Girls with a bit of scheming like this are suitable to be daughters-in-law in wealthy families, but only suitable for outward appearances.

If they start calculating against their own people, it’s not something she’d prefer.

In just half a day, she’s already raised herself above Laura Jones intentionally or unintentionally, more than once.

"I’m just giving Laura a suggestion,"

Emma Williams said stiffly, explaining with a frozen smile.

Hannah Taylor was about to say something, but Laura Jones held her back.

"My mom doesn’t play cards either. At home, I usually just accompany her to exercise, and occasionally go horseback riding."

Emma’s expression froze instantly, she didn’t expect this.

In her knowledge, horseback riding isn’t a sport ordinary families can afford to indulge in.

Emma’s family is considered wealthy, but to say they can afford horseback riding is just barely making it.

Yet listening to Laura’s casual tone, it’s like a daily routine.

Especially for her mom at her age, if she’s into horseback riding, it indicates it’s a long-term hobby.

Emma’s subjective impression was that Laura is just a child from a typical salaried family.

Women of this age either play Poker for leisure or don’t even play it, leading unimaginably dull lives.

But she didn’t expect Laura to give such an answer.

Either Laura was being truthful, or she was just pretentious.

Emma instinctually chose the latter.

How could someone who never even had Western cuisine be a child from high society?

Emma sneered internally but showed nothing outwardly.

"Oh, I see, I misunderstood you,"

Emma said with a smiling face.

But inwardly, she was smirking.

She didn’t expect Laura Jones to always look like she’s above worldly concerns, acting all aloof.

Didn’t expect her to be so adept at pretending.

It’s one thing to put on a show in front of others, but having the guts to do it in front of Mrs. Taylor.

What kind of person is Mrs. Taylor, can’t she see through the act?

Emma secretly felt a hint of schadenfreude in her heart.

That’s best, let Mrs. Taylor realize what kind of person Laura is, maybe she’d prevent Hannah from getting close to her in the future.

Thinking this way, Emma felt even better.

"Come on, let’s continue then, Laura lost quite a bit of money today, Aunt’s not going to be polite with you."

Laura smiled and said it’s fine, a gamble is a gamble, showing no signs of unhappiness.

Emma glanced at her, giving a meaningful smile.

Laura found her smile perplexing and gave her a questioning look.

Then after a few more rounds, Laura was doing slightly better than before, but still unimpressive in front of the three seasoned card players.

Laura played slowly, but with care, completely unaware someone was standing behind her.

While Emma, seated lower than her, was the first to notice William Wilson suddenly appearing in the Poker room.

Although she had seen this handsome, captivating face many times on TV and Twitter, seeing him in person at this moment, her hands were shaking with excitement.

But she didn’t want to show herself as someone who hasn’t seen the world, acting like a mindless fan of William Wilson.

After all, she’s going to join the cast to act with William Wilson in the future.

She pressed her lips, restraining the overwhelming waves inside, pretending she hadn’t seen him, quietly focused on playing cards.

But her demeanor carried a touch more of affected elegance than before.
