Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 841
The phone was quickly connected, but the voice coming from the other side was cold. “Hello?”
The moment Emily heard the familiar male voice, she was surprised and delighted. “Walter, you didn’t take part in this year’s World Piano Competition, did you?”
“No.”
Upon hearing that, Emily was overjoyed. “Then, do you know who is representing Sandfort City in the competition?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWalter knew nothing about the competition this year. Besides, he still didn’t know if Janet was going to attend, so he shook his head. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen the list.”
He hasn’t seen the list? And he hasn’t heard about it yet? Does this mean that this year’s participants aren’t very well-known, or does this mean that no one will be representing Sandfort City? If this is the case, it’ll be great because I’ll have one less competitor. At the moment, Emily suddenly felt like the trophy was already within reach.
“Do you have anything else to say?” The man’s voice on the other end was unusually cold.
“Walter, the Jackson Family is hosting a banquet to celebrate my participation in the World Piano Competition. Would you like to come?”
Walter went silent on the other end of the phone. Emotionlessly, he said, “I’ve something to do here. I’ll end the call.” The minute he said that, he really hung up.
Staring at the phone, Emily was confused. What’s that supposed to mean? Is he looking down on me? Although I once left a bad impression in front of him, now that I’m about to become the champion of the World Piano Competition, how can he still look down on me? What does he mean? Walter and Janet are friends. Could it be that Janet is keeping him away from me? This was the only reason Emily could think of. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet probably got him to annoy me because she couldn’t stand to see me becoming the champion. I won’t be fooled by that b*tch!
“Emily, call your sister. Tell her to come back home. We’ll go to the banquet together tomorrow.”
Emily heard Megan’s request as soon as she ended the call. Immediately, her mood worsened. It’s my banquet; why does Janet have to follow along? If Janet showed up, the guests would focus their attention on her again. Why should I invite her?
Having said that, she knew the banquet was held to celebrate her success, and the guests were all important figures from Sandfort City’s music and business industries. Luckily Janet couldn’t play the piano, so the guests probably wouldn’t talk to her too often. Besides, she was one of the candidates for the championship. Naturally, people would compare her with Janet. In this way, her capabilities and strengths would be more striking.
Thinking of that, Emily felt better. “Okay, Mommy. I’ll call Janet now.” She picked up her phone and called Janet. The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Emily heard an indifferent voice on the other end. It was so cold that she couldn’t figure out Janet’s emotion. “What’s wrong?”
Emily lifted one of the corners of her mouth and smiled triumphantly. “Janet, Mommy wants you to come home today. We’re going to the banquet tomorrow at Holden Hotel together. Besides, a lot of successful people in the music industry are coming tomorrow. You can come and get to know them too!”
Holding the phone in her hand, Janet crossed her legs lazily and laughed. “Forget it. I’m not free tomorrow.”
When Emily heard her, her expression changed subtly. Holding back her anger, she said indifferently, “Okay. If you don’t want to support me, I can’t force you to.”
Janet hummed in response and hung up.
The moment Emily heard the beep sound from the phone, her expression sank.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 842
What in the world is she playing at? Janet isn’t going to show me support? What right does she have to not support me? She’s really shameless!
Seeing Emily standing utterly still with her fists clenched, Megan couldn’t help but feel puzzled and asked, “Emily, what’s the matter?”
Emily was taken aback. She turned to face her mother, looking pained. “Mom, Janet said she won’t come to the banquet. “
“She’s not coming?” Megan’s expression turned slightly unpleasant.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Yeah,” said Emily with an empathetic expression. “She doesn’t know anything about piano anyway. Rather than going there and spacing out, I reckon it’s best that she stays home.”
Having heard that, Megan nodded and agreed, “That’s right. Try on the dress. If it’s too loose or too tight, I’ll ask the designer to alter it.” She then placed the gift box containing the dress on the table.
Retrieving the gift box, Emily couldn’t help but feel slightly overjoyed by the sandy texture beneath her fingertips.
She didn’t need to look at it to know that the dress in this gift box was custom-made.
“Thanks, Mom.”
