The Spoiled Girl

Emily was still waiting for Jacob to ask her for an explanation; unexpectedly, he had disappeared for a few days and did not come to find her, which came as a relief to her.

Meanwhile, she was getting along with Jack quite well, but she gradually realized that she would never have the same feelings she used to have for him again.

Emily wasn't the same person she once was, and neither was Jack. Did she do the right thing by getting back together with him?

Emily couldn't stop doubting herself.

However, since she had made her choice, she was willing to try and maintain their relationship.

At lunch break, Emily and Jack had lunch together as usual. She was walking behind Jack, slowly, when she noticed one long strand of hair on his shoulder.

Emily calmly picked up the strand of hair and asked,"Jack, what's this?"

Jack turned around and squinted his eyes, as if to observe that hair carefully. He smiled heartily and replied,"It's just a strand of hair. You must have left it on me."

Emily nodded, holding that hair between her fingers lightly,"Maybe..."

"What do you mean by 'maybe'?" Jack was dissatisfied with her answer, but he brushed her hair gently with his hand and whispered,"I only have one woman, and that's you. I hope you wouldn't misunderstand me."

"I was just asking." Emily didn't say anything more.

During lunchtime, Jack left for the washroom, and left his phone on the table.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated as a new message had popped up on the screen.

Emily did not have a habit of checking her boyfriend's phone, but this time, she couldn't resist the temptation and picked up Jack's phone to check.

The new message had come from an unknown number. It was quite short, only with one sentence: I miss you.

Emily swallowed, nervously, not knowing what to think. When she was about to put the phone back, a person's hand patted her on the shoulder.

"Peeking at my messages, huh?"

Jack was just joking, but when he saw the look on Emily's face, he immediately looked at the phone, only to see that message on the screen.

He became nervous, and overwhelmed with fear. "A message?"

Emily put down the phone and looked up right into his eyes. It seemed like she was waiting for an explanation.

Jack attempted to explain, as if

the past few years abroad so she hadn't heard any negative news regarding Rose, and just assumed that she was a woman who was fond of clinging to prestigious clans. "There isn't a Xu clan in Jingshi City, is there? I have never heard of it."

Rose froze after she heard Tina's words. To defuse the embarrassment, Jasmyn stepped up and said,"She was not from our group. I am the one who brought her in."

That part was true. Jasmyn loved jewelry, and they met when she was shopping for jewelries.When Rose recognized who Jasmyn was, she introduced Jasmyn to jewelries that would cater to her pleasure. She also whitewashed her story by describing herself as a designer who was set up and treated unjustly, which won Jasmyn's sympathy immediately.

The Tao clan had a significant status. The Gu clan and the Tao clan were the two prestigious clans of Jingshi City. Therefore, the guests present at the feast were either members of powerful families, honourable clans, or social celebrities.

Rose naturally wanted to attend the feast. After all, Jack was no longer reliable, so she needed to find another rich man for herself.

If she could somehow catch someone like Jacob...

Obviously, Jack did not care what she wanted or bring her to the feast, instead, he planned to bring Emily and let her get acquainted with the people from the upper class in advance...

How else was Rose going to get an invite to the party?

Rose ingratiated herself with Jasmyn over the past few days to get her ticket to the feast finally.
