Ch. 71..80

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 71

I must really be a lucky guy. At the moment, Aaron felt quite happy. Not only was he surprised that Janet won the competition, but he was also surprised that his students had taken up the top 3 spots.

“Janet, you really are brilliant! I couldn’t even solve the last question. Gordon, you are brilliant too for getting third place. Emily, you did not do bad either. Even though you lost to Janet, you are still brilliant. After all, you can’t win first place every year.”

After the award ceremony, lecturers from two different universities suddenly emerged and blocked Janet’s path.

“Miss Jackson, may I ask which university you are interested in going to? Why don’t you consider enrolling in our university? Not only will we provide you with a full year scholarship, but we will also assign a specialist teacher to you. What do you think?”

Seeing this, the teacher from the other university picked up the pace as well. “Miss Jackson, you can also choose to come to our university. Our university is among the top 5 universities in Sandfort City. We have both the best education and facilities, but we won’t take a single penny from you. What do you think?”

Both of them had offered her a tempting proposition because no one wanted to lose a genius girl like her. The two teachers from Northside University and Bayshore University almost fought with each other as they started to dislike the other party. Is he now planning to snatch her away?

“Miss Jackson, if you come to our school, we will agree to all your demands.” The teacher from Northside University showed no signs of stepping down.

The students around her were envious of their offers. That is such a great offer! I don’t think Janet will reject them. After all, both universities have a famous reputation.

“Janet, why don’t you agree to Northside University’s request?”

“Don’t give up such a wonderful chance!”

“I wish I was the one who could enroll in that university.”

Upon listening to the murmurs from the audience, Janet wasn’t swayed by them at all. “I’m sorry, but both of your schools are not in my consideration.”

Instantly, the audience and the two teachers were rendered speechless. It was really disappointing that she rejected them in the end after they had spent all that effort to convince her. Therefore, the lecturer from Northside University turned toward Gordon and offered him. “Mr. Yaleman, you can come to our school too. We will offer you the same conditions as we offered Miss Jackson. What do you think?” The teacher saw that there was still some star potential in him, and if he chose to come to his school, he would definitely attract lots of fans to the university.

Meanwhile, the teacher from Bayshore University also joined in the act because he had taken a fancy to Gordon’s appearance and star potential too.

After giving it a thought, Gordon answered them, “If the champion doesn’t want to go, there’s no reason for me to go too. I’ll follow Janet.”

At the same time, both teachers felt that their jaws had dropped. How can he reject such a great deal?

“Alright, but please consider us. This is my name card. If you ever change your mind, please feel free to contact me anytime.” The teacher from Northside University took out his business card and gave one each to Janet and Gordon.

On the other side, Emily was clenching her fists while listening to them because Northside University and Bayshore University were her dream universities. Why did Gordon from third place even receive an offer? Why hasn’t anyone given me an offer as a second place?

She clutched her skirt as she tried to ask why they never offered her, but a confused Aaron, who was beside her, asked, “Excuse me, you both have considered the contestants in first place and third place. What about the one in second place?”

The two teachers looked at each other while smiling profoundly. “Janet is the champion of the competition, so we offered her a place in our school. On the other hand, Gordon has a special status, so we will also offer him a place. As for her…” They glanced at Emily and continued, “Miss Jackson, you still need to continue working hard. The first four questions are relatively easy to answer and it’s not impossible for you to do so, but after all, you didn’t answer the last question, so we think that you still have room for improvement.”

At the same time, Emily couldn’t help but clench her fists tighter while the rage inside her grew. The teacher from Northside University continued, “If you want to be enrolled into our school, you still need to work harder on your college entrance exam!”

Aaron coughed awkwardly and followed up on what the two lecturers said. “Alright, our students will consider the university of their choice by themselves!”

After the two teachers nodded their heads, the one from Bayshore University asked again, “Miss Jackson, how did you answer the questions so quickly? Do you use any techniques?”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 72

Janet tilted her head, looking very puzzled before shaking her head. “There aren’t any. What techniques do you need for such an easy question?”

Easy? The moment everyone heard her comments, they were all rendered speechless. As expected, a genius will always be different from us.

Meanwhile, Emily was feeling upset because everybody’s eyes were now on Janet. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been the champion. Who gives her the right to snatch the spot that belongs to me? It’s all because of her. Ever since she has returned, she has been taking away all of my things—one by one.

After the competition, the two of them returned to the Jackson residence.

At the same time, Emily glared at Janet. “Oh my, I didn’t expect you to have a few tricks up your sleeve.”

Janet wanted to return to her room, but Emily blocked her path.

“Good dogs don’t stand in the way. Go away.” Janet’s voice was cold and calm.

“You…” Emily pointed at her. “Who do you think you are? How dare you call me a dog?”

Janet raised her brows. “Oh, I’m sorry. My mistake. You don’t even deserve to be a dog because dogs will immediately leave after being scolded at. You are more like an annoying bug.”

