Ch. 191..200
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 191
Upon hearing that, the man in black nodded in reply and hurried from the study. Meanwhile, in the Jackson residence, Janet sat cross-legged on the ground and her slender, fair fingers tapped on the keyboard, exuding a sense of anger. She exhaled slowly. I can’t believe it! They detained my books without any reason and now my fans have to wait for a few days!
She had tried to hack into the government website to find out who was behind Black Rain but she couldn’t find anything. Hmph! He was so arrogant and rude. I’m sure that he’s well hidden because he’s afraid of being retaliated against. Janet gritted her teeth and secretly vowed that if she found out who that man was, she would hit him hard in the head.
The next morning, all four members of The Beasts came to Janet’s house to pick her up. Now that Megan knew who they were, she didn’t stop them and was rest assured to let them hang out with Janet.
However, Emily scoffed when she saw them and whispered, “Tsk, birds of a feather do flock together! What a bunch of hillbillies!” When Janet saw Dexter and the others, she walked over to them. He had a croissant in hand and was holding it out to her. “Boss, this is for you!” Tyler also handed the coffee he was holding to Janet. “Boss, have some coffee!” Then, Luke proceeded to hand her a box of fruits. “Have some fruits, Boss!” Leo, on the other hand, didn’t have anything. The four of them looked at Janet with bright smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, Janet felt an instant chill down her spine. Rubbing her arms for warmth, she pouted and asked, “Why are you trying to please me? What agenda do you have?”
“None. We’re just concerned about you. Did you sleep well last night?” The Beasts asked as they looked at Janet in anticipation. She took a sip of coffee and as the taste of coffee hit her tongue, she instantly felt much better.
“What do you want?” she pressed. Looking embarrassed, the four of them scratched their heads and asked, “Boss, did you go to Leamore Lane last night?”
“Who told you that?” Janet asked with a blank expression.
“Desire told us. She came to our apartment last night!” They even had Desire describe the scene to them… It was absolutely amazing! After they heard the news from Desire, they were so excited to meet Janet that they woke up early the next day to pick her up. Upon hearing, Janet calmly replied, “Oh.”
Why is Boss talking like this? Are our intentions not obvious enough? We want to go with Boss too! The four of them lowered their heads in disappointment and said nothing.
“Oh!” Janet realized their intentions at a glance so she lured them in by saying, “You want to follow me to Lone City, don’t you?” Hearing this, the four of them nodded in excitement and replied, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
“In your dreams!”
When The Beasts heard Janet’s cold reply, they felt as if they were splashed with a bucket of cold water. With that, she walked away joyfully while The Beasts watched her leave and sighed in disappointment. Boss is so biased; she lets Desire and Lara join every task!
Later on in Class F, as soon as Janet entered the classroom, she heard cries and howls of sadness. “Oh my goodness! My heart is shattered into a million pieces.”
“Me too. I waited for so long last night but I didn’t manage to buy Rose’s book.”
“Exactly! My boyfriend asked me to head out for a date last night but I refused him so that I could be near my computer to buy her book.”
“I wonder what happened to Rose. I can’t believe she delayed her book sales!”
“We can only wait. I hope that her book will be on sale tomorrow!”
Janet’s mouth twitched. She didn’t expect that there were so many supporters in her class. Should I be happy or worried? When Janet put her bag down, she suddenly felt that something was off. At that moment, the usually lively and joyful Abby was lying on the table like a wilted flower. “What’s wrong, girl?” Janet asked in concern.
Abby pouted her chubby face and replied, “I’m really upset!” She looked as if all the energy was depleted from her body.
“What happened?”
Abby wailed, “Rose’s book didn’t go on sale last night! I waited for so long!” As she spoke, she slammed her fist on the table in frustration and her reaction drew Gordon’s attention. Sitting behind her, he patted Abby’s shoulder and asked softly, “Do you want her book?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 192
“Yeah, I’m a big fan of Rose. If only I can have one physical copy of Rose’s book, I’ll be ecstatic!” Hearing this, Gordon nodded and said nothing. Janet never thought that Abby would also be her fan… I wonder if I should be happy… or worried! After giving it some thought, she recalled that she brought a physical copy over when she first arrived at the Jackson residence. If I’m not mistaken, I put it in my closet. Since Abby likes Rose so much, I’ll just give it to her.
…
The first class passed by quickly. Daisy had been teaching Class F for many years but she had never felt so happy. The minute she saw Miss Lilian’s sullen expression when she first arrived at the office early in the morning, she felt even more triumphant.
After class, she hummed all the way back to the office and the other teachers jokingly asked, “Miss Daisy, are you in a good mood?” One of the teachers chimed in and said, “Of course she is. Her class won the basketball competition yesterday.”
