Ch. 71..75: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 71-75
Chapter 71: His Attitude Was a Little Defying Towards Her
Grandma also sensed that something was wrong with Emily. She gently asked her, "Emily, do you know Vincent?"
Emily, stunned, quickly snapped out of her thoughts.
Without waiting for her response, Vincent denied lightly, "No, we don't know each other."
His attitude was a little defying towards her; everyone could see that.
However, it was also true that Vincent, just like Hunter, kept a respectful distance between themselves and women.
The way Emily was staring at him was like her eyes glued onto him, his behavior was normal.
Hunter's grandfather cleared his throat and said, his tone a bit cold, "It's almost time."
He stood up.
As he stood up, except for the grandma in the wheelchair, everyone else stood up as well.
Emily knew that she was being impolite. However, a moment ago, she really couldn't control her emotions.
She was extremely happy. Other people could not understand this kind of excitement and joy.
"Emily, come push me!" Grandma didn't think much about it.
Every time Emily came to visit, Grandma especially liked to talk to her and get along. Even, Vincent, who had just returned home, was thrown aside her.
Emily immediately walked behind grandma and pushed her wheelchair carefully.
Grandfather walked ahead, and Emily pushed Grandma's wheelchair behind him. As for Hunter and Vincent, they walked at the end.
"So, this is your fiancée?" Vincent stared at the slender figure in front of him, his expressions getting colder.
"Yeah." Hunter responded, but did not explained any further about her.
"Do you really want to marry her?" Vincent asked again.
However, Hunter asked another question instead of replying, "Are you back for good this time?"
Hunter avoided the topic, which showed, he was still not sure if he was going to marry Emily after two years or not.
As a result, Vincent's expressions became a bit relaxed.
"Yeah, I am going to stay here and follow your footsteps."
"Not staying in the Jackson family?" Hunter smiled; he only smiled occasionally in front of his brother.
"Grandpa is going to skin you alive."
"Is your skin still on your body?" Vincent's thin lips curled slightly, "if he wants to peel anyone's skin off, you should be the first one."
Hunter didn't say anything after that. Soon, they arrived at the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was already full of people from the Jackson family. To know how big was the Jackson family, one just needed to look at the ostentation.
Although many of the people sitting at the back were friends brought over by the younger generation of the family, all of the people sitting in the front were from the Jackson family indeed.
Women accounted for the majority, men sat at the front few tables, the five whole tables at the back were filled with women.
Naturally, Grandma sat with Grandfather. Besides them on the table, there were several gentlemen at that table, as well as several sons of the eldest gentleman.
Some people were absent. Only the eldest gentleman, his two brothers and Hunter and Vincent were there.
It was said that the fifth young master Porter Jackson was currently abroad and couldn't come back in time.
At the table beside them, the sons of grandfather's two brothers were sitting.
And the table diagonally beside that one, was taken by the sons and grandsons of the two brothers of eldest gentleman.
Every table, every seat, represented a different status.
In the rich and powerful world of the Jackson family, the distinction between status and position was clear and rigorous.
Even if the number of people was not enough for a table, no one else could just casually join at the table. This was the rule of
the formal banquet of the Jackson family.
The side where men sat looked a bit cold and cheerless, however, the women's side was lively and excited.
There were so many women in the Jackson family, which made people feel dazzled.
When Emily came in, she was led by a maid to the first table for women.
There was Sarah, the eldest gentleman's wife, and his two daughters, the fourth daughter of the family, Tabby Jackson and the sixth daughter of the family, Snowy Jackson.
After them, sat the two daughters of one of the brothers of the eldest gentleman and then the youngest daughter of the other
brother.
Then, sat a person who Emily knew well as an acquaintance, that was Rosy Jackson, the one she met today in the mansion.
Emily's seat was arranged besides Sarah, which could be seen as the second most important seat at the table.
It showed that Emily's status was higher than that of the two daughters of the family.
She was just the fiancée of Hunter Jackson but she already sat in such a high position even before she officially married in the family.
Not to mention the other women sitting at the table, they all felt a bit offended.