“You…” Emily kept on pointing at Janet’s face.

“Stop pointing at me. Otherwise, you will lose a finger.”

Even though Emily was acting strong and fearless on the exterior, she still decided to withdraw her finger. A crazy person like her will do anything to me.

Not long after, Megan returned from work. The moment Janet saw her coming back, she immediately headed upstairs.

Megan noticed that there was something wrong, she pulled Emily’s hand and asked, “Did you quarrel with Janet?”

Emily stuttered, “It’s… nothing. She told me that being Old Mr. Collins’ apprentice isn’t something to be proud of. Also, she told me that she knows how to draw too, and she is a better artist than me, so she cursed me while pointing her finger at me.”

Upon seeing how guilty she looked, Megan guessed that Janet wouldn’t say something like that. Is Emily lying to me again?

When Emily noticed the suspicion in her mother’s eyes, she quickly changed the topic to prevent from being exposed. “Mommy, you must be tired. I’ll go and make some juice for you.”

“Thank you.” Megan smiled and nodded her head.

She couldn’t muster the strength to deal with them for the moment as she was really tired.

As she watched at Emily’s back, she picked up the remote control and switched on the television.

After doing so, the channel featuring the math competition Janet and Emily participated in today appeared on the screen.

Math competition?

In the competition, she saw that Janet was asleep onstage while Emily was focused on answering the questions.

Then, Megan shook her head in resignation.

Later on, she noticed that Janet had lifted her head and started to answer the questions with concentration toward the middle of the competition.

Emily happened to see that scene appear on the television, so she immediately went up to her. mother. “Mom, why are you watching our math competition?”

However, Megan only regained her senses after Emily called her multiple times, as if she was sucked into the screen.

While watching the television, she asked, “Emily, who is the champion this time?”

Emily anxiously pulled her skirt, stuttering, “It’s Janet!”

“What?” Megan’s eyes widened and she gaped at Emily. “Why is it Janet? What about you? Why isn’t it you?” She couldn’t believe that the talented Emily would lose to Janet.

“I… allowed her to win because we are attending Old Mr. Collins’ discipleship ceremony a few days later, so I don’t want her to feel that she is useless. That’s why I purposely refuse to answer the last question so that she could win.”

When Megan saw how nervous Emily looked, she couldn’t help but shake her head and remain silent.

After a long while, she consoled, “Emily, you are a brilliant girl. It doesn’t matter that you don’t win this time. There’s always next time.”

Although the two of them never said anything more, they knew it in their hearts.

Megan clearly knew that Emily had a competitive personality, so she would never allow Janet to win the competition. Maybe Janet won the competition solely based on her own abilities.

However, to protect Emily’s dignity, Megan would never say it out.

Meanwhile, Janet stood beside the bannister on the second floor while looking at the scene downstairs. It seems like Emily has always been lying to everyone! Looks like I’ll have to teach her a lesson by messing up with her discipleship ceremony.

She suddenly received a message from her phone. When she saw that it was sent from Mason, she instantly opened the screen.

Mason: ‘There’s a good restaurant in Sandfort City that recently opened. I want to bring you there to congratulate you for winning the math competition.’

How did he receive the information at such a fast rate? I didn’t even tell him about it yet!

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 73

Janet raised her brows and ruthlessly rejected him. ‘No.’

After being rejected over the phone, Mason suddenly felt an urge inside him to drag her away himself and wrote. ‘I’m already in front of your house gate.’

He probably meant, If you don’t come out, I’ll head inside and look for you myself.

Instantly, she was rendered speechless.

She bit her fingers and packed her things before heading out the window.

Sure enough, she saw his car downstairs—and it was as eye-catching as ever.

After opening the car door, she went inside and glared at the man. “Can you please not simply show up in front of my house next time?”

He gazed at her with his black eyes before answering her seriously, “Will you want to meet me if I miss you?”

Janet was rendered speechless again.

“L-Let’s see.” Her soft voice rang in Mason’s ears.

After that, he brought her to a restaurant where the waitress enthusiastically led them to a private room.

“I want a Kobe steak, foie gras, black truffles, a king crab and a braised eggplant,” he ordered from the menu before allowing Janet to order for herself.

She glanced at the list of dishes that he ordered and realized that they were all her favourites.

“I’m fine. I don’t want to waste any food.” She waved her hands—a gesture that she didn’t want to order.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Janet took out her phone from her bag, but she then realized that she had accidentally brought her drawings along with her.

Mason had been looking at her the whole time, so he naturally noticed the drawings in her bag.

“You paint too?” He seemed to have discovered the young girl’s talent.

“Yes.” She nodded.

The painting showed a lifelike garden, as if the person was standing there by merely looking at it.

“You drew this?” Even though his eyes were emotionless, his heart was indeed in shock. It’s really beautiful.

