Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 771
At the other end of the line, Emily’s heart skipped a beat. “What happened?” Janet just can’t keep a low profile, can she? First, she tried to hook up with the successor of Lowry Family Conglomerate and the next moment, she is involved in a plagiarism case. She really is a busy bee!
Hazel pursed her lips. “She scored a perfect score in the test held by the university this time!” Before the person on the other end of the line could reply, she continued, “However, other lecturers told me that they were around when the medical school’s lecturer was marking the papers, so they saw with their own eyes that Janet’s essay was exactly the same as Lady Rose’s work. It can be confirmed that she has indeed committed plagiarism.”
“Isn’t plagiarism a serious offence in Woodsbury University? Are you sure about this?”
Hazel hummed in agreement. “I am going to report this to the principal.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe could no longer tolerate Janet’s actions. It made her blood boil whenever she thought of the fact that her father had been treated by this shameless fraud.
Emily, who could sense the anger in Hazel’s heart, curved up her lips involuntarily. Well done, Janet, for being able to make her despise you so much. You surely are impressive! I think Hazel hates you even more than I do now.
Emily clutched her phone tightly and seized the opportunity. “It’s better to just post her essay on the notice board in the Woodsbury University.” What’s the point in reporting it to the principal? The principal would forgive her since she is the top scholar. If Hazel is going to do it, it would be better to take it further—she has to let all the students in the university know that Janet has committed plagiarism so that the latter won’t be able to continue studying in Woodsbury University.
Hazel frowned at her words. “Won’t that be too harsh?”
Emily was flustered when she noticed that Hazel was planning to go soft on Janet, so she muttered, “Hazel, don’t forget how she cheated your brother and father. You cannot be soft-hearted in this situation!”
At the mention of her brother and father, Hazel immediately narrowed her eyes. “I understand. I will post her test paper on the notice board when the papers are distributed.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWhen Emily finally managed to talk Hazel into doing it and heard what she had been hoping to hear, the corner of her lips curved upward and a grin spread across her face. “Sure. Update me then.”
Hazel hummed in agreement before hanging up. She gripped her phone tightly, as if she had made up her mind.
In a five-star hotel in Markovia, the man, who was sitting on the leather couch, opened a confidential file.
The name ‘Rose’ was written on the bottom right corner of the file.
He was wearing a stern expression when he opened it carefully.
Rose was an incredibly mysterious person even in Markovia, and the documents in the file were the results of their investigation for the entire day; whether or not they were able to take down that cunning woman in one fell swoop would depend entirely on the content inside.
“Boss, do you need my help?” The man was so tense that even his subordinate could not bear to watch.
“No.” The man calmly rejected the offer.
“Alright, then.” The subordinate then added, “Call me if you need anything.”
The man inhaled deeply and slowly read the file.
Upon seeing the contents in the file, his pupils contracted slightly.
Photo: Not available.
Age: Not available.
Address: Not available.
Current Address: Sandfort City.
The only useful information was the one that the man had long known about.
In other words, it was an utter waste of effort to come to Markovia!
Looking at the information in the file, a cold smile inexplicably appeared at the corner of his lips, which made the subordinate frown in puzzlement. “Boss, what’s the matter?”
The man placed the file on the table and smiled. “We’ve got nothing.”
“Nothing?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 772
The subordinate took the file and flipped it open. He was stunned when he saw the contents inside.
We have dug deep into her background yet came up with nothing, which is just too strange. How can a mere author be this formidable? This is totally unbelievable! This so-called author is not only an amazing hacker, she has great driving skills, as well as a strong organizational ability. More importantly, she is a woman!
Mason couldn’t begin to imagine who she was exactly.
Other than Janet, he had never heard of anyone so amazing.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryBefore this, he had suspected that Rose was Janet, but this suspicion completely disappeared after he saw Rose’s face last time.
“Boss, what should we do now?”
