“Hi, Emily.” Rebecca seemed delighted to see Emily too.
Although Rebecca came from a wealthy and powerful family, she was actually very envious of Emily because she had caught the attention of Hilbert from the Royal Academy of Music despite her young age. Besides, Emily might end up as the successor of the Royal Academy of Music, and so Rebecca admired Emily from the bottom of her heart.
Rebecca was here this time to learn piano, and she was very hopeful to catch Hilbert’s attention too.
Emily wore a gentle expression and she welcomed Rebecca with open arms. “Rebecca, we met when we were kids. Do you remember?” she asked while smiling warmly.
Rebecca tried to recall and nodded earnestly after a short while. “Yes, I do remember, indeed. I liked you the most, Emily.”
Emily felt pleased with herself when she heard that.
“Emily, Rebecca, get in the car,” Megan called out from inside the car, since the two seemed distracted by their chat.
Rebecca then handed Megan a gift box. “Auntie Megan, this present is for you.”
Next, she handed something to Emily too. “Emily, this is for you.”
Emily smiled sweetly while accepting her gift.
She didn’t even need to guess to know that her gift would cost at least tens of thousands, or it might even go up to hundreds of thousands.
“Thank you, Rebecca.” Emily smiled faintly while appearing elegant and gracious.
In the car, Emily was pleasantly surprised to get along so well with Rebecca. Be it their education or arts, they seemed to click very well.
“Rebecca, why didn’t you wait for the summer holidays before coming over?” Emily maintained a faint smile as she asked politely.
Rebecca beamed as well. “It’s because you are so outstanding that I just couldn’t wait any longer.”
Dad mentioned that Emily will be leaving for Yobril after her college entrance exam. If that’s true, we wouldn’t have a chance to meet then.
Upon hearing that, Emily smiled shyly and continued a discussion about piano with Rebecca.
…….
When Janet rushed back to the Jackson Residence from Markovia, she realized that there was a young girl she didn’t know at home.
Janet regarded the girl with her usual aloofness, but she had a questioning gaze.
Rebecca immediately felt threatened when she saw Janet because the girl in front of her had porcelain, fair skin. In fact, Janet’s facial features were delicate and pretty, and despite not having any makeup on, she looked much prettier than her peers who had heavy makeup on.
At that thought, a trace of jealousy flashed clearly in Rebecca’s eyes.
Janet wasn’t bothered; instead, she just walked past them and headed upstairs.
At that moment, it so happened that Megan walked out to serve some sliced fruit.
Rebecca blinked several times while asking curiously, “Auntie Megan, is that person who just left Janet?”
Upon hearing that, Megan looked in the direction Janet left and nodded. “That’s right, she’s Emily’s older sister.” Megan placed the fruit platter down. “I’ll ask her to join us.”
Once Megan left, Emily spoke hastily in a quiet voice, “Rebecca, I’m apologizing to you beforehand in case my older sister offends you later or if she makes you uncomfortable.”
The corners of Rebecca’s lips twitched involuntarily. “Is it difficult to get along with her?”
“Mm-hmm.” Emily nodded.
Upon hearing that, a look of disgust flashed across Rebecca’s face. She isn’t very capable, but I see that she thinks highly of herself. She must be jealous of Emily.
Upon noticing Rebecca’s change of expression, Emily’s lips curled into a smirk.
Soon, Megan brought Janet down the stairs.
Rebecca stared at Janet with her large eyes, seemingly curious.
Megan chuckled while introducing Janet to Rebecca, “This is your older sister.”
Rebecca glanced at Janet. “Janet, nice to meet you! I’m Rebecca.”
Janet cocked an eyebrow and greeted her calmly, “Nice to meet you. I’m Janet.”
Megan looked up the stairs and made a decision then. “Emily, Janet, you two will share a room from now on.”
Janet was stumped when she heard that. Does she want me to share a room with Emily? She might as well kill me.
Megan chuckled in slight embarrassment. “Well, I need to leave the other room for Chloe.”
Great, there are two in one go.
“No need for that. I’ll move out,” spat Janet while appearing expressionless. Then, she made her way back upstairs.
Megan looked very upset after hearing that.
