Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1131
Meet-up Kiss
“Oh, my God. It really is Mr. Lowry! Why did he come to the university in person?”
Every one of the students on the field stared at the man in front of them.
“Is he here to pick Janet home?”
“Damn! Mr. Lowry actually came to pick her up himself?”
“He must be smitten by her.”
“She is so lucky!”
Hearing everyone’s discussion, Janet froze for a moment before raising her eyebrows and looking at the gossiping students.
Immediately, the sight of Mason waving at her came into view.
The man was wearing a black shirt, and his collar was a little messy. Under the sunlight, he looked more casual and gentle than usual.
For a moment, she fell in a daze as she stared at him.
Then, a deep voice came to her ear. “Janet, why aren’t you coming over yet?”
Upon that, Janet snapped back to reality and walked toward him step by step.
There was a gentle smile on the corner of the man’s lips—one filled with nothing but doting love.
“Hurry up,” he urged.
He really wanted to hug her as soon as possible.
Janet raised her eyebrows, then cast away her laziness and ran over.
Finally, she rushed into the arms of the man.
Everyone present was stunned by this scene.
They all had excited smiles on their faces.
“Oh, my God. They’re hugging, they’re hugging!”
“Mr. Lowry is really here to pick her up!”
“Ah! This is too cute!”
“If I remember correctly, this is their first time being publicly affectionate after their engagement!”
“Looks like Mr. Lowry couldn’t bear to wait for a long time. After they announced their relationship, he couldn’t wait to pick her up from the university!”
“After all, many male classmates in the school might have ideas about Janet. So, he has come to show them who she belongs to!”
“Oh, my god! The Loury-Jackson ship has sailed for me, and I’m loving it!”
Janet was somewhat unaccustomed to being embraced under the public gaze.
She reached her hands out and pushed on the man’s chest. “Let’s go.”
Seeing her expression, Mason stretched out his hand and gently caressed the top of her hair. With a doting and loving tone in his voice, he said, “You’re so shy, Darling.”
This was the first time he called her ‘Darling’ in public. Janet felt so shy, and without even thinking twice, she took the man’s hand and walked out of the gate.
The students behind them chased after them like crazy. “Ah! ‘Darling’! Mason Lowry actually called Janet ‘Darling’!”
“Mr. Lowry’s voice is giving me an eargasm!”
“Ah! I’m getting diabetes out of this sweetness!”
“They’re going to get in the car! Do you want to catch up and see?”
“Forget it! We are not those kinds of crazed fans, okay?”
“I know, right! If you dare to catch up, I’m afraid you will go blind.”
As soon as these words came out, the thoughts of those who wanted to catch up with them to watch the fun immediately vanished.
Everyone stood there obediently, watching them leave.
…
In the car.
Mason touched Janet’s face with his warm palm and said with a smile, “You haven’t given me a meet-up kiss yet.”
Janet was dumbfounded.
What?
Meet-up kiss?
Janet didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What is that?”
There were always so many reasons for him to ask for a kiss.
There was the good-morning kiss, good-night kiss, goodbye kiss, kiss before work, kiss before school, even when she went to the toilet, he would ask for a kiss.
The point was, he was always trying his best to take advantage of her!
Mason laughed softly and whispered by her lips as he approached her, “This is a meet-up kiss.”
As he said that, the man immediately kissed her pink lips before she could even react.
Then came round after round of rampage.
He was not willing to let her go until her pink lips turned swollen.
Janet looked at the rearview mirror of the car. Although irritated, she still managed to ask helplessly, “Where did you learn all these random tricks from?”
“No, no, no!” The man shook his head and spoke with a smile. “This isn’t just some random trick! This is the Lowry family’s rule. It’s just like the tattoo on our backs, but we tattoo once for a lifetime. As for kissing, we have to do it everyday.”
The corners of Janet’s mouth twitched. She was obviously not buying his statement.
“You don’t you believe it?”
“Not one bit!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1132
Melissa Was Murdered
As soon as Manson heard Janet’s response, the corners of his lips curled into a smile. “The Lowry family’s rules are not only these, but also… For example, each couple in the family should at least have five days of intercourse a week, at least three times a day… Of course, this is for the sake of the future of the Lowry family. However, considering that you’re still in university, Darling, we will settle with twice a day from Monday to Friday, and the remaining five times will be made up on Saturday and Sunday.”
He went on and on.
The more Mason continued on, the darker Janet’s face became.
Looking at the man’s look while he was calculating everything, she sneered, “The Lowry family has so many rules.”
“Do you not believe me, Darling?”
“Of course not!”
