Jane Sampson was sowhat surprised when she entered and saw everyone sitting in the living room waiting for her; by the looks of it, they hadn’t started the al yet.
"Sis is back," Bright Sampton stood up as soon as he heard the door open, then rubbed his belly with a smile, "Sister, you’re finally back, if you didn’t co back soon, your little brother would have starved to death."
"Mom said earlier that Jane would get stuck halfway and told us all to eat first. It was you who insisted on waiting for her, and you’re the one who’s been complaining about being hungry," Julie Sampton said with an unpleasant expression on her face as she followed Mother Sampton to the dining hall.
Jane Sampson put down her purse, and Bright Sampton deliberately lagged a step behind the other two, muttering behind Jane, "Sister, don’t listen to her weird tone. It was her who asked Mom to call you back. Seems like she has sothing for you. Why else would she call you back for lunch just at that ti? If she really just wanted you to co back for a simple al, wouldn’t she have called you earlier?"
Bright Sampton, seeing Julie who had suddenly turned to glance back at him, pretended not to notice her glare and continued to whisper in Jane’s ear, "It was her who insisted on having you co back abruptly for lunch, and she was the one who didn’t want to wait for you at alti. Don’t you think she’s a bit sick? Selfish and self-centered, acting as if everyone in the world owes her a hundred million."
Jane Sampson raised her hand and tousled Bright Sampton’s hair; it seed he had just woken up, not even having combed his hair. With a press of her palm, she flattened his already ssy hair even more.
"By the way, is Dad not at ho?" Jane Sampson asked, recalling that she had seen Father Sampton’s car in the garage, "Did he go on a business trip?"
"Yeah, he went on a business trip to the southland for a few days; he left early this morning."
Jane Sampson pursed her lips, knowing that Julie would choose a ti when their father was away to specially call her ho.
And Jane had a hunch about what it might be about.
Last night, after she signed the Stock Right Agreent, Jas Black said a few words, and Julie probably beca a bit anxious, right?
After all, Julie had been eyeing what originally belonged to her for a long ti now, and in her own words, she was eagerly waiting to reclaim what was hers.
Jane Sampson didn’t intend to cling to the shares; that’s why she agreed to co over for a visit at noon when she got the call.
As soon as they sat down at the dinner table, Julie asked Bright Sampton, "What were you two whispering about behind our backs?"
"If I told you about the secret talk between my sister and , it wouldn’t be a secret anymore," Bright Sampton replied with a chuckle, too lazy even to co up with another excuse.
Julie’s expression paused slightly; her displeasure was evident on her face, because of Bright Sampton, and also because of Jane Sampson.
Bright Sampton had always called her "Julie sis," but he always referred to Jane with the affectionate term "sis." Bright Sampton would act spoiled and playfully close with Jane but with her, it always seed to stay at a polite surface level.
No, it was even lacking in politeness.
Between her and Jane Sampson, Bright Sampton had always clearly shown favoritism towards Jane.
The als had been kept warm in the kitchen, waiting for Jane Sampson, and so as they sat at the table, the nanny brought the dishes out. Mother Sampton served so soup for Julie first, then gave Bright Sampton his favorite chicken wing, and lastly served Jane her al before starting to chat with her.
"Jane, I rember Ms. Little is quite close to you, right? Did you know Ms. Little recently won an international award?" Mother Sampton asked.
"Oh, really? I hadn’t been following," Jane Sampson replied, although she knew very well. Ms. Little, ntioned by her mother, was a piano master and a WhatsAPP friend of Jane. They often interacted on WhatsAPP, and Jane had personally called to congratulate her when Ms. Little won the award.
Jane didn’t admit it was rely because she felt it unlikely that Mother Sampton would suddenly take an interest in her social life and personal affairs without a reason.