After picking up the box, Emily skipped up the stairs.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWhen she was upstairs, Emily admired herself in the mirror and was stunned by her own beauty.
“It’s gorgeous.” She twirled in delight, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Megan heard the sounds and hurriedly went upstairs and opened the door.
For a moment, Megan stood frozen in place, unable to get a single word out.
After a while, she came back to her senses. “Oh my God. Emily, you look so beautiful.”
It was as if after practicing piano for three to four months, she had begun to exude an artistic temperament.
Megan nodded in satisfaction.
“Mom, you think it looks good too?” Emily asked, blushing as she gazed at herself in the mirror.
“Of course. This dress is custom-made, and it’s embroidered with real diamonds.”
Megan had specially ordered this dress for Emily because of selfish reasons. After all, Emily was almost twenty years old now, so Megan wanted her to find herself a lucky man during an occasion as important as this.
In fact, Megan thought about it before and found that the three major families weren’t bad choices.
But, the Lowrys now had a new candidate for the lady of the family, and J’Adore was also the head of the No.1 organization in Markovia. No matter how much she wanted the lucky man to be Mason, she dared not let Emily provoke them.
Besides, the Sanders Family and the Moss Family were good candidates too. It would undoubtedly be best if Emily could get their attention!
After all, no wealthy family could refuse a well-bred young lady!
Upon hearing the words ‘real diamonds’, Emily straightened up and looked in the mirror more proudly than before.
Janet; oh, Janet. Mom is willing to use real diamonds to customize a dress for me, yet you don’t even have the right to walk through the banquet doors. Tsk, tsk! So what if you’re the biological daughter? In the end, you’re no better than me, and I’m the adopted daughter! Hahaha. Emily looked in the mirror with an unconcealable smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Janet was at the Lowry Residence. As soon as she ended the phone call with Emily, she walked into the living room and saw Sean holding a red paper that resembled an invitation.
When the man sitting on the sofa caught sight of Janet’s silhouette, he couldn’t help but appear a little more joyful. His thin lips opened slightly and he called out, “Babe.”
Janet hummed a faint answer and walked downstairs.
“What’s Sean holding?”
A small smile appeared on the man’s lips as he answered, “It’s an invitation from the Jacksons. Don’t you know about it?”
“Huh?” Janet stared at him incomprehensibly.
With one hand, Mason grabbed her so that she was sitting on his lap. He leaned against her and took a deep breath. “Apparently, it’s an invitation from the potential champion of the World Piano Competition.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 843
Mason had no interest in this kind of banquet unless it was related to Janet—only then would he take the initiative to organize one or participate in it.
Janet mouthed an ‘oh’, then raised her eyebrows. “So, what’s the plan? Not going?”
The man tightened his grasp as he roped his arms around her. “Babe, do you want to go?”
Janet took a look at the time and her schedule and found that there was nothing important going on tomorrow. Her eyes turned in a circle and she said in a laid-back manner, “It can be considered.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryDidn’t Emily say she wanted to tell J’Adore about me hooking up with Mason? I wonder how Emily will react if I attend the party as J’Adore? I’m quite looking forward to seeing her reaction!
Janet leaned against the man and lazily lay down. Looking at the paper in her hand, she announced, “Tell her we’re all going.”
The corners of Mason’s lips curled up slightly as he answered warmly, “Okay.”
She leaned into him as her slender white fingertips slowly grazed over the paper.
As he watched her acting all soft and sweet, for a moment, the man was filled with happiness.
At the same time, news of Mason’s agreement to attend the party reached Emily.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThen, the Sanders Family and the Moss Family agreed too.
For a short instant, Emily’s hands trembled with excitement.
I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect the three major families of Sandfort City to regard me with such respect. It seems like the World Piano Competition is still of high importance! Now that all three major families are attending, I reckon everyone in Sandfort City will start respecting me. Hahahaha!
At the Lowry Residence, Janet was lying in the man’s arms when she suddenly remembered something. She quickly got up and took out her phone to give Lara a call.
The girl’s cold and indifferent voice sounded. “Get someone to send a few hyper-realistic face masks over.”