Emily still hadn't entered the family officially and this was happening. In the future, with Hunter's status in the family, even Sarah was going to have to give up her status for Emily.
However, Sarah didn't seem to care much about all this. Seeing Emily coming, she laughed softly, "Emily, let's have a look at the menu tonight."
She took the menu from the maid and handed it to Emily herself.
"Look and see if there's something you don't like; I'll have it replaced immediately."
In order to show her respect, Emily looked at the menu carefully for a while before shaking her head, "I like it all."
"Good." Sarah returned the menu to the maid, then looked at everyone and said, "This is a Hunter's fiancée, the second lady of the Gale family, Emily Gale."
Nobody spoke.
Of course, Hunter could not be offended, but Emily was so ugly that no one believed that hunter would like her.
For a woman like Emily who was not even pretty enough to be loved, why would
the rich spoiled ladies be willing to win over
her favor.
Seeing everyone's cold and indifferent attitude towards Emily, Rosy was relieved.
Rosy was thinking: It seemed to her that Emily really had no status in the family,
but because of the relationship between her
and Hunter, everyone was being polite.
The reason why she could sit on that table was also because of Hunter's status.
That day, she offended Hunter, not because he really loved Emily, but because of Venessa that idiot's fault.
Venessa, to Hunter's face, said that the man behind Emily must be some rotten
old rich man. Of course, Venessa angered
Hunter.
Oh! How much longer was that ugly monster going to keep her pretentious little
smile.
She was so ugly, sooner or later, Hunter was going to leave her.
Rosy was sure that when the time came, Emily would want to die of shame.
Seeing that everyone was so cold and indifferent towards Emily, Sarah took the
initiative to look at Tabby and Snowy and said, "Tabby, Snowy, call her sister-in-
law.
"Aunt Sarah, it is not suitable!" Snowy flitted a light smile at her and said, "She
hasn't officially married into our family yet. How
can you tell me to call her with those words?"
Tabby, who was two years older than Snowy, didn't dare to say anything. She
merely pretended that she didn't hear Sarah and continued to chat with Rosy.
Sarah felt a little embarrassed. Neither of them was her own daughter, so it was hard to scold them for her.
Emily could see that the eldest lady of the Jackson family had no dignity in front of
her children.
Being a stepmother was hard, especially in such a big family.
In order not to embarrass Sarah, Emily could only take initiative in greeting the
girls, "Tabby and Snowy, right? Hi, I am Emily."
Chapter 72: You are Done
Just now everyone believed Emily would be extremely embarrassed, yet she was too calm. She even seemed to show some of sympathy in her eyes.
Looking at Sarah, she said, "I apologize for it. Iam so rude. I don't know both of them are deaf."
Snowy was very angry with her words and stood up abruptly. Her face turned red, "What did you say? Bitch, who is deaf?"
Emily dared to humiliate them to this extent. She was crazy?
She did not know how powerful the Jackson's family was in the Bentson City?
In fact, it would be possible for the daughters from the other women to be bullied; but Snowy's mother was the legal wife in the family of which Snowy was almost the princess. How could she suffer it?
The Gale's family was totally nothing to the Jackson's family. Even the master Charles Gale would be a nobody to her.
Emily was the third daughter of the Gale's family, merely an ugly and unimportant girl; she said Snowy was deaf!
Tabby was not that emotional for this, but also badly annoyed.
This was her first time in life to feel shamed in front of many people.
Tabby and Snowy were the daughters of the first wife in Jackson's family. All the girls over the Bentson City would respect them for sure.
Sarah was similarly astonished and tried to argue with them for Emily; unluckily, she could not think out what to say.
Others persons were also stunned for a couple of seconds and soon became some of happy.
The coming daughter in law of the Jackson's family was challenging two important girls of it. Everyone here was glad to see it.
Emily did not look at Snowy, because Snowy called a bitch. She was not the one, so would not like to say anything.
She turned back to get the menu from the maid and talked with Sarah about the dishes tonight.
Emily pointed to the menu and said, "I think the two dishes are of the same flavor.
