Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1121
There Was Only One Person
As Janet’s thoughts were in a bit of a mess, she furrowed her brows before asking, “Aside from that she’s in Yobril, did you find anything else?”
“That’s all that I got. Her transportation details were highly confidential.”
To be untraceable, even by the MX—only one person was capable of doing so. Corey Hills!
It just proved her initial guess right. However, the situation was rather strange. Why would Corey save Emily? Simply to go up against Janet herself? She had a hunch that it wasn’t that simple.
As Lee didn’t hear any response, he asked, “Janet, are you thinking of the same person that I’m thinking?”
“You’re guessing it’s him too?”
Lee said nonchalantly, “Yes.”
Prior to her engagement, she was thinking of catching that person after that. Now that the engagement party is over, it was time to wrap up.
She raised her brows before her eyes turned into thin slits as she said, “We’ll make a trip to Yobril in a few days’ time.”
“Understood.”
Hearing the end of the sentence, she hung up the phone.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. To avoid disturbing the man who was sound asleep on the bed, she stood up to leave the room. The moment she opened the door, she was met with the maid who knocked on the door earlier. Frowning, Janet asked, “What is it?”
The maid then answered in a low and respectful tone, “Ma’am, people from the Jackson Family are here. I saw that they were your parents, so I let them in. They’re waiting for you in the living room. Would you like to meet them?”
After hesitating for a moment, Janet gently closed the door of the master bedroom before answering the maid, “Sure, I’ll head there now.”
In the living room on the first floor, Brian and Megan were seated in a reserved manner.
After contemplation, they finally mustered the courage to ask, “Janet, how is it that you’re J’Adore?” Not to mention, she had something going on with Mason.
At this moment, Janet dismissed all the maids on the first floor.
After all the maids in the living room had dispersed, and there were only the three of them left, Janet finally explained, “Three years ago, I got to know someone important in Markovia. He was the one who taught me everything—including the MX. In fact, he was also the one who helped me to build it.”
The way she calmly narrated the story made Megan feel uneasy. What exactly had she undergone to be able to speak about her experience so calmly?
“Janet, do you want to tell me about the things you went through?” Megan pleaded.
Without any expression, Janet replied, “I don’t wish to talk about it anymore.” Things that had passed were no longer important.
“Alright, alright. If you do not wish to talk about it, we won’t bring it up again in the future.” As Megan said that, she reached out, wanting to hold Janet’s hand.
Janet briefly raised her brow as she disdainfully avoided her mother’s gesture. Then, she looked up at her parents. “Are you two here to plead for Emily today? If that’s the case, I’m afraid that I have no idea as to where she is currently.”
“No.” Brian shook his head in denial. “Janet, your mom and I are here because we’re concerned about you.”
As Janet wasn’t used to such honest confessions, she stood up with an expressionless face. “Sure. Since you’ve seen me already, you can go back now.”
“Janet,” Megan called out to her.
At once, Janet stopped in her tracks without turning back. With her back facing them, she said, “Let me know when Grandma Jade comes back. If there isn’t anything else, don’t come here again.”
Her voice was tinged with coldness as she said those words in a firm manner.
Upon hearing that, Megan lowered her head.
Meeting them again this time, Janet didn’t even bother to question or blame them. She neither questioned Megan why she treated Emily so well, nor did she complain about being treated badly by her. At that moment, all she could feel was the distance between them. It seemed that Janet was completely disappointed. That was why she didn’t bother to bring up the past.
Recalling things that she had done, whether it be a sarcastic remark or an eye roll, Megan couldn’t help but feel that she was inhumane. Leaning on Brian’s shoulder, she buried her face as she wept. “Honey, what do I have to do to get Janet to forgive me?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1122
I Want to Eat Sweets
Looking at Janet’s determined back figure, Brian couldn’t help but feel a little upset. From the way she asked about Grandma Jade, he knew that she was not initially a cold-hearted person. As to why Janet acted so distant toward them, it was their own doings. At this point, they could only try to make it up to her gradually. It was what they had owed her.
By the time Janet was back in the bedroom, she saw that Mason was getting up from the bed.
“Lie down!” Immediately, she chastised him as she walked to his side.
Mason was sitting upright on the edge of the bed and his mesmerizing doe eyes didn’t sparkle like they used to. Currently, his eyes were droopy as he gave her a piteous look. “I was looking for you. Where did you go?”
Seeing how aggrieved he was, she couldn’t help but feel her heart soften. “Where can I go?”
“Let me see. Is your fever getting better?” As she asked, she reached out to touch his forehead. It was still quite warm. Thus, he still needed antipyretics.
