Rebecca stood by the side, holding a card in her hand as she hesitatingly said, “Emily, there was a card inside the box. It wrote: ‘I hope you pass your university entrance exams with flying colors, Janet!’”
As soon as Emily heard those words, her legs gave out from under her. She collapsed to the ground, her fingers digging into her palms so hard that it hurt. “What did you say?!” This bag is a present for Janet?! Shaking her head, she refused to believe it. “Where’s the card?!”
Thus, Rebecca handed the card over with trembling hands. The large words that were written on it nearly made Emily pass out. This can’t be! How could Walter be attracted to somebody like Janet?! How on earth could this happen?
“Can I take it with me now?” Janet said nonchalantly; her face was expressionless when she said that.
That one sentence was like she was trying to provoke Emily, who was feeling extremely upset and reluctant to accept reality. I was just dreaming about my future with Walter! How could he be attracted to somebody like Janet?! How could a man I was attracted to have such poor taste?! Hence, she bit down hard on her lip and very unwillingly said with a gloomy expression, “Take it! Take it and scram!”
It wasn’t the first time she had been humiliated by that vixen, Janet. It had happened many times before, and every time Janet had a condescending look on her face, acting as if it had nothing to do with her. She makes me sick! How could there be such a shameless person in this world?!
“Hmph!” Janet glanced at Emily’s face that had turned purplish from anger and snorted lightly. Isn’t she rather narcissistic? Did she really think Walter would fall for her after meeting her once at the police station? She couldn’t be bothered to argue with them. Thus, she walked into the living room and packed the bag back into the box, preparing to return it to Walter.
Looking at Janet’s guiltless and proud back, Rebecca chuckled lightly. “Hmph! Being so happy over a bag?! Don’t you see all the packages that came from overseas on the ground? Who do you think they’re for? If Emily wants a bag, I’ll give her one!” Janet is too much! Acting so high-handed just because of a bag! How shameless! I’ve never seen anybody like that! She certainly acts like somebody who comes from a poor rural village! She looked down on Janet from the bottom of her heart.
Upon hearing that, Janet lifted her head. Her cool gaze glanced at Rebecca, then swept over the pile of packages on the ground. After that, she laughed softly. “Did your family send all of that to you?”
“Of course? My parents are at Markovia. These branded items were all sent by them!” Rebecca thought that Janet was finally learning her place. Thus, she bragged, “Moreover, there is a priceless ice jade necklace too! You’ve never seen one before, have you?!”
In response, Chloe smiled. “Rebecca, why are you telling her? Look at that woman that reeks of poverty! How could she possibly have seen it before? Why don’t you show it to her?”
Emily was so furious that she looked green. Glaring at Janet viciously as if she wanted to tear her apart, she coldly said, “What’s so great about a bag?! You can only be considered capable if you can receive an ice jade necklace as a gift!” What is a bag worth a million anyway? The ice jade necklace alone can cost billions! Only if she can receive such a priceless gift can she be considered amazing!
Curling her lips carelessly, she lazily asked, “Oh? I look forward to seeing it!” According to Lara, the ice jade necklace she received this time was gorgeous. Thus, she had high expectations for it.
The smile on Rebecca’s face disappeared, and her expression returned to normal. Taking out a red jewelry box, she opened it carefully. “How is it? Have you seen something like this before?”
Janet saw the ice jade necklace lying inside the jewelry box. Its color was translucent, and it looked very rare—even the gemstone market of Sandfort City might never have seen such a beautiful piece of jade before. A few seconds later, she made a phone call. After saying a few things, she hung up. “It certainly looks good. Thanks for holding onto it for me!” Her body leaned back slightly as she raised her brows lazily. “The moving company I just called will be here soon.”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean ‘holding onto it for you’?” Chloe, Emily, and Rebecca practically exclaimed in unison.
