Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1111
Lee smiled. “Can you understand me? After discussing it with Janet just now, we think that it’s best to hang you on the top floor of the White Clouds Castle. The view is great there, and everyone in Sandfort City will be able to take a look at you. You can have the overnight fame that you always wanted.”
His cold and ruthless voice sent chills down her spine.
The top floor of the White Clouds Castle?
I don’t want to use this method to get famous!

Sobbing, Emily crawled backward. “No! I don’t want that! Please let me go, Young Master Sanders! I don’t dare to oppose Janet anymore. Please ask her to let me go. Please; I beg you! Please let me see her!”
Lee spoke indifferently after he got up. “You better give up on that thought. Today is her engagement with Mason. I will never let you meet her.”
He was not that foolish to give Emily another chance.
Seeing her cowering figure as she retreated backward, Lee smiled and waved to the guards. “Come and tie her up.”
She blanched upon hearing that.

All of you are fcking btches! Go to hell, the lot of you! If you want me to die, let’s die together, Janet! You’re a whre! I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!”
Emily struggled continuously, a distorted and savage expression on her face as her shrill voice echoed bitterly in the underground basement.
At 1 AM in Sandfort City, on the top floor of White Clouds Castle, Emily’s hands were tied as her feet dangled loosely at the edge of the pillar.
Her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, so she could not let produce a single sound.
If she struggled, her lower body would start to swing in an angle that was proportional to her struggling effort.
It seemed like her life was in danger every single second.
When she lowered her head, she almost fainted.
Even though she was not afraid of heights, it was impossible for her to stay calm being hung at the edge of the top floor, with such a great distance from the ground.
Every time she shot a glance downward, tears welled up in her eyes.
In no time, her entire face was covered in tears.
Standing downstairs, Lee started to record a video as he spoke. “Janet, are you satisfied with this result? The ropes we used are quite sturdy—they are specifically used by the MX.”
Sean was speechless upon hearing this.
Standing next to Lee, he frowned helplessly.
I have to give it to Miss Jackson—she’s pretty ruthless.
I did not expect her to treat Emily this way.
Emily’s reputation is completely destroyed because of this. On top of that, this show is being broadcasted to everyone in Sandfort City.
Sean was right. At this moment, there were many cameras on the ground floor aiming at Emily so that everyone in Sandfort City could see her.
On top of that, the cameras were broadcasting the entire incident live online.
Even though Sean thought that Lee was quite ruthless, he did not forget to report to Mason as well. Hence, he patted Lee’s shoulders and said, “Remember to send me a copy of the video.”
The corner of Lee’s lips curved into a smile. “Forget it; I’m shooting from below, so the angle is not that complete. You can look for the live broadcast online.”
The most exciting parts were shot from above.
Even a man would be so terrified that he might wet himself, much less a young woman like Emily.
Soon, Emily’s incident was on the trending page on Twitter again, this time with different hashtags—#Emily, #RevengeOnEmily, and even #EmilyLiveBroadcast.
After clicking into the hashtags, the netizens could be seen passionately discussing this incident online.
‘What the f*ck! Why is Emily on the top floor?’
‘What’s going on? Is she commiting suicide?’
‘I don’t think so. I think someone is taking revenge on her.’
‘What? Taking revenge?’
‘Gosh, that’s even better! Serves her right!’
‘I know, right? If she isn’t a b*tch, who would do this to her on their own accord?’
‘By the way, do you think that Mason is the one who is taking revenge on her?’
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1112
‘Hey, I know who you mean but you better be careful—your account may be suspended.’
‘That’s scary. I’m off!’
On the other side of the world in a five-star hotel in Yobril, a man pushed open the door to the room and hurried inside. Upon seeing the man with his back facing the door, he immediately went up to him. “Mr. President,” he said in a husky and low voice.
Corey turned around to look at him when he heard his voice. “What’s the matter?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe man in black lowered his head and reported, “Something unexpected happened during J’Adore and Mason’s engagement.”
Corey raised his brow and repeated coldly, “Something unexpected?”
“Yes; a woman suddenly showed up at their engagement—” Before the man managed to finish his report, Corey quickly walked to his computer. His fingers danced on the keyboard, producing clicking sounds.
The next instant, a video appeared on the screen—it was the video that was taken at J’Adore and Mason’s engagement. In the video, J’Adore was seen rebuking the woman, who had collapsed to the floor, with an indifferent expression. The video managed to record her voice clearly.
When Corey saw that, a slight frown appeared on his face. His eyes suddenly lit up before he raised his head and asked, “Who is this woman on the floor?”