“Take the bullets back to the Lowry Residence as soon as possible.” Mason took his phone and dialed a number with his thin lips pursed. His only hope now was that Janet would be able to interpret the serial number on it and discern which organization it belonged to.
Meanwhile at Woodsbury University, Sean came to pick Janet up after her class had ended.
After Janet got into the car, something crossed her mind when she was sitting with her legs crossed. “Where’s the bullet?” she drawled.
Sean glanced in the rearview mirror and replied curtly, “In the villa.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Alright.” Looking at the view outside the window, Janet thought to herself, I wonder who messed with him.
When they returned to the villa, sure enough, there were many people there.
Janet sat on the sofa with her legs crossed as she took the bullet from Sean.
“Miss Jackson, remember to wear the gloves,” Sean reminded from the side.
She was slightly stunned by his words and curved her lips. “You are quite attentive.”
There were three bullets in total, all of which were neither light nor heavy—one of them was a pistol bullet while the other two were rifle bullets.
They felt strange when they were held in her hands.
It was obvious that the bullets were intricately designed, which suggested that they were custom made by an organization.
However, instead of immediately pointing it out, she drew closer to the bullets to scrutinize the serial number.
Seeing that she was so focused, Sean couldn’t help but say, “This organization is not easy to deal with. Young Master Mason went to Markovia for a day, yet he found out nothing about them. Miss Jackson, we can only rely on you now.”
Janet kept staring at the serial number on the bullets without raising her head, but her thin lips were curled up slightly.
This organization should be formidable for being able to annoy him so much. Her eyes gradually deepened as she stared at the serial number on the bullets. She raised her eyes and glanced at Sean, an unfathomable emotion flashing across her eyes. “These bullets…”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 773
Upon seeing her expression, Sean thought that she might have discovered something so he asked, “Miss Jackson, did you find anything?”
Janet’s dark pupils contracted slightly and the air around her became colder. “Let me ask you something—are you sure that these bullets were retrieved from your injured soldiers?”
Although Sean did not expect her to ask him this question, he nodded and answered honestly, “Yes. What’s wrong?” Those bullets were indeed removed from the soldiers’ bodies and sent to the villa under his supervision. “What’s the matter with—” Just as he was about to ask further about the bullets, he was interrupted before he managed to finish his sentence.
“So, who are the people you guys fought with?” The lady’s cold, unfeeling voice was so forceful that nobody could resist her.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySean’s body trembled, yet he had much to complain about Rose. “Miss Jackson, I am not sure if you have heard of an author called Rose. She is an extremely cunning woman. Young Master Mason said if he is able to find her, he will destroy her base and skin her alive before throwing her into the ocean to feed the fishes.”
Although Janet had some mental preparation the moment she saw the bullets, her heart still involuntarily skipped a beat when she heard the name ‘Rose’ come out from Sean’s mouth.
Ha! I am very much familiar with the name ‘Rose’, so it would be impossible for me to have never heard of it. No wonder we happened to go on missions last night—it turns out that we were fighting with each other. The man who threatened to erase my very existence at Leamore Lane and declared that I will die in a sea of fire is actually the person I love the most. He even used dozens of fighter jets and more than 20 elite fighters against me!
His remark to me was that I am an extremely cunning woman. Well, I am very curious as to how I offended him. If it were not because of my good driving skills, the bomb last night would have blown me up. It was him who messed with me in the first place by robbing my stocks multiple times and even injured Desire, and now he actually intends to destroy my lair and skin me alive? He is simply wonderful!
Sean was a little stunned when he saw her expression becoming darker. He slowly asked in a steady voice, “Miss Jackson, do you recognize it?”
She’s Markovian. If even she can’t recognize it, I think nobody can.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet shook her head and pushed the bullets to the side, which made his heart sink. What does that mean? Does she not recognize it?
Before he managed to ask the question, however, Janet muttered, “Tell your boss that I don’t recognize it and ask him not to waste his time searching for her. He won’t be able to find her.”
“This…” Sean cast her a deep look, momentarily at a loss for words.
