Ch. 671..680
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 671
Mason looked at Janet; although he spoke in a calming tone, it carried with it an inexplicable emotion. “What do you plan to give me as a gift?”
While listening to him, she pursed her lips. Do people blatantly ask others for gifts? The light in her eyes flickered slightly as her voice remained cold and indifferent. “I haven’t thought about it.”
“It’s alright.” He then snatched her phone and leaned his body against her. “If you are my birthday gift this year, I’ll be even happier.”
With both of her hands pressed against the man’s chest, her voice became hoarse. “Your hand is still injured. Get up. Get up now.”
“Show me something and I’ll get up.” He refused to let go and used his injury to force her hand instead.
Janet could only sigh helplessly as she gently kissed the man’s thin lips with just a touch to comfort him. Unexpectedly, the man used his right hand to lift the back of her head and immediately deepened the kiss.
At the Lowry Residence, Janet sat in the living room while eating some fruits stoically to replenish her energy. If I actually give myself to the man on his birthday, I wonder how he’ll torture me.
As she thought about what was going to happen, her hands and feet immediately turned cold.
When the maid saw her sitting alone in a daze in the living room, she went over and asked quietly, “Miss Jackson, why are you sitting here alone in a daze? What are you thinking about?”
Janet shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
Then, she suddenly saw the figure of Sean from the corner of her eyes.
She only saw him returning to the house from outside, as if he was about to report something upstairs.
Therefore, Janet moved her lips and called for him.
Sean turned and adjusted his glasses while a trace of joy flashed through his eyes. Then, he walked toward her and asked respectfully, “Miss Jackson, what is it?”
After finding a comfortable posture, she crossed her legs and lowered her voice. “About… What kind of gifts does your master like?” To be honest, although I’ve been with him for such a long time, I never truly understood his interest and hobbies.
To be more precise, he was not interested in anything. He also did not have any hobbies at all. Therefore, it was really difficult to know what kind of gifts he liked.
Upon hearing her question, Sean thought for a few seconds while adjusting his glasses in the same manner as before. Suddenly, a hint of shrewdness flashed through his eyes, but it disappeared soon after. “There are not many things that Young Master Mason likes.” With that, he suddenly paused before continuing with his words. “However, he has been paying attention to an auction lately because it is offering a necklace that he particularly likes.”
“A necklace?” Janet raised her brows as she found it a little humorous. “Why would he like a necklace?”
He pushed his glasses upward and smiled. “It is a ring necklace—the ones made for lovebirds. If he receives it as his birthday gift, he’ll definitely love it.”
After a moment of silence, she nodded and looked around before speaking in a cold tone, “Please don’t tell him.”
“I understand.” Sean nodded and adjusted his glasses before he headed upstairs.
Upon seeing his back slowly disappear from view, Janet took out her phone and browsed the website of the auction he mentioned earlier.
Looks like it does have a couple’s ring necklace. Without any hesitation, she called Lara immediately. “Tell the person in charge of Markovia’s Pinnacle Auction that the necklace displayed on their website must be kept for me.”
Inside Mason’s study, there was a series of knocks on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
While staring at the computer screen, Mason’s eyes narrowed as he said solemnly, “Come on in.”
After Sean entered his office, he adjusted his glasses to conceal the joy in his eyes. “Young Master Mason.” He then walked straight to the front of the man and whispered. “Miss Jackson has asked me just now.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 672
After listening to him, Mason raised his brows nonchalantly while his eyes were filled with joy. “Did you tell her exactly what I told you before?”
“Yes, it looks like she believes it,” Sean truthfully answered.
Upon hearing that, there were a few hints of playfulness in the man’s dark eyes as he leaned backward on his leather armchair.
When his computer dinged, he turned the screen and spoke calmly, “I see it.” As expected, she will use her MX identity to attend this auction. After all, Markovia is J’Adore’s home turf.
Staring at the man seated on the chair, Sean felt confused. “Young Master Mason, why don’t you ask her yourself whether she is MX?”
The man smiled and looked toward his assistant with his subtle eyes. “This is the fun between couples. You won’t understand.” This little girl has tricked me for so long. If I don’t have fun with her, what’s the use of investigating this for so long?
Ever since Black Python and White Python returned from Yobril, Mason did not stop investigating the Sanders Family—one of the three major families.