“Furthermore, it was Janet who unexpectedly defeated Class A.”
“I have to admit I watched Janet’s basketball video. She was awesome! Even someone like me who doesn’t like basketball was in awe of her skills!”
Daisy chuckled and said, “Really? If you like it then you should watch a few more times.” Miss Lilian, who was standing to one side, snorted coldly and muttered, “What’s the point of playing basketball well while her academic performance is so poor? Class F will surely come last during the college entrance examination.” As soon as Miss Lilian said this, the other teachers could sense jealousy floating around the office. All of them shook their heads and clicked their tongues. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! She’s just sore about the competition yesterday!
Looking at Miss Lilian’s bitter expression, Daisy deliberately raised her voice and said, “Even if we get the last place in terms of grades, at least we will never lose to any class in basketball.” It was obvious her words were targeted at Miss Lilian. Hmph! Upon hearing that, Miss Lilian was so furious that she put down the files in her hands and left. She was certain that she was destined to be enemies with Miss Daisy from Class F.
After class, Janet heard a few girls whisper among each other as she was on her way to the washroom. One of them said disappointedly, “I sent a friend request to Janet yesterday but she didn’t accept it!”
“Me too. Is it possible that she didn’t see it?”
“Did she take the bad things we said about her to heart?”
“Boo! I’m sad. I wonder whether she’s holding a grudge?”
“I watched the recording of the basketball competition the whole night yesterday and I think I like her.”
“What should we do? Do you think she’ll talk to us if we take initiative to talk to her?”
All of a sudden, Janet heard a familiar voice. “Tsk! Hillbillies really like to make friends with their own kind!” Madelaine turned to Emily and said, “Don’t you think so?”
Hearing this, Emily smirked and replied, “Hmph! So what if she’s good at basketball? She only got 200 points for her final exam.” When the few girls heard this, they were slightly upset. Then, they bravely stepped forward and rebuked Emily for the first time, “Emily, don’t you think that your words are pointless? You’re the reason she didn’t get good grades this time!”
“She’s right! If you didn’t steal her painting and force her to join in the painting competition, she would’ve had time to study!”
“That’s right. But now you’re still talking bad behind her back! You really are a ‘Little Mouse’.” Students from Class F still remembered Emily’s nickname ‘Little Mouse’ clearly. Listening to their mockery and jeers, Emily put her hands on her hips and angrily walked away. What’s the big deal? They are all just birds of a feather. I’m the daughter of the Jackson family and I’m not even bothered to make friends with them.
Upon returning to the classroom, Janet noticed there were a few people looking at her hesitantly, as if they had something to say to her. However, she played with her phone like nothing was amiss. All of a sudden, a few of her classmates approached her and stuttered as they asked, “Janet, can I add you on Messenger?”
Hearing this, Janet looked up at them with a blank expression. When they saw her reaction, they were a little disappointed. Knowing Janet, she probably won’t agree.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 193
Little did they know that Janet would reply… “Alright, just add me from the group chat.” Janet always had a cold attitude no matter if she felt resentment or hatred. Her master used to tell her that she was too soft-hearted and this would affect big decisions. But sometimes, being soft-hearted was a better option.
Hearing this, her few classmates were dumbfounded and a few girls even started whispering, “I’m not dreaming, am I? Did she just agree to accept our friend request?”
“I’m so jealous of you! I wonder if she would agree to accept mine. After all, I said many hurtful things to her in the past…”
“I heard Emily from Class A insulting Janet in the washroom just now so I rebuked her, which made her storm off angrily!”
“Really? I don’t have the guts to provoke Emily. I’m much too afraid of her…”
“To be honest, I didn’t like Janet at first because she beat up our campus belle, Jennifer, so badly that she dropped out. However, after spending some time with Janet, I think she’s a good person!”
“I feel the same way too! I started thinking that way after watching the basketball competition…”
“Me too!”
Abby frowned and looked at the enthusiastic crowd in frustration. If Janet accepts their friend requests, I won’t be Janet’s only friend anymore… Oh, just thinking of it hurts my heart! Meanwhile, The Beasts were speechless. Boss had attracted many fans after her performance at the basketball competition, but what about us? Why is nobody asking us for our Messenger contact? Why are they treating us as if we’re invisible?
As a result, after Janet nodded in agreement, her fingers never stopped pressing the ‘accept’ button throughout the whole period. All I did was play basketball in front of them. Is it necessary to act this way? After classes had ended for the day, Dennis walked to Class F with a basketball in hand. When everybody saw him wandering around the corridor, they asked, “Hey, Dennis! Who are you looking for?” After a moment of hesitation, Dennis replied, “Hey, can you ask Janet to come over here?”