She took a deep breath and rose from the couch, leaving behind a cold message. “When he comes back, tell him that I will be staying out these few days.”
With that, she headed outside, empty-handed.
I think it’s better that we don’t meet each other for this couple of days—I’m afraid that I will have the impulse to strangle him to death if I see him.
Her attitude made Sean’s heart leapt into his mouth. Wasn’t everything just fine earlier? Why did her attitude change after looking at the bullets and having a chat about Rose?
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 774
In the evening, Mason, who had been waiting for Sean’s news, was staring at his laptop on the table in one of the five-star hotels in Markovia. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. The man picked up the phone and tapped open Messenger, and the message he received made his expression fall.
Sean texted, ‘Miss Jackson came over and looked at it for the whole afternoon, but she didn’t manage to discern anything. It seems like this woman called Rose has a powerful background, so I think it’s better to not investigate further about her.’
The man’s expression became darker upon reading the last sentence. What does he mean by not investigating further? In other words, is he advising me to let her go? How about the injured members of Black Rain? As the most powerful man in Asia as well as the leader of Black Rain, I have never suffered this kind of indignation.
Mason closed his eyes, struggling to calm himself down. Whether this person is a god or a ghost, it is impossible that she just disappears into thin air, so I will find her no matter where she is, he thought to himself before he took his phone and dialed a number. “Gather some men and take control of the Royal Garden in secret; I will find a perfect timing and we will make our move.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe voice of the person on the other end of the line was deep. “Roger.”
She had been using that place as a hideout for more than once, so it is quite logical to assume that she is still there. If I launch an ambush there, the woman certainly can’t escape. However, my identity as the leader of Black Rain will be known by many after this, but it will be worth it if I am able to take her down. Clutching his phone tightly, a hint of a cold, vicious smile flashed across Mason’s eyes.
Meanwhile at the Royal Garden in Sandfort City, Janet entered the house while taking off her jacket.
“How is your injury? Does it still hurt?”
Desire shook her head. “I feel much better.” As she was shot by a rifle, her injury was way deeper than a pistol wound but after applying some specially-developed medicine, her condition had improved tremendously.
Janet nodded and walked to the living room, her medical kit in hand.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Janet, this place may not be safe anymore. You’d better not come again after this,” Desire said with a frown on her face. Although they had been cautious with their actions, she was certain that the Black Rain would pay extra attention here since they had come over to search for them last night.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Janet quirked up her lips. If that jerk dares to come, I will be the one to take him down first!
“Black Rain actually came to our door to search for us; they even used fighter jets against us.” Desire was pissed. Black Rain should really consider whose territory this Sandfort City belongs to. As soon as Janet’s man gives an order, they will certainly be wiped out. Let’s see if they still have the guts to be so arrogant when that time comes!
Janet blew on Desire’s injury and curled up her lips, a cold smile playing at the corner of her lips. “He can blow this place up if he wants to and nobody will stop him.”
Desire seemed worked up as she asked, “Janet, is Black Rain even more powerful than the Lowry Family? Even Mason can’t stop him?” If Mason is really not as powerful as Black Rain, it would be Janet’s loss to date the former, since she is, after all, the most powerful person in Markovia, Desire thought to herself.
At the mention of Mason, Janet’s initially curved lips suddenly flattened as she coldly muttered, “Don’t bring him up.”
Stunned, Desire frowned. “What’s wrong?” Her tone suggests that perhaps the two of them had a disagreement.
Janet confided the truth to her without hiding anything. “The man who declared that he loves me is the same person who is planning to take my life, and your injury was his doing as well. He couldn’t find me in Sandfort City, so he went to Markovia to look for me. He even said that he will skin me alive and throw me into the ocean to feed the fishes. More importantly, he said that I am an extremely cunning woman. Yet, the most crucial thing is that he declared to destroy my base.” With that announcement, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 775
This was the first time in her life that she spoke so much in one go; she told Desire everything that she had heard from Sean and Mason.
