With that, the students were so shocked that they were questioning everything they knew.
“This is insane! Even Mr. Goldstein said so, which means she must really be Doctor Sandra!”
“My goodness—this is so terrifying!”
“At most, Doctor Sandra is probably in her early twenties, but she was already famous three years ago. Does this mean that she was already a doctor before she even turned 18?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Gosh! She’s a genius in the medicine field!”
Apart from the shock felt by everyone else, the third year students could not even move an inch.
“F*ck! This means Doctor Sandra is almost the same age as us!”
“I can’t believe it! She’s so young yet she’s already so capable in medicine! She’s a rare treasure indeed!”
“I know, right? Previously, I thought Melissa from Yobril was already quite impressive. After all, she’s not even 20. Unexpectedly, Doctor Sandra is in the same age group as her!”
“That’s right! This is too unbelievable! I’m so excited to be in the same surgery as her later.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Oh my God, my hands are still trembling! I’m afraid I can’t even hold the scalpel steady later!”
While speaking among themselves, the students walked behind Dylan, Robert, and Doctor Sandra.
At this moment, someone suddenly asked, “Tina, are you nervous?”
However, there was no reply for a long time because Tina was still frozen on the spot with her hands tightly clutching her clothes, her lips pressed into a firm line. An unknown expression flitted past her eyes.
She did not expect Doctor Sandra to be of the same age as her.
At this age, she’s already a divine doctor, yet I’m just a year three student!
How great would it be if I’m also a divine doctor?
Tina pursed her lips resentfully.
“What’s wrong, Tina?” the person asked as he turned around.
Upon hearing her name, she raised her head slowly and replied, “Nothing.”
With that, she started walking arduously.
Once they reached the laboratory, the surgery was about to begin.
This time around, there were seven assistants to help out.
Five of them were third year students, while two of them were first year students.
The main surgeon was Doctor Sandra.
Hence, there should be eight people in the surgery room, but only seven were present.
After looking around, Dylan realized that all five of the third year students were present, but for the first years, only Sharon showed up.
Where’s Janet?
She’s not here?
“That’s weird… Why didn’t the first year Miss Jackson come?” Dylan looked at Sharon in confusion.
With that, everyone inhaled sharply.
It was only now they realized that Janet was not here.
Sharon fisted her hands and lowered her head as she stammered, “M-Maybe something came up. Can you wait for her, Professor Fontaine?”
From morning until now, Sharon had not seen Janet at all and she had called the latter numerous times, but the call did not go through at all.
Dylan pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said solemnly, “Janet doesn’t seem like someone who would be late. What’s going on?”
Upon hearing that, the third year students started mocking her immediately.
“Goodness—is Janet running away at the last minute?”
“Ha! So she knows how shameless she is after all!”
“A few days ago, she still looked confident, yet now she’s just a coward who ran away. How ludicrous of her!”
“And she even said that Sharon is hers and that she would guide Sharon herself. However, she did not even arrive today!”
“Ha! I bet she knows nothing and she’s worried that everything will be revealed today!”
“It’s not that.” Standing beside them, Sharon bit her lips and muttered, “Professor Fontaine, it’s all my fault. Last night, I asked her to explain many questions to me. I bet she’s so tired that she overslept today.”
When Sharon explained this to them, she sounded like she was blaming herself.
However, as soon as she finished her sentence, the third year students started mocking her.
“Tsk! I’ve already told you that since you don’t have the capabilities, you shouldn’t be here. Now, you’re even dragging your friend down!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1012
“Overslept? I’m sure she’s not that tired. She clearly knows that we have such an important surgery today, yet she’s late? This is not acceptable.”
“That’s right. Are you sure this isn’t just Janet’s excuse?”
“It seems like Sharon has become her scapegoat now.”
“Ha! Let her be! Birds of the same feather flock together; I’ll be happier if both of them can’t make it.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“That’s right. We don’t need them anyway.”
“Precisely. We already have the best assistant among the third year students already.”
With that, everyone’s gazes fell on Tina, whose lips had curled up slightly when she received affirmative glances from the crowd.
She stood up straighter and lifted her head arrogantly, her chest puffing out.
“Alright. That’s enough.” Dylan’s low voice rang out.
“Change into your scrubs, everyone, and remember to sanitize. We’ll follow all the standard operating procedures, got it?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWhen they saw his seriousness, they immediately stopped talking and perked up as they looked forward to the surgery.
“Doctor Sandra, this way please.”
“Alright.”
With that, Dylan brought Doctor Sandra to the sanitization room to make the necessary preparations before the surgery.
It was a coincidence that Sharon and Doctor Sandra shared the same room.
When Doctor Sandra arrived, Sharon was already well prepared.
“Doctor Sandra,” Sharon murmured as she stood there, feeling slightly nervous.
As per procedures, Doctor Sandra changed into scrubs expertly and wore the gloves that had just been disinfected. Then, she hummed in reply.