“Babe.” He held her hand that was reaching for the phone before saying, “Don’t worry. I’m already better.”
With a frown, she gently slapped his hand off before refuting unhappily. “What are you talking about? You’re still having a fever.”
It didn’t take long before the bedroom door was knocked on. The maid had brought the antipyretic medicine over.
Just as Janet was about to stand up to get the medicine, Mason wrapped his arms around her waist like a child throwing a tantrum. His grip on her was tight and firm as if he wouldn’t let her go no matter what.
Left with no choice, she could only gesture for the maid to leave the medicine on the table.
Tsk-tsk, will you look at that? The usually stoic and serious Mr. Lowry is acting like a child when he has a fever. How childish!
Seeing that, she didn’t know how to react. Nonetheless, she could guess that she would have acted similarly when she was drunk. He was always the one who took care of her. Now, it was one of the rare chances for him to rely on her. Although she didn’t like the idea of being a babysitter, for some reason, she quite liked how she felt now.
“Bring me an ice pack,” she said blandly while glancing at the maid.
Hearing that, the maid nodded before heading downstairs to retrieve the ice pack.
As Mason rarely caught fevers, the times that he’d get to be taken care of were close to none. Now that he had experienced being taken care of by Janet, he secretly wished that he could stay sick longer.
“Eat the medicine,” she ordered as she helped to pull him up.
Looking at the medicine in front of him, he hesitated for a moment before taking it over. The moment it was put into his mouth, he could taste a slight bitterness, but it wasn’t horrible.
Looking at his reaction, she asked curiously, “Is it bitter?”
At this moment, he pouted and gave her a piteous look again. “Very.”
Hearing his answer, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Her eyes crinkled as she teased, “This kind of medicine is at most just slightly bitter.”
Despite getting his cover blown, he still insisted. “It’s very bitter. I don’t care. I want to eat sweets.”
“Sweets?” She pursed her lips before she continued, “Where––”
Before she could say another word, her vision suddenly turned blurry. Just then, her lips were sealed with Mason’s. Though she knew that he was just putting up an act, she still felt bad for him. After all, people with fever would typically spend a few days sleeping it away as they recovered.
Therefore, she didn’t bother to resist him. She let him kiss her as he pleased before she asked, “Do you like your sweets?”
“I love it. It’s very sweet.” His eyes crinkled as a smile adorned his lips. It seemed that he could have more of it even.
At this moment, his deep, attractive eyes were beaming at her. With that, her cheeks turned a shade of pink as she prepared to get up to refill some water.
As she was about to stand up, the maid entered the room.
“Ma’am.” The maid placed the ice pack and a bowl of porridge on the table. She then said courteously, “As ordered by Old Madam Lowry, I prepared a bowl of porridge for Young Master. I’ll leave it here.”
A frown had formed on Mason’s forehead as his face remained expressionless. Meanwhile, Janet offered a smile as she acknowledged. “Alright.”
“Old Madam Lowry had also asked the kitchen staff to prepare your favorite dishes. Would you like to come down and eat?” In this instance, the maid was speaking to Janet.
Picking up the bowl on the table, Janet replied, “No. You can tell Old Madam Lowry to go ahead with her meal first. I’ll head downstairs later.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1123
Nightmare
The maid was surprised that the man who controlled the economy of Asia was acting like a kid toward a woman. The way he obediently opened his mouth was opposingly different from the high-up, untouchable Young Master Lowry that he usually was. Seeing that, the maid quickly left the room with a smile.
“Open your mouth.” Janet scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it near his mouth.
At this moment, Mason was staring at the bowl of porridge––to be more accurate, the woman before him. Currently, she was gently blowing on the porridge to let it cool off slightly.
He didn’t know whether the porridge was indeed cooled off, but he knew that he was getting hotter. Just like that, he ate up the bowl of porridge one spoon after another. By the time the bowl was empty, he only felt hotter than ever.
With his gaze trained on her, he tried to conceal his thoughts to himself. “I feel a little hot. Can I shower?” When he said that, he purposely emphasized the word ‘hot’.
“No way. You can only shower when your fever is gone.”
“But I feel sticky…” With his droopy eyes, his pitious look seemed extra convincing. As someone who had always prioritized cleanliness and would always shower at least twice a day, not showering for two days must be horrible for him.
“I’ll help wipe your body then.”
“Thank you, Babe.”
As she made a beeline to the bathroom, she could hear him grumbling nonstop, making her feel like laughing and weeping at the same time.
