Ch. 691..700

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 691

“Who else would I be talking about?” Old Madam Lowry raised her voice and snapped impatiently at him.

What a shameless hussy, she thought to herself grimly. If she dares to step foot into the banquet, I’ll have her thrown out by security.

However, J’Adore wasn’t a topic that could be breached within a short span of time.

Sean narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as he answered in a serious tone, “J’Adore is the leader of a mysterious organization in Markovia.”

Upon hearing the word ‘leader’, Old Madam Lowry stiffened, realizing that the girl was not someone ordinary. She then regarded Sean and asked, “Is she very capable?”

“Of course,” he replied. After all, J’Adore was the only female leader who could come close to being as powerful as Mason.

Old Madam Lowry took in his incredulous expression and scoffed, “What’s so special about being a leader?”

Is she any better than my Janet?

Janet was a medical practitioner and she was also an artist; she was even the top scholar in the college entrance exam! How could J’Adore even begin to compete with a person as accomplished as her?

The very thought of that photo of Mason and J’Adore being intimate with one another only served to stoke the rage in Old Madam Lowry.

Presently, Sean found it odd as to why she reacted this way after asking him about J’Adore.

Could it be that she doesn’t know who J’Adore really is?

Judging from the way Old Madam Lowry reacted and her abject hostility, it was very likely that she was clueless about J’Adore’s identity.

If Young Master Mason hasn’t told her the truth, then I probably shouldn’t either.

With that in mind, Sean did not offer any further elaboration and decided to leave the explaining to the people behind the ruse instead.

Even though the banquet would only commence at night, there were guests with ulterior motives who had been waiting at the venue since morning—one example being the Davis Family.

It was noon when said family entered the banquet premises.

Rebecca was overwhelmed and bubbling with excitement as she entered the banquet hall. As she took in the opulence of the furnishings surrounding her, she began to imagine what life could be like if she moved into the Lowry Residence.

Magnus, on the other hand, had made arrangements the day before for a piano to be set up on the stage in the banquet hall. He had specifically instructed for the piano to be in the spotlight, and emphasized that it should be set up on the most important and conspicuous part of the stage.

Everything on the stage could be seen at a single glance upon entering the premises.

Magnus gestured in the direction of the piano and turned to address his daughter. “Rebecca, you can go up to the stage for your performance at six in the evening.”

Rebecca flushed, her trembling hands clutching at the purse in her hands as she said nervously, “I know.”

Just then, Esme lifted her finger and pointed at the guest lounge, deliberately showing off the huge diamond on her ring. “Honey, why don’t we go over and take a seat? Come along, Rebecca.”

“Okay.”

With that, the three of them began to move toward the guest lounge.

They had only just seated themselves when a couple of managers or directors recognized Magnus.

Holding their flutes of expensive champagne, the men approached Magnus, whereupon one of them greeted, “Why, President Davis! Are you here for the banquet as well?”

Magnus stood up immediately and took up the champagne flute that was set before him, clinking glasses with the man as he greeted jovially, “Mr. Everett! How nice to see you here!”

The man known as Mr. Everett swept his gaze over Rebecca, smiling as he asked, “If I’m not mistaken, this must be your daughter.”

Magnus was about to answer him when Esme chimed in, “That’s right, Mr. Everett. This is my daughter.”

Rebecca smiled demurely at him and said, “Good day, Mr. Everett. I’m Rebecca.”

Mr. Everett leered at her as she introduced herself.

Meanwhile, more guests were arriving at the lounge and congregating around them. Everyone’s attention was drawn toward the Davis Family.

Among these guests were socialites and upper-class women. When they saw Rebecca, their eyes lit up and they couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “My goodness—what an exquisite dress!”

 

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 692

“The cheongsam has such fine embroidery! It’s such a timeless and alluring piece—how beautiful!”

“Exactly! But it can only be pulled off by someone who looks as good as she does.”

“Comparisons are often painful. Rebecca, how do you maintain that gorgeous figure of yours?”

“Her skin is like a baby’s! I’m so jealous!”

“Rebecca, you’re definitely the most fashionable socialite among us all tonight.”

While Rebecca was ecstatic with the praises, she kept herself from grinning too widely and gave them a polite smile instead. “Thank you for the kind words, everyone, but all of you look beautiful as well,” she said modestly.

“If I’m not mistaken, you will be performing on stage tonight, yes?”