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Sharon swallowed the question that she wanted to ask just now.
Through the mirror, Doctor Sandra chuckled lightly. “Are you going to ask me why I’ve appointed you to join the surgery this time?”
With that, Sharon’s eyes narrowed slightly and she stood rooted to the spot.
Then, she nodded honestly. “Yes. Up till now, I still have no idea why you insisted for me to attend this surgery.”
However, Doctor Sandra merely chuckled. “There’s no specific reason. I’ve taken a liking to you, is all.”
Taken a liking to me?
Sharon blinked. Has Doctor Sandra really seen me at the International Medicine Competition?
What does she see in me?
Sharon was slightly confused upon hearing Sandra’s reply.
“Stop zoning out. After you’re done with the preparation, come on out.”
Looking at her chic silhouette, Sharon suddenly felt that Sandra looked familiar, but she just could not put her finger on it.
The surgery training was about to begin.
The patient had cirrhosis, so he needed a liver transplant.
Even though it was surgery training for the third year students, the person was indeed a real patient.
Simply put, because all the medical fees were footed by Woodsbury University, the patient was willing to come to the university for the operation as part of the surgery training for the third year students.
Even so, all the patients had been treated successfully by Woodsbury University every year, because the main surgeon would be Dylan. As his assistants, the third year students were just spectators.
In the individual surgery room in Woodsbury University, everyone had already donned their sanitized scrubs and gloves. Then, they straightened their white coats.
Sandra shot a serious look at the patient who had been anesthetized before she said coldly, “The surgery starts now.”
“Understood,” they replied unanimously.
As this was their first time working with Doctor Sandra, they were very much looking forward to it.
“One person will have to insert the IV deep into his veins to establish venous access. Then, connect another tube to his urinary tract.”
Sandra’s calm and cool voice echoed in the room.
Even though she was quite young, the powerful aura that she gave off made them willing to obey her orders.
“Another person will have to draw the surgery lines.”
Her voice rang out once again.
Upon hearing this, Tina quickly shoved Sharon away and stood out to volunteer. “Doctor Sandra, I can do that.”
Being pushed aside, Sharon merely lowered her head without speaking as she prepared herself to pass the tools to Tina.
However, Doctor Sandra paused for a moment and said without even lifting her head, “Sharon, could you do that instead?”
Tina, who was already prepared to draw the surgery lines, froze.
What does she mean?
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1013
Doctor Sandra actually let Sharon draw the surgery lines?
Is she pulling my leg?
Sharon frowned slightly and spoke in a serious tone. “Doctor Sandra, I think it’s better if Tina does it instead.”
Upon hearing that, Doctor Sandra suddenly raised her head and stared into Sharon’s eyes.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“You can’t do it or you don’t want to?” she questioned.
“I—” Sharon had a complicated expression on her face.
Standing beside them, Tina finally could not hold back anymore. “Doctor Sandra, it’s better if I do it. Sharon is just a first year student who does not know anything.”
“That’s right, Doctor Sandra. Let’s leave the surgery lines to Tina.”
“Yeah, Sharon is just a first year student who doesn’t even have basic skills in surgery. How will she know this?”
Sharon closed her eyes and bit her lips as she remained silent for a few seconds.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryA few moments later, she opened her eyes and looked at Sandra firmly. “Doctor Sandra, I can do it. I know what to do.”
Sandra lifted her eyebrows subconsciously and said gently, “Alright. Go ahead.”
With that, Tina froze immediately.
Doctor Sandra is ignoring me just like that?
She would rather have a newbie as her assistant instead of giving an experienced third year student like me a chance?
Is she an idiot?
Tina bit her lip harshly as her breathing became uneven. “Doctor Sandra, Sharon is just a first year student. How could she know what to do? What if she draws the wrong lines? Is the patient going to die in her hands?”
With that, the rest of the third year students agreed with Tina immediately.
“Exactly! Tina is right. Sharon is just a first year student, so she can’t possibly know about this.”
“Precisely. Doctor Sandra, don’t listen to Sharon’s nonsense. She’s not treating the patient’s life seriously at all!”
“How responsible of you, Sharon! You’d better get out!”
“That’s right; get out of here! You’re blocking Tina.”
Tina did not expect everyone to stand up for her, so she added fuel to the fire. “Doctor Sandra, aren’t you going to chase someone like this out of the operating theatre?”
The entire operating theatre became silent as everyone waited for Sandra to chase Sharon out of there.
Even though the medical masks blocked most of Tina’s face, one could tell that she was quite vindictive by just looking at her eyes.
“Tina.” A cool voice slowly rang out.
“Yes,” she replied gleefully.
Sandra raised her eyes to look at her as she spoke coldly. “Please leave the operating theatre.”
With that, a deadly silence fell upon them all once again.