“Janet?” The students repeated to make sure they hadn’t misheard him. At that moment, Janet was asleep and had no idea that Dennis was looking for her. “Janet,” a classmate whispered as she lightly poked her arm.
“What?” Janet was still half-asleep but everybody heard her cold voice. “Someone’s looking for you!” Her classmates shouted as they pointed at Dennis who stood at the doorway. Upon following their gaze, she thought, Why do I have a feeling that I’ve seen him before…
Getting up from her seat, she slowly walked over. Looking at Dennis, she asked, “Is there something I can help you with?”
“Janet, let’s play a round of basketball after school and we can also have dinner together later,” Dennis said, thinking he was charming.
Basketball? It suddenly dawned on her. No wonder this person looks so familiar! He’s a student from Class A. Seeing that there was a boy trying to flirt with Janet, The Beasts hurriedly got up and ran over. Before Janet could reply, they quickly interrupted, “Hey, Dennis! Are you here to invite her to play basketball? We’ll play with you too!”
“I…” Dennis looked at Janet awkwardly, hoping that she would help him out. Meanwhile, Janet secretly rolled her eyes at him and outright refused, “Sorry, I’m busy!” With that, she returned to her seat. The students from Class F looked at Dennis and sneered, “Why does he even have the balls to invite Janet to play basketball? Did he forget that Class A played dirty during the basketball competition?”
“You’re right. The people from Class A are just so arrogant and ignorant.”
After Dennis heard the words of the students from Class F, he immediately froze. It wasn’t me who tripped Janet; I wouldn’t want to hurt her. However, seeing that Janet had refused him, he had no choice but to leave. When his classmates from Class A saw that he had returned empty-handed, they hurriedly asked in concern, “Where’s ‘Little Pepper’? Did she agree to your invitation?”
Dennis angrily hit the ball and muttered, “No!”
Then, the students from Class A sneered, “What’s so good about ‘Little Pepper’ anyways? She just knows how to play basketball! There’s this saying that if a girl is fierce, she would surely have violent tendencies!”
“I agree. An obedient and elegant girl would never pick a fight with others.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 194
“I can’t believe she’s so arrogant that she refused Dennis’ personal invitation.”
“Everyone knows that she’s just trying to play hard to get!”
Hearing this, Dennis lowered his head and was deep in thought. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
After school, Janet didn’t return to the Jackson residence but went to the Royal Garden instead. Every time the security guard saw her, he would bow at a ninety degree angle every time she went to Royal Garden, completely different from the man who spoke in an arrogant tone when they first met. Sitting cross-legged on the blanket in the living room, Janet looked at Dexter, Tyler, Luke, as well as Leo and asked, “Do you want to go to the basement in Lone City tomorrow?”
The Beasts glanced at each other in shock. “Boss, does this mean that you’re letting us come along?” Janet nodded and replied, “Yes, but you must first pass my test.” Test? The four of them glanced at each other and immediately sat up straighter. “We’re ready, Boss.”
Then, Dexter jokingly said, “Boss, if you’re giving us a test that we’ve trained for, it would be a piece of cake.” Hearing this, Janet smirked and answered, “Really?” With that, she asked the four of them to pull out their laptops and gave them the link to Black Rain’s website. “As long as you can hack into this website, I’ll take you with me tomorrow.” At the same time, she could also get a feel of their training in Markovia.
“Easy!” Leo chuckled delightfully as he looked at the link on his laptop. “This will be a piece of cake.” Janet folded her arms and countered, “Oh, really?”
The four of them nodded seriously and replied, “We had Lara as our teacher. She’s one of the top five hackers in the world! How can we, as her students, be unable to hack into such a simple system?” When Janet heard this, she smiled deviously. Has Lara ever told them that her teacher is none other than the person sitting right in front of them? After The Beasts finished speaking, they started working on their laptops. Looking at the layers of the system that they successfully hacked through, they grinned in delight. I can’t believe Boss gave us such an easy test! We’ll definitely be able to go to the basement in Lone City tomorrow!
When there were only two layers of firewall left, all four members of The Beasts looked confused. What’s going on? Why am I rejected every time I try to hack in? Am I blocked from entering or is there no such system at all? The first time they received a notification that they failed to break through the firewall, they thought they had made a mistake. Later, they tried for eight times consecutively but got the same results. Looking at their sad faces, Janet jokingly asked, “Are you done? It was easy, wasn’t it?”
Hearing this, Dexter, Tyler, Luke and Leo looked even more sullen. W-What kind of a firewall system is this? Why is it so hard to hack into? The four of them frowned hard and began to crack their heads. Seeing this, Janet opened her laptop and with a devious smile, she said, “With your skills, you won’t be able to hack in even if you tried for a decade.” The four of them were rendered speechless. Then, Tyler blinked and with a look of anticipation on his face, he asked, “Boss, can you do it?”
