Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 821
“I knew it. How can that wench Janet be Rose? There’s no way Rose is that wench either.”
The corner of her lips twitched faintly, then she walked out the door.
In the corridor, the staff at the Royal Academy of Music were all staring at their screens. They all looked like diehard fans as they talked excitedly. “I didn’t expect my favorite author to be this pretty.”
“Yes, I didn’t think she would be this young—she’s still a student. She’s even the top scholar in Sandfort City! I never would have imagined.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“I really want to go to Sandfort City to catch a glimpse of her!”
When Emily heard them, she froze right away.
All of that was true! How can this be? The last pillar she was relying on also crumbled. Not wanting people to see the terrible state she was in, she quickly ran into the restroom to hide.
What else did she have to compete with Janet now? She scoffed. What else is there? How did this happen? She had been studying piano diligently in Yobril this whole time. How could Janet be getting all the fame in Sandfort City?
How was the world so unfair?
While she was resenting Janet, Janet was getting off the stage after finishing her short introduction.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe scene was a mess. A swarm of authors and fans quickly surrounded her.
“Rose, I really love your work. I never imagined you were this beautiful.”
“Rose, can I get your autograph? Sign it on my chest.”
“Rose, sign your autograph on my chest, too. I won’t ever take a shower!”
“Rose, I read both ‘Warm Blade’ and ‘Warm Blade II’. I love your style. Can I get your contact details to keep in touch with you?”
Currently, it was no longer a Writers Association meeting but Rose’s autograph signing event.
The corners of her lips twitched slightly as she glared at Eric.
With an awkward look on his face, he quickly called for security to escort her backstage.
The audience watched her leave then eventually quietened down a bit.
Outside the venue of the meeting, a black Maybach was parked at the entrance. Inside the car, the live broadcast of The Tenth Writers Association was being played.
The man sitting in the backseat of the car had a smirk on his face. His black eyes were trained on the screen at the girl’s back as she made her way backstage.
Raising his hand, Mason massaged his temples and let out a sigh. What should I do?
Because of how outstanding his girlfriend was, he gained several rivals all of a sudden. It was truly frustrating. Did they really ask her to sign her autograph on their chest? Are they out of their minds? How daring of those lowly peasants to make such demands when her actual boyfriend hasn’t even done so?
Luckily, she did not agree with that person’s request. Otherwise, he was going to teach her a lesson when they got home!
“Young Master Mason.” Sean stared at him and gulped. “Aren’t you going to go in and get Miss Jackson?”
They had rushed from the Lowry Family Conglomerate to the venue within fifteen minutes, but now that they were here, Mason simply remained silent. Sean couldn’t understand him.
“I’ll wait for her to come out.” Mason sighed.
If he went in there now, it would certainly cause a great stir. After all, they all knew that he was a married man, but they just did not know that his wife was Janet.
At that moment, however, more and more cars were starting to gather outside the meeting venue.
The once quiet entrance was suddenly filled with over a dozen cars.
He saw people with cameras in their hands pouring out of the cars. If my guess is right, these reporters have come from television stations to interview Janet.
Sean glanced at the rearview mirror and reminded, “Young Master Mason, if Miss Jackson doesn’t show up now, once more people start to gather later, she might not get to leave the place so easily anymore!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 822
Mason’s face grew serious at his words.
In the next moment, he was reaching for his sunglasses and cap in the backseat. After he put them on, he took off his suit and quickly got out of the car.
Seeing that, Sean also followed after him.
Once Janet returned backstage, she was about to sit down and rest when a whole crowd of reporters came out of nowhere with cameras pointed at her face.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySome of them even went as far as to hold their cameras in one hand and a pen and paper in the other to get her autograph.
“Rose, I love your book, ‘Warm Blade’. Can I please have your autograph?”
“Rose, please tell us your thoughts about being the youngest chairperson in the history of the Writers Association.”
“Can you reveal how you feel at the moment?”
“Can you give us a teaser for other spectacular works you will be releasing next year?”