When he heard this, Mason pursed his thin lips and his brows furrowed.
“Are you going to wear a mask to the party?” he asked after waiting for her to hang up the phone.
Janet murmured a bleak ‘yes’.
Now wasn’t the best time to reveal her face.
If she wanted to reveal herself, it would be better to wait for their engagement party.
Mason pressed his lips together, then reached out to grab her small hand. “Jan, how am I supposed to kiss you if you’re wearing a mask?”
He figured that this young lady had no regard for his reputation at all. She was going to wear a mask and a hyper-realistic one at that. People must already have the impression that he fooled around with many women.
Janet blinked, then deliberately smiled. “Then, when I kissed you in Rose’s mask, why didn’t you resist?”
I kissed him forcibly, but he didn’t avoid it, did he?
Upon hearing this, Mason was angry, but he also felt like laughing.
Just as he was about to explain himself, a sudden sound of footsteps came from outside.
Janet quickly rose from Mason’s lap and sat solemnly on the sofa.
The man’s lips were pressed into a straight line, and he looked rather displeased.
“Miss Janet, this is from Miss Lara.”
Janet looked up, then reached for the box that the man dressed in a black outfit was holding. She said nonchalantly, “Thank you. You can go now.”
The man dressed in black left.
Janet carefully opened the box and saw five hyper-realistic face masks with varying levels of attractiveness inside.
She heard that the black market had improved their skills of making hyper-realistic face masks, so there were now more options to choose from.
This was Mason’s first time seeing a hyper-realistic face mask that wasn’t being worn. He couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy as he gasped, “It’s so realistic!”
If he or the other members of the Lowry family wore this mask when they went on their missions, it might be helpful as they wouldn’t be recognized.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 844
The corners of Janet’s mouth lifted slightly. “The producers of these masks in Markovia’s black market have been acquired by us. If you want some, I can get them made for you. But, what do you think about paying a million per mask?” Janet said in a naughty tone.
The man gritted his teeth and gently pinched her at the waist. “A million for one mask? Miss Jackson, you sure know how to run a business.”
Janet smiled and pointed at the masks in the box. “Choose one that looks good to you.”
Mason took a deep breath and immediately got up to leave as he couldn’t stand the teasing. If he had a say, he had much rather she didn’t wear one. After all, none of those looks could compare to Janet.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet watched the man’s retreating back, and an evil smile appeared on her face. She randomly chose a mask and put it on.
On the other hand, Mason went upstairs and walked into the study. Sitting in the black leather office chair, he kneaded his forehead, then decided to make a phone call. Speaking in his low, magnetic voice, he instructed, “Have the people in the research department work on a hyper-realistic face mask. It must look exactly like a human face.”
His other identity had already been discovered. If he had a hyper-realistic face mask, it would be much more convenient to carry out missions. If he wasn’t mistaken, the group of people in black that attacked him in the teahouse last time had come for him thinking he was his alias. That identity of his could be a threat to the people of Markovia.
However, the person that dominated Markovia was Janet, and he didn’t think that it was her who had sent those men after him.
The next day, the entire Holden Hotel building had been rented by Brian, so this banquet was definitely one of the most luxurious events Sandfort City had ever seen. It was obvious that Brian and Megan attached great importance to this celebratory feast.
At around seven in the evening, all kinds of luxury sports cars were parked outside the hotel. The lowest grade of the lot were cars like Audis and Mercedes-Benzs. Evidently, all the guests were big shots. This time, the Jacksons had invited a total of fifty families, and more than forty had shown up. Even those who didn’t attend had sent gifts to congratulate them.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryBackstage, Emily couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Although she had been to many different occasions, and she had even watched the video of Mason’s 26th birthday party, she was the main focus of today’s event, which was a hundred times more exciting than watching a video. She certainly didn’t expect that so many people would come to support her.
Now, she couldn’t imagine what kind of a banquet Megan would organize for her if she actually won first place at the World Piano Competition. It would undoubtedly be an even grander occasion than Mason’s 26th birthday party! At the thought of this, Emily couldn’t resist a chuckle.