“Yes. I simply paint it because I only learned some basic techniques!”

Mason smiled, This young lady is really brilliant and humble.

Then, his lips curled upward and he said calmly, “It’s beautiful, like you.”

Janet raised her eyes and blinked. It’s beautiful, like me?

In that instant, her face immediately flushed.

The evil charm in the man’s blossom-like eyes became even more seductive and profound. My young girl is now shy.

The next day in Star High School, the main topic of the day was undoubtedly Janet’s victory in the math competition.

“She really has a few tricks up her sleeve. I’m starting to admire her a little.”

“Me too. I felt so excited yesterday while watching the competition live on the television!”

“I thought that Emily was going to win the competition yesterday!”

“Emily, do you think the competition was difficult?” Madelaine held Emily’s arm and asked her.

Emily slightly curled the corners of her lips upward. “It’s fine. I didn’t use my full strength.”

“I knew it. If you use your full strength, you will definitely do better than Janet.”

Secretly, Janet stared at her. She only knows how to kiss up to me.

…

Abby held onto Janet’s arm while Gordon followed them from behind.

She rubbed Janet’s arm, saying, “Janet, you are so brilliant. I really envy you!”

At the same time, he also smiled. “Janet is definitely the best.”

However, Janet stared at him. “Stop sucking up to me!”

“Janet, did you see how green Emily’s face was that day? She even went around explaining to everyone that she allowed you to win the competition! Otherwise, she would be the champion,” Abby said angrily. “I can see that she is just talking nonsense.”

Janet raised her brows. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Emily today. If I see her later, I’ll definitely be happy for the whole day.

In the evening after school, Megan came to collect Emily and Janet because she had a meeting with Old Mr. Collins this evening. As a result, Megan wanted to bring Janet along to meet him.

“Janet, you can follow us. It won’t take up much of your time,” Megan said.

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 74

Janet lowered her head and continued to play with her phone without giving any answers.

Then, the butler parked the car in front of Summerville Academy of Fine Arts.

She felt that the Academy of Fine Arts had an amazing atmosphere and scenery, opting to walk around and have a look when Megan and Emily went to meet Old Mr. Collins.

While looking at the college students, she couldn’t help but reminisce about her life in Markovia. No wonder this is an academy of fine arts. The architecture of the school is so unique and aesthetic. It reminds me of the academy of fine arts that I attended in Markovia because both are so similar.

She went upstairs while carrying her little bag before realizing that there was a teacher giving a lesson in the studio.

However, the thing that caught Janet’s attention was the familiar painting being held by the teacher. After a few glances, she realized that it was a painting drawn by her during her earlier days.

He must have used it as a teaching material for the students. Yet, Janet was still unsatisfied about the painting because she had drawn it during her early days. After all, those paintings were also not up to her standards, so she didn’t think they were suitable as teaching material.

“Can you give me that painting?” She pointed at the painting in the teacher’s hand.

After that, the teacher gave her a thorough look. She looks quite young, but why is she so greedy? How dare she request for Master Nato’s painting!

He said to her softly, “Go away. How dare you ask for this? This is Master Nato’s painting.”

She squinted her phoenix-like eyes. “I know.”

The teacher sneered, “I must say, young lady, if you know about it, then why do you even ask? Do you know how much Master Nato’s painting costs?”

“It’s her earlier work and it’s too immature, so it won’t be worth a lot.” Janet quirked up her red lips slightly, revealing a wicked smile. “Why don’t you sell it to me? I’ll pay you.”

The teacher asked, “Are you crazy?”

A few seconds later, he said to her, “Do you know how much money this painting costs? A few millions. Can you afford that? Then, why are you so shameless with your words?”

“Hehe!” Janet giggled.

After that, the teacher ignored her and left.

She was left resigned as she raised her brows. This teacher’s vision is so bad. How can he even consider this painting as a masterpiece? I bet the students here are not that good as well.

Then, she shook her head and started looking around—it had been a long time since she drew something and she felt the urge to draw, so she went into a classroom.

In the class, she realized that there was nobody around and her earlier paintings were still on the drawing board. However, in her eyes, she thought that all those paintings were extremely ugly!

She wasn’t satisfied with her previous work, so she grabbed a student’s brush on top of the desk and added a few more strokes to the painting.

In less than a few minutes, she finally nodded her head with satisfaction.

Right at that moment, a male student suddenly appeared in the corridor.

When he saw Janet’s suspicious looks, he thought that she came to steal the paintings, so he immediately stopped her. “Who are you? What are you doing?”

With a smile, Janet pointed at the paintings on the drawing board. “Look at that. What do you think?”

Instantly, the student gazed at the painting in daze for a few seconds before nodding his head mechanically. “It looks great.”

She smiled again. “I still haven’t lost my skill.”

She picked up her bag and left without saying a word.

“You changed Master Nato’s painting by yourself.” The student wasn’t able to regain his senses in time.