The corner of her mouth twitched. She could not get herself out of the situation.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryIf she had known the aftermath of her appearance would be this intense, she would have hired a group of bodyguards beforehand.
At that moment, however, a path was suddenly made between the reporters who were standing in front of her.
She looked up automatically.
When their eyes met, her expression stiffened.
Mason is here too!
The reporters pointed their cameras at the man who had walked over. “And you are?”
But Mason did not give an answer and only walked straight toward Janet. Stretching a hand out, he said, “Come with me.”
Even though he was wearing a cap and sunglasses, she was still able to recognize him. Nodding, she put her small hand in his and was taken away.
The reporters were all dumbfounded.
“What is happening? Why is this guy taking Rose away?”
“Sh*t. Could he be Rose’s boyfriend?”
“No way. Does she already have a boyfriend?”
“Follow them. Hold them back!”
They all knew that if the man who showed up suddenly was really her boyfriend, it would become breaking news today.
As reporters, none of them wanted to miss the chance to report breaking news.
The man grasped Janet’s hand tightly and took one step after the other out of the building.
When they got to the car, he opened the door to let her in.
Once they were all set, Sean drove off.
By the time the reporters came out, only the shadow of a car was left behind.
The group of reporters remained frozen in place for having missed the chance to take pictures.
“F*ck! They’re gone!”
“I’m certain that’s Rose’s boyfriend!”
“Although he had sunglasses on, he looked quite decent just by looking at his physique and face shape.”
“Release the news quickly. It will definitely make headlines.”
“Sh*t. I’m heartbroken!” One moment they were in love, and the next they were heartbroken.
Barely a few seconds after pictures and videos were released, it became a trending topic.
‘Rose revealed to be Janet Jackson!’
‘How many identities does Janet have?’
‘Photos of Janet!’
‘Rose was named the youngest chairperson in the history of the Writers Association.’
‘Rose received the most votes in history!’
‘Rose’s boyfriend!’
‘While backstage, Rose’s boyfriend came and took her away!’
The top ten trending searches online were all about Janet.
Inside the black Maybach, Janet asked, “How did you know I was here?”
Mason smirked. “Mr. Goldstein told me you got taken to the Writers Association Meeting, so came here right away.”
She let out a smile then took off her cap and sunglasses.
His face grew serious as he hinted his jealousy at her. “A male fan asked you to sign on his chest earlier. What did you think about that?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 823
Janet lifted her head awkwardly and stammered, “Did you watch the live broadcast?”
Mason scoffed at her. “I was so close to rushing in and grabbing you out of there without a disguise just to see who would still dare covet you.” Who would still dare covet my woman?
She couldn’t hide her smile. “They didn’t mean anything behind it. If I had actually agreed to it, they wouldn’t necessarily dare to lift their shirts for me to sign!”
Under her identity as Rose, she did not have many male fans compared to her identity as Sweet Tune.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryNinety percent of Sweet Tune’s fans were male. Mason would ooze with jealousy if he found out!
“I won’t allow that. Now that they know you have a boyfriend, I will burn anyone who dares to ask for such a request again.” His face was serious, and his voice didn’t sound happy.
Rolling her eyes at him, she reached out to squeeze his big palm and draw circles on it with her fingertip. “Don’t be jealous now.”
Wasn’t it clear who she belonged to?
“Hmph.” He kept his eyes on the barrage of comments on the live broadcast playing on the screen inside the car and ignored her.
Sean who was driving seemed to have noticed. Casting a side glance at the comments on the live broadcast, he only saw comments such as ‘I want to marry you, Rose’ and ‘I like you, Janet’ on the screen.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryIt was no wonder the man in the backseat was furious.
With a smirk, Sean quickly stretched out and turned off the screen inside the car.
Noticing his action, Janet slid her finger across Mason’s chest lightly. “The live broadcast is turned off now. Are you still jealous?”
“Comfort me,” he said shamelessly.
Getting up, she held his neck and whispered, “How should I do that?”