If we can cancel one of it, shall we get that replacement?"
Then she smiled to Sarah and still ignored Snowy.
Snowy was driven mad with the humiliation which she never experienced before.
She got the cup on the table and threw the water to Emily.
A moment ago, Emily guessed what Snowy would do to her. As soon as Snowy was getting the cup, Emily was ready to stand
up.
As soon as Snowy she was throwing water, Emily stood up soon to avoid it.
However, Sarah who sat still was in trouble.
Snowy tried to throw water to Emily, but water spread from such a distance.
Half water dropped down on Emily's chair, at the same time, the other half dropped down on Sarah.
Maid rushed to go to get the towel and help Sarah dry herself.
The other maid beside Emily was also surprised and busy with cleaning the table and chair.
Emily looked peacefully, just watched Snowy to ask, "Miss Snowy, what do you mean?"
The host appeared to notice what was happening here between these girls.
Anyway, men always paid no attention to girls' fighting.
Sarah should be able to solve every problem here, but this time, she was also involved in some trouble.
Snowy said, "Bitch, you did not hear me? I am asking you. You said who is deaf?"
She was greatly arrogant because she believed those men would not interfere with them; as for Sarah, Snowy did not think
she could be able to something.
As a result, she dared to throw water to them without any concern.
Emily shrugged and answered, "You called a bitch. I don't know whom you are calling."
Snowy sneered to Say, "If it were not you, anyone else?" It was too funny for Emily to ask such a silly question.
Emily did not see what she was like?
"Bitch? Me? I don't think so. Your Eldest brother appreciates me and always says
I am fascinating. So, you mean he is an
idiot?"
"You..." Snowy was so angry that she was getting another cup to throw her water again.
Hunter said Emily was fascinating? Impossible!
Whatever possibility or impossibility, she would not say her Hunter was an idiot.
The bitch Emily really overestimated herself! She did not understand how annoying she was?
Hunter was willing to engage with her due that he would not like to go against their grandmother. He said she was
fascinating? It was shameful.
Emily sat back on the chair and looked at Sarah with kind of apology, "Are you
ok?"
She never expected that Sarah, so privileged as she was, had been treated in this
way in the family.
Both of the two girls could humiliate her so easily.
Sarah said, "Don't worry. I am ok." She seemed to get used to this.
Emily turned to look at Snowy; now she was glowering and said, "You should apologize to Mr. Sarah."
"Apologize?" Snowy heard the funniest word in the world. "You ask me to apologize? Emily, who are you talking with me
about this?"
"Who am I? You can go to ask your Eldest brother."
Snowy frowned and said, "Don't say my brother. You are not him; you are nothing
to me."
Emily said, "Sure, I am nothing. However, you should apologize for staining Ms. Sarah's clothes."
Sarah interrupted to say, "Emily, never mind. I am ok now." She would not like to argue more.
Emily said, "I know. But she made it in a wrong way. A girl who does not show any respect to the seniors might let people
think the children of Jackson's family are not well-behaved at all."
It was obvious that today Emily would not stop if Snowy did not apologize to
Sarah. Emily stared at Snowy with no willing to compromise.
"If I don't, what you will do?" Snowy asked.
She sat still on the chair with legs crossing and was smiling to see how
embarrassed Emily would be.
She went on, "Will you give me a slap? Don't just bark like a doggy."
"Ah..." now Rosy could not help laughing slightly.
The other people also laughed. Sarah tried to break the ice, but out of her
expectation, Emily stood up to walk to Snowy.
Seeing this, Snowy became nervous to ask, "What are you doing? You dare to do
it here in Jackson's family?"
Emily said, "You asked me to do it. I have never seen a stupid girl like you to ask others to give you a slap."
She stopped in front of Snowy's seat. Instead of hitting her, Emily got a cup and
threw all the water to her.
Snowy screamed, "What?"
There was not boiling tea in the cup, but still much warm.
Even Snowy was not be badly hurt by it, she would feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Emily, what are you doing? Will you kill me?"
She stood up with hands on her face, as a result, she hit on the chair without clear
vision.