Truth was Esme had gone around telling others about Rebecca’s upcoming performance at the banquet, and it wasn’t as though these guests were unfamiliar with the Davis Family; most of them were well aware that the girl was going to be playing the piano on stage tonight.

Nonetheless, Rebecca nodded. “That’s right, but I hope you won’t make fun of me if the performance is not good enough.”

Everyone burst into polite laughter, gathering around her as they made friendly conversation.

In other words, they were simply making small talk—praises meant nothing in the commercial world.

“Rebecca, you’re far too modest.”

“Exactly. I’m sure your talent speaks for itself, otherwise Young Master Mason wouldn’t have agreed to your performance tonight.”

“That’s right. I look forward to hearing you play!”

“I hear that Mr. Hilbert has hand-picked your cousin Emily to go to Yobirl; I’m sure you play the piano perfectly, too.”

omeone chortled and quipped, “If that’s the case, that means we have our very own Chopin here in Markovia, as well!”

As she listened to the chatter that went on around her, Rebecca couldn’t help but feel gutted at the mention of Emily being hand-picked to go to Yobirl.

After all, she was the only person who knew that Emily was once rejected by Mr. Hilbert as well.

However, the thought of being able to showcase her prowess and charm in front of Mason at the banquet later was more than enough to cheer her up again. Any feeling of resentment that she felt immediately dissipated, replaced by excitement and a slight giddiness.

Presently, Esme was standing among the ladies, gloating happily at the fervent discussion that surrounded her daughter. “You don’t know how much work my darling Rebecca has put in while practicing the piano—it goes without saying that the performance tonight will be spectacular!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was impressed and turned to look at Rebecca with newfound admiration.

Rebecca, on the other hand, bowed her head and flushed at all the compliments that were showered upon her.

Meanwhile, Mason and Janet had arrived at the scene of the banquet and a fleet of luxury cars lined up outside of the Palace Hotel.

The chauffeur got down and came around to their door, opening it before bowing. “Young Master Lowry, if you please!” he murmured with respect.

Hearing that, Mason unfolded himself slowly from the backseat of the car and stepped out onto the pavement. Janet followed suit and fell into step behind him.

Her right hand took hold of his strong arm and the both of them leisurely entered the lobby of the opulent establishment.

Dozens of bodyguards dressed in crisp black suits trailed after them, creating an imposing entourage.

The moment the doors to the banquet hall swung open, those who were waiting inside descended into a frenzy.

Their gazes fell upon the couple who entered and they watched in awe as the man’s every movement seemed to catch the lighting in the hall.

There was an audible intake of breath from the crowd when they realized that the man was Mason.

The socialites and all the other upper-class ladies stared at him with wide eyes.

“My goodness! Doesn’t Mr. Lowry look handsome in his suit?”

However, when they noticed that there was a woman standing next to him, they stiffened.

“But why is there a woman standing next to Mr. Lowry?”

“Is that the girl who was spotted with him the other day? J’Adore?”

“Yes; that’s the mask that J’Adore was seen wearing in the photo!”

However, they were standing too far away to make out the details; all they could see were the vague outlines of the figures.

Mason, on the other hand, held Janet’s hand and leaned toward her. His voice was low as he spoke next to her ear. “Let’s go backstage. Grandma’s waiting for us.”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 693

Janet appeared to be unfazed and simply hummed in agreement.

Upon seeing the both of them enter the lounge, everyone in the hall regained their composure and began to discuss what they just saw.

“What’s going on? Isn’t she that J’Adore girl who is rumored to be Mr. Lowry’s girlfriend? What is she doing here?”

“Did Old Madam Lowry approve of her? What in the world is going on? Could it be that Mason is making his relationship official in front of everyone?”

“But nobody knows anything about J’Adore. She’s far too mysterious for Old Madam Lowry to ever give her stamp of approval!”

“Precisely. It’s not that easy to marry into the Lowry Family.”

“After all, seeing as that girl is of neither good breeding nor nobility, it’s highly unlikely that Old Madam Lowry would ever agree to Mason’s relationship with her. There’s no background information on her whatsoever.”

Standing off to one side, Rebecca remained silent as her eyes stared at the entrance to the lounge. Her fists were clenched, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms as her expression grew sour.

Moments ago, she had felt as though she was walking on air; now, it was as though she was crashing down into an abyss.

How dare Mason bring J’Adore—that sly vixen of a woman—to the banquet?

She wondered if Old Madam Lowry really did agree to any of this.