Desire’s pupils slowly widened at Janet’s words.
She was stunned for a moment before mumbling in disbelief, “This… how is this possible?”
The leader of the Black Rain is Mason? Is Mason actually the leader of Black Rain?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHer mind went blank upon hearing the news that gave her a huge blow.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Janet’s lips. “Why is it not possible?”
Who else had the courage to behave so arrogantly in Sandfort City other than Mason from the Lowry Family? Additionally, other than the Lowry Family, nobody had the power to use fighter jets and bombs in Sandfort City.
Desire was so shocked that she failed to hold the gauze properly and dropped it on the floor. How can the two lovebirds turn into a couple that is trying to kill each other in the blink of an eye?
Desire looked at Janet, astounded and bewildered.
Janet’s pink lips curved up and she stopped what she was doing. “Done. Remember, don’t get your injury wet.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Janet,” Desire called her.
Janet hummed and looked at her.
Desire took a while to return to her senses and finally accepted the fact. Blinking, she asked curiously, “Are you going to explain it to him?”
“Explain?” Janet sneered, “Isn’t that too easy for him?” I tell him my identity, make up with him and just let this slide? I’m afraid Janet Jackson is not such a generous person. Although he has three men who got injured in the battle last night, which accounted for the larger proportion of the total casualties from both sides, the battle itself was instigated by him. In other words, he deserved it! Also, even if the identity ‘Rose’ is not all I have, it is still part of me, so how could he use the word ‘cunning’ to describe me? He even announced his intentions to skin me alive and throw me into the ocean to feed the fishes! All of these were words that came from his mouth!
The more she thought about it, the more enraged she became.
“What are you going to do, then?” Desire thought about it carefully and felt that the injury she had suffered would be for nothing if they were to forgive Mason easily.
Janet had a lazy and beguiling smile playing on her lips. “How about I break up with him and return to Markovia?” Instead of staying and having a relationship here, I think I may as well return to Markovia and focus on my career. If worse comes to worse, I can still kidnap the man back to Markovia and make him my kept man.
Upon hearing that, Desire narrowed her eyes as Janet sounded like she was serious.
On the other hand, since Janet failed to discern anything from the serial numbers on the bullets, there was nothing Mason could do in Markovia so he took a flight back to Sandfort City that night.
Upon returning to the Lowry Residence, the man felt empty inside, as if he had lost something.
In the past, whenever he returned home from business trips or working overtime, he would see Janet lying on the couch, waiting for him.
However, today, not only did she not wait for him, she did not even come downstairs to greet him.
And so, he took off his suit jacket and placed it on the couch before heading to the second floor.
Carefully, he opened the door to his room, thinking that he would see Janet sound asleep but to his surprise, there was nobody inside.
It was pure darkness in the room without any lights switched on, which proved that she had not come back all night.
He sat by the bed and waited for a while, but she was nowhere to be seen.
A sense of foreboding slowly appeared in his heart. Could it be that she has gotten herself into danger during her mission?
With such thoughts in mind, he immediately took out his phone and tapped open the call logs, giving her a call.
The phone rang for a long time on the other side but nobody picked up, which instantly made the man panic.
He then hurried out from the room and went downstairs to look for the servants.
When the servants heard the noise, they put down their tasks at hand and gathered in the living room.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 776
“Young Master Mason, do you have any orders?”
“Where’s Jan?”
“Huh? Hasn’t Miss Jackson come back yet?” The servants looked at one another with puzzled looks on their faces.
Janet left the house in the evening and since it was midnight now, the servants thought that she had gone to bed.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHowever, for some reason, she had yet to return; she did not even give a call.
Mason inhaled deeply, suppressing the wrath inside him. “Did she say anything before she left?” His voice was terrifyingly cold.
The young lady’s whereabouts had always been a mystery. If she did not want anyone to know where she was, nobody could find her, so searching for her now might not produce any results.