“Emily, come out. Everyone’s saying that they want to see you.” Megan was exhilarated by all the greetings.
Emily nodded, then lifted the hem of her dress, took a few deep breaths, and slowly walked out. Wearing a white dress embedded with dazzling diamonds, she gracefully and confidently followed Megan out. Her steps were light and her catwalk was as beautiful as a model’s. With her curvy figure and the artistic aura she was exuding, it was hard not to look at her.
At Emily’s appearance, many of the guests began to whisper in discussion.
“That’s Emily, the main focus of today! She’s beautiful indeed.”
“She’s even wearing a custom-made dress, and it’s embroidered with real diamonds! Tsk, tsk. The Jacksons sure do love her!”
“I must say; pianists certainly have a good temperament.”
“You don’t say. She looks completely different from before. She’s simply too beautiful!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 845
“Yeah. I think she can be considered as one of the three most beautiful women in Sandfort City.”
A feverish chatter rose among the audience.
Emily saw that she had attracted the attention of the guests and couldn’t help but rejoice.
She had been closed off in Yobril for so long, but now, she finally got to enjoy the attention of others. I’m afraid it’s Janet’s turn to suffer now! Hahahaha!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySeeing that Emily was standing in place, Megan hurried over to remind her, “Emily, quickly toast the guests and introduce yourself.”
Emily nodded obediently. “I’ll go now. ”
She hastily picked up the wine glass beside her and went forward to toast one guest after another.
“Emily, you’re getting more and more beautiful.”
“Of course. She’s entering womanhood after all. Have you been thinking about marriage lately? I think my son is a good match for you.”
Emily bowed and smiled shyly. “Thank you, but I want to put my career first, so I haven’t considered marriage.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryOh, how many men in Sandfort City are even worthy of me now? These people want to introduce me to prospective partners? Even so, they should see if their sons can be presented. How ridiculous.
However, she dared not voice out any of her actual thoughts.
“Emily, I heard that you’re the dark horse at this year’s World Piano Competition. Is that true?”
“That’s right. I saw on the news that you’re the most likely contestant to win first place!”
As she was being showered with all these compliments, Emily once again lowered her head and smiled. She said modestly, “Oh, don’t say that. Although I’ve not seen the list of participants, in the past, there have been strong contestants every year. So, there’s no guarantee that I’ll get first place.”
“Emily, don’t say that. We all have high hopes for you.” Everyone felt that Emily was being too humble. After all, if she really didn’t think that she would win, the Jacksons wouldn’t have been so anxious to organize such an ostentatious celebration.
“Thank you all for the encouragement. I certainly won’t let everyone down at the World Piano Competition.”
Emily smiled at them, appearing elegant and kind.
Meanwhile, at the Lowry Residence, Janet and Mason got into the car after changing into their respective outfits.
Leaning against Mason, Janet yawned, then said, “I’m going to take a short nap. Wake me up when we arrive.”
As he looked at the stranger’s face, he could still sense her familiar scent and taste. His frown eased and he answered, “Okay.”
She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, feeling at ease.
The black Maybach came to a stop in front of Holden Hotel.
There were many luxury cars outside the entrance, so if the people milling around didn’t take a careful look at the license plate, no one would know that the two most powerful people in Asia and Europe were seated in this humble vehicle.
Mason was going to carry Janet down the car, but when he touched her waist, Janet suddenly opened her eyes. Still in a haze, she looked around and said in a hoarse and sluggish voice, “Have we arrived?”
Mason nodded, and his voice was low and gentle when he spoke. “Yes.”
Janet jumped out of the car.
He then took her hand in his and the two of them walked toward the hotel entrance.
Inside the hotel, Emily sat with Megan and Brian at the guest table while they waited for the biggest names in the music and business industries to arrive.
Brian repeatedly reminded her, “Emily, Sandfort City’s biggest names are here tonight. You have to speak and act with caution, okay? And don’t offend the Lowry Family. We Jacksons can’t afford to offend them.”
