Chapter 1700

Lila spoke coolly. "Well, since no one ever mentioned it to you, now you know. Jamie, when you used to work in the service industry, weren't you well aware of these things? So why is it that now, after being with Ben, you've changed so quickly? Forgetting where you came from this fast is something else." Jamie had insisted on handling this meeting with Lila herself. Even though Ben had dropped her off and wanted to accompany her inside, she had stopped him at the door.

And now, it was clear. Lila, seeing Jamie alone, felt free to mock and humiliate her without restraint.

Jamie stood abruptly, her presence suddenly intense. "Lila, do you know why I'm here today?"

Lila sneered dismissively. "I couldn't care less about your intentions. But since you're here, you should remember one thing I'm your client."

"Client?" Jamie couldn't help but laugh at that. "Did we finalize a partnership? You seem to have forgotten that just as you can choose not to work with me, I also have the right not to work with you."

She was done tolerating Lila's arrogance. Jamie had expected Lila to tone it down, at least until after the deal was sealed. But clearly, Lila had no intention of holding back from the start.
