Chapter 1121 There Was Only One Person
As Janet’s thoughts were in a bit of a mess, she furrowed her brows before asking, “Aside from that she’s in Yobril, did you find anything else?”
“That’s all that I got. Her transportation details were highly confidential.”
To be untraceable, even by the MX—only one person was capable of doing so. Corey Hills!
It just proved her initial guess right. However, the situation was rather strange. Why would Corey save Emily? Simply to go up against Janet herself? She had a hunch that it wasn’t that simple.
As Lee didn’t hear any response, he asked, “Janet, are you thinking of the same person that I’m thinking?”
“You’re guessing it’s him too?”
Lee said nonchalantly, “Yes.”
Prior to her engagement, she was thinking of catching that person after that. Now that the engagement party is over, it was time to wrap up.
She raised her brows before her eyes turned into thin slits as she said, “We’ll make a trip to Yobril in a few days’ time.”
“Understood.”
Hearing the end of the sentence, she hung up the phone.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. To avoid disturbing the man who was sound asleep on the bed, she stood up to leave the room. The moment she opened the door, she was met with the maid who knocked on the door earlier. Frowning, Janet asked, “What is it?”
The maid then answered in a low and respectful tone, “Ma’am, people from the Jackson Family are here. I saw that they were your parents, so I let them in. They’re waiting for you in the living room. Would you like to meet them?”
After hesitating for a moment, Janet gently closed the door of the master bedroom before answering the maid, “Sure, I’ll head there now.”
In the living room on the first floor, Brian and Megan were seated in a reserved manner.
After contemplation, they finally mustered the courage to ask, “Janet, how is it that you’re J’Adore?” Not to mention, she had something going on with Mason.
At this moment, Janet dismissed all the maids on the first floor.
After all the maids in the living room had dispersed, and there were only the three of them left, Janet finally explained, “Three years ago, I got to know someone important in Markovia. He was the one who taught me everything—including the MX. In fact, he was also the one who helped me to build it.”
The way she calmly narrated the story made Megan feel uneasy. What exactly had she undergone to be able to speak about her experience so calmly?
“Janet, do you want to tell me about the things you went through?” Megan pleaded.
Without any expression, Janet replied, “I don’t wish to talk about it anymore.” Things that had passed were no longer important.
“Alright, alright. If you do not wish to talk about it, we won’t bring it up again in the future.” As Megan said that, she reached out, wanting to hold Janet’s hand.
Janet briefly raised her brow as she disdainfully avoided her mother’s gesture. Then, she looked up at her parents. “Are you two here to plead for Emily today? If that’s the case, I’m afraid that I have no idea as to where she is currently.”
“No.” Brian shook his head in denial. “Janet, your mom and I are here because we’re concerned about you.”
As Janet wasn’t used to such honest confessions, she stood up with an expressionless face. “Sure. Since you’ve seen me already, you can go back now.”
“Janet,” Megan called out to her.
At once, Janet stopped in her tracks without turning back. With her back facing them, she said, “Let me know when Grandma Jade comes back. If there isn’t anything else, don’t come here again.”
Her voice was tinged with coldness as she said those words in a firm manner.
Upon hearing that, Megan lowered her head.
Meeting them again this time, Janet didn’t even bother to question or blame them. She neither questioned Megan why she treated Emily so well, nor did she complain about being treated badly by her. At that moment, all she could feel was the distance between them. It seemed that Janet was completely disappointed. That was why she didn’t bother to bring up the past.
Recalling things that she had done, whether it be a sarcastic remark or an eye roll, Megan couldn’t help but feel that she was inhumane. Leaning on Brian’s shoulder, she buried her face as she wept. “Honey, what do I have to do to get Janet to forgive me?”