Janet didn’t dare lie. After all, she spent the whole night trying to figure out Black Rain’s system and didn’t even sleep well, yet her multiple attempts had failed… Let me give it another try. Janet rubbed her palms together before her slender fingers started tapping on the keyboard at a fast pace. Meanwhile, The Beasts watched Janet’s every movement without blinking, fearing they might miss a detail. At that moment, Janet frowned slightly. Her previous failed attempts managed to save her a lot of time because she now avoided the mistakes she had made. The next second, they saw two green words appear on the screen, ‘Black Rain’. Seeing this, her eyes instantly lit up.
Did I finally break through the firewall? Looking at the green words on her screen, The Beasts screamed in excitement. “Boss, you did it!”
“Boss, you’re amazing!”
Boss managed to hack into such a strong firewall in a short time. It didn’t even take her more than five minutes! She is worthy to be our boss.
Looking at their starry eyes, Janet shook her head helplessly. Then, she clicked in and just when she was about to find out what they were hiding, a few words suddenly appeared: ‘Please enter the password.’
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 195
Janet was dumbfounded. What the h*ll? It still requires a password? Why is this so troublesome? I bet it’s because the leader of Black Rain is afraid that people would take revenge because of his cruel methods.
Meanwhile at Lowry’s Family Conglomerate, their hacker received a notification: ‘Someone is trying to hack into the Black Rain system. Please strengthen defense.’ Seeing this, he quickly clicked into the Black Rain system and added a few more layers of firewalls. However, no matter how hard he tried, he kept receiving warning notifications. The hacker immediately put down his work at hand and told Sean about it. As soon as Sean received the news, he hurriedly reported it to Young Master Mason.
Sean pushed the door open, entering the room and said anxiously, “Young Master Mason, someone is trying to hack into Black Rain’s system. There’s only one last password layer left. What should we do?” As the man sitting on the leather chair heard this, he frowned and asked, “We’re being hacked? Can’t our hackers deal with it?” Wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, Sean replied, “They tried, but the opponent is too strong.”
Hearing this, Mason frowned in frustration. Which b*stard dares to hack into my system? If I find out who it is, I’ll make sure he’ll regret it for the rest of his life. He turned on his computer and entered Black Rain’s firewall system. Surprised, Sean asked, “Young Master Mason, are you going to deal with it personally?” “Yes,” Mason replied coldly. If I don’t do anything, our secrets will be exposed.
At the other end, just as Janet was about to decipher the password, another account entered the system and pushed her ID out. Who is this? I’ve been hacking systems for so many years and this has never happened before. It seems like things are getting interesting.
Looking at the grin on Janet’s face, The Beasts knew that she was about to get serious. However, amateurs like them couldn’t even hope to understand what they were looking at. Luke asked in concern, “Boss, are you dealing with an expert?”
Janet only smirked. “No. My opponent is an expert among experts.”
At that moment in Lowry Family’s Conglomerate, Sean felt dizzy just by staring at the codes on Mason’s computer. People who can understand these things definitely have an IQ over 250. After watching Young Master Mason, I’m positive that his IQ is definitely over 250. In the several years that Sean had been working alongside Mason, he had never seen him look so serious before.
“Young Master Mason, is the opponent an expert?” Sean asked carefully. “No!” Mason smiled deviously and replied, “The opponent is an expert among experts.”
There were very few top hackers in the world and it was the first time he had encountered such a strong opponent. No doubt that this person is definitely shrewd and experienced.
Half an hour later, the battle between the two was still ongoing. Mason kept strengthening the defense system while Janet continued to hack into it. Since her books were detained, she was desperate to find out who the leader of Black Rain was. However, it was at that moment that she realized she had underestimated him.
Janet’s hands were starting to cramp and she thought, Well then, since I can’t hack into the system, I’ll give them a hard blow at the end. If I can’t break through and go through their information, at least I have to set a trap. I simply cannot let all my efforts be in vain. With that, her fingers tapped on the last key and she smiled. “It’s over.”
On the other side, Mason frowned in anger as he looked at the system that the opponent had crashed. It took a lot of time and effort to build a system for Black Rain but it ended up being easily destroyed by his opponent. Gritting his teeth, he saw red and his eyes looked bloodthirsty. If I catch this hacker, I’ll definitely skin this person alive. Looking at the eerie and terrifying look on Mason’s face, Sean asked worriedly, “Young Master Mason, what happened?”
Mason stood up and his expression turned sullen. “The opponent crashed Black Rain’s system.”
