Chapter 125 - My Dearest Jackie

The next day news about the Young Princess gone fishing with the aristocratic families was all over the news. Of course, they weren't able to find out who she was still since she wore sunglasses and was surrounded by everyone all the time. Plus, there were a lot of guards since the people gathered weren't just any ordinary people. They were the leaders of the country so reporters kept their distance from them.

"Is it just me of the Young Princess is so sweet, she was so sweet in taking care of the President's grandchild."

"Being brought up in a noble family by Lady Zhao and Lord Knightley, of course, the Young Princess is well mannered and caring towards others."

...

Back in the set, everyone was taking a quick break when a delivery man arrived with a large present.

Everyone was so curious about what it was and went to check it out. Of course, they weren't surprised that the present was for Li Zi. As she signed for the present and was about to open it. They were all startled when a woman pops out of the present.

It was a foreign ginger-haired woman; she wore a loose cream jumper paired with ripped jeans and a 3-inch black boot-heels.

"Surprise!"

The girl was indeed surprised; she did not expect it at all. "Jackie, you're here?" (The girl spoke in fluent English)

"Of course, I came to surprise you, Babes, are you happy?" Jackie replied (Speaking in English as well)

Everyone around them looked confused about what they were talking about. As they tried to piece the words together to understand what they were talking about.

Jackie notices the attire the girl was wearing and could not help it but praise it, "Bl**dy hell, Babes your customer is amazing. But aren't you boiling hot?"

"I am but it's fine…" She replied and notice everyone seems to be confused. "Stop speaking in English"

"Oh, sorry…" Jackie replied, with made everyone smile for they finally understood what they were talking about.

Elizabeth then grabs Jackie's arms as she pulled her closer to her as she introduced her to everyone.

"Everyone, this is Jackie. The person on the phone last time."

Everyone was elated to finally meet Jackie, they each introduce themselves.

"Come, Jackie, I'll introduce you to the rest of the cast and the director."

She brought the girl inside the set and introduced her to everyone. They were all interested in Jackie since she looked unique especially her flaming red hair. She was really tall and almost as tall as Huang Ming.

"Wow, Li Zi... Your friend is really tall is she a model?" Director Ge looked surprised to see how tall the woman was.

"Oh, hell no Director Ge, me a model... Haha, maybe in the next life. I'm a lawyer." Jackie answered continuously laughing by what Director Ge referred her to. 

"A lawyer."

"Wow, Li Zi sure has awesome friends."

Everyone was really intrigued to know about Jackie. She was amongst the elite, but was not arrogant and proud like other heiresses.

...

Since Jackie arrived, Director Ge decided to not end late. So everyone was able to head home early.

Elizabeth went with Jackie to her hotel, they went to grab her things as they went to Imperial Garden Plaza.

As they headed inside the house, waiting for them in the foyer was the old man.

Jackie rushed as she jumped into the old man's arms, "Grandpa Zhao, I miss you..."

Elder Chief Zhao was pleased to see the girl again. She was Elizabeth's best friend and they grew up together as well. "My dearest Jackie, how have you been? You're as tall as me now."

"I'm good Grandpa Zhao, thank you for letting me stay here." She giggled as she answered the old man's concern, "Yeah, my brothers are taller than me."

Elder Chief Zhao laughed hearing such news, "I see your brothers are doing well. You are always welcome to stay here child, how about you two freshen up so we can eat."

The two of them did as to what Elder Chief Zhao asked, they went upstairs and freshen up for dinner.

...

After dinner, they both headed to Elizabeth's room to bond.

Jackie looked at the girl who was staring eagerly at the movie they were watching, "So, how are you?"

The girl continued to watch the movie, but her expression was not in sync with what she was watching, but to Jackie's question, "I'm fine, I was wrong..."

Jackie quickly embraces her. "Liz, you're never wrong, they just don't realize what's in front of them."

Elizabeth pushed Jackie aside as she smiled, "I'm fine."

"Anyways, what was he like? Was he better than you know who?" Jackie asked as she started devouring the popcorn.

She couldn't help it but smile thinking about the guy. "He was..." She smiled and added, "He made me feel even better than before. He showed me something I really want for the first time. Despite who he was I didn't care, I like everything about him."

Jackie patted Elizabeth's hand, "You must really like him then?"

"I do, I think… I'm not sure? I've studied people, yet I can't figure him out at all. I feel such a failure…" Elizabeth sighed for not understanding her own feelings.

"Babe, love is something that can't easily be studied nor explained anyways. No worries, I'll be here to comfort you for the whole summer." She replied

...

As the night deepens, Elizabeth woke up and notice Jackie fast asleep. She went to her walk-in closet and sat down by her dresser and opened a small box. Inside was the necklace given to her by Yun Shen. She closed the box and opened one of the drawers in the dresser and hid the necklace away.

"It's best if I hide all the memories of you..."

Jackie was standing by the door and overheard what the girl said, she dare not walk in and watch as the girl flood the room in tears. Her heart ached to see the girl so broken and in pain.

"Babes, be strong! I know you can overcome this. I'm here for you..." She then quickly went to grab her phone and send a message to someone.

...

Meanwhile, in England, a man was in the middle of a meeting and noticed his phone vibrate and a message pop up. He ignored everyone as he read the message...

[Jackie: Uncle, you're right... She really is in love with him, but she doesn't realize it. But don't worry, I'll take care of her. Rest assure Uncle, nothing will happen to Lizzy.]

[Uncle Knightley: Thank you.]