Then she stumbled to fall down on the ground by accident.
Sarah was startled to stand up hurriedly for it and yelled, "Snowy."
The maid also rushed to help, "Miss. Snowy..."
"Go out! All of you go out!"
Snowy came across the incident for the first time in her life! Definitely!
"Bitch, you are done!"
She was mad to get the empty cup and would hit on Emily's head with it.
Chapter 73: What Made She So Emboldened
No one expected that Snowy would be so cruel as to actually take such a hard crystal cup and smash it down on Emily's head.
If this cup did hit Emily on her head, it would definitely smash her head to pieces!
"Beware!" Sarah, who had already stood up and wanted to come over as a peacemaker, was shocked. She came over in a
panic and pushed Emily away.
The crystal cup then mercilessly landed on Sarah's shoulder. "Crack!" A dull sound rang, indicating that Sarah must be in pain!
Sarah twitched her eyebrows in pain instantly. But she gritted her teeth and didn't grunt.
"What's going on?" Finally, someone from the man's side came over.
It was the Grand Master as well as the father of several young masters of the Jackson family, Rupert Jackson.
"Nothing. I carelessly spilled the cup," Sarah immediately explained. And she also personally picked up the crystal cup from the ground.
As for how Sarah had stooped to compromise, Emily saw it all.
In her last life, she hadn't had much interaction with this grand lady.
Although she had been framed all the time, she, who was stupid, didn't even know who on earth the one that had trapped her was.
But she never expected that this apparently glamorous Grand Lady would be so aggrieved at home!
Now she had got a smashed shoulder and suffered an injury. And she had to pick up the cup on her own!
The maid crouched down in panic and helped her stand up.
Sarah still smiled, "It's just a misunderstanding..."
"It's not a misunderstanding!" Instead, Snowy, who had made a mistake, looked arrogant, "Daddy, it was Emily Gale who
splashed me with tea!"
Never did Emily ever think of trying to get any good impression in front of the Jackson family members.
Therefore, she wasn't afraid and said with a blank expression, "It was this Miss Jackson who started the trouble. And the
Grand Lady's clothes were also wet from the tea she had splashed all over me."
"Dad, I didn't intend to splash Aunt Sarah with tea. It is Emily Gale who sarcastically accused me of being deaf. And I was so angry that I... "
"Well, the Old Lady and the Old Master are both here. Besides, there is a house of guests. Do you want me to be disgraced?"
Rupert looked unhappy. Anyway, with people from the Second Master and the Third Master's side being here, he couldn't afford to be disgraced like this. Otherwise, how could he maintain his authority and majesty?
"Dad, it's not my fault. Could it be that I should endure being bullied instead of fighting back? Dad, you said that the Jackson
family must never be bullied by others!"
Snowy lifted her chin, who was with no intention of admitting her mistake at all.
Sarah immediately said, "It's no big deal. They're both just..."
"It's just that the juniors were making a bit of a scene. Why didn't you, an elder, stop them?" Rupert straightened up his face.
Sarah immediately said in a sincere manner, "Yes, it's all my fault. I'll keep an eye
on them. It's fine. You can go over there first. Don't keep Dad waiting."
Rupert snorted coldly and turned around.
Snowy sat back in her seat, Leered at Sarah, and didn't say anything.
She didn't care at all about the fact that she had hurt someone.
Even if Emily wanted to say something at this point, she couldn't speak at all.
She sort of figured out a fact that in Rupert's eyes, her legitimate wife, whom he had married into his house in an open and
correct manner, had no significance at all.
If she spoke at this time, she could only end up putting Sarah in a difficult situation.
For a lady from a rich family like Snowy, if she pampered herself in front of her father, she could get away with it.
While Sarah, on the other hand, would most likely be implicated by her.
She helped Sarah back to her seat. But Snowy smiled contemptuously at her, looking smug.
Snowy thought, "In the Jackson family, speaking of the women who married into this family, on the surface, they seem to have a high status, which is like where they are sitting now.
But in fact, these women who are not surnamed Jackson, surely can't be compared to those surnamed Jackson.
