“Sigh, stop mentioning that. Those paintings were done a few years ago, but since she has now stopped painting, she doesn’t have any income.”
The crowd made comments about Janet that were uglier by the second.
Emily raised her head as a sense of pleasure flashed across her eyes. Things will become more interesting when Megan arrives later since she will definitely scold Janet.
As she wore a crimson gown, her bearings emanated the temperament of a young lady of the Jackson Family. She enjoyed being the center of everyone’s attention whereas for Janet, she would never be a match.
“Sigh, she has become so full of pride just because she’s Master Nato.”
“What is great about being Master Nato? Emily is soon becoming the successor of Royal Academy of Music in Yobril.”
“That’s right. Her title will be much higher than Janet’s.”
“Megan has overpampered Janet. If she’s my daughter, I would definitely have given her a slap to wake her up from her delusions.”
“I agree. Even Grandma Jade, an old lady who has always lived by the rules, has allowed her to do so.”
At that moment, everyone condemned Janet.
“What are you guys discussing?” Grandma Janet’s solemn and low voice suddenly reverberated throughout the entire hall.
Everyone was in the middle of their own discussions turned when they heard her voice.
Chloe, Brandon’s daughter, was the first to turn and approached Grandma Jade. “Grandma, did you see Janet’s attire when she arrived at the banquet?” Her voice reflected her disgust toward Janet.
Chloe was embarrassed to even describe her outfit as it was humiliating.
“Grandma Jade, Janet has humiliated the entire Jackson Family.”
With a slightly dark expression, Grandma Jade uttered in displeasure, “Who says that my granddaughter is humiliating? That’s because you haven’t seen her in a gown.”
Upon hearing that, the guests were embarrassed to continue to say anything. After all, they were only in attendance to join the fun.
Emily was unhappy to see that Grandma Jade was being protective of Janet. With her lips pursed, she walked up to Grandma Jade. “Grandma, I know that Janet is pretty, but what everyone said isn’t wrong too. It’s inappropriate not to wear a gown for such an occasion.”
“Then, I’ll allow you guys to take a look at her.” Grandma Jade had a faint smile on her face. “Janet, come on out.”
Right after she said that, the crowd’s gaze turned to the entrance of the banquet. Janet will be appearing soon…
Suddenly, the sound of high heels clattering on the floor was heard, attracting everyone’s gaze to the noise.
Grandma Jade beamed when she looked at the teenage girl walking toward her.
The hem of Janet’s long white gown had reached the floor and the shallow v-shaped collar in front of her chest accentuated her fair, slender neck, which made her look like a graceful and gorgeous swan. With little make-up on her exquisite face, she radiated a uniquely cold temperament, causing the crowd to glue their eyes on her.
In that instant, nobody was able to find a suitable adjective to describe her beauty.
Janet sluggishly strolled forward, causing those around her to fade into the background while bringing out her elegance. All the attention, which was initially on Emily, now shifted to Janet and those who critiqued that Janet was not Emily’s match were immediately silenced.
At that moment, Emily was shocked as well. That gown…
Chloe’s eyes widened as she stuttered, “G-Grandma, i-isn’t this New York’s latest spring release?”
Emily’s eyes narrowed as her hands were clenched into fists. Grandma Jade actually gifted the gown from New York’s spring collection to Janet?
It was common knowledge that the famous fashion designer—Yimi—had created that gown with a selling price of over a million. She had used satin to make the gown and the diamonds embedded on it were of the most transparent and pricey quality. Grandma Jade is actually willing to give Janet such an expensive gown…
The crowd had noticed it as well.
“Isn’t that the work by the well-known fashion designer, Yimi?”
“Oh, my God. Grandma Jade is really willing to splurge on her.”
“Janet looks like an elegant swan.”
“She looks absolutely stunning and Emily seems ordinary when compared to her.”