There was some movement in his throat. He grabbed her small hand and pressed it against his sturdy chest. “What do you think?”
Inching closer toward him, she placed her warmth against his neck and sighed. “Like this?”
With a snap, the last restraint in his mind broke.
Her warmth traveled from his neck to his limbs. Not only was his upper body heating up, but his lower body was in even more agony. At that moment, his stone-cold heart was also starting to boil.
His gaze fell on her playful pink lips, and he could not help but want to ravage them.
After placing a light peck on his lips, she moved away as quickly as a dragonfly.
His eyes lit up. Squeezing her waist, he put her on his lap and kissed her slowly from the corner of her lips down to her neck.
Meanwhile, at the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril, Emily was standing in front of the restroom mirror and staring at her miserable face.
Slam! Out of frustration, she drove a fist into the mirror violently.
No wonder Janet generously gave out over thirty autographed copies of ‘Warm Blade’ when we were still in Star High School. When it was sold out all over the world, she was able to give out over thirty signed copies. Why… Why didn’t it occur to me at the time that Janet was Rose herself? But why did Janet have to pretend that she was not Rose? Had it been her plan all along to make a grand surprise? Did she want to give me a big slap across the face? A woman like her is just too fcking calculating. She is the definition of a btch!
Moreover, Megan must be beyond delighted to find out that Janet is Rose.
What did it mean to be the chairperson of the Writers Association? In the world of literature, it was similar to being the president of the Music Association.
Emily, however, was still a student under Hilbert. Who knew when she would become president!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 824
Emily did not want to admit it, but it was the truth. Therefore, she was even more frustrated. She was also the Jackson Family’s daughter, so why was Janet able to bask in glory in Sandfort City while she had to suffer in Yobril?
Just then, a staff member walked into the restroom and said, “Emily, Mr. Hilbert asked to see you. He wants to talk to you about something.”
She hesitated for a moment, then gathered herself and nodded. “I got it.”
“Did you cry? Your eyes are red.” The staff member handed her a piece of tissue paper.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryEmily shook her head and walked past the person without accepting it. “I’m fine. Thank you.”
Watching Emily leave arrogantly, the staff member scowled. “I was just being nice. How ungrateful.”
When the voice sounded from inside the restroom, Emily clenched her hands and gritted her teeth. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? What right do you have to talk behind my back? I’m one of Hilbert’s students. How qualified are you to criticize me? What a joke. Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door to Hilbert’s office.
Not long after, the mature and steady voice of a man came from inside. “Come in.”
Once she opened the door, she kept her temper under control and put a smile back on her face. “Mr. Hilbert, did you want to see me?”
Hilbert’s green eyes moved from the screen to look at her. “Yes. Have a seat and we can talk.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Okay,” she answered politely before taking a seat.
He rubbed his eyes and started with a somber expression, “The global competition I told you about last time is happening next week.”
Hearing those words made her spring to her feet. She exclaimed, “What?” It’s happening next week?
He nodded. “I will also ask Hazel to return and take part in this competition.”
Hazel is coming back too? She clenched her hands nervously. Pressing her hands together until her fingernails turned white, she asked, “Is it taking place in Yobril?”
He pursed his lips. “If nothing goes wrong, that should be the case.” Currently, he had yet to receive the list of contestants and did not know the details about Emily and Hazel’s places. Since they were already competing, however, he was surely hoping that one of them would win the competition.
“In that case, Mr. Hilbert…” She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly. Feeling extremely nervous, she asked, “Is there a high chance that Hazel and I can win the competition?”
“I can’t say for sure. If you’re able to keep your style consistent, and if the contestants are at the same level as the contestants from the previous competition, then there is quite a high chance.” He did not hide anything from her and spoke to her frankly.
“The contestants from the previous competition?” She frowned. “Can you tell me who the champion was last year?” With a reference, she would know the level she was at in comparison.