It was because they claimed after their return that they saw Lee, the Young Master of the Sanders Family, heading on a mission with Janet.
In fact, it was not the first time that Mason saw the name ‘Lee’ pop up on Janet’s phone. Why would a young master from one of the three major families be on different missions with her?
It was not difficult to investigate the Sanders Family because they were the legends of Sandfort City! Lee was probably at the age of 20 when the once prosperous Sanders Family was desolated over a night. Then, Lee, who was defeated, was sold to Markovia through an illegal slave auction. If my guess is correct, he met Janet for the first time at that auction.
Mason did not know what happened afterward, but the documents showed that in just a year, Lee was able to slowly break down all the forces of the Sanders Family’s enterprise and overpower them so that he could take what was rightfully his.
From then onward, he wholeheartedly followed J’Adore—the person who bought him and she was Janet.
Before that, Mason thought that he could wait until Janet was willing to tell him about her identity as J’Adore on her own accord, but since he knew about her history with Lee, he could not remain calm about it any longer. Lee has suffered a lot in Markovia. I can see that Janet must have experienced many unimaginable difficulties for her to become the head of MX in Markovia. I must tell her that I’ll always be behind her. With the entire Lowry Family and the Lowry Family Conglomerate behind her, she doesn’t need to live such a tiresome life.
When a pair of cold eyes flashed through the man’s mind, he could not help but feel a pain in his heart.
The next day was a Saturday.
Janet changed her clothes to a neat black suit early in the morning.
After washing herself up, she went out of the room.
At that moment, Mason was reading the newspapers in the living room. As soon as he saw her, his eyes twitched slightly. She is now wearing a neat black suit. One might even think that she is heading out on a mission. “Why are you wearing an attire?” he asked.
“I’m going out today to deal with something.” Janet glanced at her phone to check her flight. Then, she looked at the man with some guilt and asked. “Are you free today?”
The corners of Mason’s phoenix-like eyes curled upward as he chuckled. “I’m also heading out on a business trip today.”
Upon listening to him, Janet let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn’t say that he wanted to follow me. After all, she felt that personally travelling to Markovia to buy a gift was a bit embarrassing. “Then, I’m heading off now!”
“So soon?”
“Um… Yes. The event is starting soon.”
Mason chuckled. “Go ahead then. Don’t be late.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 673
After that, Mason slightly raised his brows and gave a faint smile.
Janet shivered for a moment. Why do I feel that something is wrong?
After leaving the Lowry Residence, she could see Lara’s car parked outside the yard.
She broke into a jog all the way there and hopped into the car.
Looking at how gorgeously dressed she was, Lara winked and teased, “Why are we going all the way to Markovia just to buy a birthday gift? Janet, what are you thinking?”
Upon hearing her words, Janet gently quirked up her pink lips.
With her eyes lowered, she switched on her phone and took a look at the ring necklace again. “I can’t help it since he likes this.”
While sitting on the passenger seat, Lara teased again, “Janet, you really love your husband.” That limited edition auction item would cost at least tens of millions.
Janet slightly lifted her head and did not deny Lara’s claims.
“However, are you really going to reveal yourself on the night of your man’s birthday party?” One of them is the boss of Markovia and the other is the boss of Sandfort, which makes them a big-time character in Europe and Asia respectively. There’s no doubt that Markovia and Sandfort would be trending on the internet that night.
“Let’s see!” Janet leaned backward and slightly raised her eyebrow. It’s not necessary for me to decide whether to reveal myself or not.
In the Lowry Residence’s living room, Mason turned away after the figure gradually disappeared from his sight. That sly little girl. It’s now my turn to prank her.
“It’s time to go.” The man opened his thin lips slightly.
The gigglish voice that slowly emerged from his throat was deep and hoarse, but it was also sexy with traces of joy in it at the same time.
At the Pinnacle Auction in Markovia, the auction venue was a luxurious hall that combined both Eastern and Western design. It was obvious from the decor that it was a large-scale auction.
As Janet sat on the second floor, she scanned the situation below the stage and said to the girl in front of her, “Are we guaranteed to get the ring necklace in the auction?”
Lara, who was seated opposite Janet, nodded her head. “I’ve already informed them. If there aren’t any unforeseen circumstances, it will definitely be ours.”
Janet nodded with the J’Adore mask on her face while her delicate eyes perused the items at the venue.