Mason looked over at Janet’s face and couldn’t help laughing. “Well, then I’ll have to call grandma to see if the Lowry family actually has these rules.”
As he said that, he actually reached out to get his phone.
Seeing that, Janet hurriedly held the man’s hand with a stiff expression. “Okay, okay. I believe you.”
She would rather die than to bring up such private and intimate things between them in front of Old Madam Lowry.
What an a*shole. He really knew how to make up stories!
The man narrowed his eyes and held her hand with his. “Then, Darling, you must memorize the rules of the Lowry family.”
Janet rolled her eyes at the man.
Even if she didn’t memorize it, he would remind her every day.
She suddenly regretted the fact that she had fallen in love with such a man.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was very strange.
It was sunny on one side and cloudy on the other.
The corners of Mason’s lips were curled upwards—he seemed to be in a good mood.
Janet leaned her head against the window, brooding over what happened just now.
All of a sudden, a cell phone rang and broke the tense atmosphere.
It was Janet’s phone!
She turned on the screen and saw that it was Lee.
“Hello?”
“Janet, has someone taken over Yobril?”
“What’s wrong?”
“There is news from the medical community in Yobril that Melissa Rocher is dead. As far as I know, it was murder!”
Melissa Rocher?
Wasn’t she the one who found trouble with me last time?
Janet squinted as she looked at the scenery outside the window expressionlessly and said casually, “I’m not interested in her.”
She couldn’t afford to care about what happened in Yobril.
Moreover, she and Melissa never got along.
“Of course I know you’re not interested,” Lee raised his voice and said excitedly. “But you must be interested in this other thing.”
“Tell me, then.” Janet was impatient.
“Didn’t she receive a billion-dollar order from Markovia before? According to internal sources, her medical findings were stolen this time. Also, her death may have something to do with the theft of medical findings.”
Janet raised her eyebrows while listening to what Lee said through the phone, her eyes looking extremely disinterested.
In the next second, she said, “Murdering someone in order to get the research results—it shows that the research findings must have been very important.”
Moreover, the other party also set a high price of 1 billion.
Who could be so generous?
Thinking of this, Janet was very curious about what that thing was.
“Lee, go find out what exactly Melissa was researching with the 1 billion.”
Lee agreed. “Okay, I’m also curious about it as well. I have nothing to do these days anyway, so I’ll go and find out.”
With that, Janet hung up the phone.
When she put away her phone, Mason, who was beside her, turned to look at her and asked, “What were you talking about?”
Janet paused and said slowly, “It’s just that something happened in the medical world. Do you remember that I participated in an International Medical Competition for Novice in Yobril before? The girl who everyone was betting on to win that time was murdered today.”
Hearing this, the man frowned. After a while, he nodded and answered, “I’ve seen that competition.”
In fact, he watched the live replay from his office.
Now that he thought about it again, he could still recall the competition.
However…
“Janet, you’ve rarely been interested in other people’s affairs. Why are you suddenly interested in investigating her?” Mason asked curiously.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1133
Who on Earth Is Mr Hills?
Janet rested her chin on her palm and said slowly, “I wasn’t interested at first, but her experimental research results were stolen, and the medical community is expected to be in a mess right now…”
…
Meanwhile, Melissa was indeed dead.
Her foot and arms were broken, and even her tongue had been pulled out.
By the time Sheldon arrived at the scene, she had already died from excessive blood loss.
The Rocher family immediately brought her body back home.
Sheldon did not reveal the specific details because he always felt that things could never be that simple.
Although the Rochers were very sad and angry, they were helpless. After all, Melissa’s murderer had still not yet been found.
So there was no use resenting anyone.
The only thing they could hope for was to catch the murderer as soon as possible!
After returning to the Fuller Corporation, Sheldon sat on his black sofa and pondered for a while.
Before Melissa left, she even greeted him and said that she would bring the antidote to Mr. Hill.
Unfortunately, she was killed less than two hours after she left.
When he went to the scene to find her again, the antidote in the laboratory had been stolen.
The laboratory used a high-tech voice recognition system, and only Melissa could enter that place.
The people who could break into the laboratory must have used means involving advanced technology.
They could have just stolen the antidote to the virus—why did they have to kill her?
How merciless!
The series of coincidences made him suspect that the person who paid Melissa to study the virus at a price of 1 billion was the same person who killed her.
However, the employer had always been mysterious, and he only knew him as ‘Mr. Hills’.
Even Melissa only ever called him Mr. Hills, so it was obvious that this person had always been mysterious.
“Mr. Hills—who could it be?”
Sheldon repeated this ‘Mr. Hill’ over and over again, as if he could remember who he was by calling his name repeatedly.
