Rise of the returned sister (by Isla) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

In the campsite, Emily was seething with rage at Janic.

But she’d kind of achieved her own goal,

After all, Janie’s act of treating people differently was bound to rile up a whole bunch of folks once the show aired.

Then Emily could claim the moral high ground.

A vicious glint flashed in Emily’s eyes.

A malicious glint flashed in Emily’s eyes as she kept yapping, “You this…”

Janie frowned in annoyance.

All of a sudden, Emily felt wretched all over, like bugs were nibbling at her whole body.

She struggled to hold it together so as not to lose her composure.

Her expression was clearly off, but nobody gave a damn.

Molly, who hadn’t gone far, caught sight of Emily and stepped forward, asking, “Are you okay, Ms. Yates?”

Emily rubbed her forehead and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

But she felt all stiff.

Out of the blue, Emily thought in horror, “Am I possessed?”

Remembering the previous affairs of the Jenkins family and Janie, Emily was certain of her hunch.

I’ve been affected by their evil magic,’ she thought.

Then she took off running like a madwoman.

People stared at her like she was crazy.

David was puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong with Ms. Yates?”

Janie said casually, “Maybe she’s suddenly repenting for her sins? Maybe she feels guilty in front of such an innocent and kind–hearted me.”

David and Molly just fell silent.

After a short while, Molly smiled and said, “Miss Janie, you’re so humorous.”

Janie smiled back and said, “Well, sort of.”

Jackson, who’d just set up the tent, came over.

“Little Janie, have you picked out the ingredients yet? You go take a rest, and I’ll grill them.”

Janie replied obediently, “Then I’ll just keep you company right here.”

Jackson chuckled and said, “Sure.”

Molly hesitated to speak, but Janie spoke up for her, “Molly wants to borrow some money. It’s up to you.”

Jackson said, “I’ll go with whatever you say.”

Janie nodded and said to Molly, “We’ve agreed. How much were you looking to borrow?”

Molly beamed and said, “Thank you! Please lend me five dozen.”

David cut in, “Lending five dozen is a bit much for a team. I’ll cover half of it.”

Molly thought it made sense and gratefully agreed.

Jackson said, “Little Janie, just sit right here. I’ll take care of everything.”

Janie smiled and replied, “Okay. I’ve already prepared the barbecue sauce.”

Jackson grinned and said, “You’re such a good kid.”

Janie felt like she was being coddled like a little child.

David and Molly were also barbecuing not too far away, and they were really tied up with all the work.

Only Jason and Emily were watching them with envy in their

Penniless Emily finally chose to have the cheapest lettuce with Jason, who only had one dozen. As for the tent? Well, she just let it go and didn’t want to think about it anymore.

Ryan and Zion were pretty disgruntled with the smug Jackson, so they asked Xena to take a seat and were determined to give her the best treatment, just like taking care of a kid.

The Jenkins brothers had studied the recipes before setting off, just so as not to fall behind Jackson.

Xena, who didn’t have to do anything, was in a sullen mood though.

She wasn’t sure whether her brothers were really busy for her sake or actually to show off in front of Janie.

She puckered her lips and said, “I’ll just take a casual walk around.”

But as soon as Xena walked a little farther away, she was pestered by Jason and Emily.

Jason put on his gentlemanly act and said, “Little Xena, it’s okay for me, but we can’t let Ms. Yates sleep on the grass, can we? Could you let her share your tent?”

Xena wasn’t too happy about it, but she agreed anyway.

Jason looked at Xena’s eyes obsequiously, as if he was waiting for something.

He was waiting for Xena to rent a tent for him as well. However, Xena didn’t have that intention at all.

Emily was delighted to hear that she’d have a tent to sleep in that night, but she was still thinking about borrowing money from Xena.

She affectionately took Xena’s arm and said, “It’s all my fault. I was so caught up in chatting with you before that I forgot to make money, and now I don’t even have money for meals.”