“The Pinnacle Auction officially starts now.”
The host started calling for people to bid and the first few items were all successfully sold. In the end, the auction prices were in the range of tens of millions.
In the meantime, Janet crossed her legs as though she was watching a show. When she heard the host mentioning the ring necklace, she suddenly squinted her cold eyes, as if she was determined to get it.
Below the stage, the host explained, “The next auction item is a diamond ring necklace from South Africa, which is made for couples. Its name is ‘Trace of Love’. The starting price is 10 million.”
Janet slightly raised her eyebrow as she allowed Lara to yell an amount. “20 million.”
“100 million.”
While listening to the bid, Janet was dumbfounded for a moment.
Lara was also surprised. I’ve already inquired about today’s event. I thought no one’s bidding for ‘Trace of Love’ today, so why is someone snatching it away from us?
Without hesitation, Janet continued bidding. “200 million.”
“300 million.”
“400 million.”
“500 million!”
At that moment, the auction fell into a tense atmosphere.
Everyone looked toward the second floor at the same time and saw a person exiting the private room with a mask on her face.
With a cold voice, Janet instantly responded, “One billion.”
Upon hearing her bid, the man sitting in another private room chuckled. He lazily leaned against his seat and proceeded to slowly bid for the necklace, but he deepened his voice. “Two billion.”
It caused an uproar throughout the hall once again.
Everyone initially thought that 100 or 200 million was the limit, but the price had now reached two billion. “Which two lunatics raised the price of ‘Trace of Love’ to two billion?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 674
“That’s right. They are too immersed in their bids for that item.”
Janet gritted her teeth and looked at the woman in front of her with her reddened eyes. “Lara, how much money is left in the account?”
Lara wiped her sweat. “1.8 billion.”
Ever since they accepted the job from the divine doctor in Yobril, they did not accept other jobs, which meant that they did not have any income. It was nothing unusual to have only 1.8 billion left in the account when the master was an extravagant person.
Janet clenched her fist and cursed, “F*ck.” It’s rare to encounter something that Mason likes, but some psycho insists on snatching a mere necklace from me.
Lara was totally stupefied by her response.
“Are there any further bids?” the auctioneer asked when he noticed the strange atmosphere.
“Shall we continue bidding?” Lara’s voice trembled. If we continue to bid, I am afraid that the three of us won’t be able to return to Sandfort City!
Janet did not respond; her thin lips were pressed together in a hard line.
As seconds trickled by, the auctioneer on the stage brought down the hammer when he saw that nobody else was going to place further bids, sealing the deal.
Upon hearing the sound of the hammer falling, Janet raised her brow, giving her the look of a wicked and wayward person. “Let’s go and meet with that person.” I wonder who is the daredevil who has the courage to go against me in Markovia. Since a subtle approach didn’t work, it’s time to go head-to-head with this person.
On the other hand, Mason had completed his payment and received the necklace. As he looked at the pink shiny diamond, a smug look flashed across his eyes.
Sean scratched his nose. “Young Master Mason, do you think Miss Jackson will come over?”
Mason’s thin lips quirked up as a trace of amusement flashed across his eyes. He replied with an adamant voice, “She will come.” Because she knows that I like this. Based on her temper, she will surely hold a grudge against the person who snatched something from her in her territory.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a female’s voice. “Sir, please wait for a second.”
Janet followed the staff’s instructions and found the man, but she noticed that he was going to leave with the ‘Trace of Love’. She called out to him in haste.
With his back facing her, the corner of Mason’s lips curled up and he asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
Her voice was nonchalant. “Sir, do you mind selling me the ‘Trace of Love’ that you have in your hands?”
“Why should I do so?” He turned as his puzzlement replaced the smile that he had on his lips earlier.
Upon seeing his face, she lowered her eyes. The man had a deep gaze as he appraised the woman in front of him wearing an exquisite mask. Hints of scrutiny were found in his eyes when he deliberately exclaimed, “Hiss, it’s Miss J’Adore!”
Lara instantly lowered her head the moment she saw that it was Mason. Worried that the man would recognize her, she immediately left the scene. Her head was bowed. As Janet understood what Lara’s body language meant, she allowed her to leave without any question.
“That’s…” Mason pointed at Lara’s back.
Wearing the J’Adore mask, Janet narrowed her eyes. “She is my friend. She has something to deal with, so she took her leave first.”
