Nomsa went through all the messages on Weibo. She tried to think about it in an optimistic way: she did not have a Weibo account otherwise, she would receive tons of bad comments from angry netizens. It was impossible not to get angry when she saw those vicious curses. Nomsa couldn't stand it. She took out her phone and called Vicky.
After a long time, Vicky picked up the phone."Why do you call me now? Is there anything wrong? " Vicky's voice was gentle and calm, as if she didn't know anything an the Internet. Nomsa smiled coldly and subdued her anger.She tried to make her voice sound normal. "Do you know the trending topic on Weibo? and the news on other social media platforms? "Nomsa had just gone on the Internet. Not only had it been trending on Weibo, but there was also news on various other platforms. The public was happy to see this kind of drama between wealthy families. Of course, the press would not let go. Vicky said carelessly, "What news? I'm busy at work . Before my brother comes back from studying abroad, I have to help dad manage the company. I'm not like you. You can watch the entertainment news in your spare time." Vicky said that in a certain careless attitude. However, she was just showing off. After graduating from university, Vicky joined the Jarret Group as a manager. However, after Nomsa graduated, she didn't get the opportunity. Even she took the initiative to tell Karen that she wanted to start working at the Jarret Group from the basic position, Karen refused her still, "You are not as competent as your sister. You can't help even if you go to the company.Go find a job yourself." As for Lynn, he had never cared about her studies or work. Thinking of this, Nomsa's anger mounted up. She said coldly and harshly, "Don't pretend. I know it was you. I don't know what you want to do. But I know that even if you throw mud at me, it's useless. I've married into the Emersons. Even if they don't like me, they will not allow anyone to ruin my reputation." Vicky's expression changed when she heard Nomsa's words. In her impression, Nomsa had always been a stupid woman. But after marrying into the Emersons, she suddenly became less stupid. Although she didn't know why Nomsa had become a little smarter, this didn't count anything to Vicky because she knew Nomsa's weakness. "What about Karen? Don't you care about her?" She smiled and said confidently. In the past, every time Vicky wanted Nomsa to do something, she would tell Karen .Then Nomsa would do everything Karen asked her to do . Therefore, Vicky knew that Nomsa cared about Karen the most. When Nomsa heard that , she clenched her phone tightly. She pursed her lips and said indifferently ,"Karen? I don't care."
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Just as Nomsa put down her phone, she felt that someone was looking at her. So, she looked up and found that the door was open. "Douglas "was leaning against the door with his arms folded! "You ...How did you get in my room?" Nomsa's face turned pale. She had locked the door before she went to sleep.
Douglas shook the key in his hand. He looked up at her and said carelessly, "What do you think?"
Nomsa blushed, "Go out!" How could she know how he had the key to her room? Douglas was indifferent looking at her face flushed with anger. He calmly said, "Are you in trouble? "
Nomsa pinched her blanket and said coldly,"It's none of your business." Her cold face had no threat to him at all. "Of course it's none of my business, but if you beg me, I'll consider helping you." Douglas looked at her nonchalantly. He didn't hide his ill intentions.
Nomsa will never beg him.
Douglas looked at her deeply, turned, and walked out. He walked a couple of steps and met Tim who gently nodded, and asked for his opinion, "Sir, what are you doing about the news on missus?"Douglas recalled what Nomsa said, snickered and laughed coldly, said, "What does it have to do with me? Even if I want to help, she has to want my help, ah!" Douglas went to the study as soon as he finished. Tim looked at his back view and realized that boss's last 'Ah' had a hint of resignation.
...
Nomsa didn't plan to be bothered by the news on social media. She doesn't know why Vicky suddenly did that and she can't be bothered to guess. She only knew that Jessica already knew that she had replaced Vicky to be married to the Emersons family. Thereafter, Jessica may directly tear her up. Even if Jessica wanted to tear her up, she still had to find Jessica. Both of them found a more remote cafe. After all, Jessica was a small actress with a following of seven to eight hundred fans. She will also be worried about being recognized in public.
When she arrived at the cafe, Jessica had already arrived. Jessica had a mask on, her hair tied to a ponytail and wore a simple outer jacket. She looks clean and tidy. Add to that a unique look, everyone would look in her direction.