Squinting his eyes, he said in a normal tone, “There were two champions last year. One was Gordon Yaleman from Sandfort City, and the other was a contestant from Chestshire. But those who won last year are not allowed to take part in the competition again this year.” That was a rule in the competition. The existence of this rule was to give newcomers a chance to win the title.
Emily was stunned when she heard that. If Gordon can’t take part in the competition, then who is the Music Association in Sandfort City going to send out this year? That completely baffled her. If she met a contestant who was better than her, then wouldn’t it be the end for her? But she thought, Other than Walter and Gordon, Sandfort City probably doesn’t have any more skilled contestants to send out.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 825
The news that Gordon was unable to take part in the competition was nothing but a sedative to Emily.
The redness in her eyes faded and was replaced with a gloomy smile.
Nothing was more important to her than this global competition. She had to be the winner in order to beat Janet.
Seeing the confidence in her eyes, Hilbert sighed and said, “You’ve been in Yobril for three to four months now. Logically speaking, you should be better than the other contestants, so I trust you won’t have a problem.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryUpon receiving a compliment, she lowered her head bashfully. “I’m completely relying on your guidance. I will not let you down in this competition, Mr. Hilbert.”
Moreover, she was not going to let herself or Megan down. She had to make Megan proud. That way, she would be able to contend with Janet.
Otherwise, she would have nothing left.
“Okay.” Hilbert lifted his gaze again. “You can work out your own schedule during this time. You can also return to Sandfort City to see your parents. Remember to come here on time next Saturday. I will take you to the venue.”
She paused for a few seconds. Widening her eyes, she asked, “Mr. Hilbert, are you saying I can go back to Sandfort City?”
At the thought of Megan and the other wealthy women looking at her with looks of admiration and envy, she was overwhelmed with excitement.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe wanted all her close friends to come to Yobril to watch her at the World Piano Competition, and Janet to see her become the champion for herself. I’m going to crush that wench’s power and prestige for good this time!
While Hilbert was busy sending out invitations on his computer to masters in the music industry from various countries, he said, “That’s all, Emily. You may leave.”
Pulling herself back, she nodded politely and said, “Okay, Mr. Hilbert.” Then, she walked out of his office with pride and confidence.
He was watching her leave from the back when a thought suddenly occurred to him. “We will only get the list of contestants the day before the competition. I’ll let you know when you return to Yobril.”
Without pausing to listen, she held the door handle and simply murmured a response in return before leaving.
It did not matter to her who was taking part in the competition now because, in the end, the champion could only be her.
She had to return to Sandfort City quickly and make a good appearance in front of the Jackson Family.
Meanwhile, inside a black Maybach in Sandfort City, Mason was getting more aroused and had kissed Janet’s lips until they were red.
A woman’s glossy red lips could easily make a man lose control of himself.
As he reached down to touch her, he was about to tug at what was in his way when he unexpectedly found a thick cotton object secured inside.
At that moment, his entire face turned dark, and his expression looked awkward.
On the other hand, Janet laughed to herself and pushed him away gently with her hands.
Then, she grabbed a pillow from inside the car and put it over him. “Calm yourself down first. It’s not good for you.”
His eyes were red, and his body felt like it was about to burst.
Because it was that time of the month for her, he couldn’t do anything except bite his lip to hold back. Using the pillow to block her view, he unbuckled his belt and started to move his hand rapidly.
When she heard his low moans, her body started to feel hot. Very quickly, she opened the car window for some air.
With a partition inside the car, Sean could not hear a thing but seeing the opened car window, he figured something indescribable must have happened.
Letting out a sigh, he stepped on the gas pedal even harder.
At Woodsbury University, the medical students were dumbfounded after they finished watching the live broadcast on their phones.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 826
Ninety-five percent of the votes?
Janet became the chairperson of The Tenth Writers Association just like that?
Not to mention, all the trending topics on Twitter were about her and Rose.
What’s happening?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryEveryone in the medical school had a look of disbelief and confusion on their faces.
“F*ck. Do you think she’s holding a grudge against us for how we yelled at her last time?”