Even though Rebecca had been prepared beforehand to see J’Adore at the event, the actual sight of that hussy showing up with Mason was far more painful than she had expected.

She panicked once more and turned to look at Esme helplessly. “Mom, what should we do?”

Esme ground her teeth and clenched her fists.

She couldn’t believe that the infuriating J’Adore would dare show up here.

However, she knew that Old Madam Lowry was a very particular woman, and she certainly would not approve of a girl with a questionable background like J’Adore.

As such, Esme pinned her only hope on Old Madam Lowry’s judgment and she quickly offered her daughter solace. “Don’t worry, Rebecca.”

“How can I not worry?” Rebecca demanded, her eyes rimmed red as though she was on the verge of tears.

If that b*tch is here, what use is there for me to play the piano?

Esme kept her voice down to avoid other guests from overhearing their conversation and explained patiently, “Look—even if J’Adore is here, it’s unlikely for Old Madam Lowry to welcome her. After all, Old Madam Lowry would hardly entertain a girl whose background is unknown.”

Any person with taste would choose the multi-talented Rebecca over J’Adore, Esme thought to herself.

“But what if Old Madam Lowry likes her? I wouldn’t stand a chance if that happens!”

Due to Rebecca’s fickle nature and her lack of a backbone, she was easily flustered in the face of uncertainty and other problems.

However, just as Esme was about to speak, a flurry of voices which sounded a lot like arguing traveled from within the lounge.

“Mason, why did you bring her here?”

It was Old Madam Lowry’s voice, which rang out clear and sharp; the aggression in her tone was difficult to miss.

Everyone’s ears pricked up at the sound of her voice and they tried to listen to anything else that might be going on in there.

The women in the hall were exchanging gleeful looks as they remarked to one another, “Old Madam Lowry must be furious at Mason for bringing that wh*re along to this event.”

Someone let out a bark of laughter. “Does this mean that Old Madam Lowry has never seen that sl*t J’Adore?”

“Old Madam Lowry is not one to mess around with!”

“I guess we’ve got front row seats to a comedy! Let’s see how Old Madam Lowry throws her out of here!” Another woman sniggered.

While the other ladies quipped about the misfortune that J’Adore undoubtedly deserved, Esme and Rebecca both looked relieved, their frowns disappearing after hearing Old Madam Lowry’s ultimatum.

Esme smirked in contempt. “See, Rebecca? I told you Old Madam Lowry would never like someone like J’Adore.”

Rebecca pursed her lips and unclenched her fists. “I suppose I was worried for nothing,” she mused, a mocking tone in her voice.

Of course I was worried for nothing! After all, how could someone like J’Adore even stand a chance when compared to me? Who does she think she is? How dare she lay her dirty claws on Mason?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door…

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 694

Holding Janet’s hand, Mason opened the door of the lounge.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Lowry was sipping her tea in the corner of the room. When she heard the door opening, she turned around to look at the source of the sound. Upon seeing the people who had just entered the room, her eyes widened as anger instantly appeared on her aged, kind face. She immediately got up and chastised, “Mason, why did you bring her here?” He actually brought that vixen here; what will happen to Janet? Is this man such a playboy? What a b*stard!

Standing beside Mason, Janet did not reveal any expression. Instead, she just raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly.

Suddenly, Old Madam Lowry grabbed something behind her to throw it at Mason. However, Janet stepped forward and stood in front of him.

Without even giving her a chance to explain, Old Madam Lowry glared at her and warned, “You dare to block him? What a scandalous couple!”

The men of the Lowry Family were known for their loyalty—they would stay faithful to one and only one woman throughout their entire lives. However, looking at the situation now, Mason had broken the rules completely. Hence, Old Madam Lowry was determined to teach him a lesson on the behalf of the ancestors of the Lowry Family.

Standing behind Janet, Mason snorted with laughter. Even though Sean has been with her for an entire day, he didn’t tell her the truth!

“How dare you laugh?” Old Madam Lowry grabbed the pillow behind her back and threw it at Mason.

However, right after she turned around, Janet blocked the attack again. Even though it was not a heavy attack, surely one would feel something from that hit.

At that instant, Mason panicked and quickly opened his mouth to explain to her. Unexpectedly, Old Madam Lowry interrupted him, “You vixen! Let me know which family you come from! Do you know that Mason already has a girlfriend whom I have approved? B*tches like you should stay away from him; otherwise, I will ask security to throw you out. Don’t even dream of being treated well by me!”

