It wasn’t until the sun was about to set when Mason finally woke up from his sleep.
“I’ve packed my things,” commented Janet when she saw him waking up.
“Good,” the man answered lazily while getting out of the bed.
Initially, Janet thought that he would just leave, but he made a phone call instead. “Get a few people to pick up some luggage from Jackson Residence.”
Janet was rendered speechless when she heard that. After Mason left, Janet went out of her room and bumped into Grandma Jade who was coming out of her room as well. She regarded Janet and asked, “Have you packed your things?”
Janet nodded in response.
Grandma Jade checked the surroundings, and after confirming that they were alone, she took out a bank card from her pocket to hand it over to Janet. “There is 5 million in here. Get more from me in the future if it’s not enough.”
Grandma Jade had been worried that Janet might be mocked and bullied outside. She was also worried that Janet might not have enough money for food and good clothes. Therefore, she figured she’d try her best to satisfy Janet’s needs to compensate for the past seventeen years that she was not with them.
Janet smiled, but she returned the card to Grandma Jade. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I have money. I haven’t even spent the 5 million you gave me previously.”
Upon hearing that, Grandma Jade’s heart went out to her. “Janet, you must not be so frugal. Your dad has a lot of money. If you don’t spend it, it might all end up in Emily’s hands.”
Janet burst out laughing when she heard Grandma Jade’s concern. The Jackson family’s inheritance is nothing compared to what I have in my bank account. If Emily wants it, she’s free to take it all. I’ve never wanted to get the meagre sum that is the Jackson Family’s inheritance anyway.
“Grandma Jade, don’t worry about that.” Janet checked her pulse after saying that. “Remember to give me a call if you don’t feel well.”
“Yes, sure.” Grandma Jade chuckled good-naturedly. Janet might not be as good of a sweet talker as Emily, but Janet is kind. Furthermore, she’s never blinded by power and wealth. That is why I’m very fond of her.
…
Janet pulled her luggage along while carrying a backpack. She had very little personal belongings. However, the trophies and music scores in the cupboard, coupled with some paintings and books took up quite a lot of space. She had no choice but to let the Lowry’s subordinates move those items that she couldn’t bring along herself.
Outside of Jackson Residence, Mason smiled when he saw Janet. Initially, he assumed that she would be reluctant to leave, but Janet was surprisingly quick and decisive about moving out.
Mason helped Janet place her luggage in the boot, whereas Janet climbed into the front passenger seat. She placed her bag in front of her while asking him, “Did you have to wait very long?”
The man answered her indifferently, “No.” Waiting for her is never long. I will always be willing to wait no matter how long it takes.
…
In less than thirty minutes, a black Maybach was parked in the courtyard of Lowry Residence. Ever since Mason instructed the servants in Lowry Residence to tidy up the room, everybody became acutely aware that Miss Jackson, whom they had not seen for a long time, would be staying here for a long time. No, we should address her as the ‘Lady-to-be’.
The two of them got out of the black Maybach. Upon seeing Janet, the servants of the residence praised her straight away, “Miss Jackson, it has been such a long time. You are even prettier now.”
Janet smiled in embarrassment while dragging her luggage into the living room. Mason shot an intimidating gaze at the servants suddenly. Upon noticing that, everybody started asking earnestly, “Miss Jackson, what else do you need? Let us make some preparations for you!”
“Miss Jackson, allow me to prepare some fruits for you.”
“We have some coffee imported from Markovia. Miss Jackson, would you like to have a taste?”
“Miss Jackson, leave the luggage there. I’ll take it upstairs for you.”
Janet was rendered speechless by their eagerness.
Meanwhile, Rebecca and Emily walked hand-in-hand to Chloe’s house while chatting away happily.
“Hi, Aunt Shirley,” greeted Emily politely when she saw Shirley.
Shirley immediately put on a pretentious and exaggerated smile the moment she saw Emily. “Emily, you’re finally here.”
“Nice to meet you, Aunt Shirley,” greeted Rebecca too.
“Rebecca?” It was only then did Shirley recognize Rebecca.