“Mr. Hills…”
Suddenly, Sheldon’s mind and body froze.
Corey Hills?
Could it be him?
It wasn’t baseless for Sheldon to think so.
When he met Melissa in the corridor before, he saw a man come out of her laboratory. At that time, when he asked Melissa about him, she didn’t answer much, but thinking back, he felt that the man’s back view was very familiar.
Now that he thought about it again, that person’s back view was similar to Corey Hills’.
Sheldon’s father was the councilman of Yobril. When his father went to Yobril last year, he also took Sheldon along.
It was at that time that he first met Corey.
After that, he once again represented his father to discuss business with Corey.
They had only ever met twice.
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall stature… The back view definitely belonged to him.
Apart from these physical features, Sheldon was sure that no ordinary person could easily fork out 1 billion.
Putting these two points together, Sheldon had determined that the issuer of the 1-billion order was Corey.
Even then, could Melissa really have been killed by Corey?
He really wanted to make the truth of the matter public or reveal it to the police, but once the virus was announced, forget the medical field—the world itself would be turned upside down.
As the president of Markovia, what would the crime of murder do to him?
Even if the embassy really wanted to hold him accountable, he would definitely find a way to excuse himself.
After all, without some means and cruelty, how could he become the president of Markovia?
In short, now was not a good time to deal with this.
……..
The development of this matter was as expected by Janet.
In just a few hours, almost everyone knew about Melissa’s murder.
Forget the whole city—everyone in the whole world was talking about it.
The topic caused a sensation on the internet.
‘What? She’s dead?’
‘You’re talking about Melissa Rocher, the same Melissa who participated in the International Medical Competition for Novice last time?’
‘Yes, her! But in that competition, she lost to Janet Jackson.’
‘Oh, yes! I remember that too.’
‘But later on, didn’t she take on a billion-dollar medical order?’
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1134
Were These Really Related to That Dream?
‘That’s right. It’s only been a month, yet she’s dead now.’
‘Gosh! This is so strange.’
‘According to insiders, Melissa’s death is closely related to this billion-dollar medical order!’
‘Hmm…’
Soon, news of Melissa’s death spread like wildfire.
All of a sudden, rumors erupted everywhere. At the same time, Janet, who had just returned to Lowry Residence, received a call from Lee. Needless to say, this phone call must be about the progress on Melissa’s murder case.
Surely enough, as soon as it was connected, Lee’s voice rang from the phone. “Melissa, I’ve found something—as the netizens said, Melissa’s death is related to this billion-dollar order. According to internal sources, it was the employer who killed Melissa.”
Janet was not at all surprised by this result. The death and theft were linked; it was all orchestrated by the same person. She had already guessed it. However, she was a little more curious about her following question. “Then have you found out who this mystery employer is?”
After those words left her mouth, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment. He didn’t say anything—perhaps he just didn’t know.
Janet didn’t want to be hard on him either, so she was about to hang up. However, when she was about to hang up, Lee spoke slowly in a dull voice. “I don’t know who it is, but the people on the inside called him Mr. Hills.”
Almost instantly, Janet’s face sank.
Hills… She happened to know someone with the last name ‘Hills’. If she remembered correctly, it was said before that the employer was from Markovia. Melissa was killed in Yobril, so it meant that the employer also went there. Her acquaintance with the last name Hills was coincidentally in Yobril as well.
“Heh.” Janet couldn’t help but sneer.
Lee, on the other end of the phone, had also just guessed this, so he was silent for a while just now. Janet’s sneer happened to prove that they were thinking the same thing. He unabashedly expressed his guess at this moment and said solemnly, “Janet, do you also think it’s Corey?”
“Yes,” she answered coldly.
By the time he was about to say something, the phone had already been hung up. Lee squinted his eyes and immediately felt that this matter was not so simple.
Janet didn’t wait for Lee to finish speaking because he wouldn’t know what she wanted to know. What she wanted to know was—what exactly were the stolen antidotes in the laboratory?
When she speculated that the murderer was Corey just now, she suddenly had a bad premonition. If there was an antidote, there must be a poison. What had Melissa been studying? Corey spent a billion on this, which meant the things she had been researching on must have been very important. Now that Corey has had a falling out with me, the chances of this kind of thing being used against me would be high. No matter how arrogant Corey was before this, I didn’t feel any fear at all. But that dream… Are these things really related to that dream?
It was impossible for Lee to know about such a private matter. If he had known, he would have told her right away. Janet didn’t even think about it and directly sent a text message to Sheldon.
