After traveling through time, I was in the front row watching the real daughter slap her face

Jacques looked behind them and did not see Emma as he had hoped. He frowned and stood up.

"Where's Emma?"

He called Emma several times during the day, but she didn't answer and even turned off her phone.

The two of them had just made some progress yesterday, and he still felt warm in his heart, so he was more willing to get close to Emma. He didn't expect that Emma would be so unreasonable in the end. After getting out of bed, she didn't give him the chance to get close to her.

Amid the gossip and contemptuous gazes of the crowd, Selena calmly smoothed her messy hair. It was obvious that after what happened last night, she had given up. She no longer cared much about her image or the gazes of the crowd.

"Something happened at Emma's house..."

Her eyes rested on Jacques for a moment.

"Her family has taken her back temporarily. She asked me to come and apologize to you. If you still want to spend the rest of your vacation in the villa, she will let the servants take care of you. If you don't want to continue playing here, you can leave early."

Serena ignored everyone's questions and followed Dave up to the second floor.

Jacques stood there, somewhat confused. He didn't know if something really happened in Emma's home that made her leave in such a hurry, or if it was because of what happened yesterday that Emma deliberately avoided him and left early.

He stood there and thought for a while, then caught up with Selena and quickly went upstairs. Just as Selena was about to close the door, he put his hand on the door.

"Wait a minute, I want to ask you something."

Serena paused as she was about to close the door, glanced at him, and then took a step back.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and the scene in Selena's room appeared before Jacques' eyes.

This is an extremely spacious guest room. Although it is not as luxurious as Emma's suite, the decoration level is very high.

As Emma's good friend, Selena has accompanied her here for vacation many times, so she has her own room. Therefore, the interior of the room is different from the guest rooms outside. It contains many of Selena's personal belongings and her favorite decoration style.

Jacques looked around the room.

"It seems that Emma is really good to you."

After all, the furnishings and personal belongings in the room were obviously beyond Selena's spending level. She knew without even looking that these things were bought by Emma for her.

Selena's eyes fell on the mural hanging on the wall, which Emma bought for her at a small auction. The theme was "Friendship", and it depicted two childhood sweethearts playing in a sea of ​​flowers.

Emma said that she gave the painting to her to commemorate their many years of friendship.

Judging from the meaning of this painting, who would not be moved by the deep love between these sisters?

But what others don't know is that there is another story behind the painting. Emma's generosity to Selena is not without reason. Before giving the painting to Selena, Selena took the risk to do something for her.

There was a piano competition in their district at that time, and Emma wanted to win the championship and stand out. Suddenly, a very talented little girl appeared at the competition, and the judges all liked her very much.

Seeing that the championship she wanted was about to be taken away by someone else, Emma turned around and instructed Serena to find a way to prevent the little girl from participating in the finals.

The day before the competition, Serena deliberately found someone to surround the little girl and injured her hand, which made her unable to play the piano and she withdrew from the competition at the last minute.

Emma won the championship as she wished, but the little girl injured her wrist tendon, ending her career.

After Selena found out about this, she ran over and took a sneak peek at the little girl. Seeing how depressed she looked, she suddenly felt uncomfortable for some reason.

She hated herself for being an accomplice of evil and despised Emma's selfishness. At the same time, she could not refuse Emma's request and was addicted to the fame and fortune that Emma brought her.

This contradictory mentality made Selena struggle for a long time. Emma may have noticed that something was wrong with her, so she spent a lot of money to buy the painting.

Therefore, the painting is not a gift but a compensation.

Therefore, although the painting was expensive, Serena did not like it and did not take it home, reasoning that her alcoholic father was short of money and would sell it one day when he saw it.

After saying that, Selena left the painting in the villa.

Emma thought that giving her the painting was already compensation for her, so she didn't mention it and didn't care where to hang the painting.

Hearing Jacques' words, Selena raised a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth, turned her back to him, and said softly:

"Yes, Emma has always been very nice to me. After all, she is my best friend."

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

Selena didn't know she was almost exposed. She stared at Jacques.

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

The two sat down on the sofa, and Jacques hesitated.

"Did something really happen at Emma's house?"

Serena shrugged slightly.

"That's what she told me. As for the specific reason, you know, although I am her best friend, I have to respect her privacy. So if Emma doesn't say anything, I can't ask too much."

"As to whether she left early because of family matters or other reasons, I don't know. You can ask her yourself, she might be happy to tell you the truth."

Jacques was somewhat reluctant to answer. He thought for a moment and asked:

"Have you been with her all day?"