Mason was rather speechless after hearing that and the corner of his lips twitched. “Grandma, look carefully at who she is.”

Upon hearing that, Old Madam Lowry glanced angrily at Janet with fire blazing in her eyes before she started appraising her carefully. Well, she looks quite beautiful in the cheongsam; no wonder she’s able to seduce that b*stard grandson of mine. But… her looks are still far from my granddaughter-in-law! With such thoughts in her mind, she glared at Janet.

Suddenly, silence hung in the air for a few seconds. Old Madam Lowry rubbed her eyes as she looked at the woman in front of her. With a hint of uncertainty in her voice, she asked, “Janet, is that you?”

Rather exasperatedly, Janet grunted a ‘yes’ and slowly took off her mask.

In that instant, Old Madam Lowry felt embarrassed but she was also pleasantly surprised. She immediately appraised Janet from head to toe before speaking to her with much love and care, “Janet, are you alright? Did the pillow hurt you just now?”

Ah—age is really getting to me! I’m even confused at this critical moment! Looks like it’s time for a change of spectacles. Old Madam Lowry blamed herself for speaking so harshly to Janet just now. Apart from that, she even secretly cursed Janet over the past few days. It was at this moment that she deeply regretted her actions.

Seeing that Old Madam Lowry was blaming herself, Janet consoled, “I’m fine. After all, we haven’t met for almost two months. It’s normal to not recognize me.” Janet understood how she felt.

“It’s all the rascal’s fault—not only did he not tell me through the phone, he even hung up on me. Apart from that, Sean also didn’t tell me…” Old Madam Lowry muttered to herself as she thought, Men are all up to no good!

Upon hearing that, Mason felt painfully wronged. I hung up the phone? I didn’t explain to her? Point is—did she even give me a chance to explain?

“Take a seat. I’ll ask the makeup artists to put on some makeup for you.” With that, Old Madam Lowry was about to summon the makeup artists outside to enter the room.

 

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 695

Janet stopped her immediately. “Old madam, I need to wear the mask on stage later, so I don’t need to put on any makeup.”

When Old Madam Lowry heard that, she was instantly disappointed.

After all, she was planning to introduce her beautiful granddaughter-in-law to her friends. Unexpectedly, Janet was planning to wear a mask for the party later.

Mason took a few steps forward and explained, “Jan is still studying, so it’s not that convenient to reveal her face.”

“Because of her identity as J’Adore?” Old Madam Lowry suddenly remembered Sean telling her about some kind of organization just now.

Mason stayed silent for a while, as that was not technically the main reason. After all, Janet’s background was not just that. However, Old Madam Lowry might not be able to take in so much information at once, hence he nodded. “Yes.”

“That’s fine too. You can put on some makeup for our benefit.” With that, Old Madam Lowry held Janet’s hands and brought her to the makeup table with a wide grin on her face. “It’s such a shame if you don’t put some makeup on your pretty face.”

Even though Janet already looked stunning barefaced, she would look even more sexy and alluring after putting some makeup on.

Perhaps, with the beautiful scenery at night, I might be able to push them to do something nice!

Unable to convince Madam Lowry otherwise, Janet could only smile at her. “Alright; we’ll do as you say.”

In the end, over a dozen makeup artists froze when they looked at Janet’s face.

It was simply because the woman reflected in the mirror was so beautiful that they worried that their makeup would ruin her perfect face.

Only by drawing her brows, she already looked extraordinarily gorgeous.

Sitting behind them, Old Madam Lowry was also amazed. Wow, what a beautiful face she has!

If Janet claimed to be the second most beautiful woman in Sandfort City, no one would dare to claim to be the first.

Even though it was just simple makeup, her face complemented the cheongsam she was wearing, making her exude the elegance and gracefulness of a traditional beauty.

If she walked out of the room looking this way, she would definitely stun everyone.

The dozens of makeup artists could not help expressing their opinions.

“I’ve been in this line for over a decade, yet your skin is the most flawless and softest I’ve ever seen, Miss Jackson.”

“It’s not just the skin, but your facial features are the best I’ve ever seen.”

“Your figure as well! Even the celebrities on television aren’t as beautiful as you.”

“If not for having the chance to look at you up close, I would have thought that you were a doll.”

“Precisely! Your facial features are even more exquisite than a perfectly carved doll!”

Everyone’s praises darkened the expression of the man who was sitting on the sofa.

He frowned, feeling slightly anxious.

Grandma is going overboard! There are dozens of makeup artists and some of them are even men!