Sheldon was cooperating with the Rocher Family, and all the experiments and research Melissa did were funded and supported by him. Therefore, the probability of Sheldon knowing about this would be much higher.
Two minutes later, there was still no response from him. Therefore, Janet started to make a phone call. Soon, the voice call finally got through. Sheldon frowned upon hearing his phone ring, and his voice was low and hoarse as he answered, “Who’s this?”
“It’s me.”
A cold and indifferent female voice suddenly rang.
Sheldon asked the question because he didn’t look at the caller ID when he answered the phone just now. Now that he heard a voice and recognized who it was, he was even a little surprised. He hesitated for a while and asked indifferently, “What’s up?”
Janet looked out the window expressionlessly. “I wanted to ask you something.”
Janet was straightforward; before Sheldon could even say ‘what is it’, she said, “What exactly was Melissa researching with the 1 billion that Corey gave her?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1135
Never Been So Out of Control Before
Sheldon’s body froze on the other end of the phone while his face turned pale.
He said, “M-Miss Jackson, how do you know that Melissa’s employer was Corey Hills?”
Janet didn’t answer but ordered instead, “Just tell me.”
Her voice was like an ice cellar in winter—cold, piercing, and terrifying.
It was as if there was a huge and invisible sense of oppression looming over him.
Even people of Sheldon’s status could feel scared.
In the face of this person he was once fond of, he couldn’t bring himself to tell her no matter how much he wanted to because he knew the danger that might ensue if it was revealed.
Hence, he refused. “Miss Jackson, please forgive me. I really can’t reveal anything regarding the internal affairs.”
When Janet heard Sheldon’s answer, there was a bit of bloodthirst in her eyes. She continued to say coldly, “I have to know today, and if you don’t tell me, your small company with the market value of tens of billions will be gone with the wind. Not only that, but also your sister… father…”
Janet’s voice became even lower, especially in her last sentence that included ‘sister’ and ‘father’—it was almost as if she hissed it through her gritted teeth.
Sheldon was not sure why Janet was so stubborn and wanted to know, but if it really came to that, the Fuller Corporation would still be gone in no time even if he had the support of a councilman.
Janet’s methods were known to the whole world.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I will tell you, but I beg of you to keep this a secret.”
Janet’s pupils shrank as she listened to the content over the phone.
The veins on her forehead throbbed, and she held the phone so tightly that her fingernails were turning white.
A girl like her, who had always been calm, had never been so out of control before…
She heard all the contents of the phone when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
So, Janet quickly hung up the phone.
“You’re done showering?” She looked up at Mason.
He nodded while wiping his hair with the towel hanging around his neck and asked lightly, “Who were you talking to on the phone just now?”
The water was so loud that he couldn’t hear her.
He only heard something about sister and father.
Janet only lightly acknowledged it and replied with a blank face, “My classmates said something about her sister and father just now, so I chimed in as well.”
Hearing her answer, Mason nodded and was about to go downstairs to pour some coffee.
Janet looked at his back. All of a sudden, she stood up, then walked over and took his hand. “Go downstairs after drying your hair. I’m not thirsty.”
Mason’s heart softened as he chuckled lightly. “Who said that I was pouring it for you?”
Knowing that he was joking with her, Janet did not get angry. She just wanted to help the man dry his hair.
“Let me do it,” she grabbed the towel and said gently. “I’ve never helped you dry your hair, right?”
Mason felt comfortable being served by her little hands; the corner of his lips curled, and he said while feeling a little aggrieved, “So you know. You have no conscience at all.”
Janet’s eyes dimmed, and she replied softly, “Yeah. So I don’t want this to be the last time.”
Hearing that, the man frowned.
Before he could ask her what she meant by that, Janet quickly changed the subject. “I meant to say that I’ll dry your hair for you every day from now on.”
“You’re so nice, Darling!” Mason wrapped his arms around her waist and put her on his lap.
The two stayed silent.
No one spoke, but it felt sweet and warm nonetheless. Somehow, they both preferred the silence.
It wasn’t until his hair was dry that she slowly moved away.
As her gaze moved all the way down, she could soon see the man’s back.
The tattoo was simply majestic.
How nice would it be if we could be like this forever.
His life should be the same as the meaning of this pattern.
“Why didn’t you let me help you shower?” Janet frowned while looking at the tattoo on his back, which was a little red.
Mason smiled coldly and brushed the hair from her forehead. “Darling, I didn’t wash my back. I guess it was accidentally drenched with water, so don’t be angry.”
He just saw her sitting in front of the window, not exactly in the highest of spirits, so he didn’t want to bother her.
However, he didn’t expect her to be so enthusiastic this time.