“She seems to be J’Adore’s younger sister, Emily Jackson.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Younger sister?” Corey furrowed his brows. “Why have I never heard her mention this before?” He muttered coldly while looking at the screen.J’Adore has a younger sister? But that’s impossible. She has never told me that she has one.
The man in black rubbed his chin and he replied, “She is not J’Adore’s biological sister; she was taken in by the Jackson Family by mistake. However, after she was involved in a plagiarism incident, she was kicked out of the family. Maybe she was disgruntled with J’Adore, so she made a fuss during her engagement.” He was unclear of the whole situation as well. While he was speaking, they heard a ding from the computer.
Emily’s retribution
When Corey cast a glance at the computer through the corner of his eye, his eyes immediately brightened and he quickly clicked on the notification. On the screen, a woman was seen hanging from the top floor of a hotel. She was struggling but she could not make any sound as she had a cloth stuffed in her mouth.
The next second, Corey moved the cursor and clicked open the comments section. If he was not mistaken, this was done by J’Adore! In short, Emily had a grudge against J’Adore—a deep grudge, to be exact.
He narrowed his eyes; a curve appeared at the corner of his lips while an unfathomable expression flashed across his gaze. He slowly opened his mouth and ordered, “Get someone to go to Sandfort City and bring me this woman.”
The man in black was a little confused when he heard that. “Mr. President, this—”
Corey coldly instructed, “She must be brought back alive, no matter what.”She can be of great use to me as she may be an important chess piece to take downJ’Adore.
On the other end in the president suite of White Cloud Castle, Janet exited from the bathroom after taking a bath. She walked toward the bed while drying her hair with a towel. Presently, she was dressed in a black shirt—it was a man’s shirt, to be exact. It was loose and baggy on her, not to mention long and large, sparing her the need to wear pants. This resulted in her slender, fair legs being exposed.
The man’s eyes darkened. He directly rose to his full height and walked up the girl, thereafter carrying her in his arms. He brought her to the bed and took over the towel in her hands.
In the process, their hands incidentally touched each other’s. The man’s fingers lightly trailed across the back of her hand, causing her heart to skip a beat and instantly giving her goosebumps. His Adam’s apple bobbed and his voice was hoarse. “Let me dry your hair.”
And so, Janet sat on the man’s lap with her lips pursed. They had their engagement today, so it was only natural for them to spend the night together. However, since he did not mention it, she was too shy to take the lead and seduce him.
The man breathed hot air onto her fair neck. It was warm and numbing, causing her to feel uneasy and successfully arousing her desire. The man, who might have noticed her unusual behavior, swallowed and asked in a husky voice, “Babe… are you thinking about that?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1113
“Don’t you want it?” She looked straight into his eyes.
Mason’s breathing became more rapid. Suppressing his impulse, he shook his head. “I still have some matters to attend to later, and I might need to head out for a while.”
“Is the matter about Emily?”
“Nope.”
Since Mason was able to suppress his urges, it must be a very important matter. Nevertheless. he had no intention to elaborate further, so neither did she want to continue asking. After calming her breath, she shrugged and said, “Alright then.”
She might not have noticed that her tone was tinged with disappointment, but Mason perceived it. Because of that, he laughed and teased her, “You seem quite disappointed that I did not lay my hands on you.”
Feeling awkward upon being exposed, Janet came down from Mason’s lap and denied, “Not at all.”
Mason laughed in spite of himself and couldn’t help but reach out his hand to stroke her nose.
Just then, the phone on the bed rang. After Janet unlocked her phone, the screen displayed a video sent by Lee.
In the video, Emily was hung at the rooftop of White Clouds Mansion. Every time she started struggling, her entire body would sway back and forth like an oscillation. The scene of her hanging upon a thread was a frightening scene.
Together with the video, Lee had left a caption, ‘Are you happy with it, Janet?’
After seeing that, Janet passed the phone for Mason to see. With that, Mason wore an elated look and his eyes were filled with savagery and satisfaction.
Janet looked at him and smiled. “Can you get past it now?”
Mason nodded and hummed in response. Then, he took over her phone and turned off the screen before placing it on the bedside table. Caressing her head, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “You’ve had a long day. Have a goodnight, and we’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”
After going through the trivial formalities while wearing a heavy gown the entire day, Janet was indeed tired. She rubbed her forehead and leaned against Mason.
Moments later, Mason looked at Janet, who was already asleep, and felt sorry for her. He laid her down on the bed and left the room after ensuring that she was sleeping in a comfortable position.
When Mason came out of the room, Sean was already waiting outside. The former pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice, “Is everything ready?”