Didn't Emily just now think that she could do whatever she wanted simply because of the fact that she could sit next to Sarah?
She should see clearly now that even Sarah was nothing more than that and didn't hold any status in Dad's eyes.
She, Emily Gale, is one level lower than Sarah. Women like her surely can't do anything in my family."
Rosy couldn't be prouder. She suddenly smiled and said, "Oh my, Miss Gale, did you really buy off the signature bag of HARMADS today?"
Other than Emily, no one else knew what Rosy was trying to do by suddenly bringing up such a petty matter.
Emily pursed her lips. She had anticipated that this woman would definitely embarrass her in person.
But she just looked at her indifferently and didn't say anything.
Even the maids called her Young Madam. Instead of calling her Young Madam or Sister-in-law, Rosy was calling her Miss Gale, which was to remind everyone on the scene that her last name was not Jackson and she wasn't even a member of the Jackson family yet.
Rosy bit her lower lip, looking a bit aggrieved, "I originally wanted to have a look
at that bag as well. Of course, I dare not dream about the bag you take a fancy to.
I just wanted to look at it."
"But you let them kick me out. I didn't even get a chance to take a look at it. If you buy it off, will you let me take a look at it?"
"I don't have any other interests or hobbies. I just like all kinds of bags. Miss Gale,
can I take a look?"
"What did you say? Had she let someone kick you out of the store?" Snowy immediately went into a rage!
Tabby straightened up her face and looked unhappy, "How could a lady from the
Jackson family be thrown out of the store?
Which store is it? I will have it leveled immediately!"
Usually, she wasn't this nice to Rosy. But now that Rosy had been bullied by
Emily, which was a slap in the Jackson family's ladies' faces!
"It's not a big deal really. It's probably because of the fact that Vanessa and I were
talking at the time and Miss Gale disliked us for being too noisy that she kicked us
out."
Rosy acted like she was calming down the situation as she whispered, "It is a
family gathering tonight. Tabby, just forget what I said. Grandpa and Grandma are here."
She gently pulled Tabby's arm and put on a smile, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't
have brought this matter up for a glance at that signature bag."
"It's fine. It's just a misunderstanding."
How come it was a misunderstanding after she had been driven out of the store?
A girl from an ordinary family wouldn't be so low as to be treated like this, let alone
a lady from the Jackson family.
This Emily Gale was just too abominable!
Chapter 74: How Could You Be So Domineering?
Emily lifted the cup up and took a shallow taste of the fragrant tea.
While being gazed by so many people, yet Emily didn't seem even a little bit uncomfortable.
"Emily Gale, what exactly do you mean?" Snowy was always the most impatient one.
Snowy thought, "So many people are waiting for her explanation. And how come she doesn't even take it seriously?"
"There's no point. Do I have to explain in the face of lies?"
Emily put down the cup, hooked her lips, and smiled, "Shouldn't the one who brings out a charge need to present relative evidence as well these days? If she said that I had kicked her out, she would have to show the proof."
"Otherwise, I'll have to explain every time if someone comes to make a slanderous remark against me. I surely don't have so much time."
What Emily had said was reasonable. However, did she mean that Rosy had slandered her by saying so?
Rosy, however, did not get angry and just whispered, "It's not like that at all. It's me who didn't want to hinder Miss Gale from appreciating the bag. That's why I dared not try on the shoes and hurriedly walked out."
She looked at Emily with a smile, looking somewhat uneasy and fearful.
"I'm sorry, Miss Gale. It's all a misunderstanding. And it's my fault.'
"Rosy! You've been bullied and you are admitting that you were wrong! Since when had the children from the Jackson family been bullied like this?"
It was so infuriating to the extreme! How could Rosy Jackson endure it?
"Emily Gale, I want you to apologize to Rosy!"
But Emily shrugged, "I didn't do anything wrong. So why should I apologize?"
Moreover, she took out her phone, tapped the recording button, and placed it on the table.
As she fixed her indifferent gaze on Rosy, suddenly, the look in her eyes was cold.