Seeing how Mason’s gaze never left Janet, Old Madam Lowry smiled. “Mason, what do you think of Janet’s makeup?”

Mason narrowed his eyes and pretended to be calm as he looked at Janet’s exquisite face. “It’s okay.”

It’s okay?

Obviously, Janet was not satisfied by his answer.

She turned around and arched her eyebrows. Pouting slightly, she deliberately tried to seduce him with her sexy voice. “Just ‘okay’?”

Mason’s breath quickened as he felt a surge of heat building up in his lower abdomen. He immediately averted his gaze and put down the fashion magazine he had been reading. Without another word, he turned around and walked to the washroom.

Seeing how he left hastily, Janet had a playful smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Lowry merely shook her head. This grandson of mine is so useless!

It’s better to dote on Janet instead!

At this moment, Janet’s phone suddenly rang a few times due to the notifications from Messenger.

She lowered her eyes and opened the app nonchalantly, only to see more than twenty people who sent messages to her. Then, she opened the first chat she saw on the list.

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 696

Lee sent a message. ‘After the Secretary of State of Markovia came to know that your boyfriend is having a birthday party, he rushed here overnight to send him some presents.’

Janet was speechless upon seeing that. Isn’t that a bit too overboard?

Then, she saw Lara’s message. ‘Janet, the President of Markovia also says that he will arrive later, so don’t be surprised.’

Again, Janet was stunned after seeing that. It’s just my boyfriend’s birthday; it’s not even mine!

On top of that, the lot of them have never even seen Mason.

Desire was next on the list. ‘News flash: Mayor of Cradrith, a city in Markovia, might arrive later tonight.’

At that point, Janet was completely speechless.

Luckily I wore a mask today. If everyone knows that I know the President and the mayors of Markovia, Twitter is going to explode tomorrow.

Noticing that Janet seemed troubled, Old Madam Lowry asked her caringly, “What’s wrong, Janet?”

Janet smiled and returned to her normal composure as she shook her head. “Nothing.”

If I tell Old Madam Lowry the truth now, she might very well faint….

This time around, they spent a few hours on Janet’s make up until it was almost time for the party.

Meanwhile, the guests arrived one after another.

And so, a waitress cleverly went backstage to notify Old Madam Lowry.

Standing outside the door, she knocked and announced, “Young Master Mason’s birthday party is about to start soon.”

Upon hearing that, Old Madam Lowry’s demeanour immediately changed from being tired to energetic.

On the other hand, Mason also quickly put the mask on Janet with much gentleness.

After it was in place, he initially reached out to hold her hand. However, Old Madam Lowry, who was standing behind him, was quicker. Smiling at Janet, she said, “Let’s go, Janet.”

Janet’s lips twitched slightly and she agreed.

At this moment, the atmosphere was quite lively at the main hall of the party, with hundreds of people in attendance.

These people were all nobles from the upper-class society or families who were on good terms with the Lowry Family.

Seeing that the key character had not arrived yet, everyone felt slightly awkward.

People who did not know what was going on asked, “Why hasn’t Young Master Mason and Old Madam Lowry appear?”

“Why else? Young Master Mason brought his rumored girlfriend, causing Old Madam Lowry to throw a fit.”

“Indeed! Someone went inside to remind her that the party has started but she still hasn’t come out yet.”

“Do you think it’s possible that they will cancel this party?”

“Oh no! Then we made a trip here for nothing!”

Even Rebecca, who had a performance at six, had not even gone on stage until now.

“Tsk! I wonder what’s happening inside? Could it be that Old Madam Lowry has chased that b*tch away backstage?” Esme looked gleeful at the thought of this.

“It’s possible. After she said those words, there was no reaction from the room.” Rebecca had the same mocking expression as Esme.

“Rebecca, it seems like you don’t even have to use the drug today.”

Upon hearing that, Rebecca lowered her head and smiled shyly.

At this moment, the door of the lounge backstage suddenly opened. Then, a flurry of footsteps slowly reverberated throughout the entire hall.

Everyone looked expectantly at the source of the sound.

However, their expressions changed immediately when they saw an elderly lady holding the hands of a young woman, who had a mask on her face.

They were so agitated that they stuttered, not even able to speak properly.

“W-What’s going on? Old Madam Lowry… is holding hands with the b*tch, J’Adore?”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 697

“Not long ago, Old Madam Lowry had a huge fight with J’Adore. Isn’t that the reason why she didn’t want to come out of the room?”

