Ch. 861..870
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 861
It was not just about Janet’s reputation but that of the entire Lowry Family.
Henry was already regretting how he instigated her to go on stage a minute ago.
Mason pursed his lips and did not respond. His dark eyes remained fixed on the outstretched hands of the woman who was on stage.
When Emily heard Henry’s words, a look of ridicule and contempt flickered across her eyes. She snickered to herself. It doesn’t matter that J’Adore has never been taught by Hilbert before because even if she has, she won’t necessarily be better than me.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWith that thought in mind, however, she still looked intently at the stage.
Janet drew in a deep breath. With a relaxed expression, she pulled out the piano stool and sat down.
Her fair and slender fingers landed on the black and white keys.
Each tone she played was extremely moving.
Her eyes were slightly closed as her lively fingers danced endlessly along with the black and white keys.
When she reached the climax, her body also moved along to the music.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryEach note was so precise that there was no indication of a missed beat.
Henry gasped as he watched her from the back. That silhouette… Isn’t this the person I’ve longed for all day and night?
Soon after, his breathing became rushed. He tugged at Mason’s hand and stressed, “Young Master Mason, Janet looks so similar to the person in my heart.”
Mason furrowed his brows slightly. His cold voice carried some dissatisfaction as he asked, “What did you say?”
Henry was so fascinated that he was not thinking straight. He explained, “I’m talking about Sweet Tune; the person in my heart.”
“Say that one more time.”
Mason’s voice grew even colder and made Henry pause for a few seconds. When he finally came around again, he quickly shut his mouth.
Am I not allowed to say that Janet looks like the person in my heart? What the h*ll? Just drown in a pool of jealousy.
Once the song came to an end, Janet slowly stood up.
Then, thunderous applause from the audience followed.
That round of applause was even more intense than the one Emily received.
As for the reason behind it, Emily was well aware herself.
Standing at the bottom of the stage, she had her fists clenched tightly together and was biting down hard on her lip. Her facial expression showed that she was extremely embarrassed.
Even though she had never heard of the piece that J’Adore played before, the entire piano piece was filled with emotions, and her technique was exemplary.
Compared to Emily, J’Adore looked more like a professional pianist.
Moreover, the reactions of the guests depicted that very well.
“F*ck. I’ve never heard of this piece before.”
“Don’t tell me it’s an original?”
“That can’t be. Does J’Adore know how to compose music as well?”
“Hmm. Could she have received formal guidance in piano before?”
“Emily does seem a bit inferior to J’Adore now.”
“Who would win if J’Adore also took part in the upcoming World Piano Competition?”
“Who knows?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. This is nerve-racking!”
The moment Emily heard that she was inferior to J’Adore, she almost burst with anger. How can J’Adore’s skills be better than mine? Could she have plagiarized someone else’s work too?
While she had those thoughts in mind, a clear and calm voice suddenly came from the stage. “Master Ford, Master Powell, what did you think of my performance?”
Her question hung in the air for a while, but she did not get an answer in return.
At that, Emily felt a surge of joy and immediately turned around to look at Wesley and Antonio.
When she did, however, she quickly became flustered to find that they were gaping at J’Adore in shock.
They didn’t look this moved when I played my piano piece. Why do they look so moved by J’Adore’s piano piece? Why? Do they also think that J’Adore is more skilled than I am?
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 862
That can’t happen!
Both Wesley and Antonio were at a loss for better words to compliment J’Adore with, but alas, they could only clap for her and shower her with praises. “Miss J’Adore, the piano piece you played was just wonderful! Simply wonderful!”
“Are you sure?” Janet raised her brows and sought further evaluation. “Isn’t there something I can improve on?”
What more did she have to improve?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe was already at the highest standard, but she wanted to improve even further?
Wesley and Antonio could not lie through their teeth, so they said blatantly, “Miss J’Adore, if someone tells you to give up on playing the piano, you must not believe them; that person definitely has animosity toward you.”
Both of them were amazed.
It had been a long time since they last saw someone so gifted at the piano.
The more they spoke, the more Emily’s fists tightened. She even grew numb to the pain of her nails digging into her skin. Are they complimenting her? Why? Why is she getting better compliments than me?
Noticing Emily’s small pale face, Janet smiled and asked, “What about you, Miss Emily? What did you think of my performance?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryEmily clenched her hands tightly and bit down hard on her lip. Is she trying to humiliate me in front of everyone? Did she really ask me to evaluate her? Does she want to watch me lose?