"Come on. Tell me exactly what I did to you at that time. I'm a person who always deals with things truthfully. Since you said that I had bullied you, you'd better make your words clear.
"Now I'll record what we will say. When the time comes, the police will investigate it. If what you said is a lie, then you probably can't escape from the slander charge."
"Emily Gale, how dare you threaten me?" The look on Tabby's face went dark. She thought that Emily had crossed the line.
Sarah also felt that there was no need for them to make such a big scene.
She hurriedly whispered, "Emily, it's just a small matter. There's no need..."
"No, Aunt Sarah, I think it's quite necessary"
This time, Emily didn't compromise at all as she said, "Go ahead. When you're done, I'll see you at the police station."
Rosy didn't expect that Emily could be so tough.
She thought, "All the people here are all surnamed Jackson. How come, Emily Gale, an outsider, has the guts to do this?"
"Could it be that she wouldn't care about the fact that the members from the Jackson family might murder her in the future?"
"Well? How come you dare not say anything? How did I have you kicked out of the store? You're going to make the details clear."
Emily pushed the phone back in Rosy's direction, smiling shallowly, "I'm waiting."
Several tables of ladies, who sat on the surrounding tables, fixed their gazes on Rosy.
The Second Lady wanted to come over and stand up for her daughter, only to be persuaded back by the maids around her.
The children had to settle the quarrel between themselves. It was a family gathering tonight. If they did make a big scene, regardless of who was in the right
or wrong, the elders who were involved would have to be blamed.
The situation just now was just like this with the Grand Lady, Sarah. When the Grand Master came over here, he first put the blame on Sarah without asking for the details first.
As the second madam looked at her daughter's aggrieved appearance, she couldn't be more painful.
But, the maid convinced her to go back.
She simply dared not make a spectacle of herself at such a big party.
Rosy didn't expect Emily to be so difficult to handle. She indeed found Emily's reckless and fearless appearance a headache!
"I, told you all. It was just a misunderstanding, I... "
"No, that's not what you just said." Emily sneered.
"Emily, you've had enough! Did you have to force her?" Tabby pulled Rosy onto herself.
"Do you have to bully others like that?"
Rosy immediately hid behind her and dared not grunt anymore. Anyway, someone was standing up for her now.
Emily, however, leaned on the back of the chair and looked askance at her figure with a seemingly smile on her face.
"What would you do if you were defiled, Fourth Lady? I'm afraid that you probably will do a more desperate job than me."
"Besides, as long as she's telling the truth, what does she have to be afraid of even at the police station? There's surveillance in the store. I can't cover up everything with one hand. Anyway, I am not capable of doing that yet." Everyone now looked at Rosy.
Emily's words did make sense. Even if Rosy wasn't a legitimate lady, she didn't have to be afraid of Emily to such an extent.
If she had been indeed bullied, she would just feel free to tell them the details.
Emily was just a young lady who hadn't married into the family yet. Moreover, the Gale family was a minor family. Rosy didn't have to be afraid of anything.
But Rosy dared not say it. Could it be that she did have slandered Emily?
"Rosy, as for what she did to you then, just tell us the details straight. We're here. What are you afraid of?"
"I... I was... at that time... " Rosy was still hiding behind Tabby and dared not say anything.
Of course Rosy dared not say anything! Anyway, Vanessa had done nothing but said a few words previously. In the end, she was directly involved in a lawsuit.
Now, Rosy dared not say anything untrue. Anyway, the bitch, Emily, was still recording her!
If Emily handed the recording to Liam White, Liam White would do something right away. And Rosy probably would have to take a lawsuit.
People by the side of Young Master Hunter dared to do anything they wanted.
With Vanessa being a forewarning, Rosy surely dared not say anything at all.
The reason why she had dared to say it was that she had assumed that Emily
wouldn't dare to compete with her seriously in
front of so many ladies from the Jackson family.
Now, Emily just wanted to be more serious with Rosy, making her lose her
courage.
"It seems that she dares not lie now."
Emily picked up the phone and smiled shallowly, "I hate this kind of woman who
talks irresponsibly. She's simply more disgusting than a fly."
