The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 1310

Misunderstood By Her...

Stepping out of the restroom, Mandy reached for her makeup when a familiar figure near the washbasin caught her eye.

Draco stood there, his icy gaze filled with disdain.

Mandy's heart raced instinctively as she felt Draco's icy, disdainful gaze.

Had Draco overheard her conversation with Vivi?

"Draco..." she said hesitantly.

He pursed his lips, looked away, and strode off.

Flustered by his departure, Mandy rushed after him and grasped his hand, attempting to explain, "Draco, it's not what you think. Please, hear me out."

Draco gently freed his hand from her grasp, his frosty smile and flat tone revealing his indifference. "Miss Hamilton, there's no need to justify yourself to me."

His cold demeanor left Mandy feeling humiliated.

Was she a terrible person in his eyes?

Did he believe she'd hurt Janet, prompting his frosty behavior?

Draco shot her another icy glance and continued walking.

Unable to bear the frigid atmosphere, Mandy blocked his path, her eyes welling up. "Do you really see me as despicable and shameless?" she choked out.

The anguish of being misunderstood by her prince charming emboldened Mandy.

She longed to clarify that she wasn't a shallow,

malicious person.

And so, they stood in a silent standoff near the restroom door, neither one yielding.

At last, Draco's heart softened, and he sighed. "Miss Hamilton, how long do you plan to stand here blocking my path?"

Feeling wronged, Mandy glared at him. "I just want to tell you that I'm not the despicable and incompetent person you think I am. I aim to beat Janet, but only by relying on my own abilities! You'll see. I'll prove it to you!"

Without waiting for his response, she spun around and dashed off.

Draco watched her flustered retreat, his feelings inscrutable.

Mandy found a secluded corner and lingered there, her heart gradually calming.

Taking deep breaths, she replayed her bold declaration, embarrassment threatening to engulf her.

"Am I an idiot?" she muttered, stomping her foot. "I've ruined any chance I had with Draco!"