The servants were stunned for a few seconds before looking at one another and shaking their heads in unison.
Mason gritted his teeth when he saw them shaking their heads vigorously.
Just as he was about to blow a gasket, a servant suddenly stepped forward and said in a small voice, “Miss Jackson was with Sean before she left, so maybe he knows better about this.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySean? In other words, she left after she examined the bullets? Mason frowned, his straight brows deeply furrowed as he thought, Could it be that Sean told her about something, such as me seeing a woman’s body, which made her jealous so she’s ignoring me? Or perhaps she has found out the identity of that person through the bullets, but she intentionally hid it from me and went to look for the other party to settle scores on my behalf?
Nevertheless, both deductions were not outcomes he wished to see.
I won’t just sit by and watch any of them happen—no matter if it is Jan ignoring me out of jealousy or trying to avenge me after she discovered something from the bullets. In fact, the latter is worse because Jan is no match for that cunning woman. Mason had so many things going on in his mind at the same time that his head nearly exploded! It’s all Rose’s fault—if it were not because of her, I, the most powerful person in Asia, wouldn’t have experienced such exasperation! If something were to happen to my relationship with Jan, I definitely won’t let her go!
Meanwhile at the Royal Garden, Janet’s phone kept ringing in the room. She did not end the call nor did she switch off the phone; she just left it there to ring non-stop.
“Janet, are you really not going to pick up the phone?” Desire reminded her from one side.
Janet did not even glance at the phone while a cold smile played on her lips.
Only when the phone stopped ringing did she pick the phone up. She tapped open the call log and glanced at it nonchalantly.
Just as she had expected—they were all calls from Mason.
Janet frowned. He called me so late at night, probably because he realized that I am not at the Lowry Residence. Hmph, you can call me as many times as you want!
She put down her phone, picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine.
At one in the morning in the Lowry Residence, the man had been sitting on the couch as he waited for her for an hour. All the servants, who were standing off to one side, lacked the courage to make any sound as they could feel the cold aura emanating from Mason.
Sean, on the other hand, was even more horrified. Cold sweat kept dripping down his back and forehead, but he dared not wipe it away. “Young Master Mason, if we really can’t find Miss Jackson, should we contact Rose and ask for her help to find her?”
The Lowry Family had sent their men to go look for Janet an hour ago but to no avail.
However, Rose might have a way to locate her; after all, her hacking skills were comparable to Mason’s.
Perhaps she was able to locate Janet.
Hearing that, Mason pursed his lips. He’s suggesting that I beg for Rose’s help? I can’t do that! If it weren’t for Rose, Jan wouldn’t have disappeared in the first place!
As Mason did not agree to it, nobody dared to say anything.
After falling silent for some time, he started to hesitate. If I really bow down to Rose, it would be akin to being humiliated by a woman, which would make me lose my pride.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 777
Nevertheless, my dignity is nothing in the face of Jan’s life. If my conflict with Rose were to cause Jan to be injured, I won’t ever forgive myself for the rest of my life. Analyzing the pros and cons of the situation made Mason feel as if his head was about to explode.
After a while and lots of contemplation, he finally made up his mind. He waved at Sean and gave an order. “Convey—”
Before the man managed to finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID displayed on the screen, his frozen expression eased slightly and a hint of delight flashed across his eyes. He immediately picked up the call. “Babe.” Mason’s voice was gentle when he called her name.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet took a sip of wine while holding her phone and asked in a soft voice, “What’s the matter?”
Mason was used to her cold character. His pink thin lips parted as he murmured, “You didn’t pick up my calls earlier, so I thought something might have happened to you.”
His voice held traces of worry and gentleness, forming a stark contrast from the tone he had when he was giving orders earlier.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his gentle tone—they nearly thought that they would not be getting any rest tonight.
“I didn’t notice it earlier. Why did you call me?” Janet had an indifferent tone.