Janet pondered for a while, then nodded. “Okay. Then I’ll go down to make a cup of coffee and get some ointments. Stay here and don’t move a muscle.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1136
Janet Was Acting a Little Strange
When Mason saw how Janet was ordering him so seriously, he even wanted to laugh.
He reached for the towel in her hand, and when she left, he patted her bottom. “Go.”
He couldn’t tell why, but she was extraordinarily well-behaved today.
She’s like an obedient little girl.
Thinking of that, Mason’s heart was warm and delighted.
……..
Janet, on the other hand, couldn’t hold it in any more as soon as she walked out of that door.
She clenched her fists, wanting so badly to punch a hole in the wall.
It was a pity that she couldn’t let Mason notice anything strange about her.
Corey would actually consider using such a despicable method on her!
How dare he get involved with something like that! He is absolutely insane! Very well. This means my dream is coming true little by little. Damn. That dream is so f*cking accurate! It seems I’ll have to get rid of Corey Hills, Janet thought to herself.
She couldn’t stand it, even for a second.
Soon, Janet took a deep breath and walked directly to the sofa without brewing the coffee.
Immediately, she opened up the bag to take out a tube of anesthetic and drew the liquid into the syringe.
Then, she took out another bottle of ointment and held it tightly in her hand.
Janet stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then pushed the door open.
Hearing the door open, Mason turned his head, whereupon their eyes met.
Janet quickly hid the anesthetic in her hand into her sleeve.
Only when everything seemed to be fine did she approach him.
“No coffee?”
Seeing that she only had a bottle of ointment in her hand, he asked.
Janet raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “I’m worried about your wound, so you head down and brew it for me later.”
Hearing that, Mason pinched the tip of her nose and said affectionately while gritting his teeth, “You know your way around getting people to do your bidding, huh?”
Janet smiled and left it at that.
Subsequently, she dabbed the cool ointment in the bottle on the red and swollen part of Manson’s back.
Mason’s eyes closed as he enjoyed the skinship between the both of them.
After the ointment was applied, Mason turned his head, raised his hand, and cupped her face gently while noticing that it was cold. “Okay. I’ll go down and pour you a glass of water. You shouldn’t drink coffee at night.”
Janet didn’t move.
When the man was about to get up, her lips moved, and she reached out to hold the man’s hand. “I don’t want to have coffee anymore. I want to hug you for a while.”
Janet buried her head in the man’s shoulder.
Mason didn’t know why, but he felt a little strange from her action.
He frowned and was about to speak when Janet suddenly hooked his neck and kissed his thin lips forcefully.
It was as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
Facing her enthusiasm, the corners of the man’s lips trembled slightly. He made no secret of his desires and also responded to her in the same way.
In the end, she melted in his arms, and then leaned against him while hugging and kissing him.
The dimly lit room was silent and warm at this time.
Inside the master bedroom, the man glanced at the woman sleeping in his arms before picking up his mobile phone and dialing a number. “Sean, go check on Melissa and Corey’s movements.”
On the other end of the phone, Sean was stunned, but he agreed in the end.
After hanging up the phone, Mason kept quiet.
He laid on his side, and his slender fingers brushed her brows, which were still furrowed in her sleep.
Why would she still show such an expression when she’s asleep?
Mason pondered for a while. He then slowly got up from the bed.
Although he tried to be as stealthy as possible, he still woke the woman in his arms.
Janet slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.
“I’m thirsty.” Janet’s voice was a little hoarse. “I want water.”
The man reached out and touched her cheek, and scratched the tip of her nose affectionately. “I was about to pour you a glass of water, but you woke up instead. Stay still. I’ll be back later.”
“Okay.”
After watching him go out, Janet took out the syringe under his pillow and hid it under her sleeve.
When Mason came back, Janet was sitting obediently on the bed.
He handed over the glass of water and said, “Have some water.”
Janet took it and immediately drank more than half of it.
Then, she put the glass with the remaining water on the bedside table, looked at Mason blankly, and asked, “Does your back still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” The man smiled and shook his head.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1137
I’m Sorry
“Let me take a look.” Janet didn’t believe him. She pulled on his hand and insisted that he sat on the bed with his back facing her.
The ointment was indeed effective and his back wasn’t red anymore.
Janet slowly averted her gaze toward Mason’s neck and her finger twitched instinctively. I cannot be soft-hearted anymore; otherwise, I’ll screw things up.
She slowly pulled out the syringe from her sleeves and was about to stab it toward Mason’s neck.
Perceiving the silence from his back, Mason was about to turn around to check on her.
“Don’t move,” Janet ordered coldly.