When he came around, he wanted to catch that little girl and question her, but she was already gone.

Therefore, he searched through the building, but he wasn’t able to find her. Instead, he was caught by Old Mr. Collins.

“Little brat, why aren’t you practicing your drawing instead of sneaking around? I’m calling your parents!”

Joshua Larson was looking around the corridor for Janet, but in the end, he was caught by Old Mr. Collins instead.

Quickly, he brought Old Mr. Collins to the class and pointed at the painting that the little girl had changed.

While looking at the painting in front of him, Old Mr. Collins’ eyes suddenly widened. “Little brat, did… you… change this?”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 75

While Old Mr. Collins observed the lifelike painting in front of him, he could see that the overall look of the layout felt easy on the eye, as if it was painted by a master. Maybe the person is a hidden talent or a master within the industry?

“Sir, I’m innocent! How could I change the painting by myself?”

“Then, who did it? Is it one of our students?” Old Mr. Collins questioned Joshua.

Joshua shook his head. “I don’t think so. I’ve never met her before. She looked especially tender and pretty!”

“Tender and pretty?” Old Mr. Collins was startled. Could it be that young girl whom I’ve just met? “Little brat, head and practise your drawing! I need to leave!”

He was so excited that he almost jumped up and down. Now, he wanted to check the security cameras to check whether it was the same person whom he had in mind.

…

When they returned to the Jackson residence, Janet could already hear Megan’s exaggerated laughter.

“This is great! Look at how well-made the invitation card is. Old Mr. Collins certainly looks highly upon you.”

However, Emily remained humble. “Mom, this is all because of you. It’s because of the good education you have provided me; otherwise… I might be a farmer somewhere else.”

Megan smiled awkwardly as she felt that her face ached while listening to her.

At the same time, Janet revealed a mocking smile. Does he really look upon her that highly? I’ve seen her drawings before. It’s so awful that I even consider it as an entry-level drawing.

Suddenly, her phone’s display screen lit up, and she realized that Lee had sent a message to her. I bet that it’s a mission or something.

Lee: ‘Janet, are you busy? Someone has requested your painting.’

‘How much?’ Janet replied to him calmly.

‘20 million!’

Janet: ‘I don’t have the time.’

Lee: ‘Janet, can you not be stubborn? 20 million isn’t a small amount of money.’

Upon seeing how excited he was, she crossed her leg and replied. ‘Who is that insightful person? Doesn’t he know that my paintings usually cost at least 80 million?’

Lee: ‘I don’t know who the other party is because the person is anonymous. He requested a landscape painting from you.’

‘A landscape painting?’

A landscape painting is quite difficult to draw and it takes time!

‘Janet, do you want to accept the order?’ he asked.

‘I still have 20 million.’

She had made her words clear. I’m rejecting the offer.

In the meantime, he was envious of her. 20 million isn’t a small amount of money. With her abilities, she can finish the painting in only 3 to 5 days! Doesn’t she want the money?

Right after Janet put down her phone, Mason called her.

Instantly, she furrowed her brows, but she still answered it anyway.

“Old Madam Lowry is travelling abroad on Sunday. She says that she misses you a little, so can you come over to visit her?”

Janet suddenly remembered that the old madam had mentioned it to her a few days ago. “Alright. I’ll be there.”

She wanted to send her a gift, but she didn’t know what to buy. “By the way, what does Old Madam Lowry like?”

Obviously, Mason could hear that she wanted to give something to the old madam as a gift.

“She misses you, so just come over.” After that, he paused for a while. “If you don’t mind, being her granddaughter-in-law should be the best gift for her.”

Granddaughter-in-law?

Immediately, Janet was rendered speechless.

“What do you plan to give her?” She kicked her tiny feet lazily while asking the man.

“She is always fond of landscape paintings, so I plan to send her one from the modern artist—Nato.” His voice was deep and sexy.

“What?” Janet instantly jumped off her bed like a fish. She thought that she had heard him wrongly, so she asked again, “Did you mention Master Nato?”

Upon listening to her reaction, Mason had an odd feeling that she knew who Master Nato was. “Do you know her?”

“No.” She denied it immediately before following up on her words. “I’ve only heard about her.”

Her emotions were now in a strange place. If I’m not mistaken, Mason was the one who made the order through Lee! Why am I again considering his request?

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 76

“I’ll think of something to give Old Madam Lowry as a gift.”

“Alright.”

In the Lowry Residence at Sandfort City, Sean was reporting the situation to Mason, “Young Master Mason, she rejected your order.”

After listening to him, Mason furrowed his brows. “Why?”

Sean responded with the exact words that were related to him. “She said that her paintings cost at least 80 million, but you only offer her 20 million.”

It was true that Mason didn’t think of that before, so he opened his thin lips again. “Then, give her 200 million.”

200 million? When Mason said those words, Sean was taken aback. Young Master Mason has arrived at a scary point where money is nothing to him anymore.