“Oh no. I even told her she was petty and jealous of Rose.”
“Sh*t. I even talked bad about her behind her back!”
All those people who hated Janet based on their assumption that she hated Rose were rather taken aback. As it turned out, the person they hated was their beloved author, Lady Rose.
They were unable to process their thoughts all of a sudden.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“We only hated Janet because we thought she did not like Rose. Who would have thought that she was Rose herself?”
“Exactly. I only hated Janet for that reason too.”
“But why didn’t she defend herself even when we yelled at her?”
“She might be keeping a low profile. After all, many of the students in the department of literature are fans of Rose. If she exposed herself, it would have caused more problems.”
“Sigh. I feel so remorseful and ashamed. What should I do?”
“Will she hate us because of this? After the way we yelled at her, it feels like we don’t deserve to be her fans anymore!”
A few of them were Rose’s diehard fans and were close to tears from the panic.
They were all blaming themselves for being senseless. While Janet was being criticized, they only added fuel to the fire to join in the fun.
It was their biggest regret!
Sitting in her place, Abby rubbed it further into their faces. “I told you guys to trust Janet, but you just…” Hmph! They deserve it!
Sharon was also standing up tall and proud at the side. She gloated, “But you guys just didn’t trust her and even scolded her.”
Summer added, “That’s right. You’ve all hurt her badly.”
As they listened to the three of them, one of Rose’s diehard fans broke into tears. Through her sobs, she lamented, “It’s all your fault for not telling me and letting me say all those hateful things!”
Abby scoffed. “We didn’t know that Janet was Rose either, but we trusted that she would not plagiarize.”
Both Sharon and Summer nodded. “That’s right.”
If Hazel and Madelaine hadn’t joined hands and reported Janet for plagiarism, they still wouldn’t know that Janet was Rose and that Rose was Janet.
After that, a lot of people walked up to Hazel and said, “Hazel, once Janet comes back later, we hope you will go up to her personally and apologize.”
Apologize? Hazel looked bewildered.
I’ve already apologized to Janet on the online forum, but now they want me to lower my head and apologize in person too? Based on what?
Moreover, she was not the mastermind behind this issue.
From start to end, Emily and Madelaine were the ones who instigated her. Did it make sense that they wanted her to apologize now?
However, she did not say that out loud. With a calm expression, she said indifferently, “I’ve already apologized to her on the online forum. None of you should bother about matters between me and Janet.”
She was the daughter of the President of Yobril’s National Council. How could she lower her head that easily?
If Janet wanted her to lower her head and apologize later, she was definitely going to tell Sheldon and make Janet return the billions she stole from them in the past.
No one could have imagined that despite coming from a family of scholars and being the daughter of a wealthy family, Hazel was a coward in the face of conflict and did not even dare to say sorry.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 827
“But, you didn’t understand the situation before you accused Janet of plagiarism. That’s not right either…”
“Why isn’t that right? If she hadn’t kept it a secret, would I have reported it? All she can do is blame herself for hiding it like a liar.” Hazel was agitated that she nearly exposed the fact that Janet was a quack divine doctor. She knew this was not the time yet!
“How… How can you be like this?” The crowd looked at her in disappointment. They weren’t expecting the young lady of Yobril’s National Council to say something like that.
“It’s not your turn to order me what to do. If anyone dares to tell me what to do, I’ll tell my brother.” Hazel crossed her arms across her chest. The way she broke out in fury was ridiculous.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“You…” The crowd felt that they really couldn’t communicate with her, so they could only return to their seats.
Hazel stared at their backs, and she couldn’t stop nagging, “All of you are lackeys of a liar!” They are as blind as a bat. How can they still stand up for Janet in such a situation? With her arms still folded across her chest, she got angrier the more she thought about Janet. In the end, she simply took out her phone and called Sheldon.
The call was finally connected after ringing for a long time. “Hello.” A low, steady voice rose from the other side of the line.
