Free Web NovelChapter 2224: Chapter 2224: Young Love Is So Sweet (137)
Laura Jones just smiled without speaking; the Emma Williams in front of her was much more amusing than the aloof image she showed others.
The more she interacted with Emma, the more she realized she was just a ridiculous clown jumping around, and she couldn’t even bother to compete with her.
However, Hannah Taylor, listening to Emma’s sarcastic remarks, felt a surge of disgust and said directly:
"Seriously, you’re from a prestigious university. Is it really that amusing to speak so sarcastically all the time?"
Emma: "..."
Her expression twisted for a moment.
If it weren’t for the fact that the person standing opposite was the eldest daughter of the Taylor Family, William Wilson’s younger cousin, she would have wanted to tear this little brat’s mouth apart.
"Besides, you said it yourself, Laura is my friend, and you’re just my classmate. How can you compare a friend to a classmate? It’s embarrassing."
Hannah Taylor had no patience for fake politeness with the sarcastic Emma Williams.
After confronting Emma, she turned to a young girl beside her who hadn’t had a chance to speak because of Emma and said:
"Are you here to pick her up?"
She pointed to Laura Jones next to her and asked.
The young assistant had received a photo of Laura Jones in advance when she was supposed to pick her up.
Laura Jones was so stunningly beautiful that she stood out even among the top-tier female stars.
She had strikingly good looks that were both attractive and recognizable, so the young assistant could easily recognize her.
"Yes, the chief screenwriter asked me to pick up Screenwriter Jones."
The young girl, who happened to be a fan of Laura Jones’ books, had eyes that were gleaming as she saw her in person.
But at that moment, Emma’s face changed dramatically.
Her previously sarcastic expression now turned to sheer shock.
"What did you say? Who is she?"
In Emma’s mind, it felt like she had been stabbed countless times.
"This is our chief screenwriter, the original author of ’Seeking the Marquis’, ’Laura’s Heart’. "
As a fan of the original work, the young assistant introduced Laura Jones with pride, standing a little straighter, looking honored.
Emma was stunned for a long while, slowly coming to terms with the reality from the shock.
Remembering how bragging she was in front of Laura Jones just now, and how Laura was just smiling silently, she must have been watching her make a fool of herself, right?
It even got her a scolding from Hannah Taylor without mercy.
Laura must have been secretly pleased.
Emma glared fiercely at Laura Jones, unwilling to believe that Laura was actually ’Laura’s Heart’.
Because William Wilson and Sophie Greenwood, an emperor and a queen, had acted in an obscure drama, their fans flocked to read the book ’Seeking the Marquis’.
As a character like the unattainable crush, Emma naturally had read it, too.
Despite her distaste for Laura Jones, she couldn’t deny that the writing style and finesse of ’Seeking the Marquis’ was indeed worthy of a top-tier screenwriter.
The drama itself did justice to the two main actors.
Still, no one expected it didn’t come from the hands of a renowned screenwriter, making it quite surprising.
When she read it, Emma thought the author of ’Seeking the Marquis’ must be at least in their fifties or sixties to write such a script.
But she never imagined it would be a girl of similar age to herself.
Moreover, a girl she always thought inferior in every way, whom she looked down upon deeply.
Emma felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.
If it had been a more accomplished girl, it would have been acceptable, but it turned out to be the very person she endlessly despised, Laura Jones.
She clenched her fists tightly, trying not to let the jealousy that was rising in her eyes show.