Emily impatiently adjusted her hair and responded, “Dad, how many times have you said that? Do you think I won’t recognize the young masters of Sandfort City’s three major families?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 846
It would be ridiculous if Emily didn’t recognize Lee, Henry, and Mason.
Brian frowned and patiently said, “Not only the three major families. You should also watch how you speak to the other guests. Don’t offend the bigshots of the music industry, or your future will be over.”
He and Megan had tried their best to set up this huge event for her. If Emily screwed things up because of a few words, all their effort would be for nothing!
With a grin, Emily said proudly, “I know all of the bigshots in the music industry, so I definitely won’t offend them.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryFrowning, Brian asked doubtfully, “Even the piano master, Wesley Ford, and the junior pianist, Walter Lynn?”
Emily shyly lowered her head and pursed her lips, then said, “Of course, I know them. I even have Walter’s contact information.”
Although she had shamelessly asked Mr. Hilbert to give it to her, wasn’t she resourceful since she had eventually gotten it?
There’s nothing to be ashamed about!
Hearing this, Brian’s eyebrows instantly relaxed and he said with satisfaction, “Yes, good for you. It’s good that you know the importance of widening your network. After all, you’ll be on an equal footing with them in the future.”
“Exactly. That’s what I thought too.” As Emily said this, a trace of pride and delight flashed across her eyes.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryBoth Brian and Megan were content with her behavior. They nodded as Brian praised, “Look at how great Emily is. She really proved herself to be the daughter of the Jackson family. Although your sister is very talented in all aspects, if you become the champion of the World Piano Competition, you won’t pale in comparison.”
As soon as he said this, the smile on Emily’s face suddenly collapsed.
Does that mean that if I don’t win this competition, I’m not as good as Janet? That’s kind of absurd. I know that my ability to seduce men is indeed incomparable to Janet’s!
She didn’t say this out loud but simply kept it to herself.
“Dad, Mom, I will do my best.”
Since Janet was admitted to Woodsbury University, Megan and Brian’s attitude toward her had improved a lot. Plus, when she was revealed to be the author, Rose, her status in their parents’ hearts elevated.
If I don’t get first place this time, I might be kicked out of the house.
At the thought of living in the countryside, the dirty soil, and having to dress in off-the-rack clothes, Emily’s heart shuddered.
“All right. Emily, you stay here first. Your mother and I will go greet the guests.” Brian held Megan’s waist and slowly disappeared from Emily’s sight.
She nodded. As she watched their receding backs, a sense of gloominess surfaced inside her, and an indescribable rage burned in her heart.
It’s all because of Janet, that b*tch! Dad should’ve known better too. Why did he have to mention her for no reason? It’s just my rotten luck.
As she silently seethed, she turned and her gaze fell on a woman in the corner whom she had never seen before.
Emily frowned slightly, then glanced down at her own dress and back at the other woman’s, and her anger suddenly grew.
It was bad enough that her figure was similar to Janet’s. She was also wearing a limited edition gown, and it looked even more expensive than Emily’s.
A trace of anger erupted in Emily’s eyes.
She got up and slowly walked forward while lifting the hem of her dress.
Originally, Janet and Mason were supposed to stay at the VIP table in the corner of the banquet hall together, but when they walked in, they met Henry, so Mason followed him to discuss matters elsewhere.
Janet didn’t want to move around, so she stayed alone in the corner.
Sitting to one side, she sipped on her wine and looked down at her phone, appearing completely at ease and unbothered.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 847
However, a sharp female voice sounded and broke Janet’s tranquil state.
She saw Emily with her dress raised and a sour expression on her face. In a domineering manner, Emily demanded, “Which young lady are you?”
Emily walked up to her and eyed her up and down with disgust.
Emily knew everyone they invited to the party, and as far as she knew, someone as strange and eye-catching as this woman shouldn’t be at this important celebratory banquet of hers.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryIf she were a stranger who came to the banquet to scrounge a free meal, it would’ve been fine. However, this woman’s temperament and figure bore a huge resemblance to Janet’s, which Emily found truly annoying.
She felt so disgusted that it was as if she had eaten sh*t!
A look of disdain and contempt flashed across Emily’s face.