The simple sentence managed to make Sean fall to the ground in shock. “T-The opponent crashed the system?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 196
This person actually managed to crash Black Rain’s system? Most importantly, where did this person find the courage to mess with Black Rain’s system? Mason is well-known for his cruel methods and bad temper. How dare this person crash the defense system that he personally built? He must be really bold.
At that moment, Sean could only silently pray that this person was well hidden so that he wouldn’t be caught and skinned alive by Young Master Mason. In the end, Dexter, Tyler, Luke and Leo kept pestering and begging Janet to let them follow her to the basement in Lone City tomorrow. Not being able to deal with their aggravation, Janet had no choice but to nod and agree.
Although I couldn’t find out who the leader of Black Rain was, at least I crashed his system. Repairing the system will take several months and it’s enough for me to try hacking into it again. Moreover, the thought of being able to receive the batch of books tomorrow made her feel as if a heavy burden was lifted.
She was so relaxed that night that she took a shower, put on a face mask, and even returned to her room with a watermelon in hand. Janet sat cross-legged as she scrolled through Twitter while gnawing on the watermelon. All of a sudden, she saw news about Sandfort Autumn Car Racing Tournament in the hot search bar.
The race would be starting next week. Seeing this, Janet felt her heart skip a beat because she almost missed the fifty million reward. Janet was happy to join such a thrilling and simple competition so she hurriedly sent a message to Lee. ‘Help me sign up for Sandfort’s Autumn Car Racing Tournament and remember to be anonymous.’
She soon got a reply from Lee. ‘I understand.’ The corners of Janet’s lips curled upward slightly before she took a big bite of the watermelon in her hand. It’s delicious; almost as good as the ones I used to plant in the countryside.
…
In the middle of the night, Janet was sleeping when she heard a faint noise from outside the window. Is it Mason? Probably not. We haven’t met in a long time since he confessed his feelings to me. In the darkness, Janet was about to turn on the lights to see what was going on when she suddenly a familiar smell came from beside her.
Her slender waist was circled by a man’s muscular arms and Janet broke out in cold sweat. Then, she heard his sexy and charming voice coming from above her head. “Don’t move! It’s me.”
After a few days without meeting Janet, Mason finally realized how much he missed her. However, he was busy dealing with a series of troublesome issues. When he heard that another boy from Janet’s school had flirted with her, he couldn’t hold back anymore and put off his work to come seek her out. At that moment, Mason wished that he could hold her in his arms forever. She had a special scent that could soothe his anxious emotions.
When Janet heard Mason’s voice, she froze and forgot to fight back for a while. Her slender, fair fingers tightly gripped the covers and her eyes were half-lidded. She slowly turned around and as soon as she did, her face pressed against the man’s muscular chest.
Opening her eyes, she looked at the darkness outside the window and was instantly speechless. “Why are you here at such a late hour?” Mason held her in his arms and leaned in close to her ear, whispering, “I’m in a bad mood today.” He was tortured by the fearless hacker all day so naturally, he was upset.
The corner of Janet’s lips twitched. “You’re here because you’re in a bad mood. But what about me? I’ve been in a bad mood for the past few days; who should I go to?” Hearing this, Mason felt his heart sink. He gently lifted her chin with his slender fingers and asked, “Who offended you?” Who dares to bully my woman? I’ll skin him alive.
“No one.” Janet’s voice was hoarse as she spoke. “Now that you’ve gotten your hug, how long are you planning to stay here?” She changed the topic to avoid revealing her identity. Unexpectedly, Mason looked even more solemn and his tone was intimidating as he said in a deep voice, “Was it that boy Dennis?” Hearing this, Janet was rendered speechless. “I know he went to your classroom to look for you today. Was it him who provoked you?”
Janet immediately narrowed her eyes and glared at him dangerously. “Are you spying on me?”
“No. I saw it on your school’s Reddit account.” The content of the Reddit post was revolting, saying that Janet rejected Dennis because she was playing hard to get.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 197
When Mason saw the post, he was so furious that he instantly hacked into the system and deleted it. Janet didn’t press for more information and pushed his shoulders. In an unbelievably coquettish tone, she said, “Let go of me! I’m tired!”
“No, Babe. I want to hold onto you. Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy.” Janet is an amazing woman; there’s no doubt that many men out there covet her. Mason lowered his gaze and looked at her. His tall body towered over her and with his two slender arms, he trapped her in his personal space as he calmly asked, “What should I do, Janet? You’re so amazing that I want to keep you by my side forever. I don’t want you to be seen by other men.”
Janet was speechless for a moment before she yelled, “Stop overthinking things!”
