The principal wiped off his sweat. She is so reckless. If she really gets arrested, her future will be ruined.
Less than ten minutes later, police sirens were heard outside the principal’s office. Emily walked out and motioned to the police officers. “Officer, here. The person who hit me is inside.”
“Miss Jackson, we received a report that you intentionally harmed another student. Please come with us.” As he said that, several people started to take her away.
“Don’t touch me!” Janet yelled. Her piercing gaze brushed past them and startled them, making them take a step back.
…
Inside a dressing room, Walter was getting his makeup done by a makeup artist for his next scene. Just then, the phone on the table started to ring and the assistant promptly picked it up.
When the call ended shortly after, the assistant came over and whispered into Walter’s ear, “That was Gordon on the phone. He said someone called Jan-something Jackson was taken away by the police! He can’t excuse himself right now, so he wants you to go see her in his place.”
Walter stood up immediately. “The police?” Why did Janet get taken away by the police?
“Tell the director that we will film this scene tomorrow,” he instructed then left the dressing room with his makeup still incomplete.
…
Mason had returned to the Lowry Residence after having tenaciously finished an eight-hour workload in just four hours. However, he was only met with an empty and lifeless villa with no trace of Janet anywhere. He shot a glance at Sean. “Why hasn’t she come home yet?”
Sean looked up. “Let me check.” Less than a minute later, Sean came rushing to the study. “Young Master Mason, Miss Jackson is at the police station.”
“Police station?” Those words brought him to his feet. “Let’s go.”
…
Megan made it to the police station on River Avenue in Sandfort City with haste. The moment she walked in, she spotted a swollen-faced Emily. Pain and anger began to rise within her. “Oh my goodness! How did this happen?” Fortunately, she did not injure her hands. Otherwise, it would have been the end for her as she would never be able to play the piano again.
Emily was on the brink of tears as she looked at her mother. Burying herself in Megan’s arms, she cried, “Mom, I don’t know why Janet hit me.”
“Janet, what on earth happened?” Megan looked at Janet in shock. It had not been easy for the Jackson Family to restore their joyous and harmonious image. Why did something like this have to happen?
“She bullied my friend,” Janet said bluntly, not even sparing them a glance.
Lilian, who was standing at the side, looked at them in astonishment. So Janet and Emily are sisters… but why is there so much distance between them? Since Emily did not bring it up, she figured that they just happened to have the same last name. Now she understood why Janet was always against Emily—it was out of jealousy.
“What did she do to your friend? Even so, does that justify beating up your sister to this extent?” Megan was exasperated.
When she received Emily’s call earlier, she assumed it was just a small bicker between the sisters. Only after seeing Emily’s swollen face now did she realize the magnitude of the problem.
“Ask her yourself.” Janet shot a sidelong glance at Megan.
Megan then looked at Emily who was stammering. “I-I…”
At that moment, the commanding officer of the station walked out and looked at them briefly.
“Are you all a family?” he questioned with a blank expression on his face.
Megan nodded. “Yes. I didn’t think their fight would bring us to the police station,” she admitted in slight embarrassment.
The commanding officer seemed annoyed. “That’s a family matter. Go home and resolve this yourselves. Don’t waste police resources.”
Upon hearing that, Janet smirked. However, Emily called out the commanding officer in a rage. “You can’t help us if it’s a family matter? Even when she beat my face up like this?”
