Upon hearing that, Emily chuckled and said gently, “I can fulfill all your wishes.”
“Really?” Everyone looked at her excitedly.
With a serious expression, she said, “Of course. After we are done with our finals, I can throw another party. Then, you guys can come over and hear me play.”
Everyone immediately held her hands to flatter her. Enjoying being the center of attention, Emily smiled slightly. After the finals, I can meet Hilbert. These requests can be easily fulfilled because I can have however many autographs I want.
“Oh, but I have to teach my cousin how to play the piano nowadays, so I won’t have much time to hang out with everyone,” Emily added as an afterthought.
“Wow, Emily. You actually became a mentor!”
“How great is that! If only you could teach me as well…”
“Emily, I’m so envious of you. You are both pretty and capable.”
Emily merely smiled and pretended to be humble. “It’s nothing. If you guys want to learn, you can also come over to my place.”
Everyone nodded and looked at her enviously. Quite unexpectedly, Emily is pretty friendly after all. We must suck up to her!

In Class F, Janet’s head was throbbing and she didn’t look well. Seeing her pale face, Abby asked worriedly, “Janet, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” She merely shook her head. She tried to recall what had happened in the suite, but she could only remember watching the meteor shower with Mason and drinking a cocktail. After that, she couldn’t remember anything else. This morning, when she woke up at his house, he was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing her frown, Abby took out a box of candies. “Janet, here’s your birthday present.”
She turned around and looked at it—it was from Figaro, a brand that wasn’t cheap. She beamed. “Thanks!” Unexpectedly, Abby remembers my birthday.
“Let’s have it together.” Janet nudged the present on the table.
Upon hearing that, Abby’s eyes lit up. “Really?” She had saved up for a week to afford this, which cost 3000, and she had even asked someone to buy this from overseas.
“Yeah.” Janet smiled.
Just as Janet was about to put the candy into her mouth, Abby suddenly squealed, “Janet, where did you get this bangle?” She was shocked by the blood-red bangle as the color looked so eerie, it sent chills down her spine.
Janet arched her eyebrows as she looked at Abby’s expression. “Are you scared of it?”
“No, I was just startled. I feel much better now.”
When she was at Mason’s place just now, she tried to take it off, but she realized that she couldn’t no matter what. After a few failed attempts, she decided not to care about it anymore.
“Hi, Janet.” Right after the Beasts entered the classroom with their school bags, they called her name sweetly.
Janet arched her eyebrows as soon as she saw them. Usually, they wouldn’t have brought any school bags. What’s up today? Why do they have their school bags with them? It even looks full. Then, they placed their school bags on the table and unzipped it, revealing numerous knives and hidden weapons. After glancing at the content, Janet admitted that the four of them had an eye for picking good quality weapons.
“They are all for you.” They smiled widely at her, leaving her speechless.
After Dexter saw that she had a weird expression on her face, he frowned. “Boss, are you not satisfied with the presents we got you? We bought it with the money we earned back when we were spies in Hunter Group.”
Janet frowned a little as she shook her head exasperatedly. “It’s fine…” If they sent this to my house, I would have been over the moon. But to give me these in school? How am I supposed to be happy?
…
When school ended, Janet suddenly received a call from Lee, who sounded excited and serious at the same time. “Janet, the alchemy furnace just appeared at an auction in Markovia, and the organizers are advertising it all over the country. Do you want it?”