As soon as Lee received the news, he immediately relayed the message to Janet. ‘Now, they are offering us 200 million.’

In a mere second, Janet replied. ‘Tell him that I accept his order.’

After receiving her reply, Lee couldn’t help but sigh. As expected, you can do anything with money.

However, two seconds later, she sent another text. ‘But, he only needs to pay the 20 million that he promised before.’

Actually, she considered not collecting his money at all, but if she did that, Mason would inevitably be suspicious. After all, her attitude had taken a drastic change.

“Huh?” Lee was surprised. Janet has completely changed her mind in ten minutes?!

Sean was also quick with the news, so he immediately informed Mason exactly what she said.

“Young Master Mason, she has agreed to accept our order. With just 20 million, she will deliver it to us by Sunday.”

“Huh?” Mason squinted his phoenix-like eyes and asked in confusion. “She doesn’t want the 200 million?”

Sean nodded. “She said that she only wants a favor from the Lowry Family.”

“Alright. Tell her that I’ll remember this favor of hers.”

During the entire week, the Jacksons were busy with Emily’s discipleship ceremony.

At the same time, Janet was also busy with the landscape painting. After all, it was a gift for Old Madam Lowry, so she couldn’t afford to mess it up—and just like that, she accidentally stayed up all night, so she woke up especially late the next day.

In the morning, Megan prepared a princess dress for Emily. “Emily, try wearing this and give the other one to Janet. The whole family needs to be dressed impressively for our reputation.”

When Emily looked at her reflection in the mirror, she seemed to have forgotten what Megan said as she had never been that beautiful before.

At 9.30AM, Emily had already dressed up, so she showed her pink dress to Megan.

The maids also praised her after seeing her dress. “Miss Emily, you look so beautiful. Some people may even mistake you for a celebrity!”

“The pink skirt looks really gorgeous. Let me congratulate you first for your apprenticeship, Miss Emily.”

Upon hearing the praises from the housekeepers, Emily was starting to feel pleased about herself.

Then, she pulled Megan’s hands and whined, “Mom, is Janet coming down? I’m the protagonist for today!”

Megan patted her hand, assuring, “Emily, you can enter the car first. I’ll go and call her!”

Emily was becoming impatient and she even wanted to scold Janet a few more times in front of their mother. However, Janet’s voice rang as she said, “I’m coming!”

The next second, everyone turned and looked at the stairs.

For a moment, everyone, including Emily, were shocked because they saw Janet wearing a blue long dress. Not only did she look pure and elegant, but there were even a few traces of cuteness in her innocence that made her look extremely eye-catching.

With just a glance, Megan was also taken aback by what she just saw. Janet really has the shadow of my past self. While looking at her, Megan felt as though she was looking straight at her younger self.

All of the maids quickly praised her. “Miss Janet, you really look good in a blue dress.”

“Miss Janet looks exactly like Madam Jackson during her younger years.”

Emily was getting furious while listening to everyone’s praises of Janet.

I am the protagonist for today, okay? Why is everyone focusing on Janet? What’s wrong with them? However, she tried her best to suppress her anger. As long as I become Old Mr. Collins’ apprentice, she won’t even deserve to lick my feet. Hmph, let’s see what happens later!

In the morning, the Jacksons went to the art gallery first as the discipleship ceremony was only held at night.

Emily loved to be in lively places, so she accompanied Megan to the resting area to drink tea and chat. She wasn’t even here to admire the paintings.

On the other hand, Janet loved coming to art galleries because it felt quiet and relaxing to her, as if she was transported back to her training days in Markovia a few years ago.

While looking at the paintings displayed on the wall, she remained emotionless. However, when she saw a painting under the name ‘Steven Collins’, she stared at it for a minute. If I’m not mistaken, this is the legendary painting by Old Mr. Collins. His skill in art is really high. Even though he hasn’t reached my level yet, he is still a top artist in the world. However, why would a skilled artist like him admire Emily’s awful drawings and even accept her as his apprentice? It’s really hard to understand!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 77

“Honey, I’m still at the art gallery. I’ll go find you after I’m done. Mwah!”

Janet’s moment of silence was suddenly interrupted by a middle-aged lady’s voice. The lady continued to speak on the phone while ignoring the people around her.

“Oh well, I miss you too.” The lady continued to blabber.

In the meantime, Janet looked toward the words written on the wall. ‘Please be quiet!’

Not long after, her phone suddenly rang, so she took out her phone and noticed that Lee sent her a message. Just when she was about to reply to him, the lady had already ended her call and was now walking toward her.

“Can you be quiet? Can’t you see that there are lots of people here?” After that, the lady even rolled her eyes at Janet.

Janet raised her eyes and looked at her with a calm expression as the lady continued to speak, “What are you looking at? Have you not seen a gorgeous lady before?!”

