Emily stood quietly in front of the mirror, which was like a window leading to an unknown world. She took a deep breath, trying to let the slight coolness calm her surging emotions like waves. Tonight, she would accompany Jack to a social event, which was her first public appearance as the eldest son's wife of the Harrison family. She was well aware in her heart that this would surely be a severe test, and she had to present an impeccable and perfect image in front of everyone, even though her heart was currently filled with doubts and uneasiness. "You look beautiful, Emily," Sophia's voice came from behind her, full of encouragement. Sophia was like a bright lamp in the darkness, giving Emily a bit of warmth and strength. Emily forced a weak smile, which looked so pale and powerless. "Thank you, Sophia. I don't know if I can get through tonight," she said, a deep sense of worry showing in her voice, as if she was about to step into a jungle full of unknown dangers. Sophia held Emily's hand tightly, and the warm touch made Emily's heart stir slightly. "You can do it. Remember, you're not alone in this," Sophia said, her eyes full of firmness and trust, which made Emily feel a bit comforted. Emily nodded. She knew that she really needed Sophia's support. She slowly put on an elegant evening dress that Jack had carefully chosen for her. The soft fabric clung to her skin, showing her elegant temperament and conforming to the noble taste of the Harrison family. She put on the diamond ring. Although she was still full of questions about the origin of this ring, at this moment, it was like a symbol, reminding her of her identity and responsibilities. When Emily and Jack arrived at the event venue, she immediately felt the gazes pouring in like a tide around her. People were whispering, and the voices were like buzzing bees, full of curiosity and inquisitiveness. They curiously looked at this newly joined member of the Harrison family, as if examining a precious work of art. Emily felt tremendous pressure, but she tried hard to stay calm and greeted every guest with a smile. That smile was like a mask, covering up her inner nervousness and uneasiness. Jack stood beside her, a hint of pride showing in his eyes. "You're doing great, Emily," he whispered, his voice like a gentle breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples. Emily nodded, but in her heart, she wondered if all of this was just a superficial game. She keenly noticed that in the eyes of some guests, there was not only curiosity but also a hint of contempt. She understood that as Jack's wife, she had to bravely face these complicated social relationships and couldn't back down. During the event, Emily met a woman named Lily. Lily was a socialite in City A, and her beauty and charm were like bright stars, making her the focus of attention in the social circle. However, when Lily's gaze fell on Emily, a flash of jealousy showed in her eyes. The jealous flame seemed as if it could devour Emily in an instant. "Hello, Emily. I'm Lily," Lily said with a smile and extended her hand, but there was a touch of coldness in her smile. That coldness was like the cold wind in winter, making Emily shiver involuntarily. Emily replied politely, "Hello, Lily. Nice to meet you." Her voice was calm and elegant, trying to show her grace. Lily moved closer to Emily and whispered, "I know about you and Jack. But do you think you can really adapt to our life?" Her words were full of provocation, as if declaring war on Emily. Emily's heart tightened. She knew that Lily's words were full of malice. She took a deep breath and tried hard to stay calm. "I'll do my best, Lily," she replied simply and firmly, not showing any weakness. Lily smiled and then turned away. That smile was full of sarcasm, making Emily feel a bit uneasy. She knew that Lily probably wouldn't let her off easily and that she had to be careful and not let Lily catch any把柄. During the event, Emily also met some members of the Harrison family. Their attitudes varied. Some were friendly, some were cold, and some were clearly hostile. Emily realized that she had to win the support of these family members, otherwise her position in the Harrison family would be in jeopardy. She began to observe everyone's expressions and movements, trying to find some clues to understand their thoughts and needs. Jack noticed Emily's uneasiness and whispered, "Don't worry. I'll help you." His voice was full of tenderness and comfort, making Emily's heart stir slightly. Emily nodded, but in her heart, she wondered if Jack could really help her. She knew that she couldn't rely entirely on Jack. She had to rely on her own strength to survive in this complicated social circle. After the event, Emily and Jack returned home. Emily felt exhausted, as if she had just gone through a long and difficult battle. She took off the evening dress, and the gorgeous dress now felt like a heavy shackle, making her feel oppressed. She sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought. "You did a great job tonight, Emily," Jack said as he sat beside her, a hint of sincerity showing in his eyes. That sincere gaze made a warm current rise in Emily's heart. Emily sighed, "Thank you, Jack. But I don't know if I'm really suitable for your world," she said, her voice full of confusion and bewilderment, like a traveler groping in the dark. Jack held her hand, and the warm touch made Emily feel a bit at ease. "Emily, I know this is all very difficult for you. But please believe me. I'll be by your side to support you," he said, his words full of promises, which made Emily's heart full of contradictions. In the following days, Emily began to work harder to adapt to the life of the Harrison family. She participated in more social activities and got to know more family members. She tried hard to show her elegance and wisdom and won the respect and support of some people. However, she also clearly knew that this was just the beginning, and she still had a long way to go. Emily also noticed some unusual signs. She found that there were some secret meetings in the family, some discussions from which she was excluded. She realized that the core power circle of the Harrison family didn't fully accept her. The feeling of being excluded made her feel lost and uneasy, but she didn't give up. Emily decided to take action. She began to secretly investigate the contents of these secret meetings. She used her intelligence and sharp observation skills to try to find some clues. She found that these meetings involved some major decisions of the family, including business transactions and political alliances. Emily realized that she had to find a way to make herself a part of these decisions. One night, Emily accidentally found some documents in Jack's study. These documents revealed a major business transaction that the family was about to conduct. Emily realized that this might be her opportunity, and she could use this information to prove her value. Her heart was full of excitement and nervousness, and she knew that she had to act cautiously. She decided to tell Jack about these documents, hoping to win his trust and support. When she showed these documents to Jack, Jack's face became serious. A flash of surprise and worry showed in his eyes. "Emily, how did you get these documents?" Jack asked, his voice full of interrogation. Emily took a deep breath. She knew that she had to be honest. "Jack, I know I shouldn't have done this, but I need to prove my value to you. I know these transactions are very important to the family, and I hope I can help you," she said, her voice full of sincerity and determination. Jack was silent for a while and then sighed. "Emily, I appreciate your efforts. But you must understand that family affairs are very complicated. You can't interfere casually," he said, his words full of warnings, which made Emily feel a bit disappointed. Emily nodded. She knew that she had to be more careful. But she also realized that she had to find a way to make herself an indispensable part of the Harrison family. Doubts: - Is there a deeper reason behind Lily's hostility towards Emily?