In a low and pitiful voice, Mason muttered, “Janet, why don’t you ever act coquettishly in front of me?” Without any hesitation, Janet pushed at Mason’s chest and shouted, “Get out of here now.” He didn’t move and continued hugging her as he reasoned, “It’s getting very late and it’s dangerous to drive on these roads. Is your heart made out of stone?”
What danger? You always secretly sneak into my room in the middle of the night! Janet suddenly blushed and said, “How can you be so unreasonable?” With a serious expression, Mason touched her pink lips and whispered, “Hush, keep your voice down. It’ll be troublesome if someone comes over.”
Janet took a deep breath and she turned around to get out of bed. “Well then, I’ll just go sleep somewhere else.” However, before she even got up, she felt something circle her thin waist and then she was pulled into Mason’s arms. She trembled in shock as Mason held her tight in his arms. Then, she felt a warm breath blowing at her ear. “Don’t move! I won’t touch you. But if you keep moving, I’m afraid I can’t promise not to.”
“You really are a rascal!” Janet said through gritted teeth. Mason held onto her small hands and in a mischievous tone, he whispered, “I’m only like this when I’m with you. You’ll be my lover sooner or later anyway.” Upon hearing, Janet rolled her eyes. Where did his confidence come from? How can he say such things? However, Janet no longer resisted him. Instead, she scooted over and slept near the corner of the bed. After a while, seeing that Mason had his eyes closed and was no longer touching her, Janet closed her eyes too. Looking at Janet’s peaceful face as she slept, Mason grinned. If Janet doesn’t treat me as hers, she wouldn’t be able to sleep so soundly in front of me.
When Janet woke up the next day, she realized that the man who was beside her was gone. I’m still fully clothed so probably nothing happened. However, I do remember someone pecking my forehead in my dreams last night. She reached out to touch her forehead and noticed that it was still damp and warm. It wasn’t long before her face turned as red as a tomato.
“Fck!” Janet angrily put on her slippers and walked to the bathroom to clean up. Realizing that her reflection in the mirror was unusually flushed, she bit on her toothbrush and roughly slapped her own face a few times. She then cursed under her breath, “Dmn it!” I didn’t know that I could blush!
After washing up and changing, Janet was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something so she walked to the dresser and grabbed a book. I almost forgot to give this book to Abby.
As soon as Janet entered Class F, she heard her classmates’ discussion about Rose’s book. “Rose’s book will be on sale tonight.”
“I have two of Rose’s books right now. If I manage to add ‘Warm Blade’ to my collection, I’ll have three.”
“Really? I didn’t know that you liked Rose so much.”
“Well, now you do!”
“I heard that ‘Warm Blade’ has a completely different theme and I’m really looking forward to reading it.”
At this moment, Janet walked to her seat and took out ‘Warm Blade’, placing it on her table and pushing it toward Abby. Abby was talking to her classmates at first and didn’t expect Janet to pull out the book she was just talking about.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 198
Abby looked down and immediately screamed in surprise. “Janet, why do you have a physical copy of Rose’s ‘Warm Blade’?” As soon as she finished speaking, the classmates around her instantly gathered and exclaimed in shock, “Really? Let me see!” Many students looked at the book in anticipation and excitement.
“Oh my God! This book even has Rose’s personal signature!”
“Really? Let me see if it’s real.”
As they spoke, another student pulled out another book with Rose’s signature and compared it to Abby’s book. “It’s real!”
“It really is her signature!”
“Oh my goodness! I’m so jealous!”
Turning to look at Janet in confusion, Abby asked, “Janet, where did you get this book from?”
Janet replied with a blank expression, “A friend gave it to me.”
Upon hearing, all of them said enviously, “Oh, I want a friend like that too!” Feeling touched and excited, Abby hugged Janet with tears in her eyes and coquettishly said, “Janet, you’re the best. Thank you so much!” Turns out that I still hold an important place in Janet’s heart.
Just then, Gordon had just returned to the classroom and saw Abby’s eyes were red but he didn’t know the reason. Then, he pulled out a book from his bag and placed it on Abby’s table. Abby immediately looked up at Gordon with a look of shock on her face.
Meeting her gaze, Gordon asked in a low voice, “What? Didn’t you say that you want this book?” Hearing this, the group of classmates that had dispersed gathered again and looked at Abby with envy. Abby nodded slowly in reply before she pulled out the copy that Janet had given her a moment ago. Seeing this, Gordon awkwardly reached out and took the book back without saying a word.
Looking at the book in Gordon’s hands, the group of classmates muttered jealousy, “I want one too!”
“People with the same social status as a Young Master Yaleman can probably get as many copies as they want.”
“I agree! I’m so jealous!”