Janet’s lips curled upward, revealing a menacing smile. Gorgeous lady? I’ve actually never seen a gorgeous lady like her before.

An attendant went up to both of them and asked, “What’s the problem?”

“Are you asking me what’s the problem? The people who come to the art gallery are uncivilized. Her phone was ringing, so I asked her to silence it, but she talked back to me!” Madam Hunt ranted.

The attendant felt aggrieved. “Can you two lower your voices? Please don’t disturb others at the art gallery.”

Madam Hunt’s eyes widened, staring at the attendant. “Who are you talking to? She was the one who started it.”

“This…” For a moment, the attendant didn’t know what else to say.

After letting out a snort, Janet squinted her eyes and sneered, “Do you need me to check the security cameras and see who was the one actually speaking through the phone?”

Madam Hunt pointed at Janet’s nose and scolded, “You little b*tch. I’m not afraid of you!”

Janet pushed her hand away and warned her quietly, “Don’t point your finger at me; otherwise, you won’t be able to fix it after I break it.”

“What… did you just say?” Madam Hunt’s eyes widened.

I can’t believe I’m being threatened by a little girl. This little girl is going to get what she deserves.

“You wild little girl. Believe it or not, I will ask someone to throw you out of here.”

The attendant could feel that the atmosphere was worsening, so he quickly went to call the manager.

Then, the manager dressed in a black suit came over. “What are you two arguing about?”

As soon as Madam Hunt saw the manager coming, she feigned that she was the victim and complained, “Look at her. Not only is she being noisy in public, but she even scolded me for correcting her.”

After the manager gave Janet and Madam Hunt a thorough look, he realized that the older woman wore jewelry. She isn’t someone whom I should mess with, so I’ll just start with this little girl. “Alright. Alright. Stop fighting. The person who started it should apologize.”

Janet smiled coldly. “Please apologize!”

“You are crazy. Stop accusing me!” Madam Hunt’s high pitch voice drew the attention of the people around them, so everyone looked in their direction. “Everyone, please be the judge. This little girl not only scolded me, but she also accused me of something that I didn’t do!” She made her tears clear for everyone to see how pitiful she was.

However, everybody couldn’t make an evaluation of the situation because they didn’t know the whole story, so all of them remained silent.

At the same time, Janet didn’t want to waste more time, so she said to Madam Hunt, who was blocking her path, “Move away!” However, Madam Hunt straightened her posture and refused to move. “Good dogs don’t stand in the way!”

“Oh dear, this little girl is yelling at me!” Madam Hunt knew that she won the moment Janet scolded her, so she intentionally started to cry.

Everyone saw that the lady was being bullied, so they quickly expressed their discontent.

“This little girl is so rude!”

“Both of you should just take one step back!”

“The two of them are so noisy. Throw both of them out!”

In the midst of everyone’s conversation, Janet continued playing with her phone, as if she didn’t listen to any of it.

Seeing how indifferent she looked, Madam Hunt became furious as she wanted to say something.

‘Lara, can you please hack into Sandfort City Summerville Art Gallery’s security cameras before sending it to my phone?’

In a few minutes, Lara quickly replied before sending a video.

Janet looked satisfied as she glanced at the video on her phone. Then, she raised her tender arm and showed her phone to the manager.

As soon as the manager saw the video on her phone, he was shocked to the point where he couldn’t speak properly. “W-Why… Do you have the surveillance video of our art gallery?”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 78

Upon hearing her words, Madam Hunt snatched Janet’s phone. The moment she saw herself in the video, she instantly intended to destroy it.

Janet’s red lips parted as her eyes appeared to be cold. “Do you have the nerve to do it?”

Madam Hunt shuddered at her words. Frightened, her face paled as she put the phone back in Janet’s hands. Who’s this girl? Why does she have the capability to get hold of the surveillance video of the art gallery? Did I accidentally offend another bigshot?

Everyone noticed that she remained quiet with her head bowed.

“Looks like it was this old lady who accused the innocent despite being the one in fault.”

“Hey, she just said that it was this girl who scolded her first.”

Upon hearing the condemnation of the crowd, she carried her bag and immediately left with her tail in between her legs.

Seeing that, the crowd dispersed, but two figures at the corner happened to see the scene.

Shocked, Emily looked at Megan. “Mom, did I hear it wrong? Did I just hear the manager saying that Janet has the surveillance video of the art gallery? How is that possible? Could it be that she knows someone from the art gallery? Or maybe she hacked into the security system of the art gallery?”

Megan was dumbfounded as well. She couldn’t even speak fluently. “I-I don’t know either!”

She had a lot of things on her mind, especially when she looked at Janet’s figure—getting first place in the trial exams, the champion in the competition, and also the incident today… Janet, what secrets are you hiding?

“Mom, I’ve always been wondering whether Janet was really raised in the countryside,” Emily asked.

“How would I know about this? I’ll talk to your father once we return home.”

