CHAPTER 285

It seemed like everyone was trying to ride on her coattails. The moment Emily cockily raised her eyes,

she suddenly spotted Janet walking back into the hall.Janet, who saw that Hilbert had left, returned to

the hall to get some dessert. She was starving from just watching all these people tirelessly putting on : owner of this content.

an act for hours. At that moment, she was actually craving Mason’s braised eggplant…When Emily

saw Janet eating like a hungry ghost, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. Holding the ice jade

bracelets given by Uncle Eddie in her hands, she proudly walked up to Janet and asked in a low voice,

“Janet, didn’t you receive any gifts from anyone?” She was very smug about receiving the ice jade

bracelets while nobody gave Janet any presents.Without even casting Emily a glance, Janet continued

to eat the desserts that she had taken with her head bowed. Seeing that she was being ignored,

Emily’s face fell as she deliberately handed one of the presents in her hands to Janet. “Janet, since you

didn’t receive any gifts, I’ll give you one.”“Pffft!” Janet failed to stifle her laughter upon hearing her

words. She then pointed at the ice jade bracelets in Emily’s hand and uttered, “You mean this? It’s

nothing special.”“What do you mean?” Emily’s expression was surly. She thinks that an ice jade

bracelet is nothing special? I bet she’s just jealous for not receiving one as a gift.“Are you treating fake

bracelets as treasure?” The corner of Janet’s lips curled upward, while her words were full of

mockery.Right after she said that, Emily’s face instantly paled, and the guests were attracted by what

she said as well.“What does she mean by that’s a counterfeit bracelet? Does Janet actually know what

she’s talking about?”“Maybe she deliberately said so because she didn’t receive any gift. After all, it

was her uncle who gave Emily the ice jade.”“Yeah, she’s just jealous for not getting one.”Even Megan

and Grandma Jade were attracted by the crowds’ discussion. Megan held Janet’s hand and frowned.

“What did you say just now? It’s impossible that your Uncle Eddie would give a replica.” Eddie, who

was at the side, clenched his fists in fury out of embarrassment. “What do you mean? How could the

bracelet that I gave to Emily be fake?” He did, in fact, feel guilty, but he forced himself to appear calm

for fear that anyone would spot his unusual behavior. After all, he still needed to rely on Brian and his

family, especially Emily who would become successful in the future.On the other hand, Emily didn’t

know all that; she just thought that Janet’s accusation was due to her jealousy. She is so evil. “Janet, I

don’t know what you have in mind, but if you really want a present, I can give it to you. You don’t need

to say such words.”“That’s right, Emily. Don’t mind her words. It’s impossible that I would buy you

something fake,” Eddie added.Hearing their words, the people around them pointed at Janet and

criticized her. Janet glanced at her watch before turning to look at Emily. “It’s a waste of my time to talk

to you.” With that, she turned around and left, leaving behind a cold back view that gave Emily a sense

that she was asking her to get lost.“Janet, stop right there. I’m not letting you leave if you don’t explain

yourself today.” Emily’s chest heaved out of anger, ignoring the advice of the crowd. She was

practically on the verge of getting physical with Janet.Janet turned around and strode back to her. She

then reached out her hand and smashed the ice jade in Emily’s hand on the floor. The bracelet instantly

broke into two pieces.Everyone was shocked. Has Janet gone out of her mind to have smashed

Emily’s gift on the floor in front of everyone?“Janet, are you insane?! You actually threw the ice jade

bracelet given by Uncle Eddie on the floor!” Heartbroken, she bent over and picked up the ice jade

bracelet that was broken into two pieces before pointing at Janet. “You are just envious and jealous of

me!” Megan was startled, having no idea why Janet suddenly blew up and smashed the bracelet. She

quickly stepped forward to explain, “Janet, Uncle Eddie is in the jade and jewellery business, so it’s

impossible for him to give Emily a counterfeit product.”
