"At the TrewY's, "
"You were the only Lady Nalan we knew." "Aren't all your uncles living abroad with their families? As far as we know you are the only Lady Nalan." When Jessie Lou thought of the other woman, who was also claiming to be Lady Nalan, she felt sick from the inside.
Their food arrived and both girls ate in silence.
After they had finished, Jessie Lou brought Rosy up to speed on everything that was going on.
Jessie Lou also said "Rosy, I simply cannot take this any more." "That bitch should learn to stay out of things that don't concern her!" Jessie managed to eat the last bite of her steak.
Jessie was outraged every time she thought about Linda mocking her with sarcastic comments in front of others.
Everyone knew Jessie Lou belonging to the esteemed Luo Clan. No one dared speak to her the way Linda did at the library.
"Don't worry! We will make sure that bitch pays for everything."
"What are we going to do? Do you have a plan in mind?"
"Yes! How about causing some trouble. That will be fun, won't it?" "I have someone watching her everyday. I know she likes to take a walk around Plum garden after dinner. What do you think about her accidentally falling into that pool? After all, it is quite chilly." "My grandfather had that pool made so he could grow fish in it."
Jessie Lou understood and gave Rosy a wicked smile.
"How about we push her?" Jessie asked. "No, I don't think we should do it ourselves." "Tell me again, your grandfather adopted her as his granddaughter, right?" "Won't he be disturbed if he found out you are behind all this?"
Rosy let out a sigh and said "Jessie, you idiot!" "I'm telling you, we will not be doing this ourselves!" "There is no need to either." "All we have to do is, find out which domestic servant will be cleaning the Plum garden that day, then pay a good sum of money to...."
Rosy did not have to complete her sentence as Jessie already knew what she was thinking; after all, they had been friends so such a long time.
"Rosy, as always you are brilliant." Jessie said. "I've had it with that woman, it makes me so angry!" "And now, " just thinking of that bitch falling into that cold pool, makes me forget I was ever angry!"
Meanwhile, at midnight in Mu Clan mansion, Lisa Xia was having a nightmare, so bad it made her sweat despite the cold weather.
"Lisa Xia, don't you ever think you can come close to your sister Linda! You may have the same beautiful face as her now, but I still don't like you."
Charles Mu said in a firm tone. Lisa held on to her blanket, and whispered, "Young Master Mu.." "No!" "I know this is not what you are thinking."
"Lisa Xia!" "Who on earth do you think you are? You are nothing like Linda! She is so much better than you; you hear me, Lisa!" As if this nightmare was not already bad enough, Lisa Xia shook her head harder when she saw Adam Huo, in front of her.
That was when the real nightmare started...
