CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 331: Chapter 339: Unacceptable Behavior

As she entered the door and returned home, Jane Sampson kicked off her shoes and made a beeline for the bedroom. She had one thing in mind—to save Shirley Young’s phone number, which she had memorized while carrying on her back, into her mobile phone. She hadn’t brought her phone with her to morning exercise, so she just now had to rely on her memory to recall it.

Seeing that Jane Sampson had entered the bedroom and didn’t seem to be planning to come out, James Black simply sat down on the sofa, where her script from yesterday was still lying.

After a moment’s thought, James extended his hand to pick up her script.

All of Jane’s third female role’s parts had already been highlighted in red font. James scanned through them swiftly, and when he was close to the end, he paused, his gaze falling on a particular scene.

It was the scene where the second male lead, Harry Humming, secretly kisses Jane Blackwood while she is asleep.

Since the drama was set in a historical period, all of the romance scenes were subdued and restrained, unlike the flamboyant and indulgent romantic entanglements of modern shows.

In the emotional setup of this drama, Jane Blackwood secretly loves the male lead, Windy Lancaster, but Windy has a fiancée, so Jane’s love, from the beginning to her final sacrifice, where she dies to save the male lead, is never expressed.

As someone who likes Jane Blackwood, Harry Humming is the only one who notices her affection for Windy Lancaster. It’s precisely because he notices that Harry continuously hesitates about whether to confess his feelings for her.

James continued flipping through to the scene where Jane Blackwood’s character dies, where Harry Humming, holding the deceased Jane, cries out in agony that he likes her.

This was the first instance of emotional expression in the entire drama; from the audience’s point of view, Harry Humming likes Jane Blackwood but hesitates to confess. This hesitation lasts until Jane’s sacrifice.

The words that never made it out, spoken only after Jane had died, would always evoke sighs from the audience.

James went through the script again, carefully making sure he hadn’t missed anything, then, holding the script, he headed straight into the bedroom.

Jane Sampson, who hadn’t left the bedroom for so long, was playing with her phone in the room. Listening to her providing her own sound effects—biubiubiu—James knew that once again, she was playing a game.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Jane Sampson, with only one hand free, had downloaded a new puzzle game and was engrossed in it, despite its simplicity.

”What are you doing?” A shadow cast over her head, and without turning around, Jane knew James was standing behind her. She paused the game and turned her head to look at James, seeing him holding her script, and she asked, ”Did you read it?”

Jane herself had only flipped through it briefly. ”As a defender, what do you think of this script?”

”It far surpasses those shows where they bring down a helicopter with just one gun and one bullet,” James set the script before Jane, tapping with his hand on the scene where Jane Blackwood was kissed after falling asleep, ”This behavior is not proper; how could a guard do something like stealing a kiss?”

”Huh?” Jane looked at James, who had spoken so earnestly, and was momentarily stunned. Then, after thinking for a bit, she said, ”But Harry Humming wasn’t enlisted at that time, he was just a playboy from a wealthy businessman’s house, idling away his time. Harry joined the team only after the character, Jane Blackwood, was sacrificed.”

James stood there in silence, and after a few seconds later, he spoke again, seriously calling out Jane Sampson’s name.