“Yes,” Sean replied. He then glanced toward the room and said, “Does Miss Jackson…”
Mason shook his head. “I’ve already said this before. That thing shouldn’t appear on her body.”
Sean’s pupils dilated when he heard that. “M-Mr. Lowry, but you shouldn’t do that no matter how much you love Miss Jackson. For many generations, all the Lowry Family’s mistresses had that thing on their body,” he exclaimed.
Mason lifted his eyes and stared at Sean coldly. “Rules are never meant to be kept.”
Rules were never meant to be kept––they were meant to be broken. He would rather bear the pain himself than see her suffer.
“M-Mr. Lowry…”
Before Sean could finish his sentence, Mason frowned as his eyes filled with displeasure. “Shut up or get lost!”
At once, Sean didn’t dare to say anything more and quickly left the room.
In the room, a young man furrowed his brow and asked, “Mr. Lowry, I’d like to make sure you’re decision––”
“There’s no need. I’ve already made up my mind,” Mason blurted without hesitation.
“B-But this is a painful process. Besides that, you’re the head of the Lowry Family…” the young man reminded Mason again.
Mason frowned and said impatiently, “Just stop talking and start working. I want to head back before sunrise.”
Seeing that, the young man sighed and decided to remain silent. Then, the man took out a tube of anesthetic and said, “I’ll stop immediately if you find it unbearable.”
“Okay.”
Mason didn’t feel any pain when the anesthetic was being injected, but when the young man started drawing a tattoo on him, he couldn’t help furrowing his brows.
The tattoo ink used was extraordinary and it would stay on the skin for a lifetime. The only way to remove this tattoo was to peel off the skin. Hence, the process would be extremely painful with the use of this type of ink.
In the past, all mistresses of the Lowry Family had to undergo this ceremony. During the process, many of them would pass out due to the pain even after being partially anesthetized.
At that moment, Mason gritted his teeth and felt like cursing.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1114
Men in Black
What were the male ancestors thinking? How could they bear to let their women endure such a painful process?
For Mason, he couldn’t bear it. A few hours later, a huge piece of a tattoo was drawn on Mason’s back.
There were a variety of patterns intertwined together including animals such as eagles and leopards. It was a breathtaking scene to see.
Due to the fact that Mason had to be seated still for a long time, his body swayed the moment he tried to stand up. He could feel his back burning as if it was scalded by fire.
The young man put down the tools, wiped off his sweat and asked, “Are you okay, Mr. Lowry?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s good. Remember not to let your back get in touch with water for the next week. Do avoid vigorous exercise too.”
“Alright.”
With his shoulders trembling, Mason took his shirt from the couch and put it on.
When he walked out of the room, Sean reached out his hand to support him, but the former frowned and said indifferently, “I’m still able to walk.”
“Okay.” Sean wore a delicate expression.
“By the way, don’t bring this up to her.” Mason knew Janet would be even more worried upon knowing this.
Sean looked toward Mason and replied, “Yes, Mr. Lowry.”
…
At the break of dawn, Janet woke up in a sweat. She dreamt of Mason and Corey. In the dream, Corey was using Mason in some kind of experiment. The last scene of Mason’s pale face was still imprinted in her mind.
The moment she opened her eyes, she found no one beside her. Panic-stricken, she quickly sat up from the bed and was about to go look for Mason. Just then, the door was flung open and a familiar sound of footsteps was heard.
Mason switched on the lights to see Janet sitting on the bed, so he walked over to her. “Hey, good morning.”
Janet lifted her eyes to see him and nodded. “Hey. Where did you go?”
“I had some matters to attend to, but they are settled now.”
“I see.” Janet lowered her voice and said, “I had a dream of you and Corey just now.”
Janet had never told Mason about her dreams before. But today, not only did she have a dream of him, but she even told him about it, so Mason’s interest was piqued. “You dreamt about me?”
He walked over to her carefully and looked slightly unnatural when he sat down by the bed.
Janet crossed her legs and nodded. “I dreamed that Corey used you to perform experiments.” With that, she paused and didn’t continue on about what happened next in the dream.
Smiling, Mason caressed her head and said in resignation, “So, did you wake up from your dream to look for me just now?”
“Mm-hmm,” Janet answered straightforwardly without any disguise. Seeing Mason’s bloodshot eyes, she frowned and asked, “Are you very tired?”
Mason inhaled deeply and buried his head at her neck, behaving like a cute puppy.
Janet then caressed his head and encircled his waist. “Let’s rest together.”
