"Letâs see if you wrap up filming, maybe youâll gain a couple of pounds." James noticed yesterday that Jane didnât seem to like packaged meals very much; she only ate one-third of the meal before she started fiddling with the rice in the box with her chopsticks.
The vegetables here are quite sweet, and the quick meal veggies generally have sugar and some bean sauce which Jane doesnât like.
James initially thought todayâs meal would come from a different place, but he learned at noon that the film crew had an ongoing cooperation with that dining hall, so every day they got their meals delivered from there.
James opened up the meals and handed the tableware to Jane, "This boxed meal, eat as much as you can, try to finish half, if not just give it to me."
Jane glanced at the vegetables, eyes full of delight, "I should be able to meet your expectations."
Then, Jane lowered her head and took a bite of rice, her eyes scanning the surroundings before asking Coco, "Have you guys noticed itâs kind of weird, the crew here seems to be deliberately avoiding us when they pass by? Just now, I saw someone who was exaggerating, almost sticking close to the wall."
"Really? Maybe itâs too hot, so they prefer hugging the walls." Coco Edwards made up nonsense with wide eyes.
No need to ask, itâs obvious these people were definitely talked to by Janeâs Sugar Daddy this afternoon.
When James put on a cold face, even Jane would chicken out; who else would have Janeâs courage, you know?
"Your explanation is so silly." Jane chuckled softly with the lunchbox in hand, leaning on Jamesâs shoulder, and turned to look at him, "Were they scared by you? I heard Jillian was scared to tears by you this afternoon? What did you do to scare her like that?"
"Iâll tell you when we get home this evening." James didnât plan on keeping these things from Jane, but such matters arenât the kind you casually talk about.
James Carter arrived back here over seven oâclock, and after he returned, he touched up his makeup, and the two resumed work.
James saw that Jane wouldnât be okay for a little while, so he first left the film set and went back inside the car.
He took out his mobile phone, found Joseph Shawâs number, and dialed it.
Due to the Carter Family connection over there, he had saved Josephâs number previously, but had never called.
Meanwhile, Joseph Shaw had also finished a meal with Jillian, and upon hearing the mobile phone ringing, Joseph took it out and saw it unexpectedly.
"Hello." Joseph answered the call, "James?"
"Joseph, please relay to your wife Jillian Carter, considering the face of the Carter Family, and yours, Iâm giving Jillian one last chance; if she troubles Jane again, I will deal with her, and then neither you nor the Carter Family will be able to protect her."
Jamesâs voice was cold, "Tell Jillian that Jane is just so lucky, she canât die, even being kidnapped, she could return safely. Unless Jillian can guarantee that her words wonât reach my ears, otherwise, she speaks a word, Iâll retaliate for Jane."
Itâs one word, not one sentence.
"Also, inform Jillian, everyone knows how her West Crossing was established, the Carter Familyâs money is not for her taking."
After speaking, James hung up the phone and then sent the recording he traced in the afternoon to Joseph.
This was a recording secretly captured while Jillian and Stella were talking.
