Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Dave only knew that Serena was going to deal with Emma, but he didnât know about the deal she had discussed with Zhai Jing in private. Therefore, he didnât suspect the Le family for what happened that day. Seeing the wound on
Serenaâs face, he felt a little sorry.
âYou know, Iâve always been on your side.â
Therefore, he would do whatever Serena said.
Yes, as one of Emmaâs sidekicks, although Emma was the prettiest and most outstanding in all aspects, Dave liked Serena, who wasnât very attractive, and not Emma.
Unfortunately, Serena had never liked him because he was too brawny and too simple-minded. However, Dave had never given up on his feelings and chose to stay by Serenaâs side.
After Serena heard his words, she only turned around to look at him and warned,
âI hope you donât forget what I said today.â
The two of them returned to the villa in a sorry state, and as expected, they attracted everyoneâs attention.
Jacques looked behind the two of them and didnât see Emma as he had hoped. He frowned and stood up,
âWhere did Emma go?â
He called Emma many times during the day, but she didnât pick up. She even turned off her phone.
The two of them had just made progress yesterday, and he was still feeling warm in his heart, so he was more willing to get close to Emma. In the end, he didnât expect Emma to be so unreasonable. After getting out of bed, she didnât give him a chance to get close at all.
Under everyoneâs gossipy and disdainful gazes, Serena calmly smoothed her messy hair. It was obvious that after what happened last night, she had already given up. She did not care much about her image, nor did she care much about their gazes.
âSomething happened to Emmaâs familyâ¦â
Her gaze fell on Jacques for a while.
âHer family has already taken her back temporarily. She told me to apologize to you. If you want to continue to spend the rest of the holiday in the villa, she will let the servants at home take care of you. If you donât want to continue to play here, you can leave early.â
Serena ignored everyoneâs questions and went up to the second floor, followed by Dave.
Jacques, who was still standing at the same spot, was a little bewildered. He wasnât sure if something had really happened at Emmaâs house that caused her to leave in such a hurry, or if it was because of what had happened between them yesterday that Emma had deliberately avoided him and left early.
He stood where he was and thought for a moment. Then, he chased after Serena and hurried up to the second floor. Just as Serena was about to close the door, he pressed his hand against the door.
âWait, I have something to ask you.â
Serenaâs hand that was closing the door paused. She glanced at him and then took a step back.
âPlease come in.â
The door opened, and the scene in Serenaâs room was displayed in front of Jacques.
It was an extremely spacious guest room. Although it wasnât as luxurious as Emmaâs suite, the decorations were of a high standard.
As Emmaâs good friend, Serena had followed her here for many vacations, so she had her own room. Therefore, the interior of the room was different from the guest rooms outside. It was filled with a lot of Serenaâs personal belongings and her favorite decoration style.
Jacques glanced around the room.
âIt seems that Emma really treats you well.â
After all, the furnishings and personal items in the room were obviously beyond Serenaâs spending level. Without looking, he knew that Emma had helped her buy these things.
Serenaâs eyes fell on the mural hanging on the wall. Emma had bought it for her at a small auction. The theme was âFriendship.â It was a painting of two childhood sweethearts playing in a sea of flowers.
Emma said it was to commemorate their many years of friendship, so she specially took this painting and gave it to her.
From the meaning of this painting, who wouldnât be moved by their sisterhood?
But what others didnât know was that there was another story hidden behind this painting. Emma wasnât so generous to her for no reason. Before she gave her the painting, Serena took the risk to do something for her.
At that time, there was a piano competition in their district. Emma wanted to win the championship and make a name for herself. In the end, a very talented little girl suddenly appeared in that competition and the judges liked her very much.
Seeing that the championship she wanted was about to be won by someone else, Emma turned around and instructed Serena to think of a way to stop the little girl from participating in the finals..
