When Barton received Mandy's call, he was in the middle of a meeting. Since the awkward accident, he had not received any calls from Mandy, let alone meet with her.

Barton suspected that Mandy had a thing for him since that day, but the feeling was not mutual. He expressed his thoughts through Jean, hoping it would stop Mandy from pursuing him. So when he learned that she was calling, he was quite hesitant in answering. After all, things were awkward between them. Could it be that she refused to give up on him?

Looking at his phone screen, a hundred thoughts went running on Barton's mind. After hesitating for a long time, he finally answered. "Hello?"

Mandy waited anxiously for Barton to pick up her call. After she heard his voice, she quickly muttered an apology. "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Oh, it's fine. What's up?" Barton frowned and asked.

"I'm really sorry to bother you at this time, but it's about J

"I'm really fine," Jean replied stubbornly.

"Jean!" Mandy joined in. "Open the door now. Don't you know that your father and I are both worried about you? You are our daughter. If you have grievances, please open the door, and let's talk about it. Don't worry. Your father and I will never let go of whoever did this to you."

Thinking of what Mandy had said to him a while ago, Barton demanded, "Did that brat Terence bully you last night? Tell me, I will help you teach him a lesson!"

"Dad, it's not like that..."

"If you don't come out, I'll call him right now. I'd like to know what he has done to make my daughter so sad." Barton was about to press the call button when they heard a click.

The door opened and Jean stepped out. With tears all over her face, she said, "Dad, don't call. It has nothing to do with him.

I'm ashamed enough for what happened. Please don't call that man." She looked at him despondently.
