Gwendolyn Young chuckled softly, "So, Mr. Carter says you donât like being called the âMonkey King of Samptonâ because it sounds particularly ruffian-like?"
Jane Sampsonâs expression stiffened for a second, her ears slightly reddened, and she nodded her head, making an acknowledging sound.
It was Jane Sampsonâs reaction that was simply too amusing, making Gwendolyn Young laugh for quite a while.
"Actually, the name âMonkey King of Samptonâ isnât that bad." Gwendolyn Young teased Jane Sampson.
Jillian Carter watched her mother chatting familiarly with Jane Sampson, as if they had endless topics to discuss, and she instantly lost her patience.
"Mom, we should head to our seats now," Jillian Carter urged from behind Gwendolyn Young.
Gwendolyn Young gave an acknowledging hum, then pulled Jillian forward a little to introduce her to Jane, "This is my daughter, Jillian Carter. Just like you, sheâs a rascal."
Jillian instantly felt embarrassed and replied with a cold face, "Who is like her?"
After speaking, she directly pulled Gwendolyn Young, saying, "Letâs go, Mom."
Gwendolyn Young sensed that her daughter was irritated and nodded to Jane Sampson before following her daughter to the seats in the front. When no one was around, Gwendolyn Young spoke to Jillian in a low voice, "Jillian, your dad mentioned recently that your temper has been getting worse, and I thought your dad was exaggerating. But now, it seems that your temper is indeed not good, and thatâs not a good thing."
"Mom, I canât stand Jane Sampson." Jillian Carter was frank in front of her mother, "So, can you not laugh and joke with Jane Sampson all the time?"
"Is it because the incident where you hid in King Town was exposed to your dad and your big brother because of her?" Gwendolyn Youngâs voice became somewhat stern, "Not to mention that she and your brother mentioned it, they did not intend to expose you. After all, she didnât know what you were doing. And remember the day you argued with your dad at the hotel; if it werenât for Jane Sampson pulling you away in time, do you know what the consequences would have been?"
Gwendolyn Young, hearing Jillian Carter say she couldnât stand Jane Sampson, took it as Jillian Carter holding a grudge against Jane Sampson for being brought back home from King Town by her husband. After Jillian returned home, Father Carter grounded her for quite a long time, not allowing her to step out of the door and reflecting on her actions.
It was only half a month ago that Jillian Carter admitted her fault, and Father Carterâs attitude finally softened a bit.
However, regarding Jillian Carterâs little idea about Jane Sampsonâs husband, Father Carter felt embarrassed to discuss it with his wife. He also felt that after Jillianâs reflection, she should have realized her mistake, so he had no intention of bringing it up with his wife.
Since Father Carter didnât say anything, Gwendolyn Young naturally couldnât think of the biggest reason Jillian Carter hated Jane Sampson was because Jane was James Blackâs wife.
Gwendolyn Youngâs status was obvious, so, naturally, their seats were at the very front, while Jane Sampson and the film crew sat in the fourth row, looking at the backs of the mother and daughterâs heads.
"Teacher Young is really as amiable as others have said, but her daughter seems a bit haughty and difficult to get along with." Someone muttered nearby.
Then, turning to Jane Sampson, they said, "Teacher Young seems to really like you."
"Teacher Young is a really nice person," Jane responded in a non-committal manner, leaving those who wanted to glean some information from her hitting a soft nail and wisely ceasing to engage further in conversation about the mother-daughter duo and Jane Sampson.
Actually, attending such awards ceremonies could be quite tiring. An entire evening where one couldnât leave early or arrive late, and throughout the event, cameras were everywhere. Whether it was male or female artists, no one dared to relax even for a moment.