When the audience saw that Emily was quiet for a long time, they started to tease.
“Look at that. Even Emily is shocked by J’Adore’s performance.”
“Of course. Someone with Emily’s level can definitely tell how good J’Adore was.”
“Yes. After all, only a strong candidate can evaluate her performance.”
All their remarks went back to Emily. Since everyone had already acknowledged J’Adore’s skills, Emily could not talk bad about her now. Thus, she bit the bullet, clenched her fists, and said, “Miss J’Adore’s performance was excellent. It put me to shame!” Even though she had spoken the truth, she said it very reluctantly.
She did not want to admit that she had lost to an amateur.
Still, those were thoughts that she could only keep hidden within her.
Upon receiving a response, Janet smirked and started to get down from the stage. All of a sudden, Wesley spoke again. “Miss J’Adore, may I know who you learned the piano from?”
He was really eager to find out who had nurtured such a talent!
On the other hand, Janet hesitated for a few seconds and remained silent.
“Is it the golden composer, Sweet Tune?” Antonio blinked. He was just as curious.
The thought occurred to him when he got the impression that her music style was very similar to Sweet Tune’s while she was performing on stage earlier.
He heard of a student called Roxy whom Sweet Tune had mentored, but he did not know whether J’Adore was also her student.
Hearing the name ‘Sweet Tune’, Janet shook her head with a smile. “No.”
“I see.” Feeling slightly disheartened, Wesley and Antonio both lowered their gazes.
What is this piece called? Can you tell us?” Wesley asked again.
Janet fell into a bit of a bind when she was confronted with that question. She chuckled awkwardly and said, “Because I improvised that piece, it doesn’t have a name yet.”
Everyone was stunned by what they heard.
“What? She improvised this performance?”
“That’s not possible. How could she have played this well in an improvised performance?”
“Where did this piano prodigy come from? I’m falling in love.”
“If she’s that brilliant, she should just participate in the World Piano Competition and settle this with Emily once and for all!”
“Yes. Emily is the representative of Yobril, so J’Adore should represent Sandfort City in the competition!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 863
“F*ck. Then who do you guys think will be the champion this time?”
“Are you a fool? How can you still ask a question like that? An improvised performance is definitely better than one that was rehearsed.”
“Exactly! An improvised performance only shows how much more capable that person is!”
The guests’ comments fell into Emily’s ears and buzzed in her mind ceaselessly.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHer face had grown pale and lost the arrogance it carried earlier.
It was only when she sensed the strong taste of blood in her mouth that she slowly released her lip. How… How did this happen? Didn’t J’Adore claim that her piano skills were ordinary? Didn’t she say she couldn’t beat me? But why do Master Ford, Master Powell, and a majority of the guests think that she’s better than me? They’re even urging her to join the upcoming World Piano Competition! How did this happen?
Aside from feeling uneasy, she was also instilled with deep regret. She was the one who personally put J’Adore in the spotlight on stage.
Not only did people think that J’Adore was more skilled than her, but they were also predicting that she had a higher chance of being the champion than Emily did.
I can’t let her win. I can’t! If J’Adore becomes the champion, then I’ll become the biggest laughing stock in Sandfort City! Furthermore, she had to win this competition if she wanted to contend with Janet. Who knows? Janet might be waiting to laugh at me during the live television broadcast right now. She could not just watch the title of champion slip through her fingers when it was already in her hands! I won’t allow something like that to happen! I will never allow it!
Emily glared at the woman on stage as if she was about to pierce right through her. She mulled, J’Adore, how can you be so low to try to snatch the title of champion away from me?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryMeanwhile, Wesley and Antonio seemed to be in complete shock from witnessing J’Adore’s talent.
Wesley inquired excitedly, “Miss J’Adore, would you consider joining the upcoming World Piano Competition?”
If I join the competition, even ten clones of Emily could not beat me. Nonetheless, Janet could not say that aloud at Emily’s celebration banquet. It would be too undermining otherwise!
Antonio also agreed, “Yes. If you’re unsure of the registration process, I will ask the people at the Music Association to recommend you.”
“Me?” Janet blinked at them nonchalantly.
Wesley and Antonio nodded. “Yes, even though being a mere champion is nothing to a big figure like you, the value of being the World Piano Competition’s champion is really high. You will be recognized on the international platform all around the world. There’s no harm to it.”