Jessica was like this since young. She was always the focal point and easily attracted attention wherever she went. Nomsa sat down opposite her and greeted with an apologetic tone, "Waited for long? " Jessica crossed her arms and leaned back on the sofa, looked her in the eyes and said slowly, "You are the missus of Emerson family, a nobody like me should wait for you. "
Nomsa, "..."
When Jessica saw that Nomsa was speechless, she stopped her viciousness. She took off her mask, tossed it aside, and said rudely, "You own mother seems to have been cast a spell by someone.She spoil someone else's daughter and disregarded her own daughter. She never considered for your well being . I always said that you should be careful, look what happened now , you were fooled into marrying into the Emerson family! "After Jessica finished,she picked up the glass and drank it entirely. Nomsa adjusted the eyeglasses on her nose and reminded her, "Drink slowly. "
Jessica glared at her, "Did the Emerson family mistreat you?" "No, the Emersons are quite nice."Except for 'Douglas ' who kept pestering her, the rest were nice to her. Jessica remembered the proper matter that they are supposed to discuss, "Do you know why Vicky wanted to buy the top search to say that you snatched her fiancé?"
"How do you know that it was Vicky who bought the search ?" Nomsa paused as she was pouring her a glass of water. Jessica looked at her as if she was looking at a fool, "Look at you, who would bother to slander you at this moment unless there is something to gain?" "What is there to gain?" Nomsa really didn't understand why Vicky would do such a thing. Jessica laughed coldly and said, "Before I boarded the flight, I asked a paparazzi friend of mine to ask around. What Vicky did, was so that she could openly be with Jerome. She was just short of a stepping stone, you." When she heard Jessica said that, Nomsa naturally understood. Although the Emerson family didn't mind that the person who married into the family wasn't Vicky, Emerson had some influence in Hoover city. No one dared to be too close to Vicky.
At this time, Vicky had to resolve Leonardo's fiancee's status. That was why she went to the social media to buy the hot search and slander Nomsa, thereby letting herself become a kind and loving sister. Nomsa pursed her lips and said , "What a beautiful plot." "And ? What do you intend to do?" Jessica thought about something and continued to ask, "I ask you, you married Leonardo just like that , you all..." "He despises me because I'm ugly. We're cold as ice." Nomsa knew about what she was asking and said directly.
"The ugly will really cause trouble , he can't perform and despise others for being ugly. Just dress up and makeup and you'll blind his eyes with your beauty! "Recently Jessica's film's were about seeking revenge.That's why she loves counter attacks. Nomsa laughs, "No need , we're fine as we are now. " To each his own, it was a pretty good arrangement.
...
A while later, Jessica left after she received a call from her agent but before she left she was vying for the check. Nomsa wasn't as tall as her nor was her hand longer than hers. Jessica won. Thought she was typically loud and boyish, she was very attentive to the minor details. She knew that Nomsa doesn't earn much and whenever they dine together ,she'll always find a means to pay for it.
Nomsa felt touched but also felt bad about it. Jessica knew all her secrets and the issues of the Jarrett family.
Long ago, Jessica once said that Nomsa shouldn't hope much from her family, especially Karen.
But she didn't believe until she was forced to marry into the Emerson family. But even at this point , not only were they unsatisfied, they wanted to make use of her. Do they think that she can be so easily used? Nomsa was about to take a car back to Leonardo's villa when she received a call from Karen. Karen's voice was unusually warm, "Nomsa, can you come home for dinner?"
At this critical moment, Karen was so caring to give her a call, obviously she did it for purposes.
Nomsa rejected, and said calmly, "I'm busy." Karen didn't expect her to reject outrightly .Her tone stiffened ,"You are jobless now, what are you busy with? Come home for dinner, everyone's here..." "Oh, I'm now with the Emerson family. Nomsa cut off Karen's words. Karen was furious now and yelled ,"Does a daughter speak like that to her mother? " She never used such a tone to speak to Karen and Karen will not talk to Vicky with impatience. In the end, it was because she didn't care.Karen didn't care about her and that explained the attitude. Now she doesn't care about Karen and thus she can't warm up to her.
"The look she gives Vicky, is more filial and soft . She's good in every way."Nomsa hung up the call as soon as she finished saying.