Janet sat on the sofa with no emotion in her eyes. Picking up the wine glass on the table, she gave it a gentle swirl. “So, you’re the contender for the champion of the World Piano Competition and the protagonist of tonight’s banquet, Miss Emily Jackson?”
Emily didn’t expect to be recognized so soon. It seemed like she had a pretty good reputation after all.
“That’s me! Who are you?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryUpon hearing this, Janet let out a light chuckle. In a monotonous voice, she answered, “I’m not some young lady. Someone brought me here.”
As soon as she said that, Emily frowned, and the disgust in her eyes became even more obvious.
Brought over by someone else? Haha. She’s just a piece of trash who came here to scrounge a meal, yet she put it in such a refined way. How shameful indeed!
Emily fluffed her hair, then warned, “So, you’re just here to eat and drink. In that case, know your place and don’t let your eyes linger for even a second on the eligible men. You might end up disappearing and no one would know about it.”
Hahaha. Besides getting a free meal, since she’s all dressed up like this, isn’t she also trying to hunt for rich and attractive men at this large banquet?
Emily was most familiar with this strategy!
Janet curled her lips and sneered, “Don’t worry. I don’t use the methods that you use, Miss Jackson.”
Her words were like a double-edged sword that was clearly meant as criticism toward Emily!
This angered Emily in an instant.
Her face contorted into a hideous expression. In a furious voice, she snapped, “Who brought you here? How dare you talk to me like this!”
How can she ridicule me even though she’s just here for the food? Is she asking for a fight?
With her wine glass in hand, Janet took a small sip, then said casually, “I managed to come here because I’m capable. As for who brought me here, you don’t need to look too much into that, Miss Jackson.”
“You!”
Today was an important moment for Emily, yet someone dared to speak to her like this.
This woman must be tired of living.
“It’s one thing to come here for food, but what right do you have to criticize me when you’re just a woman who warms the bed for men? Remember; this is the Jackson Family’s territory, and this is a banquet organized by us. If I find you distasteful, I can get you kicked out in minutes!” Emily spoke in a low voice so only the two of them could hear her clearly.
Janet simply laughed but didn’t speak. She continued sitting there, turning a deaf ear to Emily’s warnings.
At this moment, a female voice sounded from behind.
Emily turned her head and looked around before noticing that Megan was walking toward them. “Emily, the people from the music industry are coming soon. Get ready.”
Hearing this, Emily immediately plastered a smile on her face and said cheerfully, “I’m coming, Mom.”
She couldn’t let her mother find out that she was arguing with a stranger. Otherwise, Megan and Brian were sure to give her a scolding later.
At that, Emily quickly left the corner and walked in Megan’s direction.
Looking up, Janet glanced around and her pink lips curled up slightly, her raised eyebrows making her appear profound.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 848
Under Megan’s guidance, Emily successfully met the famous piano master in Sandfort City—Wesley Ford.
Upon Wesley’s arrival, the guests were collectively shocked.
They knew that Wesley refused every invitation he received. Even if it was an international event, he would find a suitable reason to decline the invitation. It was difficult to see him at huge events, but today, he actually made an appearance at the Jackson Family’s banquet. It signified just how much respect he showed Emily.
It seemed that rather than being a contender for the first place, Emily could directly be considered the champion.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe hadn’t even competed but everyone already predicted her to be the champion. Emily’s skills certainly weren’t comparable to others!
With the hem of her dress lifted, Emily walked up to Wesley and respectfully offered her hand. “Master Ford, thank you very much for coming to the Jackson Family’s banquet. Please take a seat at the VIP table.”
Wesley pushed up his glasses and smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s no hurry. I came here today to assess the skill level of the World Piano Competition’s winner.”
He wanted to see how well Mr. Hilbert had taught his students.
Emily pursed her lips, then said modestly, “Master Ford, you’re too kind. I still have a long way to go from being the champion! However, I’ll be playing the piano today. I hope that you can give me some comments after my performance.”
With that said, Wesley was naturally very happy. “All right. I’ll be waiting for your performance.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryEmily was all smiles as she stated firmly, “I’m sure I won’t let you down, Master.”
