The night finally passed. In the next morning, when Emily was still asleep, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
'Oh, who is it?' She was so annoyed. But the person kept knocking at the door.
She walked out in a daze with the chicken nest head. When she opened the door, she saw four or five nervous servants standing at the door.
"Miss Shirley, it's time to get up. Otherwise, you will be late for class." The servant urged anxiously.
"Is it so late?" Emily didn't want to get up because the bed was so comfortable. And last night, James went out for a whole night and didn't come back. She didn't know where he had gone.
"Yes, His Highness is having breakfast downstairs. You'd better hurry up."
What? Where did he sleep?
"Eh, where did James sleep last night? Did he come back from outside? " Emily asked as she changed into the school uniform handed over by the servant.
"Miss Shirley, His Highness came out of this room just now. Didn't he sleep with you last night? "
"What?" Emily looked around. She remembered that she had a very comfortable pillow in her sleep. Was it him that she held last night? When did he come back and sleep with her? Why didn't she realize it at all?
The door was still locked from inside. Could this guy go through the wall?
It was getting more and more strange. With doubts, Emily quickly changed into her school uniform. The servants tidied her hair. She washed her face quickly and went downstairs.
At this time, James had put down his fork.
When he saw her coming downstairs, he was expressionless.
Instead, the emperor and the queen on the main seats greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Shirl."
"Good morning, father and mother. I'm sorry. I got up a little late." Emily said awkwardly. She didn't go downstairs until almost everyone at the table had finished breakfast. She felt a little embarrassed.
"Ha ha, it's okay. Don't worry at all. If you don't have class, I won't let the servant disturb you." The queen said thoughtfully.
It was so touching. Emily felt the queen was even better than her own mother.
"I don't dare to be late." According to the order of their seats, Emily sat beside James, picked up a few sandwiches and began to eat.
Sitting opposite her, Fiona ate her breakfast as if nothing had happened, as if what happened last night was a dream. Now that she woke up, it meant the dream was over.
"Dad, mom, I have to go to school today, and I have to take James' car." After the meal, Fiona asked the emperor and the queen in a coquettish manner.
"Honey, let's ask the driver to drive you to school in person. Your brother James is going to drive your sister Shirley to school. And you are in junior high school, not the same department as them. " The emperor advised rationally.
"No, no! Dad, mom, we'll arrive at the school gate together. After getting off the car, I can walk to my class by myself." Fiona blinked her pretty eyes with an irresistible smile.
'It's disgusting. You are so good at pretending.' Emily satirized secretly. She really didn't know how long this girl could play cute like this.
"Well, honey, you can ask your brother James. If he agrees, you can let him send you there." The queen threw the tough question to the silent James sitting next to her.
"Brother James, may I? Please." Fiona looked pitiful when she asked for help. Even Emily would agree.
"Ahem, ahem." Listening to the soft and sweet voice, Emily felt bad.
She choked on the food and coughed violently.
James picked up a glass of milk and put it heavily in front of her, but still didn't say a word.
"Shirl, let's eat slowly. We still have time. Don't worry. It's not good to choke." The queen looked at her with concern.
Fiona felt even unhappier. In the past, her parents only loved her and her brother James. But now, Emily suddenly broke in and competed with her for love. How could she swallow this anger?
Her hand holding the milk cup became tighter and tighter, and she really wanted to pour it over, but her parents were present. Well, there would always be a chance to teach her a lesson next time.
No one knew Fiona's thought. Emily was still eating her breakfast with her head down.
At this time, James said, "Fio, you'd better ask the driver to send you. It's not appropriate for three people in one car."
This was not the answer that Fiona had waited for a long time.
Emily was overjoyed. She didn't like her and now she finally got her revenge.
A scheming bitch was hypocritical, and should have ended up like this. At first, she disdained to go to school in the same car with James, but she wanted to revenge the girl who pretended ghost to scare her last night. So, she decided to go to school with James obediently this time.
Emily was not a saint. She was a girl who dared to love and hate. She would not hurt others unless she was hurt by them. She would revenge whenever she needed to. This was her.
"Oh, my brother James, I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to have a chat with you!" Fiona sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes and about to fall.
James was the last person who wanted to see a girl cry. He made a decision irritably.