Gordon looked up and casually threw the book to the side before saying coldly, “Whoever likes it can just take it.” Almost instantly, a few girls started fighting for the book. “I want it! Give it to me!” Abby turned around and glanced at them, feeling a little upset. I didn’t say that I don’t want it… Why did Gordon just give it to someone else…
Janet looked at the awkward two and grinned meaningfully to herself.
…
Meanwhile at Lowry Family’s Conglomerate, Mason’s subordinates were giving him a report about the goods they detained at Leamore Lane two days ago.
“Young Master Mason, we’ve gone through the goods in the truck one by one and made sure that there is no problem.”
Upon hearing that, the man on the sofa was silent for a moment and a sullen expression appeared on his face. Rubbing his temples in frustration, Mason thought to himself, It seems that I’ve been really sensitive lately. He pursed his lips tightly and with a cold expression he said, “If there’s nothing wrong, give them back to the owner.”
Mason’s subordinate immediately replied respectfully, “Understood.”
After the subordinate left, Sean, who was standing at the side, carefully asked, “Young Master Mason, we have misunderstood someone this time. Should we apologize?”
“Apologize?” Mason’s expression changed slightly and he glared coldly at Sean as he said, “Don’t you think that this person is the same person who crashed Black Rain’s system?”
Sean instantly tensed and he asked, “What do you mean?”
Mason explained, “The Black Rain system has been running for three years and nobody has been able to hack into it. But why did our system get hacked into and crash after this incident took place?”
Sean’s mind went blank for a moment before he quickly replied, “I understand now.”
Looking out the window, Mason said in a low voice, “Go and find out who the author is.”
“Yes, Young Master Mason!” After Sean left, Mason’s phone started ringing and it was a call from an unknown number. However, he still chose to answer it. Judging from the voice, the person on the other end was a middle-aged man and he respectfully asked, “Almighty Dark Shadow, are you free to join us at the Autumn Car Racing Tournament this Saturday?”
After hearing this, Mason was silent for a few beats before he replied, “Didn’t I already reject your invitation?”
“Oh! Well, this time we’re calling to invite you to be the judge. Will you do it?” the man from the other end of the phone asked, unwilling to give up.

“I’m not going!” With a firm rejection, he hung up the call. He couldn’t be bothered to attend this sort of insignificant competition.
…
After classes ended in Star High School, The Beasts gathered around Janet and asked, “Boss, are you collecting the goods from the basement of Lone City later?”
Not only did Janet not deny, she even teased them, “You’ve got quite a nerve to ask. I should give Lara a good lecture after this because she’s not being a good enough teacher.”
Upon hearing that, the other four pulled a long face. After all, they would never achieve the level Janet had even if they trained for their whole life.
Half an hour later, Janet brought The Beasts to the basement of Lone City. Meanwhile, Lara had arrived hours ago and was busy counting the goods. When Janet came, Lara bowed slightly and reported, “Janet, I’ve finished counting and the goods are complete.”
“Alright.” Janet nodded and instructed the others to transfer the books to the car.
Looking displeased, Lara said carefully, “Janet, these people not only detained our goods, they didn’t even apologize to me when they came today! How outrageous.” Lara knew that Janet’s fans had gone crazy and started chasing them for the books ever since.
Putting her hands in her pockets, Janet chuckled coldly. “It doesn’t matter even if they didn’t apologize. Anyway, I’ve hacked into Black Rain’s system.”
“You hacked in?” Lara was shocked.
With a smile, Janet found an empty seat and sat down while she looked at Lara and said seriously, “The Beasts aren’t experts in computers, it seems. In the end, I still had to do it myself.”
Upon hearing that, The Beasts quickly left this dangerous place with the excuse of helping the others to move the goods. Meanwhile, Lara was speechless. After all, everyone in the group knew that she was in charge of The Beasts. Although she was one of the world’s top five experts in computers, Janet was in a whole other league. Lowering her head, she bowed. “Janet, I have no excuse for that. I’m sorry.”
Janet was stunned and amused at the same time. “I wasn’t blaming you. However, if an expert has not undergone any training for a long time, he might be weaker than a beginner. I believe it’s time we summon the trainer from Markovia.”
Upon hearing that, Lara nodded. At the same time, she was moved that Janet always cared about those four.
Looking at the four bustling figures, Janet smiled. That night, she instructed someone to publish the link for ‘Warm Blade’ online and in just ten minutes, the book was sold out. That was an unprecedented achievement in history. Looking at the outpouring of positive comments, Janet felt delighted as well.
…
The next day when Janet stepped into the classroom, her classmates were gleefully holding the book in their hands.
“The delivery is superb! I just bought it last night and it was delivered this morning.”