Tina’s gleeful expression slowly turned to one of confusion and resentment.
“Why?” She frowned in dissatisfaction. “Doctor Sandra, Sharon should be the one to leave the room. Why me? Did you get us mixed up?”
The rest of the students had conflicted expressions on their faces as well, but they stopped speaking up for Tina.
Looking slightly furious, Tina bit her lip. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask another question, Sandra interrupted, “Tina Favre, get your *ss out of here.”
What?
Everyone else exchanged shocked glances, their faces pale.
Even though ‘please leave the operating theatre’ and ‘get your *ss out of here’ had the same meaning, the tone and the words had very different meanings.
Doctor Sandra is really furious now!
“Why are you still here?”
With that, Tina seemed to be struck by lightning as she stood frozen to the spot, and it was as if her blood froze in her veins.
A chill ran down her spine and she felt like she had entered an ice cave. Tina raised her head and asked angrily, “Why me and not Sharon?”
After all, my practical techniques and theoretical knowledge are stronger than Sharon’s.
Why did Doctor Sandra take Sharon’s side? She can’t see my strong points at all!
“Whoever I ask to leave will have to leave. It’s my call.” Sandra’s voice somehow became colder and more displeased, making the rest feel fearful.
Upon hearing this, Tina blanched immediately.
She bit her lip and looked at Doctor Sandra incredulously. “Everyone knows that Sharon knows nothing at all. She should leave, not me! Why is it me?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1014
When have I ever been treated like this?
This cannot be happening!
However, Sandra merely continued coldly, “We are in an operating theatre now. This is not the place for you to throw your tantrum and compare yourself to others. You have no right to be my assistant, so if you don’t leave on the count of three, I will leave.”
She said it calmly and indifferently, her voice carrying a tinge of ruthlessness and displeasure, as if she would not change her mind anymore.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryTina’s hands trembled and she bit her lip until she could taste blood before she let it go slowly.
If Sandra left the operating theatre today, the patient’s surgery would not be carried out.
If that happened, Robert and Dylan would be mad, and it would be difficult to explain this to the patient later on as well.
After weighing the pros and cons, Tina clenched her fists tightly and said angrily, “Fine! I’ll leave! I simply don’t care anymore!”
Based on my technical skills, I bet many hospitals are waiting to hire me to be their surgeon!
I don’t care about this little surgery training!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryI will never beg her shamelessly. It will make me look as though I can’t wait to take part in this menial surgery.
She’s just a woman in her twenties; how much can she have achieved in the medical field?
We don’t even know how she got the title ‘divine doctor’.
Who does she think she is?
After Tina left the operating theatre, Sandra’s cold voice rang out again. “Sharon, draw the surgery lines.”
Upon hearing that, Sharon took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing before she replied, “Got it.”
After the incident involving Tina just now, no one else dared to slack off.
Finally, the surgery was completed successfully after two whole hours.
With her cold voice, Sandra took charge of the entire surgery and gave out instructions to the students.
Two hours later, the door of the operating theatre finally opened.
After pushing open the door, Dylan quickly asked, “How did it go?”
The third year students stretched and yawned in exhaustion. “It’s so tiring.”
Dylan then paused before asking, “I’m asking about the surgery. How did it go?”
At this moment, Sandra walked out of the operating theatre and replied, ‘It went well.”
With that, Dylan heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Alright everyone, you’ve all done a good job. You can change into your clothes now.”
“Yes, Professor Fontaine.”
After the third year students left, he quickly walked over to Sandra. “Doctor Sandra, thanks for all your hard work.”
Sandra merely took off her gloves and threw them into the trash can as she said impassively, “It’s my duty.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Dylan opened his mouth arduously. “I saw another third year student coming out of the room earlier than intended. Did she do anything wrong?”
Tina walked out of the room with tears in her eyes just now but she refused to answer the questions he asked, so he was unclear about what actually happened.
“Oh—that girl.” Sandra merely curled her lips and snorted. Then, she went to the locker to take out her phone as she explained indifferently, “I don’t like chaotic people.”
She was already in a bad mood, yet Tina continued to chatter in front of her ignorantly.
After hearing this, I bet Tina has offended Doctor Sandra.
Dylan’s heart sank but he quickly smiled at her warmly. “I hope you don’t take it seriously. I’ll talk to her later.”
He knew that if Tina offended Sandra, the former would be ruined in the medical field.
After all, Sandra was famous for her foul temper.
Sandra paused for a beat. Just as she was about to say something, the phone in her hands suddenly rang.
She lowered her eyes to look at the caller—it was Corey.
“Please excuse me, Professor Fontaine. I have to take this call.”
eeling rather awkward, Dylan mumbled, “Alright then, Doctor Sandra. I’ll take my leave first so that I won’t interrupt you.”
After seeing him leave, Sandra finally answered the call and took off her mask.
“What’s up?” she asked calmly.