Janet raised her brows as she listened. Her eyes wandered off to the side where she found Emily with clenched fists and a pale face. She was biting her lips as if she was extremely nervous to hear her answer.
Emily’s nervous expression, however, sparked Janet’s interest. In a careless manner, she said, “I don’t know. I’ll think about it again when the time comes.”
Below the stage, Emily almost blew up with rage when she heard Janet’s answer.
When the time comes? What does that even mean? It’s a yes or no question. What is with this ambiguous answer? Is she trying to keep me in suspense on purpose? J’Adore, you wench! You’re pure evil!
Emily felt remorseful now more than ever for urging J’Adore to go on stage earlier.
If she hadn’t done so, everyone’s attention would still be on her now.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 864
But now, it seemed like no one could be bothered to look at Emily. She had fully grasped the situation. This is all part of that wench, J’Adore’s, plan. She even wanted to seek the limelight at such an exclusive banquet. She and Janet are truly part of the same breed!
“Okay. If you want to join the competition, Miss J’Adore, please feel free to contact me anytime.” As Wesley spoke, he handed her his name card.
Lowering her eyes to look at it, Janet accepted the card politely and murmured, “Okay.”
Emily clenched her fists tightly and glared at that name card. During the remainder of the banquet, Emily felt unsettled. She wanted to muster up her courage and confront J’Adore. But if she were to act hastily now, J’Adore would think she was being a coward. It seemed like she could not do anything right at this moment. Thus, it put her in a state of agony. Pinching herself harshly, she thought, It’s all my fault for making that wench perform!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWith the name card in her hand, Janet returned to her seat. “Babe, your piano skills are even better than I imagined,” Mason remarked unhappily when he saw the name card in her hand.
She smiled. “You flatter me, Mr. Lowry.” After she said that, she wanted to put the name card away, but before it even reached her purse, he suddenly grabbed her hand.
Taken aback, she looked up and chuckled at him. “What are you doing?” She shot him a sidelong glance and finished opening her purse to put the card inside. “I can’t throw away Master Ford’s name card in front of everyone now, can I? That’s so disrespectful!”
His brows were still furrowed together as he muttered, “Are you really going to join the competition, babe?” She had to go to Yobril for the competition. If she really went there, he wouldn’t be able to see her for a long time.
“Take a guess!” She winked at him playfully and removed his naughty hand from her waist. “What are you doing?”
He laughed at the absurdity of the situation. At the moment, he wanted to press her down and spank her buttocks ruthlessly.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryDuring the banquet, Henry and Lee looked like they were discussing something. Several wealthy families also approached Mason to try to strike up a conversation with him, but he maintained a cold and hostile demeanor.
While Janet was sitting in the VIP section, she felt rather helpless from having Emily’s fierce glare pinned on her. Emily was supposed to be in the limelight tonight, but the attention shifted onto Janet since she appeared. It was no wonder Emily was looking at her that way.
Janet scoffed. I guess she has nothing better to do. Letting out a sigh, she said, “I’m going to the restroom. I’ll be back in a bit.”
Mason nodded. Before she left, he even slapped her on her bottom and gave a vague smile. “Go quickly. Don’t hold it in for too long.”
At that, she was speechless. Pervert!
Watching Janet go out, Emily also followed along discreetly. She wanted a definite answer on whether J’Adore was going to join the competition or not. If this wench is actually going to join the competition, it’s over for me!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 865
Emily stood and waited quietly by the sink.
When Janet came out of the stall, Emily stole a peek at her.
Janet noticed her sneaky behavior right away and got straight to the point. “Tell me. What is it?”
Her clear and calm voice slowly entered Emily’s ears, giving rise to a tidal wave in her chest.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryEmily grasped her skirt tightly. A strange emotion flickered across her eyes before she asked, “J’Adore, are you going to… Yobril to take part in the upcoming World Piano Competition?”
Hmm?” Janet intentionally acted ignorant.
Emily was put in a tight spot. After all, asking Janet if she was going to be her rival was just humiliating.
Nonetheless, for the sake of her future, she still pressed on. “Am I not making myself clear enough? I asked if you were going to take part in the upcoming World Piano Competition!”
By the time Emily finished speaking, Janet was amused. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll take part in it, Miss Emily? Skills like mine won’t create much of a problem for you, would it?” Wasn’t she confident that she could be the champion with plagiarized work before? Why is she being so cowardly now? She scoffed. She is too brazen. How dare she perform my work at this large banquet and even claim it as her own? If she is able to play a plagiarized piano piece here, is she going to play my music during the competition too?
