If I knew that the woman was J’Adore, I definitely wouldn’t have approached her and offended her! It’s just my luck! Am I the only one to be blamed, though? She looks so ordinary. No wonder Mason would cheat on her!
“Dad, please stop scolding me. I didn’t mean it. If people see you chewing me out, it would cause unwanted consequences,” Emily pleaded, looking wronged.
Today was her big day, so if other people found out that she was having an argument, it would be downright embarrassing!
Brian sighed in exasperation and crossed his hands behind his back. He was so furious that he couldn’t speak.
He chided himself that he should’ve let Megan supervise Emily because she had quite nearly caused a disaster!
“Forget it; forget it.” Brian didn’t know what else to say, so he simply left with his hands behind his back.
As she watched Brian’s back fade into the distance, Emily reached up to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
It’s all J’Adore’s fault! If she hadn’t appeared, I wouldn’t have gotten a scolding from Dad! Those whose names start with ‘J’ are all b*tches! Janet is one, and J’Adore is another. B*tches! They almost caused my destruction!
It seemed that she really had enmity with people whose names started with ‘J’!
She should’ve asked Janet to come today. If she attended the party and met J’Adore, they definitely would’ve torn each other apart. That way, the incident earlier wouldn’t have happened.
Bah, I’m just unlucky!
At the VIP area, Mason squeezed Janet’s hand and asked, “What did she say to you just now?”
Janet blinked several times, then said, “Are you talking about Emily?”
He nodded and murmured a ‘yes’.
“She said that I’m here to scrounge a free meal and that I’m trying to pick up men,” Janet casually answered.
Mason frowned, feeling puzzled: “Pick up men? What do you mean?”
Henry leaned over and chuckled. “Young Master Mason, to pick up men means to flirt with them.”
As soon as he said this, Mason’s handsome face darkened.
If it wasn’t for Brian’s sake, he would have thrown Emily out without a doubt.
Henry glanced at the man’s gloomy face and silently laughed.
Looking at the stranger’s face, Henry opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn’t bring himself to call her ‘Mrs. Lowry’.
It felt weird to refer to this unfamiliar face as ‘Mrs. Lowry’. It was as if Mason was cheating on Janet.
Henry rubbed his nose and called out, “Janet.”
At this, the man next to him narrowed his eyes.
Janet? Doesn’t Henry usually call her ‘Mrs. Lowry’ or ‘Miss Janet’? Why is he calling her so intimately now? Could it be that Henry is attracted to Jan in this mask? I won’t allow it!
“Henry, address her like how you typically would. Don’t start having other ideas.” The man’s low voice indicated that he was slightly displeased.
“Oh… What?” Henry retracted his gaze, then muttered, “Young Master Mason, I just called her by her name; why are you getting so excited?”
Hearing this, Mason remained unmoving.
The Lowry Family had never dared to call her by her name, but Henry sure had the guts. After not seeing her for so long, he was addressing her without even a ‘Miss’.
Mason shot Henry a warning look, and his grip on Janet’s thin waist unconsciously tightened.
Janet was dumbfounded, and she felt as if her waist was about to be snapped into half.
What is his problem? Didn’t Henry just call me by my name? What’s he so angry for? Really! So childish! Who knew that Mason was so childish?
Seeing that something was off, Henry endured his discomfort and said, “Mrs. Lowry, your sister hasn’t even won the competition yet, but your family is so anxious to set up a banquet already. What’s their problem?”