The voice on the other end was as low as usual but he seemed anxious. “J’Adore, come to Ebony City in Markovia.”
“Ebony City? Isn’t that your turf?” Janet asked lazily.
“Yes, but I heard that Prime Minister Welch is coming here today. You are the only person who can deal with him, so please come here as soon as possible. It’s urgent!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1015
Janet frowned. “Him again?”
I can’t be sure that I can deal with him, and I don’t really want to be involved in this mess.
Apart from that, Mason left just like that, so I’m in no mood to do anything else.
Corey seemed to notice her hesitation from the other end of the line, so he retreated slightly. “Come here this time and I won’t ask you to do so anymore.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Are you sure?” Janet arched her eyebrows, a cold look in her eyes.
“Yes. Please come immediately, J’Adore.”
Janet could not ignore his request after all, so she nodded. “Got it. I’ll be there. See you in Ebony City in six hours.”
She rubbed her temples and heaved a sigh.
After hanging up, she put the phone down and walked to the changing room to change her clothes.
Meanwhile, on the other end, Corey slowly flashed a cold, cunning smile after he heard the beeping sound from the other end of the phone.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThen, his thin lips parted as he murmured, “I hope the plan today will be successful.”
In Woodsbury University, Sharon could have gone home after completing the surgery training, but she did not.
Instead, she went back to the classroom that belonged to year one medical students.
After scanning the room, she still did not see Janet anywhere.
“Abby, Summer, have you seen Janet?”
Both of them shook their heads and looked at her blankly. “Nope. Didn’t you guys just have surgery training together?”
Sharon frowned. “No. I haven’t seen her since this morning.”
Initially, she thought Janet might have overslept. However, now that it was already afternoon, she should have woken up.
If she had woken up, Janet would reply to her missed calls. However, Janet did not do anything of that sort, which was why Sharon felt that something was off.
“No way.” Abby blinked. “Janet has never been late!”“Exactly! What’s going on? Have you called her?” Summer asked as she glanced at Sharon, who muttered, “Yes, but the call didn’t go through.”
While they were speaking, Janet’s figure flashed in Sharon’s eyes and she suddenly had a familiar feeling.
The way they speak and walk is similar.
For some reason, I think that Janet looks like Doctor Sandra.
After brooding on this for a moment, she asked, “Abby, Summer, did you see Doctor Sandra this morning?”
They nodded. “Yes, but just for a few seconds and we watched her from a distance.”
There was a huge crowd in the morning that almost blocked the entire campus.
Abby blinked, her doe-like eyes full of confusion. “Why do you ask, Sharon? What does this have to do with Janet?”
“The reason that I’m able to join the surgery training for third years is because of Doctor Sandra’s recommendation. Technically speaking, I have no relation to her at all, but how would she know about my existence? On top of that, during the International Medical Competition for Novice, my performance was just mediocre. She wouldn’t have noticed me at all. Apart from that, Janet did not plan to go to the competition but she suddenly appeared. More importantly, in the surgery room just now, Doctor Sandra feels like Janet to me.”
With a frown on her face, Sharon told them her suspicions.
As soon as they heard that, both Abby and Summer lifted their heads immediately.
Their eyes flickered as they said unanimously, “Do you think that Janet is Doctor Sandra?”
Sharon nodded. “There is a possibility.”
Abby blinked and frowned. “But if Janet really is Doctor Sandra, why didn’t she tell us? Not to mention, she doesn’t have to study medicine at all!”
After all, with Doctor Sandra’s capabilities, she could be a professor teaching them medicine.
Upon hearing that, Sharon nodded again, thinking that Abby’s words made sense as well. “No matter what, I feel that this entire thing isn’t that simple.”
“Forget it. Let’s ask Janet when she comes back to university,” Summer said.
Abby and Sharon hummed in agreement before they fell silent.
On the other hand, after Janet arrived at Ebony City in Markovia, it was already 6 PM.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1016
As they came out from the airport, the night sky had already darkened. At a glance, there was a high rise building clearly visible from afar—that was Ebony Town.
Ebony Town was the President’s main place of residence. It was also where group meetings were held or where secret transactions took place. Generally, it was only open to the public during the day. However, tonight was an exception because there was someone to get rid of.
“Peter Welch,” she muttered under her breath.
At that moment, her phone lying in her pocket rang shrilly. As she released her hold on the screen, she glanced at the phone. It was Lara.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWithout hesitation, Janet answered the call immediately. The female voice that rang out from the other end had an air of uncertainty. “Janet, Peter will turn up in Ebony Town of Markovia tonight.”
Janet raised her brows in response and casually commented, “Yes, I’m in Markovia right now. Corey’s informed me about that.”
“Is that true?” Lara furrowed her brows as she responded. “You have to be on your toes at all times. Since his itinerary is public information, that means he must be well-prepared.”