“Oh, I see!” He chuckled. “I never expected that I would meet Miss J’Adore at the auction.”
Traces of guilt seemed to swim in her usually clear eyes. “I never expected you to make an appearance too, Mr. Lowry.”
Looking at her, Mason chuckled before slowly approaching Janet, who was wearing the mask of J’Adore. “Miss J’Adore, you said earlier that you like the ‘Trace of Love’, right?”
“Yes, I fancy it a lot.” Seeing that he was slowly drawing closer, she took a few steps back.
“Although I fancy it as well…” He sighed. “If it’s your request, Miss J’Adore, I will have to be a gentleman and give it to you, no?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 675
“Mr. Lowry, if I’m not mistaken, we only met two or three times, didn’t we?” Janet inhaled sharply.
Mason drew nearer toward her with a smile and he suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist while inhaling the scent on her neck. The scent on the girl confirmed his suspicion. Therefore, he enunciated, “But, I have fallen in love with you at first sight, Miss J’Adore. What should I do?”
Upon hearing that, her eyes widened and she abruptly pushed him away.
She did not know that Mason was such a playboy.
Her voice was cold with a hint of jealousy that even she herself failed to notice. “Mr. Lowry, we are merely business partners, to be precise. Yet, you have fallen in love with me?” She then paused for a moment to raise her eyes and continued speaking in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. “If the information I have received is correct, you have a girlfriend whom you love dearly, right?”
He chuckled at her words, but his gaze was deep as he appraised her. Instead of answering her directly, he responded, “But, my feelings for you are genuine as well.” His thin lips parted, saying the most moving words in his low, husky voice. Yet, they made her heart sink.
The throbbing pain in her heart spread through her body, which numbed her arms and legs. He’s cheating on me and the other woman is also me. It turns out that Mason likes me when I’m wearing a mask. Or, perhaps he has discovered that the person behind the mask is me? Maybe this situation today was arranged by him to expose my second identity?
Seeing that she was reticent and wore an appalled look on her face, he released her waist and whispered in her ear, “It’s my 26th birthday next Sunday. You will show up, right?”
The panicked Janet did not even realize what she had replied. “Yes.”
Upon hearing that, Mason chuckled before he suddenly opened his mouth and bit her tender neck.
She hissed in pain and attempted to push him away in that instant, but he bit harder. He murmured into her ear and repeated those three words, “You little liar… You little liar.”
Before Janet could react, Mason placed the ring and necklace in her hand and left. She was rooted on the spot for a few seconds while she watched blankly as the man left. Little liar? Does this mean that he has known for a long time that I am J’Adore? Could it be that he intentionally said those words to anger me?
She lowered her eyes and looked at the ring as well as the necklace in her hands for a moment before she tightly clutched them.
Meanwhile, Sean, who had been following Mason, recalled the exciting scene earlier and chuckled. “Miss Jackson was full of jealousy earlier.”
It was the first time that he saw Janet losing her composure.
Mason’s gaze deepened as he scoffed, “The little liar would rather be jealous than to tell me the truth on the spot.”
As a matter of fact, it did not matter whether she chose to tell him or not since any explanation she gave when they returned home would be futile in front of the bite mark. Nevertheless, he kind of enjoyed seeing her struggle when she tried to explain. I wonder how she is going to explain the bite mark when we return.
On the other hand, Janet stood rooted to the place while watching the man’s back view. The prickling pain on her neck constantly reminded her that everything that happened was not a dream.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Her phone suddenly rang.
Janet tapped on the phone’s screen display and accepted the call. “Where are you? I will head over to look for you guys.”
“In the washroom.”
She kept her phone away in a swift movement that revealed her indifference.
When she arrived in the washroom, she removed her mask and let out a sigh.
There was a gleam in Lara’s eyes as she stared at Janet and asked, “He couldn’t have recognized you, could he?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 676
Pressing her red lips together, Janet pointed at the injury on her neck. “What do you think?”
Upon hearing that, Lara and Desire’s pupils contracted.
They clicked their tongue upon seeing the bloody wound on her neck.
Lara teased, “Janet, your man is a reincarnation of a wolfdog.”
Leaning against the wash basin, Janet removed the necklace and sighed. “Two billion was all it took to flush me out.” The birthday banquet is going to be held in a week, yet he is so impatient to know my second identity! Tsk!