“Impossible! How can Old Madam Lowry’s attitude toward her change just like that?”

“Did J’Adore use any tricks to make Old Madam Lowry approve of her?”

“S-She’s crazy!”

Everyone’s gaze fell on the three people at the center of the party hall without even blinking.

The trio from the Davis Family immediately blanched.

The person with the greatest reaction was—without a doubt—Rebecca, who was quite smug moments ago.

With clenched fists, her eyes widened so much that they were about to pop out of her eye sockets.

How can this be happening?

Shouldn’t that b*tch J’Adore be chased out?

Why did Old Madam Lowry’s attitude change so much?

The next person who was utterly shocked was Esme.

When she saw Old Madam Lowry holding hands with J’Adore, she felt as though the world had come to an end.

This b*tch gained approval from the old lady?

What on earth is her background in order to make Old Madam Lowry approve of her?

“Welcome to my 26th birthday party.” A low, attractive voice rang out.

As soon as everyone heard that, they walked forward and formed a circle around him.

When they saw the cheongsam that J’Adore had been wearing, they could not help but heave a gentle sigh.

“My goodness—J’Adore’s dress is too beautiful! It matches her fair skin tone perfectly.”

“Even though I don’t really like her, she really looks good today.”

“Indeed; even the design of her cheongsam is a lot more intricate than Rebecca’s.”

“Speaking of which, do you think that both of them share the same designer?”

“Yeah! The details of their dresses look slightly similar.”

When Rebecca saw the situation just now, her face had already turned thunderous. Now that she heard comments about her dress being less beautiful than others, her expression alternated between dark and pale.

The voice on stage continued as Mason then announced, “I would like to introduce an important person to everyone.”

With that, he held Janet’s hand as he introduced, “This is my girlfriend, J’Adore.”

Janet merely stood there lazily without speaking a word. However, her position was clear, as Mason’s introduction was straightforward and simple.

Beside them, Old Madam Lowry grabbed the microphone and spoke slowly. “I’m afraid the term ‘girlfriend’ isn’t appropriate.”

Even though her voice was not loud, everyone around her could hear clearly.

Hearing that, people immediately discussed this among themselves.

“What does Old Madam Lowry mean?”

Does she disapprove of J’Adore’s identity?

“Ha! J’Adore is such an embarrassment!”

“Indeed! Even Old Madam Lowry doesn’t like her. Forget about being his girlfriend—I’m afraid she’s not even his friend.”

“But why did Old Madam Lowry hold her hand when they appeared just now?”

“No idea; probably it’s just to take care of J’Adore’s reputation.”

“That’s right. She’s doing this precisely for J’Adore’s reputation. Who knows she still refuses to leave by sticking around? How embarrassing!”

“She’s just a useless b*tch who is not worthy of Young Master Mason.”

The discussions became harsher as more people joined in.

Meanwhile, Rebecca raised her head haughtily, her eyes mocking.

Even though I’m not on the stage right now, I’m still the young lady of the Davis Family. Surely I am better than the b*tch who came out of nowhere.

If Old Madam Lowry doesn’t like me, she definitely won’t like J’Adore as well.

Suddenly, Old Madam Lowry—who was on the stage—cleared her throat and continued in a cold and low tone, “I’m saying that the term ‘girlfriend’ is not appropriate because another term is better—‘the future Lady of the Lowry Family’.”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 698

She slowly looked at the people who were mocking Janet before this. Even though there was a smile on her face, she did not look as kind as before. Instead, her face looked rather dark—a rare expression for her.

No one seemed to expect that Old Madam Lowry would say something like that, so the socialites and rich ladies who looked rather gleeful just now were now looking at Old Madam Lowry with dumbfounded expressions.

At this moment, Mason spoke. “It depends entirely on her when she would like to become the Lady of the Lowry Family.”

When the socialites and the rich ladies heard this, their faces fell immediately with a look of incredulous in their eyes.

Does Young Master Mason mean as long as J’Adore agrees, they will hold a wedding and get married immediately?

He’s the most powerful man in charge of the economy of Asia, yet he still has to take cues from a young woman on when to get married?

Everyone was stunned upon hearing the words from Old Lady Lowry and Mason.

At this moment, seeing that the party was about to start, Magnus asked tentatively, “Young Master Mason, since the party is about to begin, shall I ask my daughter to perform a short piece on the piano to hype the atmosphere up?”