Peter had been in reclusion for such a long period of time. The revelation of his itinerary would mean that he would become an easy target for his enemies. As such, this would be the perfect opportunity for him to get rid of all of his opponents.
Nevertheless, Janet had expected it. “I’m aware of this. However, I need to put an end to everything.” After this, this world would either be without me or Peter Welch. Whatever it is, I’m ready to face the music.
“Janet, let me bring some troops and join you as a backup,” Lara anxiously suggested.

Janet curled her lips into a slight smile as she said, “It’s alright. Peter doesn’t know my true identity yet. Hence, he hasn’t laid a hand on MX. If you come along with me, that would definitely raise some alarm bells. How about this—if you can’t get hold of me by tomorrow morning, then get Corey and request for his assistance to rescue me.” Currently, the President still has some troops on hand. Besides, since Ebony Town was his domain, it was much easier for him to coordinate things.
Lara paused for a short while before she replied lightly, “Alright, I’ll take note of that. Please keep safe. Could we contact Mason as a last resort?”
As soon as Lara mentioned Mason, Janet furrowed her brows and her tone became quite impatient. “Forget about it! I don’t want to talk about him.”
Lara blinked her eyes in confusion. “Why? Did something happen between the two of you?”
“We’re fine. Sorry, I have to go.” Janet did not want to talk about him at all. He’s been missing in action since this morning after he left that short note. Messages and phone calls remain unanswered. Is he not aware that I’m sick with worry? Even then, I can’t quite keep him out of my mind. That conversation with Lara reminds me of him. As she thought of him, she could feel her heart aching in pain.
At the same time, somewhere else in Ebony Town, another scene unfolded. Although the town was surrounded by a sinister and strange atmosphere, Peter continued with his schedule and made his way there. He was heavily surrounded even before he stepped foot into town. Today would mean an end to everything.
At that moment, there was a loud honk from outside. He gave a wave of his hand. Immediately, Sean who was by his side stepped up and asked, “Sir, what would you like me to do?”
Peter gradually raised his brow as he formed a smile with his thin lips. Then, he uttered, “Go out and have a look. Is that Shadow 1 outside?”
“I’ll go right now.” Sean agreed and nodded before he made his way outside.
There was a black Rolls Royce parked in front of the town entrance. A blond-haired and green-eyed lady got out of the car a second later. Blond hair with green eyes? It was Shadow 1.
Turning back in a hurry, Sean ran up to the man who was currently radiating coldness. Solemnly, he announced, “Sir, Shadow 1’s here.”
“Noted.” Peter squinted his eyes as he said. “As expected.” Then, he gradually lifted his brows. His eyes were bright as it reflected the sparkle from the lights on the ceiling. “Leave the room. I need to have a word with her.”
In order to gain trust from an assassin, one would need to reveal their weak point. That would be the only way for the assassin to lower their guard. Once a person lowered their guard, they would be prone to reveal their innermost feelings.
“Sure.” Sean replied with a nod of his head as well. Then, he waved to all the guards standing in attendance by the side to leave. Shortly after that, he heard the clicking sound of high heels on the ground from behind.
Peter squinted his eyes as he gradually unclenched his fist. His lips curled into a smile as he greeted, “Hey, Shadow 1. I haven’t seen you for a while now.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1017
Shadow 1 stopped in her steps as she heard what Peter said. With her hands on her hips, she casually commented, “It wasn’t that long—only a week ago.”
Peter’s lips curved into a smile and he turned to look behind him.
She was dressed in a skin-tight black spandex suit. Coupled with her blond hair and emerald-green eyes, she was the epitome of sexiness and charm.
However, he remained fairly disinterested.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAs she felt his gaze on her, she tilted her brows in response and her dazzling emerald-green eyes narrowed slightly. She chuckled lightly as she asked, “Mr. Welch, how do you find the view? I distinctly remember you staring at me the same way during our first encounter. Do you find my face captivating?”
“Yeah, right!” Peter gave a snigger as he replied with an indifferent tone. “I like pretty girls—safe to say, you’re just not my type!”
That reply was quite unexpected.
However, Shadow 1 persisted and she calmly asked, “Oh, really? I guess you’re attracted to my figure instead.”
“Miss Shadow 1, you honestly have such an inflated sense of self-esteem. I actually find it quite repulsive.” He narrowed his eyes and threw her a look of disgust.
She maintained her silence as she peered at the surroundings.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAfter a while, she lazily commented, “Did you come empty-handed?”
Peter’s tone was cold and unforgiving. With a sense of relish, he replied, “That’s none of your concern. The important thing right now is—what sort of information did you bring me today?”
During their previous encounter, she had promised to hand over some inside intelligence in exchange for him releasing her.
Despite being fully aware that she did not have any credibility, he somehow remained curious of her response.
Shadow 1’s voice was equally neutral as she replied coldly, “You were skeptical of my promise the last time. Why do you care so much right now?”
