Playing with A Billionaire

Emily paused for a moment before replying pretentiously, “Mommy, it’s entirely my fault. If it weren’t for me, Janet wouldn’t have been so materialistic!”

“That’s not true,” Megan consoled her. “You are forever my precious daughter.”

Janet stood beside the railing on the second floor while she observed the scene. Her lips curled slightly into a mocking smile.

The next day, someone came to pay the Jackson Family a visit out of the blue.

Someone was knocking on the door early in the morning, and so Emily came forward to answer the door in a rush.

It turned out to be Megan’s friend, Madam Lane.

Megan and Madam Lane got to know each other in the past when they were models. They were friendly with each other, and so after learning that Megan had found her biological daughter, Madam Lane came rushing over for a visit today.

Emily smiled happily when she saw her. “Mrs. Lane, nice to see you!”

Megan came over to greet her as well, “Madam Lane, you’re here!”

Madam Lane regarded Emily with her kind eyes. “Emily, it’s been such a long time since I last saw you. You are now even taller and prettier.”

Emily covered her face shyly while giggling. “Thank you.”

The three of them chatted for a bit before noticing Janet nearby.

“Eh, is that girl your biological daughter?”

Megan felt her heart sink, and she clenched her fists tightly while her expression stiffened involuntarily.

“Yes…”

At that moment, it so happened that Janet was seated on the couch. She had a pair of earphones on while she leaned against the couch lazily. Nevertheless, she was emitting an unapproachable and unfriendly aura.

Madam Lane smiled while commenting, “She is so pretty, and she really takes after you. Madam Jackson, you are a true winner in life for having two pretty daughters.”

Megan’s nails dug deep into her palms, and she felt the sharp pain. Emily, who was standing beside her, felt even worse.

“Madam Lane, you must be joking; sometimes, having more isn't necessarily a good thing.”

It so happened that Janet looked up at them when Megan commented so.