“Let’s go. It’s no longer fun.” She personally came to Markovia, thinking that the man really liked the necklace. Now that she reflected on it, it was merely a scheme. As expected, Sean’s words are not believable. Now, the man must be waiting for me to return home and explain about the injury on my neck.
It was late at night and two planes departed from Markovia.
A photo and a topic silently crept to the list of hot news for the two large countries.
‘Mason Lowry, the successor of Lowry Family Conglomerate in Sandfort City, travelled to Markovia with a mysterious lady where they affectionately bit each other’s neck.’
‘A photo was accidentally taken in the lounge of the auction. Isn’t this Mason Lowry from the Lowry Family Conglomerate?’
‘Oh, my! This is really Mason from the Lowry Family Conglomerate!’
‘Oh, my God! Who’s that woman wearing a mask?’
‘F*ck! It is said that Mason from the Lowry Family Conglomerate has a reputation for being a cold and distant celibate! So, how is it possible for him to have intimate interactions with a mysterious woman?’
In mere minutes, Twitter was flooded with news about Mason and Janet.
The trending topics for Sandfort City on Twitter were overwhelmed with similar news as well.
‘F*ck! Go and investigate who that mysterious woman is.’
‘She must have an extraordinary background. Otherwise, Mason wouldn’t have his eyes on her.’
‘F*ck, didn’t Mason like the post about him and Janet as a couple? Why is there suddenly news about him having a date with a mysterious woman who appeared out of nowhere?’
‘The truth has proven that he accidentally liked that post.’
‘That’s right. I wonder who was the one who made up rumors about Mason and Janet as a couple. The person should have considered whether Janet is a good match for Mason.’
‘I bet that Mason didn’t even bother to cast a look at Janet. The hot news now debunks the rumor.’
‘I wonder if the mysterious woman would show up at Mason’s 26th birthday banquet!’
‘Who exactly is that mysterious woman? Does anybody know about it?’
‘She wore a mask! Who is able to tell?’
‘That’s right. Who is that? She is so mysterious.’
Not long after that, the news titled ‘The Mysterious Woman With a Mask’ crept to the top of the list of trending topics.
Soon, the identity of the mysterious woman with a mask was revealed by someone.
Someone had posted the name list of participants at the auction and only one name was shown on it—J’Adore.
In an attempt to identify the person bearing the name ‘J’Adore’, everyone looked for all the young ladies within the circle of wealthy families. Yet, they failed to locate any news about her, no matter how hard they tried. Besides, other than the photos of her wearing the mask, they did not have any photo of her real face.
On top of that, they did not manage to search for further information about her, as if her information had been kept confidential. It made people wonder whether it was because she really had a clean background or if she had a powerful force behind her helping to keep all her information confidential.
The only information they managed to get about her was the silver mask.
At the same time, the Lowry Family Conglomerate burst into an uproar.
Those who knew the truth became restless. Young Master Mason is having a relationship with Miss Jackson, right? Why did he still flirt with another lady? Could it be that he is actually a playboy?
After Sean alighted from the plane and he arrived home, he was bombarded with questions from the public relations department, causing him to have a sleepless night.
The public relations department had asked, “Did Young Master Mason really have a date with a mysterious woman in Markovia?”
Sean, who was at the other end of the line, nonchalantly replied, “Yes, what’s wrong with that?”
His reply puzzled the personnel from the department. Why is Sean so calm? Does he think that it is nothing unusual for Young Master Mason to be a playboy?
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 677
“Should we remove the trending news about Young Master Mason?”
Sean picked up a glass and took a sip of water before he calmly answered, “You don’t have to deal with it. Just let it be.” Would this incident even become a trending topic if Young Master Mason did not have any intention to expose it in the first place? This is obviously his modest way of showing off. Also, he wanted to fend off some rich young ladies who intended to approach him during the birthday banquet. After tonight’s news, there should be quite a number of young ladies who have backed down, knowing that they did not have any chance to be with him.
The public relations department was rendered speechless by his answer. Is Young Master Mason not worried that Miss Janet would be sad after seeing this news? We have always thought that he is a devoted and passionate man, but it turns out that he is actually a playboy! Such a jerk!
Janet arrived in Sandfort City and she alighted from the plane the next day. After changing her clothes, she went to the Lowry Residence.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the living room, she saw Mason sitting on the couch with a laptop in front of him. It seemed like he was reading some kind of news.