“Why did you go out? Why didn’t you tell me?” His eyelids fluttered as he felt that the girl on the other end of the line seemed more distant than usual.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“I forgot to tell you that I won’t be going home tonight,” she answered and fell silent, waiting for the man to reply.
Mason was a little surprised to hear that and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Ever since she had moved to the Lowry Residence, she had never stayed out before, so why was she so cold toward him today and even chose to spend a night outside?
Mason, who had just started to feel a little relieved, became anxious again. His thin lips parted. “Jan, did you find something?” In fact, what he wanted to ask her was if she had found out that he had seen a woman’s body when he was searching the villa before this.
Janet raised a brow and smiled, “What do you mean?”
If I don’t tell her the truth now, Jan will probably refuse to come back and I will not be able to have her anymore. Mason thought that he could no longer hide it from her any longer so he carefully admitted, “When I was on my previous mission, I accidentally saw a woman’s body.”
Janet initially thought that he had realized that she had found out about his identity, but it turned out to be something insignificant.
“Okay,” she muttered. Then, she continued, “You don’t need to report to me about such a small matter.”
Hearing that, Mason’s heart sank and his charming eyes turned icy as he asked coldly, “Jan, what do you mean?”
Janet raised her brow, a hint of amusement in her tone. “Are you being fierce with me now?” If he has the courage to be fierce to me today, doesn’t that mean that he would have the courage to hold a knife to my throat tomorrow? I think he is getting cocky now!
When the man heard her tone, he instantly panicked and explained, “Babe, I’m not.”
He did not know why Jan’s attitude toward him changed so much in just a day. I wonder what’s with her?
“Alright; I was just kidding. I’ll go back tonight.” With that, she directly hung up the call.
Mason’s heart was in his mouth when he heard the beeping sound on the phone.
Other than that incident, what else did I do that made her angry? Or am I being overly sensitive? Mason was completely puzzled.
On the other end, Janet quickly hung up the call for fear that she would spill the beans about the incident earlier. “Ask Lara to prepare a few more masks for me—those that have never been worn before.” Janet gave some orders to Desire as she put on her jacket.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 778
Mason has been giving me so much trouble all this while, so how can I end this special relationship he has with ‘Rose’ with a simple explanation? Moreover, even though he knew that I was J’Adore previously, he pulled a prank on me on purpose. I can’t let this slide easily.
“Sure!” Desire looked at Janet and urged, “Janet, don’t take it too far, though.” If these two bosses are to really break up, it will cause a lot of hassle!
It was two in the morning when Janet returned to the Lowry Residence. For fear that she would startle the people inside, she silently returned to her room through the window.
There seemed to be a man lying in her room amidst the darkness.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe approached him and got a clear view of him—it was the familiar face of the man who she loved yet hated. A cold yet wry smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
She had made such loud movements, yet it did not wake the man up. These days, he must have been exhausted from racking his brain to think of a way to deal with her. She let out a light snort, her actions full of arrogance.
She then saw the man frown, which made her wonder what was on his mind.
She naturally lay down beside him and shut her eyes, though she felt frustrated inside.
At that exact moment, the man turned over.
Janet, who thought that he had been woken up, immediately got up from the bed and secretly left the room.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryUpon hearing the quiet sound of the door being closed, the man who was sound asleep frowned and reached out his hand to feel the spot beside him—it felt warm.
He instantly got up, opened the door and headed outside.
When he saw the figure in the hallway, he immediately called out to her. “Babe.”
The girl’s footsteps came to a halt and she turned to him, her face impassive. “You’re awake.”
Mason nodded. “Babe, are you still mad at me?” His voice sounded pitiful.
“Why would I be mad at you?” Her voice was deadpan and she even wore a wry smile. “Who you like to look at has got nothing to do with me.”
Hearing that, Mason was flustered. He lifted his feet in an attempt to step forward to explain the situation to her.
However, before he had barely taken two steps, Janet stopped him. “Don’t come near me. I don’t want to talk to you right now.” As she was speaking, she even took a few steps back.