Mason’s breath tightened when Janet touched his back. Noticing something odd, Janet furrowed her brows and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. Let’s get to bed and we shall go see Emily later.”
Mason disguised it so well that Janet didn’t realize a thing and eventually fell asleep in his arms.
…
Meanwhile, a group of Corey’s underlings arrived at White Clouds Mansion upon receiving his order. However, the ground floor was flooded with reporters, so it was impossible for them to rescue Emily in a blaze of publicity.
A man in black took out his phone. “Mr. President, there are reporters all around now. I’m afraid we won’t be able to rescue her in a short time,” he said in a solemn manner.
“When will the reporters leave?”
“I’m not sure, but the woman has already been hanging up there for 2 hours. If we don’t rescue her soon, her life might be endangered.” At this point, her arms might break if she were to be hung for another night. Besides that, she might lose consciousness due to dehydration.
Frowning, Corey commanded coldly, “Wait for another hour. If the reporters have not left by then, you will need to rescue her at all costs.”
“Yes, sir.” With that, the man in black hung up immediately and ordered, “Mr. President has commanded that if the reporters are still around after an hour, we have to rescue her at all costs.”
“Yes, sir,” the others responded unanimously.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1115
The Significance of the Tattoo
It was 4 o’clock in the morning—the time to make a move according to Corey’s command.
Just as the man in black was about to lead the others to come to Emily’s rescue, the reporters started leaving. It had been close to 3 hours, and the reporters had gathered more than enough materials and videos, so they didn’t have to stay there to stream the scene live until the next morning.
The man in black led his men to the rooftop of White Clouds Mansion. The wind was piercing at the rooftop. Emily had already lost her consciousness and had probably passed out.
“What are you waiting for? Quickly, get her down!” the man in black ordered frostily.
Emily’s body was as stiff as a post when the men rescued her. The man in black heaved a sigh of relief when he felt her weak breath at her nose. If it wasn’t that she was still breathing weakly, they would have thought that she had passed away.
“Quickly, bring her back.”
According to Corey’s order, they would be dismissed if Emily died. As such, one could tell that Emily was extremely important to him.
…
In the president suite of White Clouds Mansion, Janet woke up as she felt an increase in the surroundings’ temperature. She wiped off the sweat on her forehead and opened her eyes slowly. Then, she realized the source of the heat was from beside her.
Janet turned around to see Mason, who was sleeping beside her, furrowing his brows deeply while his lips were starting to turn pale. Then, she reached out her hand to feel his forehead.
“Mason!” she bellowed at once.
However, there was no response from Mason.
With her pupils dilated, Janet quickly got up and helped Mason to sit up while the latter moaned. Janet touched his face and panicked. “What happened to you?”
Why does he have a fever all of a sudden? And it seems like he’s suffering from a serious injury.
Without hesitating further, Janet took off Mason’s shirt, hoping that this would help reduce his body temperature. However, she was stunned the moment she took off his shirt.
There was a huge tattoo on Mason’s back. All kinds of animals were surrounding the dragon in the middle, which looked like a king, while the other animals were merely foils.
Without wasting more time, Janet called Sean. “Come over right now.” With that, she hung up immediately.
When Sean arrived at the room, Janet had already applied ointment to Mason’s back while Mason lay on the bed quietly. Even when he was having a fever, his face still looked noble, and his aura was still imposing.
Sean walked up and asked, “How may I help you, Miss Jackson?”
Janet frowned and asked frostily, “What happened to him?”
Looking at Mason who was lying on the bed, Sean pursed his lips and asked without batting an eye, “What do you mean, Miss Jackson?”
“I’m asking you—what’s the tattoo on his back about?”
Hearing that, Sean knew he could not keep it from Janet anymore, so he cleared his throat and replied solemnly, “Just as you’ve seen, the tattoo is a dragon being surrounded by all kinds of animals. The dragon represents the male from the Lowry Family. Every mistress of the Lowry Family must receive this tattoo on the day of engagement. It shows that the mistresses of the Lowry Family are not allowed to betray their husbands at all times. On the other hand, the men from the Lowry Family can only be loyal to their wives.”
Hearing that, Janet finally understood. This tattoo was supposed to be drawn on her, but Mason couldn’t bear to let her undergo such pain, so he endured it on her behalf and tried to keep it from her together with Sean. No wonder he went out in the middle of the night yesterday and came back acting rather weird.
Janet had an indescribable feeling. She pursed her lips and asked, “What’s the difference between this tattoo ink and the ordinary ones?”
From one look, she could already tell that the ink of Mason’s tattoo was different from the usual.