Wesley pushed his glasses up once more, then went to the VIP area and sat down.
After sitting down, he made a gesture and someone brought forth a huge object.
Wesley was smiling with anticipation. “This is a gift for you, Miss Jackson. I hope you’ll like it.”
As he spoke, the cloth covering it was gradually lifted.
When the cloth was fully lifted, every guest widened their eyes in shock.
D*mn!
The gift in question was a grand piano.
When everyone saw its brand and shape, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Isn’t this the piano that has been passed down in the Ford Family for generations?”
This piano had been passed down since ancient times. During Wesley’s generation, he did not continue to pass it down because none of his children undertook a career as a pianist, so it had remained in his possession all this while.
Now, to everyone’s surprise, Wesley was personally handing this precious piano over to Emily.
Does this mean that Master Ford believes Emily will be the winner? Does he think that Emily has the potential to become a part of the next generation of masters?
As these thoughts ran through the guests’ heads, they began to talk aloud.
“Tsk, tsk. Who would’ve thought that Master Ford would pass this piano down to Emily.”
“I know, right. What a surprise!”
“Although this time Emily is representing Yobril, she still has Sandfort City’s blood running through her veins. Master Ford sure is a knowing man.”
“Well, well. It seems like Emily’s skills can’t be underestimated.”
“This is a great thing! Regardless of whether Emily or Sandfort City’s representative wins, she would still be our city’s glory.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Emily has really made Sandfort City proud.”
Overwhelmed by all the compliments and comments, Emily was slightly stunned.
Everything that was happening felt as beautiful as a dream.
Master Ford is actually giving me his family piano? This is a dream come true!
Although she was shocked, she was even more surprised and elated.
Wesley saw that Emily was dazed and standing in place, so he assumed that she didn’t like his gift. He frowned and said, “Miss Jackson, is the gift not to your liking?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 849
Emily reacted immediately upon hearing this. She hurriedly said, “How could I not like it? I like it so much. Thank you for your support, Master Ford.”
Having been favored and gifted with such a generous present, Emily felt that all the suffering she endured in the past few months in Yobril was worthwhile.
It has certainly paid off! Now, it’s my time to shine. Hahahaha!
Megan, who was standing to one side, was deeply touched as well.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe didn’t expect that everyone would think so highly of Emily. This act made her feel a little bit more confident about the competition that was to be held a few days later.
At this moment, Brian walked toward Emily and said enthusiastically, “Another bigshot has arrived! Emily, hurry up and greet him with me!”
“Another bigshot?” Emily’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Who is it?”
“The top composer—Mr. Antonio Powell.”
The moment Brian said this, Emily froze.
Her shoes felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn’t seem to walk.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query
She was thrilled but her feet felt heavy, so she didn’t take a step forward.
Oh my God, I didn’t have high expectations for Antonio’s arrival, but I’m really going to meet him now! This is such a delightful surprise!
If she could invite even a top composer, it seemed like she would soon have a huge influence on Sandfort City and the entire music industry!
Seeing that Emily was motionless and seemingly daydreaming, Megan hastily tugged on her sleeve and urged, “Emily, hurry up and greet Mr. Powell with me.”
Emily was so happy that she had gotten a little loopy. She nodded repeatedly. “Okay. Let’s go meet Mr. Powell.” As soon as Emily said this, the guests couldn’t hold back their gasps.
Antonio Powell?
They managed to invite the top composer, Antonio Powell?
How lucky is Emily?
It seemed like she had already become the champion; she already had half a foot in the music industry.
In that case, Emily would be the first person in Sandfort City to be loved by the people in the music industry.
“Even Antonio is here. Emily is seriously amazing.”
“Oh my God. Since things are developing like this, do you think Emily will become the next Hilbert?”
“It’s not impossible. If she wins first place, I wonder which university will approach her first to hire her as a music professor!”
“Goodness me. Do you think the previous champions will turn up as well?”
“And Walter Lynn, the piano prince. He will show up to support Emily too, right?”
“There’s also Sweet Tune—the talented composer. If anything, I think she’ll attend the banquet too.”