Seeing Serena's teasing look, he coughed unnaturally and added:

"Because I haven't seen you all day. I thought you were hiding from us and secretly going somewhere fun."

"After she woke up in the morning, she received news that Zhai Jingkai and Le Wan went to the lake, so she hurried to the lake, followed them to the church, climbed up the mountain, and spent half a day like this."

Hearing Zhai Jingkai's name, Jacques's face suddenly darkened, and he said sarcastically:

"I didn't expect that the petite and beautiful Emma would take the initiative to ask her out for mountain climbing one day. It seems that this boy named Zhai Jingkai is really attractive to her. She actually abandoned her usual principles and took the initiative to be with him."

The two had a wonderful night last night, and it was very enjoyable. At the end, when his back was turned, Emma threw herself at another man.

Compared to the previous time when he and Emma were pushing and shoving each other, Emma now seemed very enthusiastic when facing Zhai Jingkai.

Is this the difference between love and not love? Jacques felt that he was deceived. He was proud that he had finally won Emma. Even if Emma was stubborn, the meat in his bowl would always be his. He was confident that Emma would surrender to him.

But the reality has given him a sharp warning. Obviously, Emma has no intention of submitting to him, but treats him as a tool for her own amusement.

But even so, Jacques's proud character made him unwilling to give up, and he stared at Selena.

"What happened last night?"

Selena felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw the unwilling expression on Jacques' face. She thought sarcastically:

Jacques, if you knew what happened to your goddess in the cabin this afternoon, would you still care so much about her?

An urge surged in Selena's heart. She wanted to tell him everything that happened in the afternoon and let Jacques know how dirty Emma was.

Fortunately, her jealousy had not completely overwhelmed her reason. She knew that what happened in the afternoon must not be exposed, otherwise she would be targeted by the Watson family, and her behavior would most likely be exposed.

The Watsons aren't as gullible as Emma.

Serena held her breath and lowered her head.

"You know Emma is used to having her own way. Last night she even tried to force Zhai Jingkai, but who knew this idiot was so ruthless. Emma used all her strength and took the initiative to suppress him, but he still managed to stay calm."

When Jacques heard Selena describe this scene, his breathing became rapid for a moment. Obviously, he remembered Emma's charming face last night.

He thought Emma was just using Zhai Jingkai to provoke him, but he didn't expect Emma was serious. She actually fell in love with Zhai Jingkai and spent so much money to seduce him.

So, in the end, Zhai Jingkai did not fall for Emma's trick and did not even look at her. Instead, Jacques picked up the leftovers and enjoyed a night of pleasure with the beauty.

But why did Jacques feel so unhappy when he was clearly the one who took advantage of her?

Perhaps it was because in Emma's heart, Zhai Jingkai was far more important than herself. Compared with Zhai Jingkai's noble character and integrity, he could not resist the temptation and took advantage of his weaknesses, appearing particularly despicable and mean.

Such a serious contrast was like a heavy blow, which severely hurt Jacques' self-esteem, and Jacques's dissatisfaction with Emma reached its peak.

He stood up and walked to the door. When he was about to turn the doorknob, he suddenly stopped, closed the door again, then narrowed his eyes and looked back at Selena.

"You said Emma was your best friend, right?"

Facing his gaze, Serena froze for some reason. She felt like she was being seen through. She emphasized,

"Of course, Emma is my best friend."

"Heh." Jacques snorted and stepped closer to her, "But you, who claim to be Emma's best friend, fell in love with me and flirted with me in front of her door."

He ran a hand through Serena's hair and grasped her neck, his thumb gently stroking the cut at the corner of her mouth.

"It seems like Emma isn't that important to you."

Selina's breathing suddenly stagnated. She was a little scared and wanted to step back, but the table behind her blocked her way.

"What are you afraid of?" Jacques raised his eyebrows and stared into her eyes. "You were so bold to tease me this morning, why did you shrink back when I touched you? Do you think I'm Emma's man, so I don't dare to do anything?"

Jacques waved his hands and snorted in boredom.

"I thought you were at least a brave and interesting person, but I didn't expect you to be so timid. Never mind, I just wanted to play with you. Since you're so boring, just pretend I didn't say anything."

He turned and was about to leave, but Selina bit her lip, clenched her fists, rushed forward, hugged him, and rested her head on his back.

Where Jacques couldn't see, Serena's eyes flashed with madness.

"I'm just afraid that my dirty face will scare you. If you're not in a hurry, just wait until I finish washing up and come out."

"Then you'd better hurry up, otherwise I can't guarantee that I have the patience." Jacques said jokingly, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
