Chapter 76
“I’ll think of something to give Old Madam Lowry as a gift.”
“Alright.”
In the Lowry Residence at Sandfort City, Sean was reporting the situation to Mason, “Young Master Mason, she rejected your order.”
After listening to him, Mason furrowed his brows. “Why?”
Sean responded with the exact words that were related to him. “She said that her paintings cost at least 80 million, but you only offer her 20 million.”
It was true that Mason didn’t think of that before, so he opened his thin lips again. “Then, give her 200 million.”
200 million? When Mason said those words, Sean was taken aback. Young Master Mason has arrived at a scary point where money is nothing to him anymore.
As soon as Lee received the news, he immediately relayed the message to Janet. ‘Now, they are offering us 200 million.’
In a mere second, Janet replied. ‘Tell him that I accept his order.’
After receiving her reply, Lee couldn’t help but sigh. As expected, you can do anything with money.
However, two seconds later, she sent another text. ‘But, he only needs to pay the 20 million that he promised before.’
Actually, she considered not collecting his money at all, but if she did that, Mason would inevitably be suspicious. After all, her attitude had taken a drastic change.
“Huh?” Lee was surprised. Janet has completely changed her mind in ten minutes?!
Sean was also quick with the news, so he immediately informed Mason exactly what she said.
“Young Master Mason, she has agreed to accept our order. With just 20 million, she will deliver it to us by Sunday.”
“Huh?” Mason squinted his phoenix-like eyes and asked in confusion. “She doesn’t want the 200 million?”
Sean nodded. “She said that she only wants a favor from the Lowry Family.”
“Alright. Tell her that I’ll remember this favor of hers.”
During the entire week, the Jacksons were busy with Emily’s discipleship ceremony.
At the same time, Janet was also busy with the landscape painting. After all, it was a gift for Old Madam Lowry, so she couldn’t afford to mess it up—and just like that, she accidentally stayed up all night, so she woke up especially late the next day.
In the morning, Megan prepared a princess dress for Emily. “Emily, try wearing this and give the other one to Janet. The whole family needs to be dressed impressively for our reputation.”
When Emily looked at her reflection in the mirror, she seemed to have forgotten what Megan said as she had never been that beautiful before.
At 9.30AM, Emily had already dressed up, so she showed her pink dress to Megan.
The maids also praised her after seeing her dress. “Miss Emily, you look so beautiful. Some people may even mistake you for a celebrity!”
“The pink skirt looks really gorgeous. Let me congratulate you first for your apprenticeship, Miss Emily.”
Upon hearing the praises from the housekeepers, Emily was starting to feel pleased about herself.
Then, she pulled Megan’s hands and whined, “Mom, is Janet coming down? I’m the protagonist for today!”
Megan patted her hand, assuring, “Emily, you can enter the car first. I’ll go and call her!”
Emily was becoming impatient and she even wanted to scold Janet a few more times in front of their mother. However, Janet’s voice rang as she said, “I’m coming!”
The next second, everyone turned and looked at the stairs.
For a moment, everyone, including Emily, were shocked because they saw Janet wearing a blue long dress. Not only did she look pure and elegant, but there were even a few traces of cuteness in her innocence that made her look extremely eye-catching.
With just a glance, Megan was also taken aback by what she just saw. Janet really has the shadow of my past self. While looking at her, Megan felt as though she was looking straight at her younger self.
All of the maids quickly praised her. “Miss Janet, you really look good in a blue dress.”
“Miss Janet looks exactly like Madam Jackson during her younger years.”
Emily was getting furious while listening to everyone’s praises of Janet.
I am the protagonist for today, okay? Why is everyone focusing on Janet? What’s wrong with them? However, she tried her best to suppress her anger. As long as I become Old Mr. Collins’ apprentice, she won’t even deserve to lick my feet. Hmph, let’s see what happens later!
In the morning, the Jacksons went to the art gallery first as the discipleship ceremony was only held at night.
Emily loved to be in lively places, so she accompanied Megan to the resting area to drink tea and chat. She wasn’t even here to admire the paintings.
On the other hand, Janet loved coming to art galleries because it felt quiet and relaxing to her, as if she was transported back to her training days in Markovia a few years ago.
While looking at the paintings displayed on the wall, she remained emotionless. However, when she saw a painting under the name ‘Steven Collins’, she stared at it for a minute. If I’m not mistaken, this is the legendary painting by Old Mr. Collins. His skill in art is really high. Even though he hasn’t reached my level yet, he is still a top artist in the world. However, why would a skilled artist like him admire Emily’s awful drawings and even accept her as his apprentice? It’s really hard to understand!
