After he walked out from the school gates, White Python entered the car which had been idling outside for some time.
Black Python let out a breath of relief when he saw that White Python appeared to be unscathed.
Upon getting into the car, White Python tore the drawing into tiny pieces.
“What’s wrong?” Sean asked from the driver’s seat as his brows were pinched together at the sight of White Python’s display of frustration.
“Miss Jackson was rather pleased with the fifth dress, but Young Master Lowry wanted the fashion design department to redesign it.” White Python sighed as he spoke while being unable to comprehend Mason’s request.
Black Python, on the other hand, clapped his hand over his mouth to stifle his laughter.
He made the right decision not to accompany White Python earlier. After all, if he was in Mason’s shoes, he would not like it either if his woman chose to wear any of the dresses in those drawings.
Unfortunately, White Python had a simple mind and he was completely oblivious to that notion.
“By the way, why didn’t Miss Jackson say anything about the news?” White Python frowned, looking confused as he went on. “How did Young Master Mason suddenly get tangled up with J’Adore from the MX Group in Markovia?” From what he remembered, the Lowry Family Conglomerate only collaborated with MX Group for a couple of times, so he could not understand how Mason became involved with a woman in a mask.
If J’Adore and Miss Jackson were to show up at the banquet at the same time, it would surely be quite the dramatic affair to watch.
However, if he were to choose, he would still side with Miss Jackson out of instinct.
Meanwhile, Black Python blinked. “Did Miss Jackson really say nothing about it?”
White Python shook his head. “Nothing at all.”
“It would be odd if she did,” Sean chimed in with a smile as he drove.
Upon hearing that, both Black Python and White Python were bewildered. “What do you mean?”
Sean merely chuckled and answered them in a mystifying tone, “The both of you will find out soon enough.”
Black Python and White Python exchanged confused looks with each other after hearing his reply. What is he trying to tell us?
Meanwhile, in a luxurious apartment at Sandfort City, Hazel pondered on what Emily had told her. After having observed Janet for a day, she was all the more certain that Emily was correct—that girl was rude, self-centered and arrogant; she was nothing but a philistine who had no idea on how fashion worked!
Hazel held her phone and hesitated for a while before she finally texted Emily, which read, ‘How did you get along with Janet earlier on? She’s like an iceberg. It’s as if she doesn’t take notice of those around her.”
Hazel was becoming resentful with all the obstacles that she had encountered thus far. If only her brother could help her to look into the matter at hand, she would not have had to travel all the way there to catch the liar.
It did not take long for Emily to reply. ‘I’m used to it. It’s in her nature to behave in the way she does. She’s not as competent as she thinks, but it hasn’t stopped her from behaving like she’s the best.’
Indeed, had it not always been in Janet’s nature to act as if the world was her oyster? She was the one who stole all the spotlight during Grade 12 in high school, but now it seemed that she was not as good as Emily.
Now, the both of them could not be any more different from each other—they were worlds apart!
After reading Emily’s message, Hazel clicked her tongue in disdain while she shook her head.
It was far too exhausting to try and get along with a person like Janet. She did not know how Emily had managed such a feat for all those years!
‘All liars will eventually let the cat out of the bag. Don’t worry, I hear that Woodsbury University will be conducting a clinical trial assessment or something similar to that soon, which means that Janet is bound to show up. It’s not like she would skip on something like that,’ Emily typed in a subsequent text. She did this mainly to placate Hazel, so that the latter would not back down in resignation.
She still hoped that Hazel would prolong her stay in Sandfort City. If she did, there was no way that she could enter the piano competition, which meant Emily would have one less competitor.
Furthermore, with Hazel gone, Mr. Hilbert was placing all of his hopes on Emily instead.
Hazel, on the other hand, was clueless about the games that Emily was playing. She was convinced that Emily was genuinely offering solace. As such, she happily replied, ‘Got it.’