When the man, who seemed to be waiting for her, saw that she had returned, he closed his laptop and strode toward her. “You stayed out all night.” His voice was deep and husky.
Janet lowered her head in guilt and she hoped that she could immediately leave that place. She bit her lips and turned to head upstairs without replying to him.
However, his voice rang again and the sound of his footsteps seemed to get closer to her. “Aren’t you going to explain to me?”
Explain? Why should I explain to someone who is feigning ignorance? She raised her indifferent eyes; her voice was as calm as still water. “How about you? Didn’t you stay out all night as well? You even went on a date with a mysterious woman in Markovia!”
She saw the hot news—everyone in the world was looking for the mysterious woman. The man did not take any action to remove the news and allowed things to escalate instead. I wonder what he has in mind.
It was a good thing that her identity as J’Adore was a piece of confidential information that was inaccessible in the entire world.
A smiling Mason walked up to her and extended his arms to hold her waist as he slowly exhaled at her neck. “Tsk, which man gave you that?”
Upon hearing his words, Janet was pissed and pushed him away. “It hurts. Stop blowing at it.”
She was so mad when she recalled the flirtatious words that he said to her when she was wearing a mask.
After saying that, she went past him in an attempt to leave.
Suddenly, Mason called after her with a calm voice, “Babe.”
His tone was low when he asked in a straightforward manner, “Are you J’Adore?”
Without turning to look at him, Janet muttered, “Who is J’Adore? I don’t know her.”
With that, the man behind her fell into a long silence.
Just when she thought that she managed to avoid the danger, he suddenly stepped forward and pinned her against the wall.
Now that his chest was pressed against her back, she felt that her back was burning in his temperature, which made her fingers tremble.
Pressing against her back, Mason’s cold eyes slightly narrowed as he tried to speak gently. “I shall ask you another question then. The person whom I met and discussed about cooperation, who whacked the bald man and saved me from him in Markovia, as well as the one who bought Lee at the slave auction—it’s you, right?” The moment he asked that question, the living room fell into a pin-drop silence.
Janet bit her lips; she did not expect him to investigate Lee’s history as well. She squirmed as her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. “Can’t I have a little privacy?”
She was not sure whether Mason had heard her soft voice, but he finally released his grip on her waist.
Thinking that she was finally free, she took a deep breath. Much to her surprise, the man suddenly turned her over to face him before pressing onto her.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 678
The man’s chest, which was pressed against hers, was so hot that it felt like it would burst into flames at any moment.
“Babe.” He suddenly drew closer to the girl and his hot breath incidentally brushed her neck.
His hot breath made Janet’s wound itchy, causing her to subconsciously avoid it.
However, with her hands pinned above her head, she was unable to do so.
All she could do was to turn her head to the side before she uttered, “Don’t bite. Let’s talk it out. I need to attend school tomorrow.”
Mason chuckled as he pressed his thin lips on hers. “You have a unique scent. You can’t hide it from me.”
Upon hearing that, her face flushed pink.
“You hid it from me and made fun of me. Was it that entertaining?” He helplessly chuckled, but his voice was still full of indulgence and affection toward her.
Janet sounded helpless. “You were too hasty.”
In fact, what Janet wanted to say was he was idiotic—even Emily was able to confirm that she was the one wearing the mask. Still, it could have been because he trusted her a lot.
“If I didn’t point it out, when were you planning to be honest with me?” Mason chuckled; he was amused with himself for not noticing that it was Janet all along.
“On your birthday,” Janet answered honestly.
Upon hearing that, he stroked her hair. “Okay.”
With that, he lifted her head with both hands and kissed her hard on her pink lips.
Beep. Beep. Beep. The phone suddenly rang at that moment.
Mason withdrew himself from the girl’s tender lips and discovered that the sound was from his phone.
Janet immediately pushed his chest away from her and she went upstairs with red lips.
His thin lips curled upward and there was a clearly visible smile in his eyes.
“Hello?” The voice of a man still immersed in the passionate moment sounded enticing.
However, the voice on the other end of the line was loud and powerful. “You brat! You actually went on a late-night date with a mysterious woman? How dare you do this to Janet?”
It was Old Madam Lowry.
Although she was not in Sandfort City, she had managed to learn about the news! The news had received a lot of hype. If Janet finds out about it, she would be devastated. He is such a jerk!