…
Only a few minutes had passed, yet the conversation that took place in the dimly-lit room was getting more and more scandalous.
“Babe, wipe here too.”
“No, I can’t do that.”
“You can, Babe. If you don’t, I’ll feel sticky here too…”
“You have hands. Wipe it yourself.”
“Babe, I can’t see. You’ll wipe it better since you have a clearer view.”
At last, she still couldn’t avoid it. Her hands were getting so warm that it no longer felt like her own. However, it wasn’t too bad. After she was done wiping his body, he had fallen asleep.
Thank goodness. At least she didn’t have to endure the awkwardness and look him in the eye.
After taking care of Mason for the whole night, she felt sticky too. Thus, she undressed and went into the bathroom. After sitting in the bathtub for a short while, she closed her eyes and began to rest. She didn’t know why but she felt that her energy was more depleted these few days.
Although Emily had left Sandfort, she still felt uneasy. It felt as if something was about to happen. Under the current circumstance where Corey was in the dark and she was out in the open, she was bound to lose the upper hand.
If they were to fight face-to-face, Corey would’ve lost and died over a thousand times. However, Corey was a tactful man who was ruthless. He must be scheming something if he had brought Emily over to Yobril.
…
A nightmare came to haunt Janet. She dreamt that there was a large laceration across Mason’s face. Blood was flowing down his face from the wound until it dripped off his chin.
In her dream, his face was pale and he was lying on the bed with a face mask on. She was looking at him from outside the door. The hallway was filled with people.
People of the Lowry Family.
People of the Lowry Family Conglomerate.
People of the Hawke Kingdom.
They seemed to be waiting anxiously for something. Everyone was standing in a circle, and she could not hear what the men were saying clearly. The scene in the dream was changing nonstop. Gradually, the man’s breathing came to a stop.
The entire Sandfort––even the whole world had started to undergo an immense change. All of the changes happened because of his passing.
As for her, her days standing at the top were boring and lifeless. A life without a trace of color. Why would the life of boundless darkness enter her dreams?
She rarely had dreams. If she were to count the number of times she had them, she could do so simply with the fingers on her hand. However, she had dreamt of this dream about Mason for the second time now. Were the dreams hinting at something?
Not daring to overthink, she pinched her thumb to force herself to wake up from the dream. When she woke up, the first thing she registered was that she was lying on the familiar big bed. The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with a beautiful man’s face.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1124
You Need Me Too
She reached out and found that it was actually warm.
Mason saw her dazed expression and asked, “Babe, why’d you fall asleep in the bathtub?”
“What time is it?” Janet got up halfway but didn’t answer his question and simply picked up the phone beside her before glancing at it.
6.00AM. It’s 6.00AM. She had really fallen asleep in the bathtub last night.
“Are you feeling better?” Restraining herself, Janet reached out to touch Mason’s forehead. “Let me see if it’s still hot.”
Mason took her hand and secretly kissed it. “Are you done checking?”
“It’s not hot to the touch, but we’ll only know the actual temperature after measuring it,” Janet said solemnly while looking at him.
The man’s lips curled up and he chuckled. His beautiful eyes became charming again as he answered, “You’ll find out in a moment whether or not I’ve recovered. There’s no need to take my temperature.” After saying that, he took her hand and slowly placed it on his chest.
Then, he started shifting her hand downward to make her feel his…
Janet was speechless. “Don’t be a rascal.” She nudged his shoulder.
Mason let out a small laugh as he held her hand and said seriously, “Babe, before this, we said that after the engagement party, we’d go to Yobril together. Now that the engagement party is over, should we plan our trip to Yobril?”
It went without saying that Janet understood what he meant. The faster the President was killed, the earlier they would feel at ease. However, she didn’t expect that that day would come so soon. Unsure whether it was because of the dream just now, she suddenly felt like there was a huge lump in her throat.
“Mason, maybe it’s better if you don’t go.”
A frown appeared on Mason’s handsome face, and his voice was suddenly cold as he asked, “Why not, Babe?”
Janet didn’t expect Mason’s reaction to be so big, so she was a little flustered. “You should stay here because the Lowry Family needs you, and so does the Lowry Family Conglomerate. I can handle Yobril’s affairs. So how about you stay in Sandfort City and wait for me to come back?”
When she said the last sentence, she was almost begging him. She had to say that, because she couldn’t possibly tell him that what she had just dreamt of was making her worried. Dreams were just dreams, and they might not necessarily come true. Nevertheless, she didn’t dare to take the risk.
