Rolling her eyes, Janet turned around without saying anything.
Mason glared at Henry briefly then patted Janet on the shoulder and said coldly, “No one is allowed to lay a finger on my Jan.”
His pats were not strong and felt more like he was asserting his dominance.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression. What is he doing? Suddenly, she recalled Henry grazing his head on her shoulder earlier. Oh. Feeling flustered, she shifted closer toward Mason.
Once he felt her slight movement, his mood was instantly lifted.
Grabbing her small hand, he gave it a firm squeeze and said, “Since you know Sweet Tune, why don’t you introduce her to Henry so they can get to know each other? It’s not a big deal.”
She raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
Her arched brow looked profound.
“Hmm?” The look on her face puzzled him.
“Don’t regret it then.” She shot her brows up and scoffed at him on the inside.
He was amused now. Regret? What do I have to regret? He did not seem to comprehend her words. Is she trying to provoke me on purpose?
“Mr. Lowry, all Henry did was call my name. You don’t have to be this jealous. It’s not very manly.”
Ever since she got together with him, it felt as though she was always surrounded by jealousy.
“Be a good girl and call me Mason,” he cajoled.
Narrowing her eyes, she called, “Mason.” She intentionally dragged his name out and made it sound seductive.
“I’ll deal with you later.” He gritted his teeth. His voice was low and husky.
Deal with me? What did I do wrong? He’s not making any sense.
On the other side, Henry only felt envious as he watched Janet and Mason’s sweet interactions with each other. Ugh. Janet is just too mean!
As soon as Mason noticed Henry’s gaze, he shot him a cold glare that was filled with hostility.
Once Henry got the warning, he quickly looked away and rubbed his eyes miserably.
From the VIP section, Emily had witnessed the whole scene.
J’Adore looks ordinary. Why are there three men hovering around her? They’re truly blind.
She even felt like this so-called J’Adore was not as pretty as Janet.
Chuckling, she thought, It’s indeed such a waste of Young Master Mason’s handsome face.
When Brian saw that almost everyone was present, he quickly walked to Emily and said, “Emily, hurry up the stage to make your speech now. Everyone is waiting.”
She froze for a few seconds before getting back to her senses. Nodding, she took a deep breath and reassured, “I got it, Dad.”
Standing below the stage, she tried her best to get in the right frame of mind. No matter what, she could not get distracted by anyone.
Janet might be at home waiting to laugh at me!
I have to surprise Janet along with everyone else.
Drawing a deep breath, she grasped the hem of her skirt and stepped on stage elegantly like a cat.
A clear round of applause sounded below the stage.
She kept a faint smile on her face and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my celebration banquet.”
A sweet voice sounded followed by another clear round of applause.
When the banquet started, everyone gathered together in a circle.
The moment they went up to her, someone exclaimed, “Tsk. Tsk. Emily claimed her gown was embroided with real diamonds earlier and it turned out to be true.”