Since Mason knew about this beforehand, he nodded and walked down the stage as he held Janet’s hand.

“Rebecca, it’s your turn to go on stage now, quick!”

Magnus quickly pushed Rebecca out of the crowd and asked her to take advantage of this opportunity.

Initially, Rebecca was still deep in shock and hatred; it was only until Magnus pushed her that she regained her senses.

Since it was an indisputable fact that Old Madam Lowry had already approved of Janet, Rebecca could only grab this performance opportunity so that Mason would notice her.

Hence, she forced a smile as she slowly walked onto the stage.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was completely on her.

With a smile on her face, Rebecca pulled out the piano bench and sat on it.

Then, she glanced at the audience casually, only to realize that Mason was looking at her nonchalantly.

His gaze had made her excited and nervous.

Mason is looking at me in front of J’Adore?

Does that mean that he’s interested in me?

Rebecca’s heart thumped furiously as she imagined how good the experience would be when they slept together after the party ended.

Seems like I don’t need ecstasy anymore.

Thinking about that, Rebecca straightened her back as the smile on her face widened.

With a smile, she announced, “Next up, I will play Bellini’s Réminiscences de Norma.”

With that, encouraging applause rang from the crowd, as though the birthday party was her very own concert.

The audience then commented, “At such a young age, Rebecca already knows how to play Réminiscences de Norma. She’s such a genius!”

“It’s certainly impressive. I wonder how the performance will be.”

“Her cousin, Emily, is the disciple of Hilbert’s master. I’m sure Rebecca is quite good as well.”

“Is that true? So is it also true that Emily went to Yobril to further her studies?”

“Yes. Emily also has a sister, Janet, who’s studying medicine at Woodsbury University.”

“I see. Seems like the Jackson Family can be proud of them.”

Among the audience, Esme waited for Rebecca’s outstanding performance.

As the first note rang out under Rebecca’s fingers, a beautiful melody soon reverberated in the huge party hall.

Magnus had prepared the best speakers and the best piano, so the performance would naturally be pretty good.

The hall was abnormally silent as everyone paid attention to Rebecca’s performance.

When it was over, thunderous applause boomed from the crowd.

 

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 699

After receiving the encouraging response from everyone, Rebecca heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Mason and grabbed the microphone near her. With her head lowered, she said shyly, “This is my birthday present for Young Master Mason—I hope you like it.”

With that, everyone looked at Mason.

However, the man who exuded the aura of a mighty king did not seem to hear her, because his profound gaze had been directed at the woman next to him the whole time.

Rebecca was furious to see that. She clenched her fists tightly as her face turned pale again.

What is he implying?

Wasn’t he looking at me just now? In an instant, the b*tch—J’Adore—seduced him away again!

Feeling that she had been deeply humiliated and without the approval from Mason, she felt as though months of practicing the piano had gone to waste.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became; she even had an urge to charge at Janet and kill her.

At this moment, the jealousy and fury within Rebecca was not something that could be described with mere words.

Seeing that she stood frozen on stage without much control of her facial expressions, Esme quickly dragged her off stage.

“Rebecca, do take note of your expression.”

Even though the Lowry Family approves of J’Adore, it means nothing if they are not married!

As Rebecca continued to clench her fists tightly, the words of comfort did not manage to reach her ears.

At 8.30 at night, the gift-giving session commenced.

According to the registered list, the host announced, “First, let’s welcome Robbie Mccoy from the Mccoy Enterprise!”

With that, Robbie snapped his fingers and a waiter pushed a trolley over, which was covered with a black cloth.

Then, he walked forward to gently lift the cloth, revealing a rock-like red gem that seemed to weigh a few kilograms.

Robbie bowed respectfully as he said, “This is a small gift from the Mccoy Family. Hope you like it, Young Master Mason.”

“Thanks, President Mccoy,” Mason replied in a lukewarm tone that did not show any surprise.

As everyone else looked at the red gem, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, “Isn’t that the Taaffe stone?”

“What? Taaffe stone?”

The Taaffe stone was the latest discovered type of diamond that was named after Baron Taaffe. Because of its small amount of production, it was a rare stone that was several times more expensive than diamonds—just a mere carat cost thousands.

The stone that Robbie had just gifted weighed around 5 kilograms, which was equivalent to 5000 grams.

After converting to their local currency, its worth was around 75 million.

Hence, everyone asked in shock, “President Mccoy, is this the real Taaffe stone?”

Robbie nodded with a smile. “It is.”