The moment Hazel heard the voice, she was overwhelmed by aggrievedness, and she couldn’t speak. Her tears kept running down her cheeks. “S-Sheldon. Sheldon, I can’t stay in Sandfort City any longer. The students at Woodsbury University are trash. All of them only stood up for Janet Jackson and no one cared about my feelings.”
Hazel thought her hysterical complaints would trigger her brother’s sympathy, but the man on the other end simply demanded in his low and cold voice, “I know what you did in Woodsbury University, and I need you to apologize to Janet Jackson now!” Although what Hazel did had not caused too much of an impact on the Fuller Family, however, she had offended Janet, the one who had saved their father. Sheldon knew better than to bite the hand that feeds them.
As soon as Hazel heard her brother, she nearly cried out at his words. Immediately, she screamed, “Sheldon, even you’re protecting Janet Jackson too? You don’t know what her lackeys say about me.” She rubbed her eyes and felt terribly wronged.

“I’m not defending her.” Sheldon remained indifferent. “But, you have to apologize when you’ve done something wrong. By the way, the World Piano Competition is around the corner. Hilbert said you have to come back next Saturday to participate!” Before today, Sheldon could put up with all the troubles she caused, even when she gave up her piano to go to Sandfort City. However, if what she did was going to ruin the Fuller Family’s reputation, he would never sit back and do nothing.
When Hazel heard the two words ‘Piano Competition’, she immediately set aside her dissatisfaction and wiped her tears. “I got it.” Then, she ended the call immediately. She didn’t agree with what her brother said, but she couldn’t afford to let him down. If he was disappointed in her, she wouldn’t be able to come back to Woodsbury University after the piano competition to expose Janet as a liar. Gripping her arm tightly with her other hand, she bit her lip fiercely. All the compromises she was making and the grievances she was suffering were to make sure that she could send Janet to prison one day by her own hands. For that reason, she could only reluctantly send Janet a message on Messenger. ‘I’m sorry.’ However, this was an apology Janet owed her, and she would get it back from her one day!
Meanwhile, a phone in a black Maybach chimed. The tone pulled Janet back from her thoughts. Her gaze fell on the glowing screen, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but raise upward as she let out a sneer.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 828
The man’s phoenix eyes that were originally closed lifted slightly. He turned and looked at Janet. “What’s wrong?”
She gave him her phone and said with a smile. “Read it.”
The man’s gaze fell on the screen. Upon seeing those two words, his pupils shrank slightly. “She’s the one who accused you of plagiarism?”
“Uh-huh.” Nonchalantly, Janet went on, “And she’s from Yobril. I cured her father’s illness too. Maybe my appearance doesn’t match my capabilities, or she might have heard some rumors about me, so she thought I’m a liar and came to Sandfort City to expose me.” As she said that, she noticed the emotional changes of the man next to her. Quickly, she added, “Don’t worry. I can handle her.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAfter that, the man’s slightly clenched fists slowly relaxed. He reached out and swiped away the hair on her forehead. “If you really run into trouble and I can help, you have to tell me, okay?” He knew his girl was strong enough, but he still couldn’t help worrying about her. His love bound him to her. Therefore, his worry for her was inevitable.
Janet looked up at Mason. Arching her brows slightly, she hummed faintly in response. She then asked, “Do you have a laptop? I want to play!” When he heard her request, he reached out to the back seat, grabbed his laptop, and handed it to her.
As if she had done it a thousand times, Janet turned on the laptop. When the screen lit up, she asked without looking at him, “What’s the password?”
Mason made no attempt to conceal it. Calmly, he answered, “Your name in lower case.”
Tsk. She hissed at his reply in a profound tone. After logging into the laptop, she logged into her account, and her fingers quickly tapped away on the keyboard.
Curious, Mason leaned in and looked. This time, Janet did not flinch nor hide. Her account was completely exposed to him.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“When did you learn how to hack?” Mason’s breath skipped, and he sounded impressed.
She looked up and grinned slightly. “Three years ago.”
If one were to ask how good her hacking skills were, she would probably say that she came in first or second on the Hacker List. The first place was either her or him.