Sean remained silent for a moment and answered in a grave manner, “This ink is much more stimulating than the ordinary inks, so it’s normal that Mr. Lowry would get a fever. This ink that the Lowry Family used can’t be removed from the skin.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1116
“The only way to remove it is to peel off the skin.”
Hearing that, Janet spat out coldly, “They’re insane.” This is the fanatical love of the Lowry Family!
Once the mistresses had this tattoo, they would not be able to remove it. Even if the couple had a divorce, other men would not dare marry the mistresses upon seeing the tattoo on their backs. No wonder she was the only one whom Old Madam Lowry had acknowledged from the start. Janet was speechless as she couldn’t decide whether she was lucky or not.
Just then, Mason who was still on the bed slowly opened his eyes. Apparently, he had overheard their conversation just now.
“Babe…” Mason muttered.
Janet lowered her gaze to Mason and held his hands tight. She was still stirred deep down despite her cold expression. “How are you feeling, Mason?”
Mason’s lips were still pale, but he managed to put on a smile and shook his head. “I’m fine now.” Then, he turned around to look at Sean and asked, “So you’ve told her everything?”
Hearing that, Sean immediately lowered his head and apologized in a gloomy manner, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lowry.”
Janet glanced at Sean and said, “You may be excused for now.”
“Yes, Miss Jackson.”
As such, only Janet and Mason were left in the room. Janet gazed at Mason, who was on the bed, and frowned as displeasure spread across her face. “All men in the Lowry Family are insane.” It’s now the 21st century for crying out loud. Yet, they’re still using tattoos as a way to call dibs on women? How childish!
“Babe, I…” Mason was at a loss for words. Holding Janet’s hands, he said in a panic, “I don’t mean to tie you down with this tattoo. I got this willingly. Besides, everyone else will be reminded that I’m a married man upon seeing this tattoo, so no one will dare to mess around with me.”
He loved her, and he had the confidence to continue loving her. This tattoo was not a means to tie her down. Its purpose was just to serve as a ceremonial act. Because only by doing so, he could be assured that she belonged to him—only him—starting from yesterday.
Janet pursed her lips and did not respond. Because of that, Mason got anxious and wanted to get up.
Janet quickly pressed him down on the bed and said nonchalantly, “I understand your intention. It’s just—I could feel the pain.”
She was not blaming him, but she felt her heart wrench seeing the pain that he had undergone. If there was a choice, she would rather not let him endure this on behalf of her.
Mason was gratified to hear that. He lifted his head and asked gently, “Babe, you’re not blaming me but you’re feeling sorry for me, aren’t you?”
“Rest on the bed! You’re not allowed to get up!” Janet ordered in annoyance.
However, Mason was stubborn and decided to ask again, “Babe, you feel sorry for me, don’t you?”
“Is that even a question?” Janet glared at him and felt amused.
Mason couldn’t be bothered about the injury on his back and hugged Janet agitatedly. “Babe… I don’t think I’m stupid or insane. It’s worth doing so for your sake,” he mumbled beside her ear.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps emerged from the outside. Janet and Mason looked toward the door to see Lee walking in.
Janet glanced at him and asked, “What’s up?”
“Emily is gone.”
Janet raised her brows hearing that, and her curiosity was piqued. “Did she manage to escape?”
Lee nodded. “I’ve gone to observe the scene. If my guess isn’t wrong, she was most probably rescued by Gerry.”
Janet had not met Gerry before but had heard of him. The Davidson Family had specially requested two seats in the banquet this time.
“Gerry? The Young Master of the Davidson Family?”
“Yeah. Last night, Emily revealed that Gerry gave her an invitation card to the banquet.”
Lee told Janet the news that Emily unintentionally revealed to him. Janet reckoned there must be something going on between Gerry and Emily. That’s the only plausible explanation that Gerry would give her the invitation or even rescue her.
After hearing the story, Janet tutted and sighed. “Emily sure is lucky.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1117
I Hate Her as Much as You Do
Lee narrowed his eyes and said, “I reckon her arms are broken after being hung on the roof for close to 4 hours.”
“Broken arms are nothing.” Mason gritted his teeth as his handsome face turned menacing. “I’m not letting her off,” he hissed coldly.
Only then Lee noticed Mason was on the bed. He adjusted his glasses and looked at Janet. “Shall I track her down?” he asked.
Pursing her lips, Janet lifted a brow and said nonchalantly, “Sure. Whether it’s just her arms or her head, I must see her.”
Ever since last night, her desire to see Emily die had not changed. However, little did she expect that Emily would be gone within a night. She escaped pretty fast.