“No, Babe.” Mason shook his head. At this moment, his eyes were no longer charming, and he was almost scrutinizing her instead. “That’s not what you said last time. You said that no matter what, we have to bear it together. You said that no matter what, we must be together. You said all that…” The man studied her, feeling puzzled. “But why are you changing your mind now?”
Taking a deep breath, Janet slowly closed her eyes. She didn’t dare look him in the eyes. It was as if she could see the blood on his handsome face just by looking at him.
“Babe, is it because you’re afraid that I’ll drag you down?” The man pressed on as he fixed his gaze on her.
Janet slowly opened her eyes, which had suddenly turned cold, and she emitted a sense of alienation. “No.” Her voice was as cold as an ice cellar. “I told you why. You should stay in Sandfort City because the Lowry Family and the Lowry Family Conglomerate need you.”
Mason’s lips twitched slightly. “But you need me too.”
The man’s voice was soft, but it was like a sharp blade stabbing straight into Janet’s heart. A sore and painful sensation exploded in her heart, almost suffocating her. She realized that the part of her that had always been strong was slowly disintegrating. In front of this man, she was like a newborn baby.
“Babe, if you still insist on your plan, then neither of us are going.”
She was aware of how stubborn he was. Once he decided on something, he would never look back. Hence, he must also have a way to prevent her from going to Yobril.
Janet took a deep breath. Since there was no escape, she could only face it calmly. She stared into the man’s eyes and said softly, “Okay, let’s go together.”
As soon as she said that, Mason wrapped his arms around her waist, then rested his head on her shoulder. His next words were clear, profound, and shocking. “Babe, don’t forget—we are one.”

Delete Those Tweets
From the moment he got the tattoo, he had made up his mind that no matter what happened, and no matter where they went, the two of them would never be separated.
…….
Feeling a little emotional, Mason and Janet hugged each other for a while before letting go.
“Let’s go downstairs for breakfast.”
He touched her cheek and pinched it angrily.
He was angry because of what she had just said.
It had truly enraged him.
Looking at him, Janet raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Don’t be angry.”
“I’ll settle this grudge with you after it’s done.”
Holding onto her waist, he was filled with a strong sense of aggression.
Janet didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She placed her arms around his waist too and hugged him as they went downstairs.
This time, the two of them had already discussed it and decided that they would go to Yobril the day after tomorrow.
These days, Janet hadn’t been going to the university, so she was behind on a lot of experiments and assignments, which was why she wanted to go back to finish the experiments in the next few days.
Mason, on the other hand, planned to return to the Lowry Family Conglomerate to deal with the business that was delayed due to their engagement.
This time, they almost mobilized half of the MX and the Lowry Family for this mission.
At around 7.30AM, Old Madam Lowry yawned and looked around while seated at the dining table. “Why hasn’t Mason and Janet come down yet?”
If I remember correctly, Janet hasn’t eaten anything since last night.
What if she’s starving?
Old Madam Lowry beckoned the servant over and motioned for her to get the couple.
But as soon as the servant took a step forward, the couple came down from the second floor, with Mason’s arms wrapped around Janet’s waist.
“Janet, you’re finally here!” Old Madam Lowry’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up.
Janet’s lips curled up. “Grandma, just stay seated.”
“Janet, you haven’t eaten anything since last night. I’m just worried about you.”
Janet shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”
Yesterday, she had said that she was going to come down for dinner, but she got so busy that she forgot.
Moreover, when she saw how much Mason was suffering, she had completely lost her appetite.
Old Madam Lowry’s expression seemed to indicate that she had seen through her excuse. “Hmph. You must’ve forgotten to eat because you were taking care of Mason. Actually, you can let our servants take care of him.” Old Madam Lowry cast Mason a sideway glance.
Upon hearing this, Mason sighed, while Janet didn’t know how to react.
After getting to know Mason, she felt like nothing much had changed except for the fact that she now had a ‘grandmother’.
Old Madam Lowry took care of her as much as Jade did.
Mason suddenly spoke. “Grandma, Janet and I are going to Yobril in two days. If anything comes up, just give me a call, and I’ll get Sean to arrange someone to help you.”
Old Madam Lowry blinked. “Yobril? Is it for something dangerous again?”
If it was something dangerous, she wouldn’t agree to it.
Janet smiled and said, “No. It’s just for a small matter. Don’t worry.”
Looking at the smiling girl in front of her, she felt relieved and nodded. “Okay, that’s good.”
…
After the engagement party, everyone at Woodsbury University found out that Janet was J’Adore.
Even some students who didn’t watch the live broadcast knew about it because of the heated discussions surrounding the event.
