Sitting on the sofa, Mason, who was smoking, was unmoved. Instead, he exhaled a thick smoke, and said slowly, “Why are you so surprised, then?”
“That person is in the same school as Miss Jackson!” Red Python continued.
Mason took a pause from smoking, and his voice was icy as he said. “Then you should bring it up in front of her!”
There was nothing to boast about. A perfect score in the college entrance exams was nothing compared to his girlfriend. She was good at car racing and painting, not to mention she was a genius doctor.
The top student in the city was not worth mentioning at all.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Mason. I’ll never bring this up in front of Miss Jackson!” Black Python and Red Python respectfully nodded their heads.
“By the way, Young Master Mason! Something’s not right in Sandfort City these days. Seems like the people from Markovia are ambushing this place!” Red Python whispered in Mason’s ear.
“Find out who it is!” he ordered.
“Yes, Young Master Mason!”
“Oh, right. Janet is going to Markovia tomorrow. You and White Python will follow and protect her in secret!” As Mason squinted, he let out the smoke from his cigarette. His expression behind the white smoke was inapprehensible.
Although Janet did say that she was going to meet up with a friend, he was still very worried.
Black Python was stunned for a few seconds. “Janet?”
Raising his eyes, Mason glanced toward the both of them.
And within a few seconds, the pair finally understood the situation.
Nodding continuously, they got down to work immediately.
……..
At the Jackson residence, Emily, Rebecca, and Chloe just came back from the reunion party.
As soon as they came in through the door, they saw Magnus sipping a cup of tea while he was resting on the sofa.
Rebecca darted forward and hugged him, acting like a baby. “Dad, why are you here in Sandfort City again?”
“Hello, Uncle Magnus!” Emily and Chloe greeted Magnus.
“It’s been a while, Emily, Chloe!” he smiled.
“Of course, your dad is here for big business!” Megan smiled gently as she looked at Rebecca.
“That’s right. We’ve sealed the deal with the Lowry Family! So, I’ll be visiting Sandfort City very often!” When Magnus started talking about his job, his expression became very serious.
“But this time, I’m here to bring Rebecca home!” He patted Rebecca’s head with affection.
Upon hearing that, Megan was surprised. “Magnus, Rebecca has been learning piano from Emily for so long now. How can you just take her away like this? Aren’t you going to let Mr. Hilbert look at her skills?”
Everyone knew that Hilbert was in town, but he didn’t seem to have the intention to meet with Emily any time soon. However, he might’ve acknowledged Emily in his heart already.
“That’s right. Why don’t you stay for a little longer so we can have fun?” Emily put on a pretentious look of regret on her face.
Magnus and Rebecca glanced at each other and an awkwardness flashed across their faces.
They didn’t tell the Jacksons about Rebecca’s meeting with Hilbert.
Since they knew there was no hope for her, they decided not to stay anymore.
“Rebecca didn’t come here to learn the piano from Emily to become the heir of the Yobril Royal Academy of Music! It’s just her hobby, so she wanted to learn it!” Magnus’ explanation was confusing.
“Yeah! I don’t want to fight for that position against Emily!”
Emily laughed softly as she heard that. “Then that’s even more reason that you shouldn’t be leaving! A few days later, you’ll get to see Hilbert come and bring me to Yobril.”
Although she was nodding, Rebecca was not interested.
Only Emily would consider becoming the heir something precious. It meant nothing to Rebecca.
Her only goal now was to find herself the wealthiest man in Asia.
A musician was nothing to her.
Rebecca didn’t know whether she was jealous or angry when she thought about that.
Amid their conversation, Emily’s phone suddenly rang. She took a look and found that it was Hilbert’s assistant.
Grabbing her phone with joy, she walked over to the corner before answering the call.
On the other side, Hilbert’s assistant’s voice was calm and deep. “Is this Miss Emily Jackson?”
Nodding her head happily, Emily answered, “Yes, speaking!”
“Mr. Hilbert will be hosting a party this Saturday. He will be introducing you formally to everyone. You’ll have to dress up properly. I’ll email you the details and the address very soon.”
