Hearing this, the students raised their hands and cheered while Emily smirked, a look of disdain appearing on her face.
Meanwhile at Lowry residence, Henry was playing with his phone when he suddenly received a Reddit notification. Reading it, he burst into laughter before teasing Mason, “Young Master Mason, today is Janet’s first day of school. Have you seen the Reddit headlines?”
Mason widened his eyes slightly and asked, “What about it?” Henry laughed and replied, “Janet’s four friends enrolled in Star High School.”
Mason’s expression was solemn for a few seconds. After giving it some thought, he came back to his senses and replied, “Oh.”
“Oh?” Henry repeated curiously. “Don’t you care about Janet anymore?” Usually, if Young Master Mason sees news like this, he would’ve thrown a huge tantrum by now. After all, he gets jealous easily. But why is he so calm this time?
Mason raised an eyebrow while he parted his thin lips and said, “It doesn’t matter as long as I have a place in her heart!”
Much later in the Jackson residence, Emily was seated on the sofa holding onto Megan’s hand happily as she said, “Mom, I got first place in the whole batch during the final exam.” As she spoke, she pulled out her transcript and test papers from her bag and showed it to Megan.
Ever since Emily copied a painting, Megan had been extremely disappointed in her and because of this, their relationship was not as close as before. Hence, the reason why Emily worked hard and got first place this time was so Megan would change her opinion of her. However, Megan didn’t have much of a reaction. She only glanced at the transcript and said, “Okay, keep up the good work.”
Usually, Megan would be overjoyed and bring Emily shopping for new clothes and bags. But when Emily heard her mother’s words, she bit her lip and felt uneasy. After a while, she gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes as she sobbed in a hoarse voice, “Mom, should I leave the Jackson family?”
Upon hearing that, Megan felt her heart skip a beat. Even though Emily was not her biological daughter, the feelings she had for her for the past 18 years were definitely no less than a mother. However, Emily’s actions really made her heart ache. If she forgave Emily so easily, it would be unfair to Janet. After all, Janet was her biological daughter, not to mention the legendary Master Nato and it was because of this that Megan had a better reputation in the Jackson family. After a few beats, Megan helplessly said, “I really have a hurdle in my heart that I can’t overcome. After all, you were the one who wronged Janet.” Emily nodded and said pitifully, “I understand, Mother. I’ll apologize as soon as she gets home, okay?”
Megan was worried and didn’t know what to say. Just then, Janet returned from the Royal Garden and heard that Emily wanted to apologize to her. She stood at the doorway and lightly scoffed before she said, “Are you planning to apologize two months after the incident?” Deep down, Janet knew what Emily was trying to do. If she genuinely wanted to apologize, she wouldn’t have waited two months just to do it. Upon hearing Janet’s words, Emily felt her heart skip a beat and she turned to look at Janet with eyes that were red from crying while she pursed her lips tightly. Seeing this, Megan gently tugged at Emily’s hand and said, “Go tell Janet that you’re sorry.”
Megan couldn’t seem to figure it out. Emily grew up under my watch so when did she learn to lie and cheat? I’ve always had faith in the way I teach my children and know that I’ll definitely teach my children good morals.
Looking at Janet’s cold gaze, Emily deliberately put on a fearful act as she asked, “Janet, can you forgive me?” Smirking, Janet raised an eyebrow at her. However, just as she was about to speak, Grandma Jade came downstairs from the second floor after hearing Janet’s voice.
“Janet, you’re home from school!” Janet nodded and stepped forward to support Grandma Jade before glancing at Emily disdainfully. Emily was furious but she could only swallow back her anger. When Megan saw that Grandma Jade had appeared, she knew that she couldn’t talk about the incident anymore. Otherwise, Grandma Jade would think that Emily made a mistake because of her bad parenting.
