And then her phone rang. Rebecca took a look and saw a message from Emily. It was a photo of Emily practicing piano.
Ever since Emily went to Yobril, she would send Rebecca photos that showed off her life there every day. Rebecca despised Emily’s guts, but they had to pretend to be friendly. The more she looked at Emily’s photo, the angrier she became. A moment later, she opened Twitter, snapshotted a photo, then sent a message to Emily.
At the same time, in a piano room in Yobril, Emily stared at the message Rebecca sent her. She clenched her phone tightly, jealousy glaring within her eyes. Rebecca’s message read: ‘Mason Lowry, the heir to the Lowry Family, will hold his twenty-sixth birthday banquet on November 29 in the Lowry Residence.’ Rebecca said she would be giving a piano performance onstage by then.
“What? No!” Emily clenched the phone tighter, exasperation welling up within her.
She would still be in Yobril on November 29. Since she couldn’t go back, Rebecca would be the only star of the show. If she’s the one performing, Mason might just fall for her! No! That slut isn’t deserving of a man like Mason! The more she thought about it, the more infuriated Emily was. She clenched her fists tightly, the veins on them bulging. And then someone opened the door.
Emily turned around, but instead of looking infuriated, she put on her fake look once more. “You’re here, Hazel!”
Hazel nodded. “Mr. Hilbert is calling for us.” She smiled.
“I see.”
“What’s wrong?” Hazel noticed the hint of exasperation on Emily’s face, as if she was troubled.
Emily pursed her lips and locked her phone. “Nothing.” She shook her head. “I would have told you if something had happened.”
Emily had no friends in Yobril. The ones she looked up to didn’t deign to be friends with her, whereas those she disliked tried their best to be her sycophants. Hazel was someone who came in halfway at the behest of Hilbert. Since the Fullers were a powerful family, Hilbert took her under his wing for their sake. As there were only the two of them, Hazel and Emily became friends.
Emily envied Hazel for having all the branded goods she ever wanted. Fortunately, Hazel wasn’t a snobbish girl, or Emily would have gone insane.
“I see.” Hazel then looked up. “Emily, you have a great network in Sandfort, don’t you?”
Hazel heard the rumor about the divine doctor living in Sandfort City. She tried to search for the doctor, but to no avail. Her father’s condition had worsened, and he was bedridden. Hazel didn’t think the divine doctor could do anything about it, but that was the only avenue available for her. The divine doctor can be hard to approach, but if Emily knows her, maybe I can find out where the doctor is.
Emily froze for a moment, then she smiled. “I do. Why?”
“Really?” Hazel widened her eyes in surprise. “Do you know about Doctor Sandra, then?”
“Doctor Sandra? Oh, the divine doctor?”
“Yeah. Do you know her?” Hazel peered at her in excitement.
Emily paused for a moment, and she nodded. “I’ll get my dad to look for her if you want to see her.”
Hazel buzzed with glee after hearing that. “Thank you! I’ll never forget what you did for us if you can find out where the divine doctor is.”