“You know that Janet is the famous J’Adore, right?”
“I knew it a long time ago! She’s trending all over Twitter now, and it’s been like that for many days.”
“Oh, my God. I’ve never scolded Janet because of J’Adore, have I?”
“Ah! I scolded Janet before because of the ‘Jason’ couple fans, and my tweet is still on Twitter.”
“F*ck. Hurry up and delete it!”
“Yeah! Aren’t you afraid that Janet would recognize you?”
“I’ll delete it now! I am afraid!”
Those who had scolded Janet before because they were fans of Mason and J’Adore were now trembling together while deleting their tweets in the corner.
“Damn it. I got banned from Twitter because I got too reported!”
“Sh*t, you got banned? Does this mean Janet saw those tweets?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1126
My Dear Wife
“The MX won’t investigate me, right?”
“Sh*t. I’m dead meat. Being targeted by the MX would be terrifying!”
“But they can’t blame me for that. I didn’t even know Janet was J’Adore back then!”
“That’s right. You scolded Janet to defend J’Adore, so it shouldn’t matter, right?”
“Yes, yes. They’re the same person anyway.”
The group of people had been in a state of panic for several days, fearing that Janet would find them through their IP addresses.
In addition to these people who were afraid of being punished by Janet, there were also a group of people who were joining in on the drama—for example, the students from the medical school.
“Turns out that Janet is J’Adore. No wonder she didn’t attend the ‘Jason’ couple’s engagement party as a guest!”
“That’s right. I asked Janet about it before, and she even told me that she wasn’t invited. Turns out she’s J’Adore herself!”
“Janet is too mischievous!”
“Being mischievous is one thing. I was so surprised when I found out the truth!”
“Yeah. It’s simply too exciting.”
“But is the woman who appeared at Janet’s engagement party called Emily?”
“Emily? That’s right. That’s her. She probably exposed this because she was jealous of Janet, but she ended up slapping herself in the face instead.”
“But it was terrifying when Emily was dangled from the top floor of the White Clouds Mansion.”
“Well, she brought it onto herself anyway.”
“That’s right. To whoever dares to bully Janet in the future, Emily’s outcome is the best example.”
Madelaine, who was passing by, overheard everything the medical students were saying.
It was simply terrifying.
Emily was Janet’s younger sister, yet she ended up like this. If anyone who wasn’t related to Janet offended her, they might end up worse than Emily.
Madelaine’s expression was bitter; she wished she could slap herself hard across the face.
Listening to the increasingly heated discussions of the group of students from the medical school, Madelaine was so frightened that she ran away.
It was terrifying just to think about what might happen!
Madelaine wasn’t the only person who was worried.
The other person was the third year medical student, Tina.
When she learned that Janet was J’Adore, she almost fainted.
It was no wonder Janet said before that she had thousands of ways to deal with her.
At that time, she only said those things because she thought Janet was Sandra.
To her horror, Janet was actually J’Adore.
Indeed, only J’Adore would have the confidence to tell her this.
Thinking back about it now, Tina felt fortunate that at that time, she didn’t go too far. Otherwise, the person dangling from the top floor of the White Clouds Mansion might have been her.
Both of Tina’s legs were trembling, and the group of juniors around her weren’t better off either.
“Tina, let’s go. If Janet comes, she’ll definitely recall what we did to her before…” The few of them were practically holding each other up, and they couldn’t even speak properly.
Tina nodded, and the look on her face was extremely nasty. “Alright. Let’s go.”
She swore that she would never go through the hallway of the medical school again.
Meanwhile, there was a black sedan at the entrance of Woodsbury University.
Janet reached out and was about to open the car door, but Mason grabbed her arm.
Mason pointed to his lips, then said in a low voice, “Give me a goodbye kiss.”
Janet didn’t know how to react. She hesitated for a while before leaning in and giving him a quick kiss.
“Is that enough?”
The man nodded contentedly. “You’re so soft.”
His statement made Janet flustered, so he laughed. “I meant your lips are really soft.”
Janet pursed her lips.
“Of course, other places are soft too.”
She was truly at a loss for words now.
She was about to speak when the man reached out and caressed her head. “Go on in. I’ll pick you up at night, Darling.”
Janet was about to act out, but him calling her ‘Darling’ quelled her.
She got up and placed a light kiss on the corner of the man’s lips. “Be careful on the way back.”
“Yes, milady,” Mason said solemnly.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1127
The Virus
Janet opened the car door and walked toward the entrance of Woodsbury University.
Almost in an instant, everyone in the field recognized her familiar silhouette!
Janet is really back!
