It was at that moment that Megan wished she could put Janet back in her womb as if she was never born. As for Emily, she wanted to further humiliate Janet before she went upstairs so she walked over and grabbed Janet’s hands while talking to Megan.
“Mom, Janet is quite impressive too because she can mow the grass and feed the pigs, while I don’t know how to do any of that. You should ease up on her.” As she spoke, Emily looked at Janet tauntingly.
Megan scoffed in reply and said, “Come here, Emily. Any daughter of the Jacksons shouldn’t have to know how to mow grass or feed herds.”
Hearing that, Janet drew her hands away coldly but a mere two seconds later, Emily fell on the floor with a painful howl. Janet watched the drama unfold with a blank look on her face.
“Emily! Emily, are you okay?”
“Janet! How could you do this to Emily? I would never forgive you if Emily’s hands are damaged in any way!” Megan yelled as she rushed over. Emily’s hands were essential for drawing, playing the piano and violin, thus Megan had put all her hopes on her.
“Mom, Janet didn’t mean it so please don’t blame her for it!” Emily said miserably as she teared up. Clearly, she was putting on a show in front of Megan; she refused to believe that Megan would continue seeing Janet as her own daughter from now on. Only I can be the princess of this family! No one can ever take away my parents’ love!
“Tell me, Janet; why would you push your sister? Was it because you were so jealous of her drawing skills? That she managed to get into the final round of the competition?
Janet chuckled lightly. “So that’s the kind of person you think I am?”
For a while, Megan seemed lost for words. “I-I saw what you did with my own eyes,” she stuttered.
Smirking, Janet suddenly grabbed Emily by her clothes and hurled her roughly to the ground.
Emily was completely dumbfounded. What is she? A beast? How is she so strong?
“Look closely, Megan. This is what you would call a push,” Janet said coldly. With that, she went straight into her room without a backward glance.
Emily fell on the ground with a loud thud. Hearing the commotion outside, Janet’s smirk got bigger. “It’s so painful, Mom! Why is Janet treating me this way?” Megan felt bad as Emily whined.
Rubbing Emily’s rear, Megan reassured, “Get up quickly, my darling daughter! Wait till your father hears of this!” She felt that Janet had worn out her patience by crossing too many lines. All the talks about slowly accepting her into the family were rubbish because Janet was not even worth loving! It made her wonder about the things she did in her past life to deserve a daughter like this. To make things worse, her husband, Brian, didn’t seem to agree with her mainly because Janet carried the bloodline of the Jacksons and that was what made Janet behave so arrogantly.
The next day, Emily heard Abby chatting to Janet playfully as she walked into the classroom. She snorted and sat down at her seat. After the fight between Janet and Megan, the former never showed up anywhere in the house and she seemed fine now.
Emily was just waiting to gloat in front of Janet because she was actually secretly happy that her drawing had made it into the final round of the competition. She intentionally pushed her bag and a red envelope fell out. Nudging her desk mate, Madelaine, Emily said, “Something dropped from my bag. Could you please help me pick it up?”
Madelaine nodded in reply as she bent down to pick up the letter. She took a look at it and yelled, “Oh my! Is this the grand finale entry list for the Summer Drawing Competition of Sandfort City? Emily, you’re so amazing!”
“Well, well… I must have forgotten that I left it in my bag after I received it.” Emily put on an embarrassed look.
Suddenly, everyone’s attention shifted toward Emily.
“Wow, the grand finale!”
“That’s our Star High School Class A’s class representative for you! She can do anything.”
“Not only is Emily from a rich family, she is beautiful and is good in her studies. Don’t people like that only exist in novels?”