All of a sudden, Mason felt a piercing pain on his back. By the time he realized what was going on, the syringe in Janet’s hand was already emptied.
The temperature of the surroundings decreased at once as he stared at her coldly. “What did you inject into my body?”
“A strong anesthetic,” Janet replied apathetically. Her previous gentleness ceased to exist as if she was merely putting on an act just now.
Mason could feel his body turning cold. However, his heart felt colder than his entire body as he croaked in a deep voice, “A strong anesthetic?”
Immediately, Janet threw the syringe into the rubbish bin and started stuffing clothes from the wardrobe into the suitcase. At the same time, she replied, “Yes. I’m afraid a normal anesthetic might not work on you, so I decided to go with a stronger one.”
“Why?” Mason pressed his lips against each other tightly as his vision became blurry. This was the first time he questioned her with such a tone. Not only could he not understand the reason behind her actions, but he was also aggrieved and heartbroken.
Janet paused for a while before continuing to pack calmly. “Don’t worry. The anesthetic won’t harm your body. It will only make you sleep a little longer.”
“Am I asking about this?!” Mason bawled as his alluring eyes had already turned cold and ruthless at this moment. He stared at Janet and laughed grimly. “Are you going to face Corey alone? Do you not plan to bring me along?”
Janet’s fingers became stiff, but she pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Answer me!”
“Yes, I’m planning to go alone. Have a good sleep at home.”
Mason was even more enraged upon hearing her answer. He spat through gritted teeth, “So, ever since you proposed the plan to me, you’ve already decided to not include me. Am I right?”
Janet did not answer him. At that time, she had indeed wavered. Nevertheless, they still agreed to go together toward the end. However, she had that same dream again that night. In addition, after all that had happened today, she didn’t dare to put his life at stake all the more.
The effect of this strong anesthetic would only last 24 hours. Even if he was not seen for 24 hours, the others would only think he was spending time with Janet and would not suspect anything. She only needed 24 hours to return from Yobril. So, she decided to make a bet.
Mason kept staring fixedly at her as he waited indignantly for an answer from her.
After she was done packing, Janet stood up and smiled faintly. “You’re right. I’ve not planned to bring you along from the moment I made the proposal. I just gave in out of resignation toward the end. You knew this—I’ve always been a good liar.”
Janet met Mason’s eyes and smiled ruefully. All of a sudden, Mason felt sore and painful in his chest as if something had hit it. He felt like his heart was going to split in half. Narrowing his eyes, he asked coldly, “Janet Jackson, what do you take me for?” Why does she always ditch me when we’re faced with danger or difficulties? What exactly does she take our relationship for?
Janet paused for a while, and her fingers trembled as she felt distressed. “Please don’t overthink this.”
Hearing her response, Mason sneered coldly, “What’s done is done. Go ahead and leave.”
Pursing her lips, Janet opened the windows and was about to jump out of it. However, just then, Mason’s deep voice emerged from behind again. “If you leave this house, we’re through.”
Janet’s breath hitched for a moment. Then, she closed her eyes and said, “I’m sorry.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1138
Does Your Promise Still Count?
Mason already knew Janet wouldn’t stay, but hearing her mouth those three words at that moment felt like a stab in his heart.
Mason closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. “Does your promise to dry my hair every day still count?”
Janet was at a loss for words. She parted her lips and said, “Of course, if I can make it back and you’re willing to forgive me.”
What does she mean by ‘if she can make it back’? Mason gritted his teeth and sneered, “Forget about it. Just do as you please. I’m nobody to you anyway.” Who am I to her? Our relationship started because I was the one who pestered her. If it wasn’t because of that, she probably wouldn’t be interested in me either. With that, Mason closed his eyes weakly.
Janet turned around and stared intently at him. Even though Mason had lost his consciousness, his brows were still knitted. She knew everything he said earlier was out of anger, but no matter what would happen to their relationship in the end, she couldn’t possibly bring him along this time.
“Please forgive me for being selfish.” Janet lowered her head and kissed Mason’s lips gently.
Suddenly, Mason’s phone rang. Janet took a look at it and saw that the caller was Sean. Without hesitation, she hung it up immediately. Then, she stood up, took up the half-filled glass from the table and gulped down the water. After that, she placed the glass gently back onto the table.
…
It was 12 midnight. Lee was already waiting in the airplane at a private airport. Besides Lee, Lara and Desire were tagging along too. Upon seeing Janet’s arrival, the three of them came down to greet her.
Lee felt strange seeing Janet come alone. When Janet walked closer, he asked, “Janet, where’s Mason?”
Janet looked at Lee indifferently and said, “He’s not coming.”