“Miss J’Adore, you’re mistaken! I wanted to tell you that if you were going to join, we could go together. Besides, I’ve lived in Yobril for three to four months now, so I am familiar with the place. We’ll have each other if we go together.” Emily smiled. The corners of her mouth were extremely rigid.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet chuckled and said carelessly, “I think you’re worrying too much, Miss Emily. If I really participate in this competition, I will take my own private jet there. I also have people in Yobril, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
With that, she turned around to leave.
Emily’s small delicate face turned pale.
She tightened her grasp on her skirt and steadied herself as she called out to Janet’s back, “Okay. I got it.”
When Janet did not even look back at her, she felt like she had just been severely humiliated.
As the second Young Miss of the Jackson Family and Hilbert’s only recognized student, did she have to endure being treated this way?
J’Adore only dares to treat me this way because she has a big family, a big business, and Mason’s affection. Isn’t that right?
Who would have thought that Emily’s lofty dignity would be trampled on by a Janet?
With her fists clenched tightly, she stomped her foot in anger.
After she returned to the banquet hall, she remained absent-minded for most of the time. After being overjoyed during the first half of the evening, she could not even force herself to feel excited about the latter half.
Megan and Brian seemed to have noticed and asked, “Emily, why do you look so distracted tonight? Do you feel unwell?”
“Is it because of J’Adore’s performance earlier?”
Emily bit her lip out of embarrassment. “Mommy, what if J’Adore really joins the competition?”
Megan and Brian looked baffled for a moment.
It was hard to say because Wesley and Antonio gave her a high evaluation after her performance. It was praise that even Emily did not receive. Therefore, if J’Adore really joined the World Piano Competition, the title of champion might not fall into Emily’s hands.
When Emily saw the hesitation on her parents’ faces, her small face immediately crinkled and looked even worse than a pickled cucumber.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 866
“Mommy, if I had known, I wouldn’t have let J’Adore come here.” If Emily had known, she wouldn’t have let Megan invite the Lowry Family.
She was being ruined by that wench, J’Adore.
If Emily couldn’t win this competition, she would rather just die.
“Um…” Megan and Brian looked at each other then said, “Emily, don’t panic. J’Adore is well-known in Markovia. She is also the future Lady of the Lowry Family. She already has a lot of things on her plate. Where would she find the time to join a competition?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Your mom is right. If you’re still worried, you can talk to Master Ford and Master Powell after the banquet.”
As Megan and Brian consoled her, Emily started to calm down from her panicked state. It was true; someone as busy as J’Adore would not necessarily have the time to join a competition. She might have just said those things to scare me on purpose! She scoffed. She’s so low to try to shake up my mind a few days before the competition. If I hadn’t been smart enough, I would have fallen for it!
With those thoughts in mind, she finally felt at ease.
Once the banquet ended, Wesley and Antonio quickly made their way toward Janet and Mason.
“Miss J’Adore, have you come to a decision about joining the World Piano Competition?”
Wesley was also distracted throughout the evening. He really wanted to retain this talented girl in the piano industry.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet looked up at Mason before she said in a low voice, “Master Ford, I haven’t decided yet. If I plan on joining, I will contact you. If you don’t hear from me, then that means I won’t be joining.”
“Well…” A look of disappointment and desolation flickered across his eyes. “Okay then. If you don’t want to, we won’t want to force you either. But we’ll still wait to hear good news from you for the time being.”
Janet replied, “Okay.”
After that, Mason wrapped an arm around her slim waist and slowly brought her toward the exit.
Watching the two of them leave from behind, Wesley and Antonio let out a sigh. They knew that if she wanted to join the competition, she would have agreed to it already. Judging by her current response, however, it did not seem like she was going to join.
On the other hand, they did not know why she did not give a flat rejection but left an ambiguous answer for them instead.
As Emily watched Mason and J’Adore leave, her hands naturally curled into fists.
Although Megan and Brian had consoled her earlier, she still wanted a definite answer.
Her refusal to accept the current situation showed in her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked toward Wesley and Antonio. She mustered up her courage and said, “Hello, Master Ford, Master Powell.”
They were taken aback by her sudden appearance.
A few seconds later, they were both smiling professionally. “What’s the matter, Miss Emily?”