Mason helplessly facepalmed. “Grandma, it’s not what you think!”
“How is it then?” She was infuriated. “Isn’t that you on the news?”
He paused; he suddenly had no idea how to explain the situation to her.
“Be honest. Are you that man on the news?” As Old Madam Lowry did not receive any response from the other end of the line, she thought that he felt guilty and lacked courage to answer, so she pressed on. If a nice young lady like Janet were to dump him because of this, I would definitely break the jerk’s leg on behalf of all the ancestors of the Lowry Family. No, no, his birthday is just around the corner. It’s time to announce Janet’s identity to the public. I have to investigate who this vixen who charmed my dear grandson is. She had a lot of things going through her mind at that moment. “I’ll deal with you in a few days’ time when I am back at Sandfort City.”
With that, she angrily hung up on the call.
Mason felt helpless when he heard the beeping sound on the phone. Looks like I will have to wait for her to return before I explain the situation to her.
He let out a sigh and went upstairs.
Upon seeing that he had gone upstairs, the maids emerged from the corners of the area.
They had read the trending topic on Twitter and looked at each other in puzzlement.
“How could Young Master Mason betray Miss Janet?”
“Tsk, how is it possible for the vixen to be compared to Miss Janet?”
“That’s right. I wonder how enchanting that vixen, J’Adore, is for her to be able to bewitch Young Master Mason.”
“Miss Janet not only knows how to draw, but she even participates in car racing and she is one of the top scholars of the college entrance exams. She excels in both academics and physical activities, yet Young Master Mason doesn’t know how to cherish her?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 679
“Hmph, men are all the same. Even the sh*t outside would smell fragrant if it is something that they haven’t tried before.”
“If Miss Jackson likes girls, I will definitely snatch her from Young Master Mason.”
“In your dreams. If Miss Jackson is really bisexual, I will marry her.”
It was obvious that the group of people downstairs did not hear the important conversation that Janet and Mason had.
Everyone in the Lowry Residence currently thought that Mason was actually a playboy and Janet was an innocent girl who had been kept in the dark.
However, the trending topic had completely alarmed the Davis Family in Markovia.
Rebecca was staggered to hear the news, which caused her to have an emotional breakdown once again. At that moment, she felt as if all of the words of sorrow in the world were specifically created to describe her.
She had everything well-arranged; all that was left was for her to wait until the day of the birthday banquet and her suffering would soon come to an end. Nevertheless, her entire plan was disrupted by J’Adore, who had appeared out of nowhere. Janet has left, but here comes J’Adore.
Rebecca was clear about the sort of person that Janet was, but J’Adore was obviously not a pushover either—not even a single person on the Internet was able to dig anything about her. All they had was a few photos of J’Adore wearing a mask and just by looking at her eyes, Rebecca was able to tell how flirty and crafty the person was. Otherwise, she would not have been able to seduce Mason.
However, it was not the time to evaluate the person. Rebecca would need to ask her father to investigate J’Adore’s background; otherwise, her plan could be disrupted when they meet each other during the banquet.
Upon having such thoughts, Rebecca immediately made a phone call.
Janet had a good night’s sleep. She arrived for her tutorial at Woodsbury University the next day and when she was taking her seat, she heard rumors about the successor of Lowry Family Conglomerate—Mason.
“I didn’t expect that the successor of the Lowry Family Conglomerate would actually have a girlfriend and they even went on a late-night date.”
“Tsk, look at this photo—he was biting her neck. It looks so romantic.”
“Didn’t Mason previously like the Twitter post about him and Janet as a couple? It seems like it was merely an accident.”
“I agree. The mysterious woman’s name is J’Adore, so maybe he mistook her for Janet since both their names start with a ‘J’.”
“Hehe, I created a fan group with Mason and J’Adore as a couple overnight. It now has 600,000 fans.”
“Gosh! 600,000 fans? That’s a lot! How about Mason and Janet being a couple?
“Haha, that’s a thing in the past. They only have tens of thousands of fans.”
Janet sat on her seat and napped with her head on the desk while she adjusted her collar. Is neck biting romantic? All I feel is pain! I really have to stop the man from leaving any marks on my neck. Otherwise, the cat will be let out of the bag someday.
When Abby arrived at the entrance of the medical school, her footsteps came to a sudden halt as she looked at Janet, who was resting on the desk at her seat.