The banquet for discipleship ceremony began at about 4PM at the Capital Hotel.

Emily had changed into a white evening gown, looking as beautiful as a swan.

Seeing that Megan had gone to the washroom, she deliberately walked up to Janet and flaunted her outfit. “Janet, am I pretty?”

Janet raised an eyebrow. “Are you asking about yourself or your painting? I think that both are so-so.”

Emily was stunned for a moment at her words, as if she had heard an unbelievable joke. “Janet, could it be that you are jealous of me? In fact, deep down, you despise me. Anyway, I’ll become Old Mr. Collins’ disciple after tonight. Do you think that you will still be worthy to be my sister?”

Janet looked at Emily as if the latter was an idiot. “What is so great about being that blind man’s disciple? It’s not like I haven’t seen your level before!”

Her contemptuous gaze infuriated Emily.

The two of them didn’t notice the man, who was not far away from them.

Joshua was astounded the moment he spotted Janet. He and Old Mr. Collins had been searching for her for the past few days, but never expected to run into her during the discipleship ceremony.

“Joshua?” When he heard his teacher’s voice, he turned and saw Old Mr. Collins asking him with a stern expression. “What are you looking at?”

Joshua pointed at Janet. “Sir, do you think that she looks like the young lady from a few days ago?”

Old Mr. Collins squinted his eyes before his eyes gleamed with surprise in the next second. “I think it’s her. Why is she here?”

A hint of puzzlement flashed across his eyes. The person next to the young lady seems like Emily. Could it be that both of them know each other?

“Joshua, go and ask that young lady to come to my private lounge,” he quietly instructed.

“Now?”

“Yes!”

Janet was about to leave the place where Emily was, but she was suddenly stopped. “Young lady, it’s me. Do you remember me?”

She raised her brows and glanced at him. Her gaze was so cold that it made him feel as if he was in an ice cellar—it was nothing like a student’s.

“Joshua?” Emily was puzzled. How did he know Janet?

Old Mr. Collins had introduced Joshua to her before, so she was especially friendly to him.

However, Joshua was totally captivated by Janet and did not even glance at Emily. He smiled. “Young lady, Old Mr. Collins had asked for you to meet him. I’m wondering whether you are free.”

At that moment, it was as if Emily’s world spun. Why did Old Mr. Collins call for Janet? I’m supposed to be the star for today!

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 79

Although she was confused, she pulled Joshua’s arm and asked in a fluster, “Joshua, why hasn’t Old Mr. Collins called for me? I’m the star today!”

“Miss Emily, Sir didn’t call for you, so don’t follow us.” Joshua easily shook away Emily’s hand.

Janet clicked her tongue and tucked her hair before leaving together with him.

For an inexplicable reason, Emily had a sense of foreboding as she looked at their disappearing figures.

Just then, Megan returned from the washroom. When she saw Emily standing there in puzzlement, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Emily replied in nervousness, “I have no idea why Old Mr. Collins called for Janet earlier.”

A stunned Megan then dragged Emily to follow them. “Come on, let’s go and check it out.”

However, they were both stopped outside the door to the lounge.

When Janet entered the lounge, she was surprised to see the legendary Old Mr. Collins. Isn’t this the teacher who said that I know nothing?

“It’s you?” She peered at the old man before her. Isn’t this the teacher whom I met that day?

Old Mr. Collins awkwardly coughed before retrieving Master Nato’s painting, which Janet had commented was childish when she was at the Academy of Fine Arts. He then placed the painting in front of her. “You told me a few days ago that Master Nato’s painting when she was younger didn’t meet your expectations, so I would like to have you amend the painting.”

Janet narrowed her phoenix eyes and glanced at him. Later, she stepped forward and picked up a brush before it was placed on a few spots of the painting. “This carp… seems sluggish; it looks sleepy,” she remarked in a low voice and the brush landed on the scales and eyes.

He frowned. “What is your relationship with Emily Jackson?”

Upon hearing that, she curled up her red lips. “Nothing important. Look at this. It is much better now.” She pushed the painting of a carp to him.

Old Mr. Collins and Joshua’s eyes instantly brightened. After her amendments, the painting seemed totally different than before. Without any comparison, the issues of the original painting would have stayed hidden; the current version made a world of difference after Janet amended it.

On top of that, her painting style was extremely similar to that of the one that Emily showed him. Could it be that… “Joshua, ask Emily to come over as well.”

“Huh?” Joshua was baffled.

“Just do it.”

“Alright!” He then left the room.

When he opened the door, he found that Emily was already waiting outside. “Sir has asked you to come in.” His tone was calm.

Emily wore a delighted expression on her face. Old Mr. Collins has finally called for me.

“Mom, wait for me outside!” She beamed at her.

“Okay, quickly enter!” Megan was eager.

A knocking sound on the door was heard.