Her dainty hands were grasping onto her skirt, and she had an unnatural expression on her face. “Master Ford, Master Powell, I wanted to ask; did Miss J’Adore register for the World Piano Competition?”
“Um…” Wesley and Antonio looked at each other; they were unsure of how to explain. They could only repeat J’Adore’s words truthfully. “Miss J’Adore says she’s still unsure. If she decides to participate, she will give us a call. On the other hand, if she doesn’t call us, then she won’t be participating.”
“Again?” Emily murmured to herself unhappily. Why is it always the same answer? Why isn’t J’Adore willing to give a definite answer? Does she have to keep me in this anxious state?
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 867
I’m so sick of this!
Emily’s response left Wesley and Antonio confused.
Pushing up his glasses, Wesley reassured, “You don’t have to worry, Miss Emily. Just stick to what you’ve been doing.”
Antonio also consoled, “Yes. Even if Miss J’Adore joins the competition, she won’t necessarily win.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThey were only saying those words to comfort her because they were at her banquet tonight. In their minds, however, there was only one true champion.
Nevertheless, Emily remained oblivious.
Even after J’Adore had trampled all over her confidence, she was still able to bring it back to life.
Since the two masters said so themselves, I can’t be too modest either! Who knows? Maybe J’Adore’s performance on stage earlier was just a stroke of luck. The winner of the big competition is still not determined yet. She laughed. The masters can spot talent when they see it!
At the Lowry Residence, Janet had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
Mason was sitting on the edge of the bed. He patted the space next to him and ordered, “Come here!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryKnowing that he had bad intentions, she did not go over and instead snapped at him, “What do you want?”
She did not stop drying her wet hair as she spoke.
Enraged, he pulled her over at once and put his big thigh over her fair, slender ones to hold her down. “I told you I was going to deal with you when we got home.”
Janet laughed out of anger. In an innocent and pitiful tone, she retorted, “Deal with me? What did I do wrong?”
“I just want to deal with you.” He wrapped his arms around her thin waist like a scoundrel.
She put the towel in his palms and ordered, “Dry my hair right now. If it’s not dry, I’ll be the one to deal with you.”
After he took the towel from her, however, he did not have any intention of wiping her hair and simply pressed her down beneath him. “Tell me. Are you going to join the World Piano Competition?”
She bit her lip as if she was extremely torn. “If I go, are you going to come along?”
That expression worked quite well on him. Leaning his head to one side, he gently kissed her earlobe.
The moment his cool lips touched her hot ears, she trembled all over.
“Of course. I have to give my wife full support.” His deep and attractive voice slowly entered her ears. “On one condition. When you perform on stage, you’re not allowed to wear anything that exposes your chest, back, or waist.”
She looked at him in bewilderment. “What do I wear then?”
Does a dress like that even exist?
While all the candidates were dressed up beautifully on the day of the competition, was it appropriate for her to go on stage with a big padded jacket?
Did he really want people to laugh at her?
Mason reached out to brush away the wispy hair on her forehead. “On the day itself, the competition will be broadcasted live across the globe. Do you understand?”
He did not want men around the world to covet his woman!
A strong possessiveness infiltrated his alluring eyes.
Moreover, his insistent tone made it hard for her to refuse.
She did not know whether to cry or to laugh, but she also felt slightly helpless. “Don’t worry. Emily will definitely look like a goddess that day.” Everyone’s attention would be on Emily. Who would even notice me? I’d be transparent!
Mason did not answer her.
By the end of it, he still did not feel settled.
Jan is able to renew my perception each time. Sometimes he wondered how an extraordinary woman like her had fallen in love with him. Is it my looks? But, she’s not that shallow of a person. Personality? I don’t think there’s anything special about that either.
The possessiveness he kept suppressed this whole time exploded in an instant.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 868
Leaning his head to one side, Mason slowly spoke into Janet’s ear. “Babe, do you want me?”
A look of shock flashed across her eyes. She tilted her head and asked, “Do you know what you’re saying?”
“I’m very alert, Babe. So, do you want me or not?” His voice was still low with a hint of forbearance.
“No, no. You still have a collaboration meeting tomorrow morning.” She knew that he had an important collaboration meeting the next day.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryOnce they started, it would go on for the whole night and cause too much of a hindrance.
Hearing those words, he laughed and started to unbuckle his belt.
He told her once before that for her, he would give up a collaboration worth hundreds of millions, and even the entire Lowry Family Conglomerate as well as all his wealth and power.