Feeling worried that she might really leave home and never come back, he obediently remained at his spot. “Alright; I won’t go any closer but please don’t leave me. If it concerns you so much, I will avoid all other women in the future.”
Upon seeing his response, she couldn’t help but to inwardly feel glad, but her face gave nothing away. “Alright, alright. You go and get some rest. I’ll go to bed in a while.”
The man did not know how to respond, but staying silent would definitely be the right move now. So, he nodded meekly in response. Just as Janet was about to take her leave, he quietly cursed, “Rose, I won’t let you get away!” It’s all that woman’s fault! Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many misunderstandings between us and I would have been in my dreams with my girl in my arms.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 779
Mason gritted his teeth. This was all Rose’s fault and he wanted to make sure that she would never be able to step foot in Sandfort City again!
Janet had wanted to head downstairs to have something to eat but when she heard the string of curses that blasted down the hallway, she smirked and strode over to where Mason was standing instead. She stopped next to him, making a point to shoot him an icy glare, then brushed past him and went into the bedroom, thereafter locking the door.
Mason blinked.
What did I say this time?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHe stood at the same spot, looking confused as he stared at the door that was firmly shut in his face. He was clueless as to what he said to warrant such treatment.
Back in the bedroom, the corner of Janet’s lips tugged into a smirk as she pulled out her phone and made a call.
“Rose here. Tell your boss that I want to see him at the teahouse tomorrow at six in the evening. He has to show up alone and don’t think about bringing anything! Remember, I have eyes everywhere in Sandfort City.”
With that, she hung up before the person on the other end could respond.
A sinister glee rose within her as she clutched her phone.
She reveled at the thought of seeing that man’s thunderous expression.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryOn the other end, the man who worked in Black Rain’s communications office stared at his phone in bewilderment.
Rose? Rose wants to see the boss? Why would Rose want to see the boss all of a sudden?
After all, both of them were rivals and there was absolutely no reason for them to meet. He wondered if there would be a fight and if so, did that mean that Rose was going to take the chance to eradicate Black Rain altogether?
The messenger could not comprehend her intentions so he quickly made a call to Sean to inform him of this.
Meanwhile, Mason was in his study when Sean came in to relay the details of the messenger’s phone call to him. “Mr. Lowry, Rose requests a meeting with you at the teahouse tomorrow at six in the evening.”
Mason had his eyes closed while he rubbed the spot above his brow, but when he heard Rose’s name, his eyes flew open and flashed dangerously. “Rose?” he repeated.
Rose? Why would she want to meet me alone all of a sudden?
Upon seeing the rage that burned in Mason’s eyes, Sean pointed out, “She asks that you meet her alone and says she has eyes all over Sandfort City.”
Mason clenched his fists slightly after hearing Sean’s words.
Hmph! I’m the most powerful person in Asia—why should I show up just because some lowly author asks me to? And who does she think she is to threaten me to not bring anything along?
Mason’s thin lips tipped up at the corners to form a devious smile.
“Mr. Lowry, in light of all this, why don’t I turn her down on your behalf?” Sean could tell that Mason was less than interested in meeting Rose, and he decided that it would be far more sensible to reject her ridiculous request.
In turn, Mason said nothing and nodded instead.
Sean nodded and spun to head out of the study,
However, just before he could close the door behind him, Mason called out flatly, “Wait.”
Sean turned around to look at the man—who was visibly angry as he sat behind his desk—and felt a chill run up his spine. He regarded Mason with respect as he asked, “Mr. Lowry, is there anything else I can help you with?”
Mason cleared his throat in response and was hesitant as he said, “I’ll meet her.”
He wanted to see what that cunning woman was up to!
“Yes, sir,” Sean answered but he appeared pensive as he hovered by the doorway. “Should I tell Miss Jackson about this?”
Upon hearing this, Mason fell silent and after a pause he replied witheringly, “I’ll tell her myself.”