Even Tabby and Snowy couldn't refute this statement.
They weren't afraid of Emily. But, Rosy dared not say a single word, which
everyone could see clearly.
Rosy was actually spreading rumors. And they had trusted her so much just now.
"Hmph!" Tabby grunted coldly and pushed Rosy away behind her.
"There are some vacancies at the Second Auntie's side. Go over there."
The status among the ladies from the Jackson family was actually even higher
than that of Sarah. Now that Tabby had let Rosy go, Rosy surely dared not stay
here.
Rosy could only stare at Emily fiercely. After that, with tears in the corner of her eyes, she pitifully left her position and walked
over to the next table where the Second Lady was sitting.
She was indeed kicked out amid everyone's gaze and surely was grievous.
But, she dared not say a single word to Tabby. Nor did she have the guts or qualifications to do so.
But she made up her mind that for the grievance that Emily had caused her today,
she would never forget it!
She surely would have her revenge on Emily!
After Rosy left, Tabby sat back in her chair, looking gloomy constantly.
Originally, Snowy wanted to pick faults with Emily. But, all of a sudden, it seemed that she didn't know how she should start.
It was all because of that fool named Rosy that Emily had won one round. But the
next game hadn't even started yet.
For a while, the atmosphere seemed a bit stiff.
The maids began to have the dishes served one by one. And soon, the table was
full of food.
But Snowy suddenly looked at Emily and smiled, "Miss Gale, I heard that the business of the Gale family has been a bit
uneventful lately. So I'm afraid your family hasn't had such good food for a long
time, right?"
What Snowy had said didn't take Emily's feelings into consideration at all.
She pointed at one of the dishes and said, "Send the onion snail over to Miss
Gale and ask her to taste it. Speaking of these kinds of snails, you can't eat them
outside. A plate of onion snails probably is equal to the turnover of the whole day at Gale Group, right?"
"But," she turned back again and looked at Emily with a seeming smile, "Miss
Gale, do you know how to eat this kind of thing?"
Chapter 75: Making Compromise Wouldn't Make Others Pity Her
Of course, the statement that a plate of onion snails was worth a whole day's turnover for a company was certainly overstated.
However, the onion snails are not ordinary snails but a kind of rare snail from the deep sea.
Moreover, it was made out of a unique process where the meat of the snail was dug out as a whole and the bad parts were removed and the frozen snail meat was mixed with top quality caviar.
At the same time, the shell of the onion snail was cleaned cleanly with a special spoon. And then a layer of golden sea urchin would be placed inside the shell.
Then, with very small tongs, the snails were fed back into the shells with the caviar which was mixed with frozen snail meat.
Finally, the snails would be baked in the oven for ten seconds.
No more, no less. The snails should be baked for just ten seconds.
Then hot and fragrant onion snails would be ready.
With just a plate of onion snails, its material cost was second to none, which would cost ten thousand dollars at most.
But, its labor cost was the most terrible thing!
To ensure the snails' freshness and taste, the time to get it ready had to be kept within certain limits.
And it would require a large number of servants to get it done together, at least a few dozen.
An ordinary family surely didn't have dozens of servants. Only the super big ones like the Jackson family could have that
many servants.
While the Gale family didn't even have the slightest capability!
Therefore, speaking of the daughter raised by the Gale family, she probably had never eaten any onion snails in her life.
The maid brought the onion snail to Emily's plate. And all those people around her stopped, stared at Emily one by one, and
were ready for a good show.
It was true that the Gale family wasn't a big family. And Emily Gale wasn't a lady from a rich family. Would she know how to
eat onion snails?
Even if it were them, the ladies from the Jackson family could only have a chance
to enjoy onion snails at the Jackson family's
family gathering party.
On usual days, they dared not think of enjoying onion snails.
Emily Gale probably would make a fool of herself this time.
Emily looked at the onion snails that the maid had sent over. With no special expression on her face, she turned back and
took a pair of gloves from the hands of the maid who was standing behind her.