In an instant, an audible gasp came from the crowd.

The Mccoy Enterprise is actually willing to spend tens of millions for a present!

This clearly shows how important Mason is in Sandfort City!

The host was also blown away by this gift but he adhered to his professionalism and continued down the name list. “Next up is Eugene Garrett.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was slightly shocked.

Eugene Garrett?

The famous inspector, Eugene Garrett?

Even he came to attend Young Master Mason’s birthday party?

As soon as the host announced his name, Eugene walked out from a corner and humbly presented his gift.

Like Robbie, he bowed respectfully and spoke in a low and steady voice. “I’ve long heard that Young Master Mason likes chess. Hence, I’m giving you a chess set. I hope that you like it.”

Mason arched his eyebrows and he nodded to express his gratitude. “Thanks, Inspector Eugene.”

Everyone else thought this present was too ordinary, so they exchanged awkward looks among themselves

Chess set?

Young Master Mason is so rich that he can buy any chess set in the world that he likes!

Amidst everyone’s questions, Eugene slowly opened the cloth covering his present.

In an instant, the entire hall went silent, because this was not a normal chess set—it was the only chess set in the world that was made of the highest quality of jade.

Apart from that, the chess board was made of mahogany with silver embedded in it. It took nearly three years to make the 361 chess pieces and the chess board.

There was a rumor that this chess set had been sold in an auction two decades ago. Now that it appeared at Mason’s birthday party, it was quite difficult for everyone to digest this piece of news.

After that, the rest of the presents promptly shocked everyone there.

The first 20 presents themselves already cost billions.

There were around 200 people attending this party. Among the 200, more than one hundred of them gave presents to Mason. It was estimated that the gifts collected from this party could be more than tens of billions, reaching even hundreds of billions.

The scale was so huge that it was unprecedented.

It was likely that there was not a second person in this world who would receive such dear gifts.

At this moment, an usher suddenly came forward and spoke to Mason. “Young Master Mason, the Moss Family and the Lee Family also arrived!”

His words stunned everyone around him, who let out an audible exclaim.

Henry and Lee also came?

The Lowry Family was the most powerful among the three main families in Sandfort City, followed by the Moss Family and the Sanders Family.

It was common knowledge that the Lowry Family had always been on good terms with the Moss Family. Hence, it was not something surprising. However, Young Master Sanders from the Sanders Family seldom appeared in public and he would rarely attend such events. However, on this day, he showed up at Mason’s 26th birthday party.

It was a historical moment for the three families to appear together at the same time.

Mason arched his eyebrows. If my guess is correct, Lee isn’t here for me.

After shooting a glance at Janet, who was wearing a mask, he replied to the usher in a low voice, “Welcome them in.”

Just as his low and attractive voice sounded, he saw the usher point at the entrance. “Y-Young Master Moss… and Young Master Sanders have arrived.”

Upon hearing that, everyone turned around to look at the entrance of the party. Immediately, they saw two tall figures in tailor-made suits walking toward them.

Henry and Lee were wearing black and white respectively.

Sure enough, their good looks were not just rumors—apart from Mason, who exuded the aura of a mighty king that dominated everyone, it was without a doubt that Henry and Lee came in second place.

Henry looked rather playful, as if he was a wealthy playboy. On the other hand, Lee looked like an elegant gentleman.

Mason immediately got up to welcome them personally. After all, Lee was considered half of Janet’s maternal family, so he could not afford to slack around.

Every action of his showed much respect. “Young Master Sanders, it’s been a while.”

After shooting a glance at the VIP area, Lee saw the woman who wore the mask of J’Adore. He smiled and replied, “It’s my honor to be able to attend your birthday party, Young Master Mason.”

Mason raised his head and welcomed Lee to his seat.

Meanwhile, Henry froze when he saw their leaving figures.

Immediately, question marks popped up in his mind.

I’m a full-sized person standing right here—why didn’t Young Master Mason notice me?

Tsk! His eyes are getting worse as he becomes a year older.

Rubbing his nose, Henry followed them and sat in the VIP area as well.

Lee smiled and took the opportunity to speak first. “I’ve prepared a small gift for you. I hope you’ll like it.”

With that, Lee asked his men to hand something over.

Since it was quite small, the cloth covering it was also small.

When he unveiled the present, everyone’s eyes immediately widened.

What the hell?

Car keys?

When they saw the logo of the keys, they immediately exclaimed, “Gosh! Isn’t this Audi R8 Phantom Black?”