…
Meanwhile, in a basement in Yobril, a woman who looked agonized was lying on a bed with her eyes closed.
“How is she, doctor?” a man who was wearing gold-framed glasses while dressed in a black blouse asked.
In his white coat, the doctor answered solemnly, “Her hands were tied up for too long and have turned blue due to the lack of blood circulation. They might not be able to return to their original state.”
Corey narrowed his eyes to look at the woman on the bed and hummed in a low voice, “I see.”
As long as she was still alive, the experiment could be carried out as usual. Even if Emily lost both her arms, his plans would not impede.
After some time, Emily finally woke up. Opening her eyes slightly, she wanted to use her hand to shade her eyes from the light but she couldn’t muster any strength at all. Then, she quickly glanced around her surroundings. A dingy basement?
Emily’s first instinct was that Janet had locked her up again. At once, she was filled with fear and rage. “Let go of me, Janet you b*tch!” she screamed.
Corey was elated to hear her voice. Immediately, he quickly opened the door and walked in.
Seeing the tall foreign man in front of her, Emily shrank backward and stared at him in horror. “W-Who are you? Where am I? What do you want?”
Corey said calmly, “Calm down. Take a good look at who I am.”
He had shown up at Mason’s 26th birthday banquet before, so the citizens of Sandfort City should be able to recognize him. Moreover, Emily had always deemed Janet as an enemy, so she could definitely recognize him.
Emily shook her head and seemed to be out of her mind. “No, no. I don’t know you. Let go of me! Janet you btch! Why do you have to treat me like this?! YOU’LL GO TO HELL, BTCH!”
Perceiving that Emily was losing control, Corey quickly walked up and held her shoulders. “You’ll definitely know me since you know Janet. Take a closer look at me.”
Emily couldn’t retreat anymore, so she could only lift her head to look at the man in front of her. Sure enough, she recognized him in no time.
“Y-You’re the president of Markovia?”
Corey nodded as his green eyes were filled with agitation. “Yes, it’s me.”
Hearing that, Emily freaked out as if she had seen some monster. “Get lost! Don’t touch me. Don’t touch me!” she bawled.
This guy has appeared at Mason’s 26th birthday banquet before and he seems to be quite close with Janet. He’s from the same gang as Janet. Why is it Janet’s companion again?! Why can’t I break away from this b*tch no matter where I go?!
“You’re from the same gang as Janet! Don’t touch me! Go away!”
“Hey, calm down.” Corey gritted his teeth and grabbed Emily’s shoulders forcefully. “I hate Janet just as much as you do! We’re in the same boat!”
Emily regained her composure instantly when she heard the loud and hoarse voice.
The president of Markovia actually hates Janet as much as I do? He’s actually in the same boat as me? How is this possible?
“Aren’t you guys quite close?” Emily looked at Corey with her guard still up. “Besides, if I remember correctly, you’ve even attended the 26th birthday banquet of Janet’s fiancé!”
Emily immediately went straight to the point.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1118
A Huge Blow
She was not that foolish to trust her enemy’s friend!
Corey narrowed his eyes and felt remorse as he recalled the past. He nodded and said, “Janet and I were close once, but she abandoned our relationship for the sake of her fiancé. Now, she’s trying to search for me all around the world just to kill me.”
Corey got even more agitated as he continued. His eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his fists. “If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t end up being in Yobril.”
He was the president of Markovia, but he actually ended up being in Yobril to evade a young lady. He would become a laughing stock if this was made known to the presidents of the other countries!
Emily’s doubt subsided a little when she saw Corey’s ferocious expression. “Did you say we’re at Yobril?”
“Yes. You’re in my secret basement now—a place Janet will never be able to find.”
Perceiving the sincere tone of Corey and seeing how his eyes were filled with hatred toward Janet just like herself, Emily started wavering. Clenching her fists, she narrowed her eyes and questioned Corey resentfully. “Then why did you abduct me here?”
Hearing that, Corey laughed. “I didn’t abduct you—I rescued you. I know Janet well. She’s vengeful and would surely come after you since you ruined her wedding ceremony. If you didn’t escape tonight, you wouldn’t be able to live to see tomorrow,” he croaked.
Emily’s eyes glistened. She was well aware of Janet’s vengeful personality too. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be in her current state today. The scene of her being hung at the rooftop of White Clouds Mansion was streamed live in the city. Now that everyone in Sandfort City could recognize her, she was too embarrassed to go back. There was nowhere she could stay in Sandfort City now.
Even Megan and Brian have not pleaded on behalf of me! How can these people be so cruel?! Why do they have to be so merciless to me?! The more Emily thought about it, the more she couldn’t control her tears. In no time, her cheeks were drenched.
