Damn it. If she knew things would turn out this way, she would have asked for that necklace which was worth several hundred million back.

Just as she slammed on the table regretfully, she suddenly heard someone knocking on her door. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She readied herself to offer Jade an apology, thinking that she must have woken her up because of the noise.

To her surprise, Jade just held her hands and walked into the room.

Eyeing her puzzledly, Janet asked, “What’s going on?”

Jade stuffed a card into Janet’s hands and muttered, “Take this. I couldn’t give it to you just now because Emily was there.”

Janet raised her brows at her in confusion. “You’re giving me money?”

“Hush. There is one million inside the card as your allowance. If that isn’t enough, you can always look for me to get more!”

“Huh?” Janet shook her head at the elderly lady and said, “I don’t really need the money.”

The figure in her bank account was increasing at a stable rate every day and she could actually live comfortably solely depending on the interests generated.

Jade first examined her thoroughly from her head to her toes before she shook her head and insisted, “You can’t go on dressing in this way. Now, you should doll yourself up to look better than Emily so that people will know that you’re the darling of our family, not her.”

Janet looked stunned for a few seconds before she let out a chuckle.

Darling? That was the first time she was seen as a darling by someone.

She shoved the card back into Jade’s hand and explained airily, “I’m used to dressing in this way, so I think you should just keep the money.”

Looking all smiles, Jade did not try to force Janet to take it because she was worried that Janet would start to think of her as a nuisance.

“By the way, are you really not going to join the painting competition? Your Aunt Shirley sounded very adamant in the WhatsApp Group that you wouldn’t dare to take part in the competition because you aren’t good enough.” Jade told Janet everything she saw in the group chat.

Janet raised her brows quizzically at Jade and asked, “I’m surprised you’re actually an active user of WhatsApp.”

“You bet I am. Take a look at what these people are saying in the group.”

Janet clicked the WhatsApp group open and found that all messages from Aunt Shirley were related to her.

Was she this desperate to see her daughter be embarrassed?

If that was the case, she didn’t mind fulfilling her wish.

Later that night, Janet agreed to take part in the painting competition organized by Old Mr. Collins. The participants of the competition included Chloe—Aunt Shirley’s daughter, Janet and Emily, and whoever emerged as the winner would become Old Mr. Collins’ apprentice.

At last, the contest was fixed to be held on the coming weekend.

Many from Janet’s organization were revved up for the competition and all of them were keen to show their support for Janet in their chat group.

Lara: ‘How about all of us go to Sandfort City to root for Janet this weekend?’

Desire: ‘Janet, I’m afraid I can’t make it because I just accepted a mission to sneak into the city council of Barnsford to gather dirt on some corrupted government officers and the work is still ongoing…’

The Beasts: ‘Boss, I want to apply for leave so that I can make a trip to Sandfort City to show my support for you.’

Janet: ‘No leave for all of you because you guys should focus on training in Markovia.’

The Beasts: ‘…’

Lee: ‘Seems like I can’t afford to miss out on watching the contest then? Let’s hope Janet can show what she’s got on that day.’

Janet: ‘…’

It was Friday in the blink of an eye and Star High School was having the much-anticipated sports day.

The field of the school was filled with students wearing jerseys.

Before the event even started, Abby was so frustrated with the swelteringly hot weather that she grumbled, “Our school must be the only school that will hold sports day on a day with such hot weather!”

As soon as Gordon heard her complaint, he immediately handed Janet and Abby a bottle of beverage each.

Janet took the bottle from him and put it on the ground under the shade of a tree before she noticed several guys approaching her from afar.

When they handed a few bottles of cola to her, she raised her brows puzzledly at them.

One of the boys scratched his head awkwardly. His face, which was flushed to begin with because of the heat, turned even redder when he said, “Janet, this is for you and I hope you will do well in the competition!

Janet looked at the boys with an impassive face and nodded at them. “Thank you,” she said indifferently.

Yet, she didn’t take the drinks from the boys but instead, she turned her gaze back to the middle of the field.

The boys then walked away looking embarrassed before they spotted Emily from the corners of their eyes.

Emily and Madelaine were glaring at Janet while cursing under their breaths, “Tsk, tsk. Only a pile of dung is capable of attracting so many flies.”