He only wanted her!
Right now, he felt a need to repeat those words.
“Babe, I told you. For you, a collaboration worth hundreds of millions is nothing,” he coaxed. His voice became even more soft and gentle as his cold lips brushed across her cheek.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAny woman would have been touched by those words. Furthermore, since she liked him, it was impossible to deny the temptation.
Finally, she nodded. “I want you.”
She spoke lightly, but the weight of her words felt heavier than a ton to him.
While he was looking at the waves of emotions in her eyes and hearing the sound of her heart beating, he felt like he was being controlled by something intangible.
But, he was more than willing to yield to her control.
He wanted to keep looking at her that way.
It was the first time he had liked someone without considering the consequences.
Reaching out to cradle her cool cheek with his hot hand, he stared at her starry eyes and chuckled. “You’re such a naughty girl.” What spell did you put me under?
Deep into the night, the moonlight peeked through the sheer curtains and shone against the woman on the big black bed.
Her tranquil and sweet face looked alluring and content.
Those swollen pink lips had been ravaged by him.
At that moment, neither of them was aware that the trending searches on Twitter were all about the banquet tonight.
‘The true appearance of the future Lady of the Lowry Family.’
‘Holy sh*t. No wonder she keeps a mask on all the time. Who knew she looked like this?’
‘Tsk, tsk, tsk. She’s just average-looking.’
‘I just feel like her face does not match the presence she carries.’
‘I agree. I don’t know why but something feels wrong about this.’
‘How did Young Master Mason fall for someone so ordinary?’
In terms of appearance, J’Adore did not look very beautiful. Moreover, compared to Mason’s perfect features, she fell even further behind.
Thus, people started to become envious.
‘Tsk, tsk, tsk. Based purely on looks, J’Adore is just not a good fit for Young Master Mason.’
‘Exactly. I won’t be supporting this couple anymore. There’s no point.’
‘I can’t support them now either. I’d rather support the ‘Jason’ couple. At least, Janet is a hundred times more attractive than J’Adore!’
‘Yes. Janet, my goddess, is the most beautiful woman in all of Sandfort City.’
If there were people who focused on her appearance, there were also people who focused on her talent.
The people who were in favor of her talent could not accept such criticism.
‘Why isn’t J’Adore a good fit for him? She might look a little ordinary, but how many people in Sandfort City have her qualities?’
‘That’s my point! At least J’Adore is talented in every aspect; even her piano skills are better than expected.’
‘I agree. Some people are just jealous. Come and challenge us if you’re unhappy!’
‘No matter what, I will always support the original ‘Madore’ couple.’
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 869
‘Jason’s antis, f*ck off!’
‘That’s right! They’ll always be the official couple!’
‘If you want to talk about talent, Janet is Master Nato, and she’s Rose as well. Now that she has become the youngest chairman of the Writers Association in history, why do you think she’s still no better than J’Adore?’
Alas, Jason’s shippers and Madore’s shippers ended up arguing online over such a trivial matter. Initially, the hashtags of both fandoms had hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter. However, they quickly grew to more than a million followers as the argument continued.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThese hot topics put the Lowry Family Conglomerate’s public relations department in a difficult position.
What’s going on with these Jason and Madore shippers? Aren’t they both the same future lady of the Lowry Family? How are we supposed to handle this situation? If the Lowry Family Conglomerate supports Jason, the antis will be calling Young Master Mason a scumbag! But, if we support Madore, won’t they go after Janet? But, she’s the future lady of the family! How can we do that to her?
In the end, the public relations department decided to give up and let the argument fester.
The next day, news of the World Piano Competition tickets going on sale spread across the campus. Although the competition took place in Yobril and each ticket cost up to ten thousand, no one could resist their passion for music. Some people had taken the Saturday off in advance so that they could fly to Yobril in time to watch the competition. Nonetheless, there were still people who were waiting to buy the tickets.
Many were looking forward to the competition, especially after Emily performed the song ‘Relentless Glimmer’ at the banquet the night before. Fascinating the audience with her performance, Emily had managed to earn the most public support. Even though the audience only watched it through the screen, they still felt as if they were truly there in person.
“Did you guys watch the live broadcast of the Jackson Family’s banquet last night? Emily was such a good pianist that even Wesley and Antonio kept praising her performance.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“I did. She’s really good. But, I think she’s still incomparable to J’Adore.”