Hearing that, Lara frowned and tutted. “How can he not come? Isn’t he worried about letting you head to Yobril alone?”
Desire thought it was inappropriate too. “Janet, what’s with him? Even if he’s not coming personally, you should have asked for some men from him.”
Meanwhile, Lee furrowed his brows and said nothing as he awaited Janet’s reply.
“I’m the one who stopped him from coming,” Janet blurted coldly. Feeling crappy, she gave off an intimidating aura.
Hearing that, her three companions clammed up at once.
After boarding the plane, the three stayed in the front cabin while Janet rested in the lounge. Lee gave Lara a look and said, “She doesn’t look like she’s in a good mood. Please go and check on her.”
Lara was intimidated by Janet’s vehemence, so she was reluctant to go.
After all, Janet would ignore everyone when she was angry.
Lee couldn’t bear to see her in such a state, so he stood up and walked toward the lounge.
Hearing footsteps approaching her, Janet, who was initially resting, opened her eyes and lifted her head. Her gaze paused at Lee for a few minutes. Then, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Lee walked gently to her and sat down beside her. “Did you and Mason have a fight?” he asked nonchalantly.
Janet’s voice was a little hoarse. “No.”
“Janet.” Lee pushed his glasses up and said in a serious manner, “You can’t bluff me.” He had known her for so long. Obviously, he knew Janet’s temperament very well.
Janet pursed her lips and sneered after a few seconds, “Yeah, we had a fight. He even said we’re through.”
Lee was shocked and rendered speechless. “It’s impossible for him to say such things.” Everyone could tell that Mason loved Janet, and he wouldn’t say such harsh words even if they had an argument.
Janet looked at the clouds outside the window and croaked, “I’m the one who lied to him. He couldn’t come because I injected him with a strong anesthesia.”

Do You Believe In Dreams?
Lee looked at Janet’s grim face in astonishment. “W-Why did you do that?”
He just couldn’t comprehend. They could have defeated Corey by joining forces with Mason, but Janet actually played tricks like this to stop Mason from coming.
Janet cast a glance at Lee and croaked, “Lee, do you believe in dreams?”
Lee was startled for quite a while before replying, “Nope.” Then, he continued, “Did you dream of something? Don’t tell me you believe in it.”
Janet crossed her arms and sneered, “I had a dream that he was injured. There was blood all over his face, and he passed out in the ICU. I didn’t only have this dream once but twice. Today, Sheldon told me that Melissa developed a biological virus. Anyone who is infected by this virus will be poisoned and will die in 48 hours. The antidote Melissa had in her lab was stolen away by Corey. Can you understand my fear now?”
Lee became stiff as his eyes turned gloomy. The woman in front of him had always been tough and invincible. There was no weakness that could be found in her. However, she had one now.
Before this, everyone said that she was Mason’s weakness, but now, Lee realized that Mason was her weakness too.
The word ‘fear’ was too heavy. Lee didn’t dare to continue asking and went back to the front cabin sensibly while Janet continued to gaze profoundly outside the window. She only knew the danger of having the virus in Corey’s hands.
However, she had no clue about the virus’ composition, so she wasn’t able to develop an antidote. She could only develop the antidote if she knew the composition of it. Therefore, she must obtain the virus from Corey. She couldn’t imagine the consequences if Corey used the virus to harm others. Hence, she definitely couldn’t allow Corey to continue doing as he pleased. He deserves death!
…
Meanwhile, 2 hours after Sean’s call was hung up by Janet, the former finally couldn’t sit still any longer.
In the past, Mason would call him back no matter how urgent of a matter he had to attend to. However, this time, Mason had not picked up his call even after multiple attempts. For some reason, Sean had a bad feeling. At this thought, he quickly called Janet.
On the other end, Janet turned on the phone screen indifferently after hearing it ring and upon seeing Sean’s incoming call, she frowned. After hesitating for a while, she decided to answer it.
“What’s the matter?” Her voice was cold and apathetic.
“Uhmm…” Sean then told Janet about the situation. “So are you with Mr. Lowry now?”
Janet’s fingers twitched as she took a deep breath and replied calmly, “No.” Thereafter, she hung up the call immediately.
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Sean was perplexed. Eventually, he decided to head toward the Lowry Residence as he still felt that something wasn’t right.
…
When Sean arrived, Mason was lying on the bed as he had already lost consciousness. Upon seeing Mason’s condition, Sean quickly summoned the family doctor.
The chaos even alarmed Old Madam Lowry, who was sleeping. She was shocked to see such a scene. “How’s my grandson, doctor?”
