Trial Of Love Chapter 138 - Dotes Me Or Fears Me

"Liz, when will you let everyone know who you are?" Jackie asked, whilst she took a sip of her milk tea.

Elizabeth ponders for a moment before answering Jackie's question and could only ask her back, "Why?"

"Well, the main reason why you hide your ident.i.ty was because you want someone to love you for you, but your plan doesn't seem to be working…" Jackie directly answered her knowing it will surely hurt her.

Thinking about it now Elizabeth realizes everything hasn't worked out for her at all. Since she came to China all she'd experience was people bullying her and threatening her life. At the same time, the person she likes seems to like someone else already as well.

"Honestly, I thought about that every day. Why not just be opened of who I am, people will surely treat me well, but the person I like won't like me back, anyway. If we ever end up together, it's purely because he was either forced by his parents or for business reasons." She bluntly said seeing there was no point in hiding things from Jackie.

"I want to experience the love my parent's experience. My mom kept her ident.i.ty too, but she was always lucky back then. As you know, my mom was a famous musician when she was young, but pursues being an actress and model when she reaches high school."

"The first time my father gazed upon my mother was when she was 17 modeling for a French fas.h.i.+on show. He decided then to only love her and he even devoted his life to her. He left England for mother and start establis.h.i.+ng businesses in China just to be with her."

"Jackie, I'm known as the Young Princess despite clearly I am not a Princess (Technically, she is since her grandmother is a princess). Just because of my family background everyone either dotes me or fears me. Unlike in England, most n.o.ble people aren't arrogant about who they are and kept to themselves. Also, since most of them know who I am, plus they've become part of my achievement, which is the reason why they like me for me."

"But here, everyone only likes me because they see an opportunity to grow their business. To gain connection, in their eyes, I'm just a bridge to my father. No one really wants me, they want my father money or the connection my mother has. For them, I am the golden opportunity."

After listening to the girl's explanation, Jackie jump behind her and flung one of her arms around the girl. "I know, but don't worry. I'm always here for you. We've been together for 15 years, so I know how you feel."

They weren't close friends before. The two actually meet at a piano compet.i.tion back in the state. Elizabeth, of course, beat Jackie with upset Jackie badly. Back then Jackie was prideful and arrogant because of her family background. But one word from Elizabeth silence her, "Who are you?" Just those words made Jackie realize she wants to be friends with her.

"But I just want to remind you, even if they think of you that way, me and your family will always love you for you. That's why I don't like seeing you getting bullied just because they don't know who you are. My heart aches to see you so weak, what if something did happen last night? Do you think your parents will let things off so easily? Do you think Grandpa Zhao and Uncle Zhao will let those old geezers live?"

Of course, Elizabeth knew the answers to all those questions Jackie was throwing at her. She felt bad realizing how much pain she must actually have put her family in, yet they continued to support her from behind.

"I know…"

'You don't know how much I worried that my father will find out. That fact, he was so upset during the Yun's party, what more if he knew about what happened last night...'

"Babes, you're a genius for goodness sake. But why do you continue to let people bully you? Also, I know you already confirmed it twice, but let me ask you this..." Jackie grab hold of the girl as they stop walking for a moment, "What if Young Master Shen does love you, what then? Will you tell him who you are?"

Elizabeth chuckled after hearing Jackie's ridiculous question which such serious expression, "Jackie I've already thought of that before. If he is willing to put a ring on my fingers before knowing who I am. Of course, I will not just tell him who I am but I'm not sure how I'll do it."

"Babes, but how about his daughter?" She asked.

"I love Little Yan and have accepted her already. My family seems to be fine with her as well. She won't have any problem in my family, if the Yuns will push her to be the heir to my family wealth as you know I won't let them use her in that way." Elizabeth answered.

Jackie saw the determination in the girl's eyes, she grabbed a hold of her hands and started running, "Babes, let's stop this already. Let's have fun tonight... We haven't visited a bar for a long time. Let's go back to our University days."

The girl could only agree to the girl's demands after seeing her beaming such excitement, "Fine, let's go home and get changed."

When they arrived home, the household servants were surprised to see the two girls running upstairs covered in smile and endless laughter.

"What do you think happened today that the Young Miss and Miss Jackie seem to be so happy."

"Well, whatever happen I'm glad the Young Miss is smiling again. She's been so down and gloomy later."

"The Masters aren't home lately as well. Luckily, Miss Jackie is around to accompany the Young Miss."

Jackie and Elizabeth quickly went into the girl's walk-in. As they started looking for their outfit for the night.