“So, what’s your purpose for coming here today?” Peter narrowed his eyes and grabbed her by the arm. “Are you here to get killed?”
It was definitely out of the norm for him to be in a conversation for such a long period of time. However, her lips remained sealed and not a single piece of information came out of her mouth.
She maintained her composure and lifted her brows. Next, she grabbed hold of his arm in the same manner as she viciously stated, “I’m here to take your worthless life!”
He snorted before he forcefully twisted her arms backward. He coldly responded, “As a matter of fact, that’s quite a bold statement coming from someone who’s here all by herself.”
Shadow 1 grimaced in pain as a flash of anger crossed her face. “I’m more than capable of taking your life by myself!” Subsequently, she stopped midway and directed a cold smile toward him. “That’s because you won’t be able to leave this town.” I know that there are bombs and neurotoxin around this town. Too bad, Peter’s not familiar with Markovia, so he’s completely unaware of this information.
As he heard her taunts, Peter stooped down and looked at her as he questioned with a cool voice, “Are you warning me that there’s going to be an ambush?”
She gave a slight disparaging smile and her mocking eyes were full of disdain. “There are military-grade gunpowder and military-grade neurotoxin buried underneath Ebony Town. The gunpowder buried is ten times more powerful than normal gunpowder. As for the neurotoxin, once you inhale it, you’ll drop dead within ten minutes.”
As soon he heard her words, he lost his flippancy and his lips, which were curled upward, slowly tightened into a thin line. Military-grade gunpowder? Military-grade neurotoxin? This is all for military use only. Does this mean that Ebony Town is under Markovian military control? So, is Shadow 1 sent by the Markovian military?
“Are you sent by the Markovian military?” he asked as he curled his lips. As he finished his sentence, his grip on her tightened significantly.
The pain Shadow 1 was currently experiencing served as a reminder and she was fully aware that Peter’s anger originated from her provoking words. She was genuinely surprised that he had easily figured out her identity. Despite that, she maintained a composed look as she calmly smirked at him and responded, “You’re such a smart cookie. However, this is all you’ll get to know.”
He knows I’m from the military. That means he’ll figure out shortly that I’m working for Corey. It won’t be good because Corey will be in grave danger if his identity is exposed. Hence, I can’t let him walk out of this door alive.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1018
Shadow 1 took a deep breath. Then, she raised her foot to kick Peter in the balls.
However, he was swift in dodging her attack.
“Excuse me, Miss Shadow! That’s quite harsh of you! That’s an extremely sensitive spot!” He was full of rage when he said that.
“Is that so?” She smirked at him and jeered. “If you hadn’t dodged my attack earlier, you would be impotent from today onward.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Darn you!” He clenched his teeth and he narrowed his eyes before coldly stating. “I must say, you do have quite a sharp tongue.”
She curved her lips and pulled a face at him. Then, she stared at him with her emerald-green eyes and sneered, “Besides having a sharp tongue, I can fight well too.”
At the same time, she stooped over and reached out for the little knife she had hidden in her boots. Next, with a quick turn of her body, she then held the knife to his throat.
Peter took a deep breath and pursed his lips as he remained frozen in his original position. That was quick! She’s quicker than a shadow. No wonder she’s known as Shadow 1. Judging from her speed today, she must have shown mercy to me the last time. Anyway, she wasn’t at her usual standard the last time we were in combat.
“I’m quick, aren’t I?” she taunted him.
As she said that, her emerald-green eyes noticed a reddish mark on the nape of his neck. She instantly knew what that was.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWow! “Your girlfriend’s quite enamoured of you!” Shadow 1 snorted derisively.
Peter was stunned by her words but he quickly regained his composure. He pressed his lips together and retorted, “Is that jealousy coming from you, Miss Shadow 1? Oh wait, I must be mistaken. You’re just a heartless, cold-blooded assassin. How would you know what it’s like to be in love? It’s such a shame!”
Shadow 1 became quite enraged upon hearing his words. “Shut up!”
“Are you angry?” Peter raised his eyebrows quizzically as he gave a light smile. “Did I hit a nerve? Is that why you’re so upset?”
Her eyes narrowed as she took a swipe at his throat with the little knife she was holding onto. He pushed her back immediately after feeling the tip of the knife on his throat. However, the sharp blade still left a tiny mark on his neck. As such, a trickle of blood ran down his neck.
“How dare you, you wretched girl!” He directed his almond-shaped eyes on Shadow 1 who was standing across him. The menacing look in his eyes deepened and it was quite frightening.
Meanwhile, she licked her lips as she gradually formed a smile.
Just as she was about to move forward and take him down once and for all, a crackling noise reached her ears and interrupted her.
All of a sudden, the monitor hanging on the wall in the darkened room lit up, displaying a picture. On screen, the pair of eyes visible was emotionless and cold.