She put on the gloves, picked up a special thin fork on the side, and pointed at the head of the onion snails as she stuck the fork in.
After that, she picked up a small specialized hammer on the side and tapped it on the shell of the onion snail.
The shell fell in two on the plate. And the onion snail with caviar and golden sea urchin, which was roasted to a golden brown
color, presented its whole meat in front of everyone.
It was not yet finished. Emily forked the snail meat and dipped it on top of the excellent caviar on the side before delivering it
to her mouth.
She chewed and swallowed the meat slowly, enjoying it to the fullest! The snail couldn't be more delicious.
"She actually knows how to eat it! I can't believe that she's eating it!"
"How could a poor sap know how to eat the onion snail?"
Snowy was overwhelmingly unwilling to believe what she had seen. Anyway, it
was difficult to eat onion snails even in a restaurant outside.
People had to book onion snails in advance in a restaurant. After all, the manual process for cooking onion snails was simply
too complicated!
Emily surely couldn't have enjoyed onion snails in a restaurant outside. She couldn't even afford it!
The eldest brother wasn't very particular about food. He wouldn't order such complicated dishes out there. And he wouldn't
take Emily to eat onion snails outside.
"Why does Emily know how to eat onion snails?"
For a moment, the crowd was startled and completely confused.
"What happened? What's the problem?" Emily blinked, looking innocent.
After deliberation, she suddenly remembered something as she smiled, "Is it because I didn't use mustard? But the onion
snail really shouldn't be covered in mustard, which will damage its original sweet taste."
She took off her gloves. And the maid immediately came over to take them back.
Seeing that no one was talking, Emily ignored them, lifted her cup, and looked at Sarah.
"Eldest Lady, you are an elder. I will toast you first."
Only then did Sarah come to her senses. And she immediately lifted her cup and clinked it with her.
While others successively put away their shock and focused on the table manner.
It turned out that Emily even knew how to enjoy the onion snails. It seemed that it
was really not easy to see this future young
lady of the Jackson family make a fool of herself.
Emily lifted the cup and took a shallow taste. As she looked at the dishes on the
table, the smile at the corner of her lips gradually deepened.
No one knew that she had already lived in the Jackson family for several years in
her last life.
She surely had seen and enjoyed various good things before.
Snowy Jackson, who was a little brat, was obviously a year older than her. But
she was as childish as hell.
"I heard that Gale Group has been having a hard time lately. The company is in the red. And they have to sell her daughter off to keep the business ongoing."
Snowy also lifted her glass of wine and didn't take a single sip. And her disdainful gaze drifted over Emily's ugly face.
Only a lady of the Jackson family could say such outrageous words.
An ordinary person would dare not say it. After all, it sounded indeed too rude.
But, a lady from the Jackson family had always been at such a high and mighty. No one would accuse her if she was rude.
Even Sarah, the Eldest Lady, dared not do anything in front of them. And others would just watch the fun.
Emily looked at Snowy. Upon hearing such provocative words, she didn't get angry. Instead, she hooked her lips and smiled.
"Miss Snowy, you seem to be likely convinced by the hearsay. Don't you know a saying that what you hear about may be
true? No wonder that you will be tricked by people with ulterior motives at every turn."
Of course, Emily was referring to Rosy just now as someone with ulterior motives.
"You..." Snowy wanted to attack her.
But Emily put away her smile and said indifferently, "Miss Snowy, you might as
well wait until Gale's is at its end. Then you can care about me, which is not too late yet."
"As for those hearsays, Miss Snowy, it's better for you not to believe them easily. Otherwise, others will think that ladies from
the Jackson family don't even have a sense and will believe whatever they hear."
"Emily Gale, you want to die, don't you?" Once again, Snowy couldn't help but stand up and pick up the wine glass.
"I'm going to make a toast to Grandma. Miss Snowy, do you want to join me?"
This time, Emily stood up as well and looked at her askance, "If you splash me
with wine this time, I will not dodge away. But, I will still proceed to drink a toast to Grandma."
"You..." Snowy was so angry that she was holding the wine cup with her fingertips
trembling.
