Chapter 1013 A Path
Mandy opened her mouth to speak but found her throat tightening up, at a
loss for words for a moment.
Fortunately, Amelia, who had been with her for years, already knew what
Mandy was thinking. Amelia stepped forward and embraced her.
“With so many guests today, let’s talk later,” Amelia said with a gentle smile. A
few of her friends from mercenary also smiled and nodded at her.
Regaining her composure, Mandy took a deep breath and walked to the
stage, holding Jack’s hand.

Mandy graciously addressed the crowd. She then walked to the champagne

Understanding her thoughts, Jack softly reassured her, “Over the years,

didn’t hesitate to agree to celebrate your birthday. Perhaps you’ve just been
putting too much pressure on yourself.”
Under Jack’s encouragement, Mandy finally gathered the courage to walk up

“It’s been a few years, and you’ve grown so much,” Amelia stepped forward,
taking Mandy’s hand with a pleased smile.
It had been a long time since Mandy felt such unease, but this particular
unease made her feel incredibly happy.
“How have you all been these past years?” Taking a deep breath, Mandy