Upon entering the room, Emily’s expression fell when she saw Janet. Why is this bumpkin still lingering here…

Old Mr. Collins pushed the white paper in front of Emily. “Emily, paint something on the spot now. You can paint anything that you want.”

Feeling flustered, she tentatively replied, “Umm… Old Mr. Collins, haven’t I shown you some of my paintings? You were quite satisfied with them as well, right?”

Upon hearing her reply, his voice was deep. “I know, but I still want you to paint something right now. If you fulfill my requirement, I’ll head out and announce that I’m accepting you as my disciple.”

“Haha, Emily, you aren’t feeling guilty, are you?” Janet scoffed.

Seeing her reaction, she finally understood why Old Mr. Collins would accept Emily as his disciple—it turned out that it was her paintings that Emily had shown him.

“Why would I be guilty? What nonsense are you saying?” Emily pointed at Janet’s face and furiously exclaimed.

“Then, you should paint now.” She cast a glance at the piece of white paper with a raised eyebrow.

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 80

Emily tentatively replied, “Umm… Let me try, Old Mr. Collins.”

She looked at the piece of white paper with a brush in her hand, but she hesitated to do anything. Raising her eyes, she looked at him pitifully. “Sir, I’m not feeling myself today. Can we do this another time?”

Upon hearing that, Old Mr. Collins seemed to be put on the spot. “If that’s the case… Is this painted by you?” As he was speaking, he took out the painting Emily had given him before this.

She nodded guiltily. “Yeah, I painted it.”

Janet instantly recognized the painting as the one that she had lost. Haha, Emily is expectedly a thief.

“If this is painted by you, tell me the colors that you have used. If you are able to answer correctly, I’ll immediately announce that you are my first disciple.”

“I… This is really painted by me…” Emily felt guilty, especially in front of Janet.

“If the truth is like how you’ve said it, tell me all the colors that you have used.”

As Janet’s painting had involved the use of color mixing, it would be difficult for Emily to identify all of the colors, especially if she wasn’t particularly sensitive to colors or wasn’t the one who painted that canvas.

As Emily bit on her lips, her little hand trembled, pointing at the painting on the table. “The leaves are mixed with blue and green to get cyan.”

Old Mr. Collins heard her and nodded.

“The chrysanthemum petals are painted with yellow that are used by mixing red and green.”

The following colors were more difficult to be identified, which forced her to think for a long time before she answered, “The greyish purple flower was painted by mixing magenta and cyan.”

Upon hearing that, Janet couldn’t suppress her laughter.

Emily furrowed her brows as she looked at Janet. “What are you laughing at?”

Old Mr. Collins shook his head when he heard her words as well. “It looks like the discipleship ceremony today is going to be canceled.”

At that instant, Emily stood there while being dumbfounded, as if she was struck by lightning.

Before she could make sense of the situation, he left the room and headed toward the banquet hall.

She instantly came to her senses. Old Mr. Collins is going to cancel the discipleship ceremony? No, I can’t allow this to happen.

Janet watched as Emily went after him. With a raised eyebrow, the corner of her lips curled upward into a beguiling smile. She doesn’t even know about color mixing, but she has the nerve to take my painting as hers?

When Megan, who was outside the door, saw Emily in panic, the former stepped forward and grabbed her hand. “Emily, why are you in a fluster?”

“Mom, Old Mr. Collins said that he is going to cancel the discipleship ceremony.” Emily seemed like she was about to cry.

“What?” Megan’s eyes widened in shock.

“It’s hard to explain much now. Mom, quickly come with me to stop him,” she earnestly begged Megan.

As Megan currently couldn’t afford to be concerned about the reason, she had no choice but to follow them.

When Emily and Megan arrived at the banquet hall, Old Mr. Collins was already onstage and in the midst of making an announcement with the mic in his hands. “My apologies to everyone here. Due to some special reasons, I, Steven Collins, am going to cancel the discipleship ceremony tonight.”

“No, you can’t!” Emily yelled.

Everyone was stunned to hear Old Mr. Collins’ announcement.

She immediately went onstage and snatched the mic in his hand. “Old Mr. Collins, I really painted that painting. You need to believe me!”

“Why don’t you regret your mistakes?” He blamed himself for being so blind that he nearly accepted a liar as his disciple.

“You said that you’re not feeling well today, so I agreed that you don’t have to paint on the spot. But you can’t even mix your colors well, so how is it possible for you to paint that painting with such excellent color mixing?”

Emily frowned and carefully recalled. “I’m sure that the grayish purple flower is mixed with magenta and cyan!”

Upon hearing that, Janet couldn’t suppress her laughter.

Everyone looked at where she was.

She shook her head as her exquisite red lips parted. “You know nothing about color mixing, so you aren’t capable of doing that stunning artwork with beautiful colors.”

Emily was annoyed and pointed at Janet, scolding, “You’re just envious and jealous of me. If you said that I don’t know about color mixing, then what about you?”