I can recognize the eyes. It’s Corey!
The President could be seen sitting on a black couch and his face was hidden behind a mask. The only visible part of his face was his eyes. The corners of his mouth formed a sneer as he greeted, “How do you do, Mr. Welch?”
It was a clash between him and Peter. Peter directed his red eyes, which were swimming with rage, onto the screen to meet his cold stare. All of a sudden, Peter curled his lips into a smile and asked, “Oh, so you’re the one who wanted to get rid of me all this while, huh?”
Looking at the screen, the President gave a smile and maintained his silence. However, he turned toward Shadow 1 and gave her a look of comfort. “Hey, you did a great job.”
I can’t believe it. She managed to draw blood from him. I didn’t expect that. Next on the agenda is to wait for Shadow 1 to leave the scene. Then, I’ll detonate all the bombs and destroy Ebony Town.
She fixed her gaze on the screen and smiled at him. “Is the mission completed?”
“Certainly!” The President chuckled as he said. “You can make your way out now.”
As Shadow 1 heard the President’s words, she turned toward Peter, who was standing next to her, and raised the corners of her mouth. With a roguish expression, she lazily commented, “It’s time for me to go now, Mr. Welch. Good—”
Before she had even said Goodbye, he suddenly leaped and sprang up toward her. Immediately after that, he gripped tightly onto her hand and refused to budge from her side.
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at his enormous palms holding onto her hands. She rebuked sharply, “Let go of me!”
However, Peter raised his eyebrows and casually commented, “There’s no way I’m going to hell by myself.”
I’m quite certain with her in my hands, the bombs will not be detonated.
Both Shadow 1’s hands and feet were tightly held up by Peter and she did not have the strength to resist. The only thing she could do was to coldly threaten him. “You better let go of me right now.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1019
Shadow 1’s threat meant nothing to the man. He regarded it as a pointless struggle, so he replied coldly, “I reckon with you in my hands, the bombs will not detonate.”
“B*stard!” she yelled out in anger. Thereafter, she opened her mouth and bit him hard on his arm, leaving a visible bite mark on it.
“Darn it!”
Prime Minister Welch narrowed his eyes in pain and quickly flung his hand away.

Is this a signal problem or did Corey just switch off his monitor?
At this moment, it did not cross her mind to contemplate this any further. She looked at Prime Minister Welch, who had his whole weight atop of her, and coolly informed him, “If you don’t let go of me right now, the two of us will not get out of here alive.”
Prime Minister Welch smirked as soon as he heard this, for he assumed she was lying to him again. And so, he had an expression of nonchalance as he spoke. “I never expected to walk out of here alive. As for you, you don’t even have any family members or loved ones. Therefore, there’s no one who will miss you if you’re gone. Am I right?”
His current expression was one full of aggression and his eyes were icy-cold without a hint of warmth at all. From his eyes, she could tell that he had lost all hope of living, and that he meant every word he said.
At this point, she started to panic.

“Take a guess…” Prime Minister Welch caught her look and he noticed her anxiety, hence he added fuel to the fire. “Let’s take a guess as to when the bombs will go off! While we’re at it, let’s guess when the neurotoxin will get released too! You should have a better idea since you’re from around here, right?”
“You’re a lunatic!” Shadow 1 practically screamed out these words.
He’s not afraid of dying at all. Has he really made up his mind for us to perish in here together?
At the same time, on the other side of the screen was Corey. As soon as he saw Prime Minister Welch grab hold of J’Adore, he switched off his monitor immediately.
I don’t hate J’Adore to the extent that I want to see her being blown up in front of me. The main point is, I don’t want her to know that I’m not going to rescue her. As a matter of fact, I was just taking advantage of her from the start.
As for J’Adore, from today onward, she would cease to exist in this world.
“Mr. President, don’t you find it quite a shame that Miss J’Adore sacrificed her life like this?” one of the guards dressed in a black suit couldn’t help himself from commenting.
After all, MX and the President’s Office had always maintained a friendly relationship before this.
Corey gave a light laugh as he replied without a care, “What’s there to be sad about? Once she’s dead, I’ll finally be in full control of Markovia.”
When the time comes, I’ll finally be the ruler of Markovia. My well-executed plan had just killed two birds with one stone. It was fascinating to watch it play out.
Meanwhile in Ebony Town, Shadow 1 was crushed under Prime Minister Welch’s weight and she could barely move.
His eyes were bloodshot. No matter what she said, he stubbornly refused to let go of his grip on her.
He must be insane! This lunatic has given up on his life but I’m not ready to die yet.
As Shadow 1 lay on the ground, she attempted to break free of his hold on her. Suddenly, she glimpsed a little flashing red light on the ceiling. There were multiple of them, forming a single line.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Although it was barely audible, there was a slight beeping sound that accompanied the flashing red lights.
