Chapter 287

Eddie tugged at his clothes with his hands nervously as he frowned and stammered, "I-I planned to give this to Janet, but unexpectedly... "He wanted to give the fake bracelet to Janet. To him, she came from the countryside after all, so she would not know about the authenticity of it.I can pass it off with a few lies. Of course, he could not really bear to spend money on Janet, who was from the countryside.However, he had never expected that Hilbert would appear at the party today to support Emily, and he wanted so much to please her that he made a mistake and gave the fake bracelet to her instead of Janet."Oh, don't. I can't take that." Janet shook her hands as she spoke in an amused tone. Her disgusted tone angered Emily. The fake bracelet that is originally for Janet is now given to me?Is that all I'm worth?Can Janet's position now be compared to me?Does she even have the right to be compared to me?The more Emily thought about it, the more she thought that Eddie was here to insult her. Hence, she said sarcastically, "Uncle Eddie, don't give me the things that she doesn't want."Upon hearing that, Eddie scratched his head in embarrassment as he laughed to ease the tension. "Emily, don't take this to heart. After the party ends, come to my store and pick anything you want." While speaking, he even rolled his eyes at Janet uncontrollably.F*ck, it's because of her that my plans are ruined. Otherwise, I won't even have to give Emily the real jade. How frustrating.Emily's face remained stony as she kept her silence."Emily, just listen to your uncle." Megan walked forward to advise her. After a while, Emily finally nodded in satisfaction.Seeing that the matter was resolved, the guests finally left."Let's go, Grandma Jade. "Janet turned around to help Grandma Jade to a bench nearby, who kept looking at Janet."What's wrong? Is there anything on my face?" She merely smiled. "No, that's not it. I just feel that my granddaughter knows everything."Even though everyone else said that Janet was an uncultured brat from the countryside without any manners, she didn't think so. The corner of Janet's lips lifted upward into a smile, but she avoided the topic. "Are you hungry? Do you want some desserts?"Grandma Jade nodded and smiled. "I would like some cinnamon rolls, please."Sure." With that, Janet left her seat to go to the center of the party. Unexpectedly, as soon as the guests saw her, they walked up to her and asked, "Can you teach me how to distinguish between a real and fake jade?""I have many jade bracelets at home. Can you take a look for me?"Where did you learn how to tell genuine jades from fake ones?"Everyone was impressed by Janet's ability to tell the authenticity of jades, so they surrounded her in that instant. Her again! Why does Janet always spoil my plans? I was the center of attention just now... Standing opposite to Janet, Emily clenched her fists tightly as she witnessed the scene in front of her furiously.When Grandma Jade saw everyone surrounding Janet, she took a sip of the drink in front of her happily.Janet, however, looked sullen as she quickly took the desserts on the table before she said indifferently, "Excuse me."However, the people didn't seem to have heard her and they still surrounded her. She turned around deftly and sneaked out of the crowd the next instant.When she was on the way back to her seat, she took her phone out to take a look at the time. After realizing that it was already ten at night, she wondered how long had the man been waiting for her. Thinking of this, she typed a short message to Mason with one hand. '5 more minutes. 'Before she could send her message, she suddenly heard Chloe's voice. "Grandma are you okay?" Upon hearing that, Janet frowned immediately before she quickly locked her phone screen and walked to them.