All of them stepped forward and surrounded her, wanting to see the demeanor of the leader of the MX.
Although Janet’s temperament was already unusual most of the time, today, she suddenly appeared captivating because she was carrying J’Adore’s identity.
Her aura is so powerful and unique! It’s no wonder Markovia worships her. She really resembles a queen!
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp, and they subconsciously made a path for Janet.
“She’s really so cool! ”
“Oh, why didn’t I notice how attractive Janet was before? ”
“Her aura is so powerful. In this case, I’m going to become her fan really soon! ”
“Going to? I’ve long been a diehard fan of hers! ”
Janet turned a deaf ear and walked in the direction of the medical school with a blank expression.
Abby, Sharon, Summer, and the others had already been waiting at the entrance of the medical school for a long time.
The moment they saw Janet, the three of them surrounded her at the same time. “Janet, you’re finally here! ”
Janet smiled. “Let’s go in. ”
The moment Abby saw Janet, she couldn’t hide the smile on her face. “Janet, Janet, I nearly died.”
“Huh?” Janet raised her eyebrows at her.
“I mean, when I saw Emily being dangled from the top floor of White Clouds Mansion, I was so excited I nearly died.”
When she saw Emily being suspended, unable to get down no matter how much she yelled, Abby was simply ecstatic.
“That’s Emily’s retribution. That’s what she gets for always bullying you last time. She tried to gain an advantage but ended up worse off. Serves her right!” Abby rattled on.
Sharon nodded. “That’s right. That’s right. Those who scolded you before are all trembling in a corner now.”
“You don’t say. When I saw Tina pass by our department just now, her legs were shaking so bad they almost turned to jelly.” Summer covered her mouth and giggled.
No one else was happier about the fact that Janet was J’Adore than the three of them, because no one would dare to scold Janet because of the ‘Jason’ couple issue anymore.
As Janet listened to the three girls talk, her lips curled up, but she said nothing.
…
Meanwhile, in a basement in Yobril, there were several men in an iron cage.
At this moment, the skin of the men in the iron cage had begun to fester.
Almost every part of their bodies was slowly rotting, and they were starting to feel suffocated as well.
More than 30 hours had passed since the injection of the viral fluid.
As long as it reached 48 hours, all the men in the cage would die.
Needless to say, the virus that Melissa discovered this time was indeed amazing.
Not only could this virus affect people with special physique like Mason, but even ordinary people couldn’t survive it.
As Emily stared at the men in the cage, she shuddered, feeling nauseous and close to vomiting.
Her lips trembled, and even her voice was wobbly. “Mr. Hills, you’re not going to inject me with this virus too, are you?”
Narrowing his eyes, the President smiled, then approached Emily step by step.
There was an intensely sinister look in his turquoise eyes, causing Emily to step backward.
He reached out and pinched her cheek. “No, I’m not willing to let you be a carrier of the virus. You hate J’Adore the most, don’t you? Then, I’ll let you have a taste of what it’s like to control others. Someone will bring the antidote of the virus over later, and I’ll ask her to inject you with it. As long as Mason is infected with this virus, no matter what, she’ll beg you on behalf of him and obey you.”
The President had already thought it through. As long as Janet and Mason were obedient and handed the MX and the Hawke Kingdom over to him, he would keep them alive and make them his slaves forever.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1128
The Antidote
When Emily heard this, she glanced at the test subjects in the iron cage, then gulped with difficulty and said, “Are you sure the antidote won’t harm me?”
“Of course!” The President narrowed his eyes on her. “You’re someone who can make J’Adore feel distressed, so I won’t let you get hurt.”
Emily slightly lifted her head, and the thrill of getting revenge emerged in her heart. “Of course.”
Even in her dreams, she wished she could see Janet kneeling on the ground, begging her.
She was rescued by the President purely because God pitied her and finally granted her wish.
Since Janet had destroyed her hands, Emily vowed that she would make Janet lose hers as well.
Since they had agreed to hand over the antidote today, a man in black brought Melissa into the room.
Melissa held firmly onto the antidote and followed the man in.
Before she entered, she already smelled the strong scent of blood, and she vaguely heard men wailing in the room.
They sounded like they were in extreme pain.
Frowning, Melissa was about to ask something when the man in black opened the basement door.
He turned and said respectfully, “Miss Rocher, go on in! Mr. Hills is waiting for you inside.”
So, she nodded and went in.
In the next second, the stench of rotting flesh reached her, causing her to feel sick.
Melissa couldn’t be more familiar with this smell—it was the smell of rotting corpses.