Both her eyes widened in fear as she realized it was a bomb. It was a tiny bomb; the size was only about the size of a finger and the tip of it flashed red. Despite its size, the magnitude of it’s explosion was comparable to a normal bomb.
D*mn it! Corey must be insane. Not only is there gunpowder buried underground, there are also bombs on the ceiling! Does he hate Prime Minister Welch that much?
Shadow 1 was completely overpowered by Prime Minister Welch and she no longer had any energy left to resist him. As such, she said, “If you don’t let go of me, I can assure you that we’ll both be blown to smithereens within ten minutes.”
Prime Minister Welch was stunned for a couple of seconds before he chuckled coldly. “How dare you trick me again? Are you planning to run away from me?”
He had been fooled by her the last time. Therefore, he was not going to give her another chance to trick him.
“I’m telling the truth! The bombs placed above have started beeping. Those are finger-sized bombs that may look tiny but the magnitude of the explosion is huge. Well, at the very least, it would easily blow us into smithereens.”

“If you don’t believe my words, why don’t you have a look yourself? Look up!” Shadow 1 said this solemnly without blinking her eyes.
She did not mask her sincerity and the man could feel this. As such, Prime Minister Welch hesitated for a few seconds before raising his head to look above him.
Sure enough, he saw a silvery metal piece the size of a finger; it was currently flashing in red.
According to her, this was a sign that the bomb was about to explode.

However, you’re mistaken. I’ve also got people I love and family members I care about, so I don’t want to die here either. If you trust me, please let go of me. Let’s work together to find a way out, alright?”
Prime Minister Welch’s elongated eyes narrowed in response as he got up abruptly. “I’ll strangle you right away if you deceive me again,” he muttered stiffly.
Shadow 1 pursed her lips and gave him a huge shove as she slowly got up from the ground. “From now onward, we work as a team. If I can’t make it out of here, then you won’t be getting out of here alive either.”
Two heads are better than one. Besides, I know the layout of this place, so there must be a way out.
As soon as she said that, she turned around to look at him quizzically. However, he maintained his silence and started stripping beside her.
Shadow 1 gulped as she slowly retreated. “What are you doing? You’re not some pervert, are you? How can you be thinking of this right now? You must be insane!”

Just then, she shook her head in disbelief and looked on at Prime Minister Welch warily.
Prime Minister Welch’s expression remained dark and brooding as he walked toward her.
As he approached her, he ripped his jacket in half using his bare hands. He held up her hand, then tied one end of the jacket on her and the other end on himself.
He then responded coolly, “Don’t take it the wrong way. I’m not interested in you; this is just to prevent you from running off.”
As he finished saying his words, a look of disgust flashed across his face.
Suddenly, there was a loud ‘bang’ that originated from above their heads.
Both of their faces stiffened at once.
“It’s the bomb,” both of them uttered in unison, their voices cold.
Prime Minister Welch narrowed his gaze as he got up immediately. He then barked at her, “Hurry up; let’s go!”
Shadow 1’s arm was tied to the jacket. Therefore, she had no choice and was dragged along as he moved.
The pair of them scrambled toward the front door in a single file. However, the door that had been wide open previously was now sealed shut.
Prime Minister Welch’s gaze narrowed as he kicked hard at the door. The flurry of movement indicated the strength he exerted to break down the door and his kick was strong enough to take down a normal wooden door.
As his feet landed on the door, the wooden door splintered and fell from its hinges. However, there was another metal door beneath it.
Shadow 1’s expression darkened as soon as she saw the second door. She touched the surface lightly and her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at it contemplatively.
“What’s this?” he asked with a low voice as his expression soured.
“It’s a metal door.”
Prime Minister Welch raised his eyebrows upon hearing her words. His right hand reached out toward his waist and he took out a gun from there. Next, he fired a shot toward the door.
However, the solid metal door remained undented and standing.
“It’s useless. This isn’t a normal metal door and it cannot be penetrated by bullets,” she replied as the edges of her mouth took on a scowl.
“Do you have any way of getting past this?” he asked with a cold voice as he became visibly enraged.
He looked as if he would tear her apart should her answer be a negative one.
Shadow 1 lifted her brows provokingly as she calmly stated, “What if my answer turned out to be no? Do you plan on killing me off right away?”
“You—” His face was twisted with anger as he clenched his jaw.
She’s got such a sharp tongue!
However, before he could get a word in, he suddenly felt his whole body weakening. He retreated a few steps and supported himself by holding onto the wall.
“What’s wrong?” she exclaimed as she went up to him and instinctively supported him.
The man leaned against the wall and his almond-shaped eyes narrowed. His menacing stance was quite evident and his expression darkened. “This must be the effect of your so-called military neurotoxin.”
As he kicked at the wooden door earlier, he had caught a whiff of a certain scent. If he was not mistaken, that must have been the scent of the neurotoxin.
