Chapter 2561 - 2569: What Else Can She Do
In the blink of an eye, peaches will soon be ready to eat again.
Jane Sampson turned her head to look at James Black, who was carrying her luggage behind her, and the corner of her mouth gently curved into a smile.
This time last year, she was still engaged in a battle of wits with James Black, but now she wasn’t intimidated by him at all.
"Is everyone just hanging around here because they have nothing to do?" James hadn’t even had enough time to chat with Jane, but this group of people eagerly surrounded her as soon as she arrived, keeping her completely boxed in.
"If you all really have nothing to do, I can find something for you," James gestured to the side, indicating for everyone to make way and not block him from reaching Jane.
"Chief, we’re not actually that idle. We just heard that sister-in-law is at the base, so we specially came over to greet her and catch up for a chat. Now that we’ve spoken, we’re off to get busy again."
At least one perceptive person replied, "Sister-in-law, we’ll head out now, and we’ll catch up tomorrow when there’s time."
After saying this, that person led his teammates away.
"Each one of them just loves flocking to your side." James placed the suitcase on the ground, dragging it along with one hand while tightly holding Jane Sampson’s hand with the other, "My wife wants to eat the fur peaches from the back mountain, and I didn’t grow legs just for show, right? I’ll pick them for my wife myself. No need for their help."
James looked down at Jane, "When the peaches are ripe, whenever you want to eat them, just let me know. I’ll pick them for you."
The king of jealousy made more vinegar again today.
Jane pursed her lips with a smile, then replied with a soft "hmm," nodding her small head and cheerfully followed James to his dormitory.
James’s place was always neat and tidy. As soon as Jane stepped in, James dragged her luggage to the bedroom. In less than one minute back and forth, Peter Gingery managed to sneak in unnoticed.
When James returned to the living room to find Jane, she was already sitting on the sofa chatting with Peter.
"What are you guys talking about?" James asked when he heard Jillian Carter’s name mentioned, "What can she possibly be up to?"
"Recently, you can constantly see her name and updates on Twitter, making it hard not to know about Jillian Carter’s affairs." Peter sneered, "Oscar Wilson told me today that Jillian Carter seems to be copying our Jane’s fashion style. He ran into Jillian Carter at the shopping mall today and almost mistook her for Jane Sampson. In her pursuit of imitation, Jillian even grew her hair longer."
"Just another case of a Dunning-Kruger effect," said James, who was aware of the buzz Jillian Carter was making these days on Twitter, "Jillian Carter’s company has been sold. She’s neither a circle insider nor a hot figure in the industry. People are interested in her news only because of her past identity. Nowadays, she’s no longer associated with the Carter Family. Soon, no one will be paying attention to Jillian Carter, and her news won’t be worth filming."
The hot topics in the internet realm change rapidly. Today, netizens might be discussing a certain event or person, but by tomorrow, these might quickly be cast aside.
"True that, it’s now the era of information explosion, with an endless stream of hot news. I’m only slightly annoyed at Jillian Carter imitating Jane’s fashion style. Adapt from anyone she wants, but of all people she chooses our Jane to copy — it’s blatantly seeking trouble!"
No matter how Peter thought about it, he felt Jillian Carter was doing this deliberately to provoke Jane Sampson. She couldn’t reach or retaliate against Jane now, so she’s using this method to agitate Jane.
However, if this issue were to be addressed, it would make Jane seem petty, because you just can’t control how others dress and present themselves.