Emily listened on as everyone discussed tonight’s prospective guests.
It sounded like casual remarks, but it signified another meaning to Emily.
Emily didn’t expect that the bigshots in the music industry held her with such high regard. This is so exciting!
She reckoned even Walter and Gordon didn’t receive this kind of treatment, let alone other people.
Although her song ‘borrowed’ a little bit of Sweet Tune’s composition, even the composer wasn’t treated like this either. Does this mean that she has lost to me? Hehe!
As she grew aware that she was standing on the stage in the limelight, Emily straightened her back.
When she moved, she acted with utmost grace and elegance. “Welcome, Mr. Powell.”
Antonio’s smile was like a kind breeze. “Congratulations for being selected to compete in this year’s World Piano Competition, Miss Jackson. I’m here today for the same reason as Master Ford, which is to witness the strength of the champion candidate.”
Emily nodded. “Of course. When everyone is here, I’ll immediately play a song on Master Ford’s piano.”
Antonio nodded in response and sat down in his designated seat.

After sitting down, Antonio spoke slowly. “I brought a small gift for you, Miss Jackson. I hope you won’t dislike it.”
With that said, he hurriedly asked someone to bring something for her.
It wasn’t big, so the cloth used to cover the object wasn’t large either.
Antonio got up and stepped forward to slowly uncover the present.

When the gift was revealed, the guests were shocked once again.
What on earth?
The speakers were designed in Spain. Not only did it look magnificent, but it was also very practical. What’s more, Emily’s name was engraved on it. It would be perfect to be used during the competition.
Antonio had indeed thought this through!
Emily was slightly overjoyed, and she couldn’t conceal the smile on her face. “Thank you, Master Powell, for your blessing. I will certainly work harder knowing that I have your support.”

There was now another talent in Sandfort City!
If nothing unexpected happens, this year’s champion would undoubtedly be Emily.
It seems that Hilbert is doing a great job at nurturing new talents!
The grin on Emily’s face grew wider by the second, and her previously downcast mood disappeared with everyone’s flattering remarks.
She had been cast aside for so long. Now, she was finally making a name for herself.
Her hard work from the past few months had not been in vain after all!
If Janet saw how dazzling of a moment I’m having now, she would definitely be so angry that her lungs would hurt!
Hehehe. It would be best if I could p*ss her off!
She could avoid dealing with such an eyesore in the future.
At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.
Then, they saw an usher running from the corner toward Emily and Megan. With great excitement, he announced, “The three major families of Sandfort City are here!”
At this, the guests who had been shocked to the core by Wesley and Antonio’s arrival couldn’t resist sucking in a breath.
Everyone at the banquet was completely shaken.
What is going on today?
Wesley and Antonio’s arrivals were shocking enough, but how did Emily manage to invite all three major families of Sandfort City?
The last time the three major families made a collective appearance was during Mason’s 26th birthday party. So… why are they here at an event like this?
This is just a celebratory banquet. Are the Jacksons so highly respected that even the three most popular young masters in Sandfort City can be called upon?
It’s unbelievable.
Megan and Brian didn’t expect that they would turn up too, as they had only sent the invitation as a symbolic gesture!
This news not only amazed the guests but also left the two of them dumbfounded.
Emily was so stunned that she didn’t know how to react.
She was frozen in place, and her hands and feet were ice-cold!
All three of Sandfort City’s most popular young masters were here at her party.
It can’t be. Am I dreaming? Young Master Sanders, Young Master Moss, and Young Master Mason are all here! Why did they come? Could it be…
Emily began to blush.
Could it be that they’re all attracted to me? That’s impossible. Am I going to be pursued by all three young masters in Sandfort City? Oh my God. This is unlike anything I’ve ever imagined before! How did it turn out like this?
At first, Emily was highly suspicious, but after giving it some further thought, she figured that it wasn’t impossible.
After all, the three young masters weren’t married yet. They were nobles, so they had to be looking for a well-bred young lady who had a full range of talents, and she just so happened to meet those standards. So, it was understandable for her to have caught their attention.
