Amelia had originally wanted to move to another section to prevent Lila from seeing Shannon, but Lila had already observed the situation.
It caused her to furrow her brows slightly.
Shannon's constant antics had been ruffling her feathers over time.
It was one thing if her antics were only directed at Lila, but even the cast and crew in the drama were affected. Yet, Lila couldn't locate any evidence to prove that Shannon was related to this.
The only thing that left her feeling like Shannon had her payback was the recent fluctuations in the Bolton Group's stock prices. The company's stock had been plummeting, leading to signs of internal turmoil.
She had learned about this during a recent dinner with Michael, where he casually mentioned it. He even said that if this continued, he might be forced to go back and manage the company.
Lila glanced up at the people in front of her.
Shannon looked at her with the same usual disdain.
This time around, she didn't mention any competition. Instead, she gave Vince a smile that seemed to carry a hidden meaning.
Then, she grabbed her bag and left.
Amelia rolled her eyes.
Once Shannon was far enough away, Teddy finally asked, "Did Ms. Bolton look at Vince like she's interested in him?"
Jamie questioned, " Can we not say such ominous things?"
There was no way the Lane family could afford to have Shannon in the picture.
Amelia chuckled. "She's desperate to marry, don't mind her."
Then, she turned to Vince. "She's already trying to win you over. Aren't you going to woo her?"
Vince scratched his chin. Why did he feel like Amelia was in a particularly bad mood?
He didn't say anything else and sat down at their table.
During the meal, the group tacitly avoided bringing up Shannon's matters again.