“What do you think about the Black Rain’s defense system?” Mason’s charmingly low voice carried a hint of helplessness and indulgence.
Janet had hacked into the Black Rain’s system twice. Though she succeeded the first time, she couldn’t hack into the system after they upgraded the system with a new defense system. Mischievously, she raised an eyebrow. “The defense system you guys installed on the second time worked well.”
At her remarks, Mason ruffled her hair helplessly. “Do you know how long it took me to restore Black Rain’s system?” Every time he recalled that incident, he wanted to torture her in bed so badly.
Nevertheless, it seemed like Janet was really taking her time to think about his question. Her head ducked down as she thought seriously. “Based on your ranking on the Hacker List, one week should be enough to settle the problem.”
The man beside her was embarrassed by her response. One week? Then, babe really overestimated me. Mason was about to say something when he suddenly heard a phone ring.
Janet looked down at her phone and saw that it was Gordon. She paused for a few seconds before she retracted her gaze and answered the call. Her voice was cold and distant. “What’s wrong?”
The young man’s calm voice was heard on the other side. “The World Piano Competition will begin next week. I’m afraid that you’ll have to participate this time.”
When Janet heard that, the corners of her mouth were raised slightly. “Isn’t there you and Walter?”
“Walter and I have participated before, so we can’t join this time.” He seemed to be gloating.
Immediately, Janet was slightly distressed. “If you guys really can’t make it, I’ll have to ask Roxy to represent me in the competition.” Roxy was a Markovian and couldn’t represent Sandfort City, but Janet came from Markovia, and he was her student.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 829
When Gordon heard her, he hissed and said, “Unfortunately, Roxy is going to represent Markovia this time. I don’t think he can help you.”
Speechless, Janet thought, So, I have to participate this year? But… didn’t Emily go to Yobril’s Royal Academy of Music earlier this year because she wants to represent Yobril? If I were to join, I might run into her, right? Besides, Hazel also came from the Royal Academy of Music. She might go back to Yobril for this competition. Janet got a terrible headache thinking about Emily and Hazel. “Just leave it aside first. I’ll decide depending on my mood.” Then, she ended the call.
“Who made you mad?” Mason looked at her from the side and smiled. She’s got a really bad temper!
Propping her chin in her palm, Janet said indifferently, “There’s a competition, and I might have to participate.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryMason’s pupils shrank slightly at her words, and he was curious. “What competition?”
Seeing his curiosity, Janet deliberately arched an eyebrow and teased, “Dance competition. So, I’m still considering it.” As soon as she said that, she noticed that the temperature in the car was dropping. She snorted at his reaction and wanted to explain, but the car came to a stop. Looking out the car window, she saw the two words ‘Woodsbury University’. “I’ve got to go.” Immediately, she opened the door, got out of the car, and walked toward the university entrance without looking back.
Mason stared at her slender figure, and his fists clenched slightly. It was hard for him to not be jealous when he saw his little girl becoming more and more outstanding.
The moment Janet set foot inside the gate of Woodsbury University, countless eyes fell upon her. Nonetheless, there were no curses and criticism; it was only envy and admiration.
“Look; Janet Jackson is back!”
“It’s really her! Did she just come back from the meeting?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Wow! I had no idea that Janet Jackson was Rose. I misunderstood her.”
“With her sudden change in identity, she’s become the youngest ever chairperson of the Writers Association.”
“Yeah. I even accused her of plagiarism behind her back.”
“Now that’s a slap in your face, then!”
“Will I look bad if I go up to ask her for an autograph?”
“I doubt it. The guys at the medical school told me that she’s very nice!”
“Anyway, I’m embarrassed to look at her now. I don’t have the guts to go up to her!”
Janet remained cold when she heard those words. Unconcerned, she walked straight to the medical school. As soon as she entered the classroom, a few people approached her and bowed. With their heads down, one of them said with a great sense of guilt, “Janet Jackson, we’re sorry. We’ve misunderstood you.”