“What? J’Adore also performed last night?”
Most of them had turned off the live broadcast after Emily’s performance. For that reason, they didn’t know J’Adore also performed on stage last night.
“Of course. Wesley and Antonio said if J’Adore were to compete in the competition, the odds of her winning the competition would be very high.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Seriously? J’Adore is too versatile.”
“How can such a young girl like her be so talented?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I’m impressed. I have to watch the replay.”
At that point, the one who had watched the live broadcast came forward and said, “J’Adore is pretty good too. But, she looks average.”
“Average? What do you mean?”
“I felt weird seeing her standing with Young Master Mason. They don’t look good together. It just doesn’t feel right. Her aura and her appearance don’t go well together. She looks a little off.”
“That’s right. I watched the live broadcast too. Young Master Mason looked better when he stood beside Janet compared to J’Adore.”
“Yeah. Don’t you remember how good Janet and Young Master Mason were when they stood together in military uniforms?”
“You guys are bold. How dare you talk about J’Adore like that. Just wait until you end up like Rebecca.”
“Forget it. No more talking about that. We should try harder to snatch tickets.”
The moment Janet stepped into the classroom, she knew something was off. Her classmates, who usually enjoyed gossip, were as quiet as a mouse as they sat with their heads ducked down. Shortly after she took her seat, some quickly gathered around her. Janet was immediately stunned by their actions.

Excitedly, one of them took out the tickets and placed them in front of Janet. She said, “Rose, oh no! Janet, these are the tickets to the World Piano Competition. I got them for you.”
Upon hearing that, Janet frowned, though she was surprised at the same time.
When the rest of the class saw that, they were jealous.
“What the hell! How did you get the tickets to the competition? Where did you buy them? I want one too!”

“Damn it! Give me one. I’ll pay you a hundred thousand.”
The one who gave Janet the tickets smiled and said, “I’m not selling them. These are specially bought for my idol, Rose.” She went through a lot of trouble to get those from her father, so naturally, she wanted to give them to her favorite person.
As soon as she said that, the other students were overwhelmed by disappointment. They were envious!
Right at the time when everyone was jealous of Janet, Hazel swaggered into the classroom and said disdainfully, “Is it so rare to own a ticket?” It’s just a ticket. Why do they look like they’ve never seen the world? After she said that, she took out some tickets from her school bag and put them on the table. Upon closer inspection, there were seven to eight pieces of them there.
Immediately, the crowd was stunned. Their gazes were fixated on the tickets on Hazel’s table. “Hazel, where did you get these tickets?”

“Is that true?” Some of the students were blinking in surprise. “Are these from the organizer?”
Hazel flipped her hair, and disdain was visible in her eyes. “Of course.” Even if she wasn’t the contestant, with her brother’s connections, she could also get her hands on the tickets. Noticing the envious gazes from her classmates, she chuckled and pushed the tickets toward them. “Enough. You can take them if you want.” After all, it would be better to have more people who went to watch her performance!
The students didn’t expect Hazel to be so generous. One of them couldn’t help but ask, “Are you serious?”
Hazel raised an eyebrow at the person. “Why not?” I’m the little princess of Yobril’s National Council. Why would I lie?
At her remarks, the students happily took the tickets then tightly held on to them—afraid that Hazel would want them back. Seeing their actions, Hazel shook her head helplessly. Huh, how naïve!
At this moment, Nina walked into the class and tapped the podium. “What’s going on? You guys have been flooding my mailbox with leave requests.” Nina knew Hazel needed to take part in the competition held in Yobril. Yet, she didn’t understand why the rest of the class was so excited. Aren’t the classes going on as usual? Moreover, the World Piano Competition would be broadcasted live on TV around the world. One could catch the competition live even in Sandfort City. Don’t they have something better to do other than flying all the way to Yobril? Right away, anger made a rare appearance on her face. “Except for Miss Hazel, the rest of the class must remain on campus. I’m not going to approve your leave requests.”
Janet, who was sitting in her seat, was puzzled. Although she wanted to say something, she ended up swallowing back her words.
After warning the class, Nina turned around and looked at Janet. She asked, “Janet, tell me. Did you ask for leave because you want to visit Yobril too?”
Janet hesitated for a few seconds before she nodded.
“Is it because of the World Piano Competition?”
Janet nodded again.
Her reply put Nina in a difficult position. Still, she let out a cough and said, “Fine. Email me how long you want to take leave for.”
