Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The day before the competition, Serena had specially found someone to surround the little girl and hurt her hand, causing her to be unable to play the piano and withdraw from the competition at the last minute.

Emma had won the championship as she wished, and that little girl had injured her wrist tendon, which had ended her career path.

After Serena found out about this, she specially ran over to secretly take a look at the little girl. When she saw her depressed look, she didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She resented herself for being an accomplice to evil and despised Emma’s selfishness. At the same time, she couldn’t refuse Emma’s request and was addicted to the fame and fortune that Emma provided her.

This contradictory mentality made Serena’s heart struggle for a long time. Emma might have noticed that something was wrong with her, so she specially spent a lot of money to buy this painting.

Therefore, this painting was not a gift, but compensation.

Therefore, although this painting was expensive, Serena didn’t like it. She didn’t bring this painting home. The reason was that her alcoholic father was short of money and would one day sell it if he saw it.

With this, Serena left the painting in the villa.

Emma thought that she had made it up to her by giving her the painting, so she didn’t mention it and didn’t care where she hung the painting.

Hearing Jacques’ words, Serena’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She turned her back to him and said softly,

“Yes, Emma has always been so good to me. After all, she’s my best friend.”

Jacques felt that there was something wrong with her tone, but when she turned around, Serena had already restrained her emotions. He didn’t notice anything unusual, so he thought that the discomfort just now was just an illusion, and quickly put it aside.

Serena still didn’t know that she had almost been exposed. She stared at Jacques,

“Tell me, why did you come all the way here?”

The two of them sat down on the sofa. Jacques hesitated for a moment.

“Did something really happen to Emma’s family?”

Serena shrugged her shoulders lightly.

“That’s what she said to me. As for the exact reason, you know that although I’m her best friend, I have to respect her privacy. So if Emma doesn’t say anything, I can’t ask too much.”

“As for whether she left early because of family matters or other matters, I’m not sure. Maybe you can ask her yourself. She might be happy and tell you the truth.”

Jacques was a little unwilling to get an answer. He thought about it and asked,

“Have you been with her all day?”

Seeing Serena’s teasing gaze, he coughed unnaturally and added,

“Because I didn’t seem to see you all day. I was wondering if you guys were avoiding us and secretly went to some fun place to play.”

“After she woke up in the morning, she received news that Zhai Jing and Le Wan had gone to the lakeside, so she rushed to the lakeside. Then, she followed the two of them to the church and climbed the mountain. Half a day passed.”

Jacques’s expression immediately darkened when he heard Zhai Jing’s name. He said sarcastically,

“I didn’t expect that the delicate and beautiful Emma would take the initiative to go hiking one day. It seems that the boy called Zhai Jing is really attractive to her. She actually abandoned her usual principles and took the initiative to stick to him.”

The two of them had a wonderful night last night, and the process was very pleasant. In the end, when he turned around, Emma pounced on another man.

Compared to before when he and Emma were pushing and pulling each other, when it came to Zhai Jing, Emma seemed so eager.

Was this the difference between love and not love? Jacques deeply felt that he had been fooled. Originally, he was still proud that he had finally won Emma over. Even if Emma was still stubborn, the meat in his bowl would always belong to him. He was confident that he could make Emma submit to him.

However, reality had given him a sharp warning. Clearly, Emma had no intention of submitting to him at all. Instead, she treated him as a tool for pleasure.

But even so, his pride made Jacques unwilling to give up. He stared at Serena.

“What happened last night?”