In medical terms, this was called the odor of putrefaction.
It smelled even worse than a dead mouse!
When the President heard voices, he knew that someone had arrived. Without turning his head, he said, “Miss Rocher, you’re finally here.”
Melissa heard his greeting and walked in step by step, but she was stunned upon lifting her head and taking a glance around. “W-What’s all this?”
As soon as she said this, one of the men in the iron cage vomited blood.
The blood spurted out several meters like a fountain, instantly staining the iron pillars.
Melissa wanted to scream, but she could only suppress her horror.
Her eyes widened. In the end, she couldn’t help but vomit.
Although she had seen bloodier scenes than this before, this was her first time witnessing one that made her feel so revolted.
Standing to one side, the President cast her a bleak look. “This is the virus you developed. Exciting, isn’t it?”
Melissa’s eyes widened, and she felt the blood in her body turning to ice.
The President slowly walked over to her and looked at her. “Miss Rocher, your experiment is simply too successful!”
His tone was as cold as an ice cellar in winter, intimidating her endlessly.
“Stop! Stop this!”Melissa yelled.
Before this, she figured she could just hand the virus to the President and let him deal with the enemy. At least if she didn’t see anything, she could treat it as if there was no such thing.
However, she didn’t expect that she would see these experimental subjects in person.
Moreover, these subjects seemed to be in far more pain than she had imagined.
“Stop?” The President snorted. “Without these experimental subjects, how would I know how much pain Mason would be in?” he uttered slowly.
Melissa took a deep breath, and her pupils constricted as she held on tightly to the antidote and reasoned in a hoarse voice, “You’ve seen the effects already, right? So we can stop the experiment now.”
She couldn’t bear to continue watching anymore.
If she had known that the subjects would be in so much pain, or that the President was so cruel, she definitely wouldn’t have agreed to his request.
But now, nothing she said would change things.
The only thing she could do now to make up for it was to give these people the antidote to save their lives.
Smiling, the President said nothing. He reached out to take the antidote in Melissa’s hand, then held it in his hand.
He lowered his head and replied carefully, “The experiment hasn’t ended yet, so how would I know what will happen to these people in the end?”

Tricked by a Woman
“By the way, weren’t you the one who developed this virus, Miss Rocher? Why are you pretending to be a good person now? You want to save these people’s lives?”
Melissa’s eyes were red-rimmed. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.
“Miss Rocher, since you can’t bear to see such things, then hurry up and leave. I’ll handle the rest myself,” the President said coldly.
Probably because she was beginning to come to her senses, Melissa clenched her fists and hissed, “Mr. Hills, if I had known that this would happen, I never would have agreed to your order.”
The President snorted. “It’s too late to say anything now. Miss Rocher, since you’ve already given me the antidote, you can leave now.”
This was the second time the President asked her to leave, but Melissa knew that if she stepped out of this room, the people in the iron cage would all die.
She clenched her fists, as if gathering courage. “Mr. Hills, give these people the antidote first. I’ll bring more over tomorrow.”
When he heard this, the President narrowed his eyes and fixed her with a dangerous look. “You have more of the antidote?” He looked down at the liquid in the bottle. “This isn’t all?”
Raising an eyebrow, Melissa said coldly, “I didn’t expect you to be so crazy, so fortunately, I have some antidote left. Mr. Hills, if you don’t give that antidote to the experimental subjects, I can’t guarantee that the rest of the antidote won’t be distributed.”
The President gritted his teeth, his green eyes suddenly turning red and bloodthirsty as he glared at Melissa. “Don’t you dare.”
If she distributes the antidote, won’t the virus be useless against Mason? Then, what would be the point of me going to so much trouble to do all this! What would be the point! This woman is actually toying with me! This wretched woman!
He held Melissa’s throat in a chokehold and cried out, “You tricked me! You tricked me!”
Besides J’Adore, Melissa was the second woman who had ever dared to trick him.
“L-Let me go!” Melissa clawed at the President’s arm, her clear eyes turning red. “If I die, the antidote will definitely be distributed!”
It was proven that this trick worked on him.
Although his expression was still nasty, his grip gradually loosened.
Melissa grabbed the antidote bottle from his hand and said coldly, “Bring a protective suit and some syringes over.”
She was obviously saying this to the man in black behind her, but since the President didn’t say anything, it was only natural that his subordinates dared not move.
“Hurry!”
At this moment, the President still hadn’t spoken, but his men knew what he was thinking.
After a while, wearing the protective suit the man in black had brought in, Melissa walked into the iron cage with syringes filled with liquid.