The scene left Janet speechless. Twitching the corners of her lips, she said nothing and went back to her seat. Those students thought that she didn’t want to forgive them when she kept quiet. So, they kept bowing and didn’t get up.
Looking at them, Hazel bit her lip and rolled her eyes at Janet. Huh. They’ve already apologized, but she still doesn’t want to accept it. How arrogant! But, this makes sense, though. Now that she’s Rose, the youngest chairperson of the Writers Association, it’s normal to be inflated. If we’re in Yobril, I’ll probably tear down her pretentious face in seconds!
“Janet Jackson, can you forgive us? We’re truly sorry. We said those things because we had no idea you were Rose. We said that because of the rumors!” Those students continued to stand there and apologized to Janet in unison. They were sincere, and their voices were so loud that Janet’s ears hurt, so she moved her lips slightly. “Don’t stand there anymore. Just go back to your seat.”

Upon hearing Janet’s remarks, those students quickly looked at her. They were slightly relieved when they saw her in her usual state. Standing up, they went back to their seats. Meanwhile, Hazel let out a hiss at the sight, and it reached the ears of those students from earlier. They nearly forgot that Hazel had not apologized yet!
“Hazel, if we weren’t mistaken, you haven’t apologized to Janet.” They went to her and reminded her.
Hazel sat in silence for a long moment. Then, she looked at them coldly. “I’ve already apologized.” I’ve apologized to Janet on Messenger. Why should I do it again? This is ridiculous!
“But ever since Janet came in, you haven’t told her you are sorry!” After they learned that Janet was Rose, they naturally wanted to save face for their idol.

“Yeah. Had Eric Lawson not been here to clarify for Janet, she wouldn’t be able to prove her identity even at this point.”
“No matter what, you have to apologize to her in person.”
Standing beside Hazel, those students kept nagging at her.
Although Hazel found them unreasonable, she could only choke herself with silent fury. Keeping her wrath to herself, she went to Janet bitterly. Then, she took a deep breath and apologized reluctantly, “Janet, I’ve misunderstood you. I’m sorry.”
When Janet heard her voice, she lifted her eyelids lazily. Glancing at her, she said nothing and continued to play with her phone. Her attitude nearly set Hazel’s lungs ablaze with rage.

I really have to let Sheldon come to see for himself that the woman he likes is someone like this. How disgusting, thought Hazel. But the moment she recalled her brother’s words from earlier, she could only swallow her thoughts and return to her seat with clenched fists.
Janet’s fame is only momentary. After winning the first prize in the World Piano Competition, I’m sure there’ll be a lot of fans defending my reputation. How can Janet Jackson be my match? This is foolish.
It was ten minutes before the bell rang. Hazel had picked this time on purpose to put up her hand.
Nina raised an eyebrow at the sight of her. “Miss Fuller, what’s wrong?”
Hazel’s eyes flickered in response. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she said, “I may have to take a few days off next week to go back to Yobril.”
“Take a few days off?” Nina was startled for a moment. “You guys must be busy with homework recently. If it’s no big deal, you shouldn’t be running around.”
Hazel raised her chin slightly at her teacher’s words before she ducked her head down shyly. “Miss Hogan, this is not a trivial matter. The World Piano Competition will take place in Yobril, and Mr. Hilbert insisted that I have to go back and participate.”
As soon as she said that, the crowd was astounded.
“What? World Piano Competition?”
It was a well-known fact that there would be a lot of star pianists and musicians at the scene of the World Piano Competition. This kind of competition could be considered a global competition, and whoever won the championship would obtain glory for their country.
“I see. Then, you can send me the specific dates through Messenger.” Nina knew whoever participated in this sort of competition represented the country, and the competition was prestigious; she had to let Hazel go.
Noticing the envious gazes coming from her classmates, Hazel couldn’t help but look up at her teacher when she hummed gently in response. Her gentle, ladylike manners transformed her into someone different compared to her earlier ill-tempered behavior
