In Jackson's villa, Janet reached home and saw Megan. After saying her greetings, she locked herself in the room.
Megan’s expression was gloomy as she intermittently glanced at the room on the second floor.
The villa was quiet; only her sighs could be heard.
It was only when another girl appeared that a smile finally showed on her face.
“Mommy, I’m back.”
Upon seeing that Emily had returned, Megan put on a kind and caring smile.
“Emily, you are back. Are you hungry? I’ll ask the housekeeper to prepare something for you to eat.”
Emily shook her head. “I’m not hungry. Mommy, are you tired? Let me give you a back massage.”
Megan nodded with a wide grin on her face.
The only person she could rely on was this daughter of hers, who wasn’t even her biological daughter—her biological daughter treated her like an enemy.
She gave her trouble after attending school for just a few days. Today, the teacher from Star High School specially gave them a call to tell her that Janet didn’t pay attention in class and flirted with boys.
Sigh, it was really embarrassing. Brian and my reputation, which we had maintained for all our lives, were destroyed at the hands of Janet.
“Mommy, is Janet home?”
Megan pouted while casting a glance at the second floor from the corner of her eyes. “She’s upstairs. Emily, help me to give her some advice.”
Emily patted on Megan’s back and consoled her, “Mommy, don’t worry. Although she isn’t serious in school, I’ll help to supervise her.”
Megan nodded as she didn’t know what else she could do.
Only this daughter is reliable.
When Emily went upstairs and knocked on the door, she intentionally pulled the window open to peek inside.
She saw Janet holding the most recent auction magazine in her hand while intermittently turning on her phone to send some text messages.
Emily found her ridiculous. She’s reading an auction magazine? Such a show-off!
However, Janet had long discovered Emily’s sneaky behaviors, but she didn’t expose her; she continued to chat on her phone instead.
Desire: ‘Janet, the Bronze Bull Head that we got from the UN auction has been returned to the government.’
Janet: ‘Okay. I’m comfortable with leaving the matter to you.’
Desire: ‘Janet, the reporter from Sandfort City wants to interview you about your thoughts on returning the cultural relics, and the mayor wants to see you too.’
Janet: ‘I’m busy. Reject them.’
Desire: ‘You refuse to meet them on such important occasions? Janet, what have you been up to lately?’
Janet replied, ‘I’m busy preparing for an exam.’ Then, she went offline.
Desire, who was in the middle of a task and finally managed to squeeze out some spare time, was dumbfounded.
The boss still needs to take exams? What exam? Driving license? Diving license… What else does she not have?
Right after Janet kept away her phone, Emily knocked on her door. “Janet, can I come in?”
Hearing her pitiful tone, Janet couldn’t bear to keep her out.
“What’s wrong?”
“Mommy is worried about you, so she asked me to come up to check on you.”
“I’m fine. Is there anything else?” she casually asked, raising her ending tone.
Emily bit on her lips, as if she was going to burst into tears the next second. “Janet, is it true that you hate me? Do you hate me for snatching away your mother’s love? Or perhaps because you hate me for refusing to leave?” As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. “But I’m innocent too! Janet, can you not treat me so coldly?” With tears streaming down her cheeks, she looked at Janet pitifully.
Janet, on the other hand, wore a smile while coldly watching her putting on an act.
