, “Three years after you and Bruce left,


    Mr. Campbell… Passed away in an ident.”


    Mandy’s heart slowly sank.


    Deep down, she had suspected something. She had caused quite a stir in the


    organization over the years, but Ronnie never once reached out to her.


    Initially, she thought Ronnie was mad at her because of the incident of Emma.


    But upon reflection, Ronnie wasn’t that type of person…


    She just didn’t want to think too deeply about it.


    “When Mr. Campbell left…” Mandy spoke with difficulty, always remembering


    that when she was at her wits’ end, it was the master who came to her


    rescue.


    Although from then on, she embarked on a path she had once avoided, it still


    gave her hope to carry on.
