Hazel wasn’t aware of Emily’s actual intentions. She truly thought that Emily just didn’t want Sweet Tune to make a pointless trip here.
“But…” Emily nervously pinched the hem of her skirt. “But, it would be so troublesome for her. Don’t forget; Sweet Tune has to get here by plane. And your brother has already spent a hundred million. It’s not worth it!”
At this moment, Emily finally managed to get through to Hazel, who was swayed. “Now that you mention it, it makes sense. I’ll ask my brother to contact her then.”
Emily was very excited to hear this. “That’s great, Hazel! I’m so happy to have you as a friend.”
Hazel lowered her head and smiled shyly. “Emily, this is nothing. Helping you is the same as helping myself.”
Since she was young, she didn’t have any particularly good friends. People only befriended her because they knew that she was the daughter of a council member, and they wanted to obtain something from her.
There were even certain people who were afraid to be friends with her because of her status. It wasn’t easy for her to finally meet someone who could get along with her and who didn’t shy away from her identity. Needless to say, she had to make sure she treated this friend well.
Although Emily had lied that she would help Hazel find the divine doctor, her father’s illness was now cured! So, she didn’t mind it anymore!
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Megan and Brian walked in.
Seeing this, Hazel gave a small smile. “Emily, I’ll go out first.”
“All right.”
With her head bowed, Hazel walked past the two people.
“Emily, where’s Janet? She’s not here with you?” Megan walked toward Emily in a panic.
Emily couldn’t conceal the smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth twitched. “No. Didn’t she withdraw?”
Brian sighed. “I just went to her room to look for her, but she wasn’t there!”
During the first half-hour, they were still dubious about what Emily told them.
However, now that Janet had withdrawn, it was hard for them not to suspect that Janet was indeed afraid of being exposed by Sweet Tune.
For a while, Megan and Brian found it unacceptable!
At this point, Janet could be said to have thoroughly humiliated the two of them. Even if Emily won the competition, her parents’ honor and shame couldn’t be redeemed.
Today, when word of this got out, the public would just start saying that they couldn’t even control their biological daughter, but somehow managed to cultivate their adopted daughter into a global champion.
What a joke they would be!
Catching sight of the disappointed and ashamed expressions of Megan and Brian, Emily said in a sympathetic tone, “In fact, I quite pity Janet. After all, she grew up in the countryside, so it’s normal for her to be a little vain. I hope the two of you don’t blame her! If she told me in advance that she was going to participate in the competition, I definitely wouldn’t have come. I would’ve given up this championship for her.”
As she spoke, her expression gradually grew more guilty.
Megan and Brian sighed at the same time but said nothing more.
After Emily left Hazel with her parents, she headed straight to Sheldon’s room.
Hazel opened the door and secretly laughed.
Looking up at her, Sheldon asked in his deep voice, “What happened? Why are you so happy?”
Emily didn’t bother covering it up and said outright, “Sheldon, please contact Sweet Tune and tell her not to come.”
Upon hearing this, Sheldon frowned and inquired confusedly, “What’s the matter?”
“Hehe.” Hazel let out a cold laugh, then said in a mocking tone, “The plagiarizing freak has withdrawn, so there’s no point for Sweet Tune to come anymore.”
Withdrawn?
Sheldon’s brows furrowed even more, and his tone became a little anxious. “Why?”