“Very well, sir.” Sean’s reply was followed by the soft clicking sound of the door closing shut.
What the hell is Rose up to?
Jan has been ignoring me all this while out of jealousy. If she finds out that I’m meeting up with another woman alone, will she run away from home and never come back?
A painful ringing seemed to reverberate through Mason’s headspace as he thought about this, and he winced as the headache seized him.
It was Wednesday the next day, and it was a school day, too.
Janet climbed out of bed and washed up, then got ready to head downstairs for breakfast.

When she arrived downstairs, Janet saw that the man was seated in the dining room, looking as though he had been waiting for her for some time.
“Good morning,” Janet greeted flatly, her face devoid of any expression.
Mason, on the other hand, was surprised at this unexpected interaction. A small smile played on his lips as he replied, “Good morning, Babe.”
As he said this, he shifted the bench to make room for her.

He bowed and greeted Mason with reverence. “Mr. Lowry, the soldiers who were injured are recovering well. They shall resume training tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Mason nodded.
At this, Sean backed away slowly.
He cast a brief glance at Janet before leaving the room.
The two of them are still fighting, I see.

Mason watched Sean leave, then cleared his throat and picked up from where he had left off. “Babe,” he called.
Janet did not look up at him, and instead hummed in response as she chewed on her toast.
Mason hesitated and after a pause, he said, “I’m seeing Rose at six in the evening and I’d like to know how you feel about it.”
She stopped chewing for a moment.
Mason frowned, thinking that she was jealous. However, she merely asked, “Is that so? Are you meeting her alone?”
He nodded. “I am.”
He added somberly, “I swear, there’s nothing going on between Rose and myself. If there is, I’ll chop off my—”
She listened as he swore earnestly and she couldn’t help but smile. She reached up and covered his mouth with her hand, swiftly cutting him off in a deadpan voice, “Don’t swear such silly oaths. I believe you.”
He was shocked as he took her hand in his.
Janet was finally speaking to him after giving him the cold shoulder for the past one day.
He held onto her soft hand and placed a light kiss on it, his eyes darkening with emotion. “I love you, Babe.”
She could feel the slight moisture on her palm and she drew her hand back slightly. “I know,” she answered lightly.
The chill in her voice reminded him to not push his luck.
He smiled and moved his lips away from her hand.
She finished off the last of her toast and strode over to the sofa, thereafter taking her backpack before turning to say, “I’m hanging out with a couple of friends tonight, so I won’t be back till late. You can go to bed first; you don’t have to wait up for me.”
Mason looked at her gorgeous side profile and made a noise of agreement. “Stay safe, Jan,” he murmured in a low voice.
At Woodsbury University, Janet had only just stepped into the medical science lecture hall when she heard the chatter that seemed to center on some plagiarism that took place during the examination.
“I heard that the person who got full marks during the test apparently plagiarized Lady Rose’s writing.”
“What? She copied Lady Rose’s work for her essay?”
“Yeah; I saw the exposé on Reddit!”
“The whistleblower didn’t say who it was but she did point out that it’s the same person who got full marks on the test. Who else is there in our course?”
“Do you think she means Janet?”
“Probably. I mean, she’s the only person in the entire faculty who got full marks.”
“No; it can’t be. She got full marks—what use is there for her to plagiarize someone else’s work?”
“Exactly! She got full marks on two other modules as well. She can’t have plagiarized.”
Abby was in her seat, incredulous at the gossip that was taking place around her. “Are you guys for real? It’s impossible that Janet cheated. She scored full marks on her essay for the college entrance exams as well, so why in the world would she plagiarize Lady Rose’s work in the first place?”
Sharon came to Janet’s defense as well. “Precisely! Besides, Janet has never read any of Rose’s books. You can’t go around accusing her just because she’s the only person who got full marks.”
“We’re just stating facts and we’re merely talking about whatever was posted on Reddit. If you guys have a problem with this, why don’t you take it up with the whistleblower?”
