It was obvious that Emily was spurting nonsense.
“I had no idea that you and them were friends! Are they from your class too?” Emily put on an exaggerated surprised expression.
After all, she had met Janet’s usual, weird friends from her class umpteen times.
I don’t think those people are her usual friends, especially because of their height. The few dwarves who hang around Janet all the time can’t possibly be the few tall men who appeared just now.
“Grandma Jade, I shall take my leave first.” After finishing the tangerine in her hands, Janet dusted off her hands.
Grandma Jade nodded and smiled widely. “Go on. Your birthday is more important.”
With that, Janet turned around to give a few notes to the doctor before walking out of the ward.
However, an evil look appeared in Emily’s eyes.
Did Janet just ignore me?Is she looking down on me? She doesn’t even want to speak to me now! Hmph! She’s just acting all high and mighty. In reality, her private life is a disaster. I wonder where she has befriended those jerks, yet she acts as if she is popular. How shameless!
……..
When Janet arrived at the venue Mason set, it was already 1 AM.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she was greeted with a blast of confetti.
The room was quite big—it was a few hundred square meters—so it could accommodate around 100 people.
The lighting was dim when she walked into the room, and two rows of men in black standing on each side of the door greeted, “Welcome, Miss Janet. Happy birthday!”
Janet looked slightly awkward.
Is this even a birthday party? If someone else saw this scene right now, they might think that this is a secret meeting of certain underground groups…
“Henry, I’ve asked you not to pop those directly over her. Didn’t you hear me?” Mason stepped forward to brush off the confetti from Janet’s body apologetically.
“I’m sure she won’t get angry. After all, we’ve waited for so long!” Henry laughed and smiled furtively in a corner.
When Mason was cleaning her up, he glanced at her dress which reached her thighs. Immediately, he clenched his jaw.
He didn’t notice that in the hospital just now but now that he had seen it, he had an urge to kill someone.
After all, under that dress, Janet’s fair and slender legs were fully revealed, looking tender and alluring.
Did she come over like that just now? Damn, I wonder how many men have seen that.
Noticing his heated gaze, she straightened out her dress.
“Why are there so many people?” Looking at the few tall men in suits, she asked in confusion.
Upon hearing that, Henry waved them over and introduced them. “Miss Janet, meet Red Python, Black Python, White Python and Richard Atkins.”
With that, Henry paused before continuing, “They are all Young Master Mason’s subordinates, and they’ve just returned from a mission in Markovia.”
Janet slightly arched her eyebrows. “Hello.”
Hearing that, everyone gave her a perfect 90-degree bow. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Lowry.”
Janet was speechless upon seeing that.
“What ‘Mrs. Lowry’? My sister-in-law is still a student!” Seeing the peculiar expression on Janet’s face, he knocked everyone on their heads.
After being silent for a brief moment, she sighed and found a place to sit.
However, before she could even do so, Mason walked to her with his coat and squatted down next to her.
Then, he spoke in a low voice. “Janet, who are you showing off your beauty to?”
This sentence was enough for Janet to freeze mid-air, not daring to move.
Then, his hands went around her back and he tied the suit around her waist.
After that, he hugged her lightly.
“Even though you are an independent lady who doesn’t like to take orders, I just want to hide you indoors so that no one will look at you. I can’t help it.”
Exasperated, Janet poked his waist lightly. “Don’t touch me.”
Mason smiled and turned around to take the gift box that was on the table.
It was a wooden box where the edges were decorated with a traditional design and jade inlays on the cover. It looked exquisite and beautiful, but it seemed like it was a dated item and had a long history behind it.