“I received mine too. It seems like I won’t be bored during today’s class.”
“It’s such an affordable book with fast delivery. It must be a loss to Rose!”
“Rose definitely didn’t do it for profit; she’s doing it for her fans!”
In contrast to the smiling faces, there were some who frowned. Almost half of the students looked as dejected as wilted flowers, lying on the table wailing.
“Damn it! I would’ve gotten it if my hand hadn’t chosen that moment to have a cramp.”
“I didn’t get it either. I want to bang my head against the wall right now!”
“Hey, can you lend it to me after you finish reading it?”
However, those that managed to get the book didn’t want to let go of it. “No way. I’ll cry to death if my book is damaged.”
Hearing her classmates comments, Janet’s lips twitched. She turned, only to find Gordon being surrounded by her classmates, all of them looking at him with expectant eyes. “Gordon, can you get one for me? I’ll pay you whatever it costs.”
“Me too, me too! Please!”
“We know that you can get it. Can you please help us?”
Reluctant, Gordan waved his hand and said, “I don’t have it. I only managed to get that book with my friend’s help.”

With that, he looked at Janet, silently pleading for help. Janet, please get them away from me!
Understanding his imploring gaze, Janet smiled before she coughed and asked in a flat tone, “Do all of you want it too?”
Everyone’s attention diverted from Gordan to Janet and they nodded firmly. “Of course!”
“Alright, I’ll ask my friend to buy it,” said Janet calmly.
“Are you serious?” They couldn’t believe their ears. “Janet, I want it. I want it!” Regardless if it was true or not, they just signed up for it.
“Just come over and write down your name.” After pondering, Janet added, “I’ll ask my friend to buy it in bulk so that it’ll be cheaper.”
“Awesome! Count me in.”
“No, I said it first. Get back in line!”
At once, everyone left Gordon alone and gathered around Janet instead. Although she didn’t care for this small amount of money, she couldn’t give them for free either. Otherwise, everyone would start to wonder how she got these books.
In Class A, their topic of conversation was all about Rose’s book, accompanied by wails and howls. Some even had tears running down their faces. “I didn’t manage to get Rose’s book. As her loyal fan, I’m such a failure!”
“Sigh. Us too! Those fans must have gone crazy last night. Even with my nimble hand and lightning speed due to being single for 18 years, I still didn’t manage to get it. How disappointing!”
“I won’t give up. I must buy one no matter how much it costs!”
“Sigh. What’s the point? You can’t even get one now so no one will sell it to you no matter how much you offer to pay for it.”
As they talked about it, everyone started to sigh sadly. Right at that moment, someone screamed, “Ah! Does anyone of you want Rose’s book?!”
“Me! I want it!” everyone turned around and shouted.
Excitedly, that person rushed over and said, “When I went to Class F to meet my friend, they were putting down their names because Janet offered to buy the books for them!”
“Janet? She’s going to buy it?” The students in Class A widened their eyes in disbelief.
However, that person shook his head and replied excitedly, “I’m not sure either but I’ve asked my friend to sign me up too!”
“But Janet is from Class F. Isn’t it weird if we sign up to get it from her?” someone chimed in.
“Who cares? As long as I can get Rose’s book, I’m willing to do anything.”
After that, a large group of students swarmed to Class F. Emily stared at their backs in disdain. These are the betrayers of Class A!
Since Emily didn’t go, Madelaine restrained herself from going too. Although she loved Rose, she would never submit to Janet. “How pathetic is Janet? She’s just trying to get the students from Class A on her side.”
“Hmph! Seeking the limelight is all she thinks of everyday instead of studying.” Emily snorted. She really looked down upon Janet from the bottom of her heart.
Meanwhile, Class F was hemmed in by the students from Class A. Through the window, they called Janet and requested with a smile, “Janet, can you buy me a book too?”
When Janet looked up and saw those familiar faces, she pursed her lips and said without any expression, “Let me check if there’s any space left on the name list.”
The students outside the window waited in excitement. They were overjoyed since Janet was still willing to buy the book for them even though they had old grudges. However, their happiness was shattered the next second.
“It’s full,” Janet said calmly after pretending to check the name list.
“What?” Everyone looked shocked. How could it be full all of a sudden?
“Can you please try to buy a few more? Please.”
“Exactly. Can you please help us?” everyone implored.
This time, Janet didn’t even give them a reply nor did she look at them. Seeing that, the students from Class A who stood outside the window had no choice but to give up and return to their classroom in great disappointment.
“How is it possible that it suddenly becomes full when we got there?”
“Could it be that Janet didn’t want to help us in the first place?”
“I think that she’s just pretending! She’s probably trying to impress the others by promising to do something beyond her means.”