She suddenly felt distressed for Janet. I wonder if she has seen the news about Mason.
Mason did not seem like a playboy when Janet introduced him to Abby and Gordon. Moreover, Mason even treated Janet affectionately.
Suddenly, an unpleasant thought crossed Abby’s mind. Janet… J’Adore… Could it be that Mason treats Janet as a substitute for J’Adore?
At that moment, the cliché plots about stand-in lovers from hundreds of soap operas suddenly flashed across her mind again.
Abby approached Janet and patted her back. “Janet, I brought breakfast. Do you want some?”
Janet looked up with disinterest. “No, thanks.”

Abby frowned slightly as she hesitantly asked, “Janet, if your boyfriend cheats on you, will you break up with him?”
Upon hearing that, Janet slowly looked up and stared at Abby with a piercing gaze. “Did Gordan betray you?”
“No!” Abby shook her head, her cheeks flushed. “He treats me really well. I mean, what if it happens?”
When Janet heard Abby’s reply, she gave it some thought. If Mason really cheated on me, I will definitely kill him and the adulteress and bury them together.
Abby noticed the complex expression on Janet’s face, so she could not bring herself to ask further. Instead, she said, “Try this. This is very delicious. Gordon gave it to me.”
Unable to resist Abby’s warm invitation, Janet took a small bite.
Meanwhile, in a room in Markovia, Old Madam Lowry listened to her subordinate’s report under the dim light. She was nearly unable to maintain her amiable expression on her wrinkled face—she could not learn anything about the vixen despite despatching the forces of the Lowry Family. Is this because Mason is protecting her? Or, is it because the forces behind her are so powerful that nobody is able to dig out anything about her?
Her only worry at that moment was Janet. She wondered how Janet would react if and when the latter discovered Mason’s late-night date.
She lowered her eyes and appraised the photo in her phone again. The woman does not have the look to match that of my granddaughter-in-law. Sigh, young men nowadays are surely blind.
On the other hand, the Davis Family also failed to learn anything about J’Adore. “What? You’re unable to get any information at all?” A bewildered Rebecca looked at Esme.
She thought that the Davis Family could be considered as a well-known family in Markovia, so investigating a woman should be a piece of cake for them. However, J’Adore was unexpectedly mysterious; they were actually unable to learn anything about her.
Esme was able to comprehend her daughter’s feelings. She was equally enraged when she saw the trending topic on Twitter yesterday. Her future son-in-law, who was so close at hand, was suddenly snatched by a b*tch, but they did not manage to find anything about her despite making use of the Davis Family’s connection.
“Mom, what should we do? Mason’s 26th birthday is just around the corner. What should we do if he attends the banquet with that b*tch?” Rebecca was panicking until she was close to tears. Is my few months’ hard work going to waste? I cannot accept this. I must get my hands on Mason even if I will become a mistress who would be disdained by many.
“Calm down.” Esme frowned as she comforted Rebecca. “If the woman is exceptionally mysterious, it may be because she doesn’t have a strong background. If that’s the case, do you think that Old Madam Lowry would approve of her and allow her to attend such an important banquet?”
Esme simply did not believe that Old Madam Lowry, a person rich in life’s experiences, would accept a mere woman who did not have a wealthy background.
Marriage was a common method for families to join forces with each other. Therefore, if the mysterious woman was unable to provide any help to Mason or the Lowry Family Conglomerate, it would only be natural for Old Madam Lowry to disagree for her to marry into the Lowry Family, let alone introduce her to everyone during the banquet! Rebecca’s eyes, which were filled with schemes, narrowed. “Are you saying that Old Madam Lowry probably won’t agree for that b*tch, J’Adore, to appear at Mason’s birthday banquet?”
“That’s right.” Only a renowned family like the Davis Family would be able to attract Old Madam Lowry’s attention, Esme thought.
“What should we do if the b*tch, J’Adore, shows up at the banquet anyway?” Rebecca could not afford to risk anything—the banquet would be her last chance to have an intimate physical contact with Mason.
Upon hearing that, a vicious grin appeared on Esme’s evil-looking face as she slowly fished out a bottle of white pills from her bag. She then placed it on Rebecca’s hand and spoke cryptically, “It’s odorless and tasteless. One pill is sufficient to arouse him and the rest will be up to you.”