It hadn’t been 48 hours yet, but three of the men were already unconscious.
To make matters worse, these experimental subjects were all strong, burly men.
It could be seen how powerful this virus was.
There was no point in rescuing the fallen, so she could only give the antidote to the people who were likely to make it out alive.
After everything was done, she slowly stepped back, then took off the protective suit.
When she left, she shot the President a cold glance before walking out the door.
As the President stared at her retreating back, he looked livid, and his expression was extremely nasty.
At this moment, he wanted to strangle Melissa to death.
Melissa actually threatened me.
I’ve actually been so terribly tricked by a woman!
If word of this got out, it would be utterly embarrassing for me!
The President’s chest heaved non-stop, showing the intense anger he was feeling.
Standing behind him, Emily stared blankly at the President.
She was completely stunned by what had just happened.
Melissa… This person, this name…. Why is it so familiar…
Emily frowned, and a thought suddenly struck her.
Is Melissa the person who lost to Janet in the International Medical Competition for Novice? So, Melissa is actually the one who developed this virus.
After clearing up the confusion, Emily shook her head.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1130
Corey’s Getting Revenge!
Emily hurried over to the President’s side and asked, “Mr. Hills, Melissa threatened you, so why did you let her go?”
The President’s lungs were about to explode as he answered furiously, “Didn’t you hear just now? She threatened me with the antidote.”
Obviously, Melissa’s remarks just now signified that she was ready to fight him at the risk of mutual destruction.
How dare that b*tch do that to me! One billion still wasn’t enough to keep her mouth shut!
Emily squinted, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes. “Mr. Hills, if she can threaten you like this this time, then she can threaten you the same way in the future. If she goes back and really distributes the antidote, won’t your hard work be in vain?”
The President turned to look at her, then asked frostily, “What are you implying?”
“This.” Emily snorted, then dragged her thumb across her neck. “Kill her to ease your concerns.”
This way, no one else would know about the plan.
As soon as Emily said that, the President closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
Melissa had said that there was still a portion of the antidote left. If his guess was correct, there was a high chance that the antidote was kept in the medical laboratory.
That meant that he just had to instruct his subordinates to go to the medical laboratory to secretly retrieve the antidote.
That way, they could get the antidote without Melissa.
In an instant, the corners of his lips curled up. “Miss Jackson, you’re quite clever.”
Emily let out a low chuckle, then looked down at the arm she couldn’t lift.
It wasn’t that she had gotten smarter; it was because Janet had forced her to this point.
The President glanced at the subordinate behind him and motioned for him to deal with Melissa.
Upon receiving the order, the man in black nodded and left.
…
After leaving the basement, Melissa thought for a while before deciding to tell Sheldon what had just happened.
But the moment she took out her phone, she saw a black truck quickly approaching her.
She thought it was just a coincidence, but to her surprise, no matter where she swerved, the black truck kept heading toward her.
Suddenly, an ominous premonition emerged in her heart, whereupon she instinctively ran forward.
But before she could run far, another black truck appeared in front of her.
The two trucks were now approaching her at the same time.
The high beam caused Melissa’s pupils to constrict, and both her legs were trembling.
When the truck got closer to her, she caught sight of the driver.
He was the President’s subordinate!
He was the one who had brought her into the basement.
“Corey!”
Gritting her teeth, Melissa quickly unlocked her phone and dialed Sheldon’s number.
Corey’s getting revenge!
She knew that there was no way she could escape today.
The moment the truck drove toward her, the call was connected.
Almost at the last second, Melissa yelled at the person on the other end of the line, “Corey is going to kill me!”
Then, with a bang, the phone was crushed by the tires.
On the other end of the line, Sheldon was stunned.
All he heard from Melissa were two words.
“Kill me.”
Then, there was a loud bang.
When he called again, the call could no longer be connected.
Almost instantly, Sheldon got up and rushed out with his coat.
Meanwhile, at Woodsbury University, Janet had asked for a week’s vacation in advance because she was going to Yobril.
She was J’Adore now, so obviously, no one dared to refuse her request.
But, Janet felt that she was being quite neglectful.
After finishing up the last part of the experiment, Janet came out of the laboratory.
They were going to Yobril the day after tomorrow, and she wondered what was happening at the President’s side.
Janet pondered it lazily as she kicked the stones on the side of the road.
All of a sudden, she heard the sound of people cheering.
“Damn. Who’s that? Why does he look so familiar?”
“F*ck. That man is really handsome!”
“Isn’t that Mr. Lowry? Can’t you guys recognize him? He’s Mr. Lowry!”