Emily wanted to lift her hand to wipe off her tears, but she realized she couldn’t…
Stunned, Emily felt her blood froze as she looked at her hands with a hideous expression. “My hands…”
What’s going on? At this time, she could only clench her fists but couldn’t lift her hands.
“Your arms are broken,” Corey reminded her.
When she heard that, Emily felt as if there was a knife being placed at her throat and she couldn’t make any sound. Are my arms actually broken?
The nimble arms that she was once proud of were now broken! She might even have difficulty living a normal life in the future, let alone playing piano and drawing! How could this happen?
Emily almost passed out as she couldn’t take the blow.
Corey pursed his lips and cooed, “Miss Emily Jackson, what happened already happened, and there’s nothing you can do about it anymore. As for now, you can continue staying here. I know a doctor who might be able to help you recuperate.”
When Emily heard that, her eyes became bloodshot while her blood vessels could be visibly seen on her temples. She used to be able to play the piano or draw with her nimble fingers; now, she could only live a normal life through rehabilitation.
Why?! Why am I in such a state? It’s all because of Janet! It’s all her fault!
“Janet Jackson!” Emily screamed hysterically. “I will never let you off!”
Seeing Emily in such a crazy state, Corey was actually pleased for some reason. After all, the more Emily hated Janet, the more likely she would agree to his request. As such, he chimed in, “I hate their guts just like you. If we collaborate, we’ll surely be able to trample them beneath our feet. Now, it’s only up to you to decide whether you’re willing to or not.”
Hearing that, Emily lifted her face which was covered with tears and asked coldly, “So, you rescued me so that you can use me?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1119
Corey shook his head while a sly look crept up his face. “There’s a better way to put it—mutualism.”
“As soon as J’Adore is eliminated, I’ll be able to return to Markovia. In return, I’ll give you everything you want.”
Hearing that, Emily painstakingly closed her eyes before saying, “I don’t mind not having anything as long as Janet is gone.”
Her hands were ruined, so she felt that playing the piano and drawing were no longer realistic dreams to her. Now, all she hoped for was to have Janet die right before her eyes.
Corey then squinted his eyes while keeping the smirk on his lips. “Are you willing to do anything in order to get rid of J’Adore?”
“Yes,” Emily answered without any expression on her face.
“Okay. As long as you cooperate with me, I will ensure that your wish comes true.”
…
Meanwhile, on the other side. The ‘Jason’ and ‘Madore’ couples’ wedding was broadcast live globally. In the Fuller’s office, Sheldon’s gaze was locked on the woman displayed on the screen. With his fists clenched tight, he put on a stiff expression.
Janet Jackson is the famous J’Adore? And she already has a boyfriend? No—to be exact, a fiance! No wonder she had been so cold toward him.
At that moment, it wasn’t easy for him to accept the truth. As his eyes were trained on her person on the screen, he got lost in a trance. He was lost to the point that he didn’t even hear the string of knocks on his door that came from outside.
Just then, Melissa slowly pushed the door open. Hearing the sound from inside, she was stunned for a split second. It’s the video broadcast of ‘Jason’ and ‘Madore’. Melissa was well aware of the video as she had already seen it.
Seeing how the man before her was stumped, she could roughly tell what was going on. Then, she tentatively said, “Mr. Fuller.”
However, no reply was obtained. Hence, she decided to call him again, but in a louder and firmer tone. “Mr. Fuller.”
Only then, a reaction was obtained from the person in the office chair. As soon as he looked up to see Melissa, he quickly turned this computer’s display off. He then asked, “Miss Rocher, what can I help you with?”
Pursing her lips, she walked closer and stopped when she was standing directly opposite him. “What video were you watching that got you so immersed in it?”
Sheldon was quick to conceal his expression as he wanted to avoid that question. “My apologies. I didn’t hear you knocking on my door earlier. May I know what it is that I can help you with?”
“I’ve completed the task given by Mr. Hills.”
As soon as he heard that, his upsetness from before vanished into thin air. In fact, he even got a little excited as he asked, “Miss Rocher, do you mean you’ve completed the billion dollar order?”
Nodding her head, she replied, “Correct.”
“Excellent.” He truly didn’t expect that she would be able to complete an order worth a billion in under a month’s time. That piqued his curiosity as to what the order was about. Thus, he asked, “Right, the project has ended but you have yet to tell me what it was about.”
At this moment, her fingers trembled slightly as she pursed her lips. “I’m not just here to update you on the progress of the order, but to also fill you in on its content.”
