She had never seen the similar simple and elegant retro skirt before. Instead, it was the style, or the way that woman was dressed that she indeed had an impression ...
Emily finally remembered that she hadn’t seen this dress before, but that she had seen similar dressing-up!
Yes, just the dressing up! Including hairstyles, skirts, and makeup!
It was Wendy!
Emily could never forget that scene. Because of Wendy’s acting, Matriarch Jackson thought that Emily had bullied Wendy.
At that time, Matriarch Jackson looked at her with disappointment and even a little disdain, which made her heart tremble.
On that day, Wendy was dressed exactly like Talia in the photo!
From that day onwards, she pretended to be the granddaughter of Matriarch Jackson!
It must be so! It was that day!
What exactly happened in the Jackson family’s backyard that day?
She gripped her palm tightly and tried to recall.
The more she recalled, the clearer the scene on that day became.
Evie, the maid of Matriarch Jackson, was not fired by Emily yet.
Before Emily met Matriarch Jackson, what exactly happened between her and Wendy?
This Evie might be a key role.
Emily put away the photos and tended to put the book back in place.
Unexpectedly, her hand slipped and the book almost fell from her hand.
Just as she hurriedly caught it, she saw a little thing fall out of the inner page and land on the ground.
Emily squatted down and picked up the paper, only to find that it was actually a business card.
It said Luke’s Detective Agency, Luke Cooke.
It turned out that Matriarch Jackson had found a private detective to investigate some matters.
If she guessed right, the Matriarch wanted to find out who her granddaughter was.
So, in the beginning, was Emily the person that Luke helped the Matriarch investigate?
However, on that day when Wendy was dressed like Talia, everything was changed.
What else had happened? Now, Emily was still in a mess, unable to figure it out.
There were footsteps outside, which startled Emily. She hurriedly put the business card into her bag and pretended to be looking through the book.
Sarah came in from outside and saw her. She said, “The news came that Patriarch Jackson is back. Now you may leave.”
“Alright.” Emily put the book back to its original position and immediately followed her to get out of the back room, then returned to Manson’s Tamron Pavilion.
Seeing Emily, Manson was excited for a long time.
She said that she had encountered a robber at that time, but was rescued later. Manson did not pursue this matter.
Because it was obvious that she was unwilling to elaborate it.
Manson only regretted that he hadn’t taken good care of her.
“I’ve already had someone give a lesson to those girls, especially the women from the Marsh family.”
However, Manson still didn’t have the confidence to talk about this in front of Emily.
Since he couldn’t be the first to help her when she was in need, what was the use of making up when “the die is cast”?
Sure enough, Emily was not in the mood. When Manson said something, she nodded to show that she was listening.
Apart from that, there was nothing else.
After dinner, Manson still insisted on sending Emily out, and Sarah did not stop him.
But today, Emily told him that she wanted to slowly walk around the courtyard.
So they got on the sightseeing bus and drove slowly along the front yard.
“I’m really sorry about what happened that day …”
“Didn’t you agree not to mention it again?” It was useless to talk too much.