After checking up on Mason, the doctor pushed his glasses up and said, “There’s a small hole at the back of Mr. Lowry’s neck. Someone might have injected him with an anesthetic.”
Sean was stunned hearing that. Moments later, he found a syringe in the room’s rubbish bin. There was no liquid in the syringe, so Sean reckoned this was the one used on Mason. Who would have the guts to do such a thing and also have the ability to make Mason put his guard down? Only one person comes to mind.
Old Madam Lowry looked around and exclaimed, “Where’s my granddaughter-in-law?”
Sean mumbled after a long silence, “Please calm down, Old Madam Lowry. If my guess is right, it was Miss Jackson who injected Mr. Lowry with the anesthesia.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1140
Awaken
The doctor who was standing by the side remained silent as he had probably had the same guess.
Old Madam Lowry blinked in shock. Janet injected Mason with anesthesia? Did they have an argument? How can this be!
Sean looked toward the doctor and asked, “How long will it take for Mr. Lowry to wake up?”
The doctor pushed his glasses up and replied, “I’ve already injected the antidote into Mr. Lowry, but the anesthesia used on him was very strong. So, it might take a few more hours for him to regain consciousness.”
“I see. Thank you.” With that, Sean walked the doctor out.
On the other hand, Old Madam Lowry was still pondering on Sean’s statement as she still couldn’t put her head around it. “What exactly is going on?” She stared at Sean and sighed.
Sean patted her shoulder and cooed, “Please don’t be worried, Old Madam Lowry. Although Mr. Lowry was injected with some strong anesthesia, I believe Miss Jackson wouldn’t harm him, so it shouldn’t be a big issue.”
“Of course I know that, but I’m worried about Janet…”
With his eyes darkened, Sean did not tell Old Madam Lowry about the findings from his investigation.
…
Meanwhile, in Yobril.
Janet was walking down the plane with a few other people who emanated the same strong aura behind her.
Earlier on, Lee had already arranged for people to receive them in Yobril. As such, Janet walked straight toward the car and got into it. Then, she glanced at the driver and ordered coldly, “Head to Fuller Corporation.” Currently, Sheldon might be the only person who knew where Corey was at.
“Janet, what if Sheldon refuses to tell us?” Lara asked worriedly. After all, Corey was the president of Markovia––not to mention, the virus was in his hands, so Sheldon might not recklessly expose his whereabouts and bring trouble to himself.
“I dare him to.” Janet laughed and said arrogantly, “I’ve already contacted some men in Markovia. If he refuses to tell us, I’ll ask them to blast his company immediately.”
As soon as Lara heard that, her face turned pale immediately. Although Janet made the statement in a calm voice, what she said was appalling. She has already arranged for people to take care of this matter? How efficient!
…
Meanwhile, on the other end, Mason, who was lying on the bed, frowned slightly and let out a deep moan, causing everyone to look toward him subconsciously.
“Go get some water for Mr. Lowry,” Sean quickly ordered the servant beside him.
The servant nodded and walked out. On the way, the servant also notified Old Madam Lowry who was resting in the opposite room.
Just then, Mason opened his eyes slowly. He had gradually regained consciousness but still had some difficulty getting out of bed.
In fact, the effect of this strong anesthesia was meant to last for 24 hours. Even with the antidote, it would take 4 hours for a normal person to regain consciousness, but Mason actually came around in less than an hour. The doctor said that this was because he subconsciously knew that he had to come around as soon as possible.
Mason furrowed his brows as he gave off a ghastly, frigid aura. He looked around the room and fixed his gaze on Sean. “Where is she?” he asked coldly.
Naturally, Sean knew who Mason was referring to. With that, he took a deep breath and answered calmly with a solemn look, “Mr. Lowry, Young Miss Jackson was nowhere to be found when I arrived here in a hurry.”
Hearing that, Mason sneered. Indeed, she had already left before I went into a coma. How foolish am I to still look for her!
Just then, Old Madam Lowry walked in and asked anxiously, “Are you okay, Mason?”
Mason nodded with a straight face. “Yeah.”
“Sean said that it was J-Janet who injected you with anesthesia. What exactly is going on?”
Mason pursed his lips and felt his heart splitting in half. He shook his head and hummed calmly, “Don’t worry about me, Grandma. Please go back to sleep.”
Old Madam Lowry wasn’t able to obtain an answer no matter how she questioned Mason, so she decided to leave him alone and dismissed the others, leaving Sean and Mason alone in the room toward the end.
Sean looked at Mason and asked, “Mr. Lowry, should I get some men to go and find Young Miss Jackson?”
However, Mason merely pursed his lips and remained silent.
