“Okay, okay; I’m leaving.” Henry took his time shuffling toward the door.
On the other hand, the man sitting at the head of the table had a dark expression on his face—his body was so stiff with arousal that it was extremely uncomfortable…
……….
In less than 10 minutes, Janet arrived at the Jackson residence. Then, she parked her ostentatious car at a parking space located some distance away from the Jackson residence.
When she left the last time, she had handed her keys over to Grandma Jade. Unfortunately, Grandma Jade recently went abroad for a vacation. Thus, she had no other choice but to ring the doorbell. She rang the doorbell several times, but nobody opened the door.
Meanwhile, Emily, Chloe, and Rebecca were inside the house, glancing at each other in surprise. Who was ringing the doorbell? Could it be another delivery?
When Janet saw that nobody was coming out of the house to open the door, she pursed her lips and called out, “It’s me. I came back to retrieve something.”
“Retrieve something? What else do you have here?” Emily coldly said with a calm gaze as she opened the door. Didn’t she bring everything she owned with her when she came back the last time? What else did she leave behind at the Jackson residence?
Janet pursed her lips upon seeing that the person who opened the door was Emily. Then, she walked inside with a cold gaze and saw a pile of international deliveries as well as a bunch of opened presents. “Who opened them?” Her eyes were emotionless as she swept her cold gaze across the people inside.
Rebecca looked confused. Thus, she scowled. “I opened them. What’s wrong?” Janet’s questioning attitude left her feeling very upset. What’s wrong with me opening the presents my parents sent to me? What right does Janet have to question me? What a joke!
“Janet, if you have nothing to do then leave! Don’t bother us! Are you feeling envious and jealous because Rebecca’s parents sent her so many luxurious items? Is that why you came over to get a share of it?” Emily crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at Janet in contempt.
Now that Megan and Grandma Jade were not at home, there was nobody to protect Janet anymore.
“That’s right! Rebecca, you mustn’t give her any of it!” Chloe echoed, looking at the sportswear Janet was wearing in disgust. Why doesn’t she look at herself in the mirror?! Sheesh; all sorts of cats and dogs are coming to beg for Rebecca’s favor.
“Oh? That emerald green crocodile leather bag is pretty nice!” Janet chuckled lightly. Astutely sweeping her gaze across the sofa, she observed everything carefully.
“Hoho!” Emily snorted coldly. “Do you know who sent this?” If I tell Janet, won’t she be utterly shocked? Although Walter and Janet are acquaintances, Janet has never received a gift from him. Looks like Janet isn’t all that charming after all. Walter isn’t even willing to spend a single dime on her. How unlike myself; Walter couldn’t forget me after a single meeting and even gifted me with a million-dollar bag!
Hearing that question, Janet smiled and replied leisurely, “Is it from Walter?”
“You—How did you know?” At first, Emily had wanted to show off. However, it seemed that Janet already knew! Don’t tell me; did Walter send her a similar bag? As the thought crossed her mind, her expression became ugly. “Did you receive a bag from him too?”
In response, Janet’s eyes sparkled. “I came here to retrieve that bag!” As she spoke, she yawned lazily. Even her expression seemed lazy.
Inside the house, Rebecca and Chloe exchanged glances, looking extremely awkward.
On the other hand, Emily paused for a moment before snapping nastily, “What nonsense are you spewing?! Get out! I don’t want to see you!” This bag was clearly given to me by Walter! How can Janet come over to stir things up?!
“Emily, calm down!” Chloe couldn’t bring herself to watch Emily embarrass herself further. Thus, she tugged at Emily’s arm. “This bag really seems to be a present from Walter to Janet!”
Upon hearing what Chloe said, Emily was momentarily taken aback. Afterward, her eyes widened suddenly. “A gift for Janet? What nonsensical things are you saying?!” She felt that this joke wasn’t funny at all. Chloe must be envious and jealous of me. That’s why she’s speaking up in favor of Janet!