“Sure, go ahead.” He sat upright as he said that, showing interest in what she was about to tell him.
“Mr. Fuller, this project holds the reputation of the Rocher Family and the Fuller Corporation.” She paused briefly before continuing, “Thus, I hope that you can keep it a secret. Aside from me and you, nobody else can know about it.”
Seeing her serious expression made him feel that this might be more complicated than he thought. At this point, his expression was a little stiff and his demeanor turned cold. “Go on.”
Squinting her eyes slightly, she said in a serious tone, “This order’s project is a virus experiment.”
“I-Isn’t that normal?” He questioned.
“No.” Shaking her head, she explained, “The subject of the virus experiment is humans.”
Upon hearing that, he stood up almost immediately. In a rage, the green veins on his forehead became eminent as he slammed his palms on the table. He growled, “Melissa Rocher, are you mad?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1120
Although Sheldon might not be very well-versed in the medical field, he knew of the dangers of such a virus. If the virus was used on human beings, it could be easily utilized to commit evil doings. When that happened, there would be a global revolt.
As Melissa had never seen him so angry, she was so shocked that she took a few steps back. Before she could say a word, he gave her an order. “Destroy the virus.”
Taking a deep breath, she answered, “There’s no use.”
“What did you say?”
“The virus strain has already been handed over to the client. It cannot be destroyed.”
After he heard that, his eyes turned colder than before as if there was a snowstorm in them. His icy cold stare was making Melissa flustered. As she was anxious, she quickly explained, “Mr. Fuller, I will not conduct any experiments on viruses anymore.”
“Madness. This is madness!” Sheldon directly pointed at Melissa and yelled in rage, “You’re mad!”
“I’m not mad.” She then said coldly, “I have no choice. I can’t let the Rocher Family’s reputation go to ruins in my hands! After completing this order, nobody else will dare say such.”
Needless to say, he knew what she was referring to. He knew that she was not content after losing to Janet in the International Medical Competition for Novice. That was what pushed her into accepting the billion-dollar order, disregarding the consequences. It was to prove herself. However, she used the wrong method to do so.
“I cannot keep this matter to myself.” His lips trembled as he suppressed the fury in his heart.
“No, Mr. Fuller. You have to keep it a secret. The virus has already been delivered and we cannot get it back. If you were to reveal this to the public, it would lead to a revolt in the medical field—worse, it could cause a global revolt.”
Global revolt! Nobody would want an outcome as such. His lips continued to tremble. It seemed that he wanted to say something, yet he couldn’t find the words.
Seeing that he seemed a little shaken, she continued to persuade him. “I secretly kept a portion of the antidote for the virus. It will be fine.”
Sheldon kept his eyes shut for a while as he sank into deep thoughts. After a while, he said, “Promise me that you will never conduct any more experiments on viruses. Otherwise, I will not let it slide despite your collaboration with Fuller Corporation.”
As soon as Melissa heard that, her tight grip on her office wear finally loosened as she answered, “Alright.”
…
Back in Sandfort City, in the Lowry Residence.
Looking at the man lying in bed, Old Madam Lowry chuckled. Pursing her lips, Janet looked up before asking, “Grandma, what are you laughing about?”
Pointing behind her, Old Madam Lowry said meaningfully, “This young man really does love you.” Although she knew that Mason loved Janet, she didn’t expect that he’d get the tattoo on her behalf.
Hearing that, Janet simply raised a brow without saying anything.
At this moment, a cell phone that was placed on the bedside table rang. Seeing that, Old Madam Lowry left the room.
“Hello.” A cold voice of a woman could be heard.
From the other end of the line came a familiar man’s voice. “I did some investigation and found out that it wasn’t the Davidsons who took Emily away.”
“If it wasn’t him, then who did it?” Janet raised her brows.
After a brief pause, the man continued, “I took a look at the CCTV footage of the White Clouds Mansion Hotel and saw a few men in black. Those men left Sandfort with Emily in a private plane.”
In those words, Janet was particularly concerned about the mention of a private plane. It didn’t occur to her that Emily was so popular. At once, it piqued her interest. With a smirk, she asked, “Where to?”
Lee said, “They went to Yobril.”
Yobril? Emily was brought to Yobril? To be able to transport Emily from Sandfort to Yobril, the person must be someone with a powerful background. The first person who came to Janet’s mind was Hazel Fuller of Yobril. After all, Hazel had a close relationship with Emily. Of course, that was before the World Piano Competition.
However, if it wasn’t Hazel, then it must be someone else. Nonetheless, why would the person save Emily?
