Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 891
Henry rubbed his eyes aggrievedly. How can you force me to listen? “To be honest, there’s no need for Janet to compete anymore, right? The winner will surely be my idol’s apprentice,” he said with certainty.
Lee smiled. Even his eyes had a slight smile in them. “That might not be necessarily true.”
Henry snorted and absent-mindedly replied, “Yeah; yeah. You know everything, Young Master Sanders. Didn’t you say that you’re also Janet’s apprentice? Why don’t you talk—”
Before the words ‘her out of this’ could come out of his mouth, he suddenly widened his eyes and quickly turned his gaze to the stage. When he saw the young girl on the stage, he jumped out of his seat and exclaimed in shock, “F*ck!” Am I hallucinating right now? What’s going on with Janet?! Is she the one playing this song?! Are you sure it’s not dubbed?! He was completely dumbfounded. Turning his head around mechanically, he asked, “Young Master Mason, am I hallucinating?” I must be dreaming!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWhen Lee heard the question, he turned around and viciously stamped his foot down on Henry’s foot, leaving a perfect footprint on Henry’s black leather shoes.
Henry was in so much pain that he immediately became wide awake. However, the melodious music continued to play. The pain in his leg convinced him that what he was seeing and hearing was neither a hallucination nor a dream. This is really happening! It turns out that Janet really does know how to play the piano! What’s more terrifying is that… she plays even better than my idol’s apprentice! What a slap in the face!
Concurrently, the audience that had been dozing off snapped awake in surprise too. The scene before them and what they heard almost felt as if they were in a dream. Isn’t Janet an author? Why does she know how to play the piano? Moreover, her song flows smoother and sounds better than Emily’s! They shook their heads while watching the performance with an expression of disbelief.
Meanwhile, Megan and Brian had stiff expressions. Their hands were tightly gripping each other. Megan wanted to say something, but she felt as if something was stuck in her throat and preventing her from speaking.
Similarly, everybody was also so shocked by Janet’s entire performance that they couldn’t speak, whether they were an audience member or the other contestants waiting backstage. The entire venue was enveloped in complete silence! They finally recovered from their shock after a while. Following that, earthshaking screams poured out from the audience.
“F*ck! It wasn’t a hallucination after all!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“What just happened?! Why is Janet’s song even better than Emily’s?! What’s more, it sounds smoother too!”
“Damn. Could Janet also be Sweet Tune’s apprentice?”
“But, Sweet Tune only has one apprentice, which is Roxy!”
“Fck! Fck! F*ck! I don’t believe it! It must have been dubbed!”
“No way! How can there be dubbing during a live performance at a competition?! Just how powerful are the people backing her?!”
Meanwhile, all the others backstage were staring fixedly at the screen in front of them, except for Roxy. Time ticked by slowly; it took them a full 30 seconds to react. The contestants were wide-eyed in astonishment. “No way… Janet knows how to play the piano?”
“That’s impossible! But, that music quality doesn’t sound like it was dubbed.”
“That’s right. You can’t achieve such effects through dubbing!”
“F*ck! Doesn’t that mean that she really knows how to play the piano?! Just who on earth did she learn from?!”
The song performed by Janet was peppered with various musical ornaments to embellish the melody. If one did not have an incredible familiarity with the piano, as well as at least ten years of experience in playing the piano, one would not be able to pull off such an effect. Moreover, the theme of this song was very prominent and every note was on point—some notes sounded like the trilling of birds; some notes sounded like the cheerful bubbling of a creek; some notes sounded like the galloping of horses; and some notes sounded like the dancing spring breeze. These countless styles were harmoniously bound together and vividly brought out to their fullest in a single song!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 892
Due to the requirement of having at least ten years of experience in playing the piano, as well as the ever-changing styles in the song, everybody had a hard time believing that Janet was the one performing the song. Moreover, she played the song so vividly that they even wondered if she was a certain piano master. If so, that piano master would surely be an incredibly famous person!
On the other hand, Emily swallowed with some difficulty. Her heart was pounding wildly in her heart. She even felt a sense of despair for some inexplicable reason! How can this be… This is impossible! It must be fake! Even if Janet learned the piano from Walter, she could not have reached this level of skill. The level of skill she is displaying is several times better than Walter’s! To be precise, this level of skill is unparalleled in Sandfort City! She clenched her fists tightly, her complexion turning pale. Bitterly biting her lips, she felt extremely resentful!
“If this is really Janet’s level of skill, then there’s no point in continuing this competition anymore. She is clearly the winner!” one of the contestants said, stepping forward. Those words were reasonable! Even Emily’s high score of 99.8 points was nothing compared to Janet’s performance!
Emily glanced at the rest of the gawking contestants. Then, she said with red eyes, “The song isn’t over yet. We can’t tell how good it is yet!” The song has yet to reach its climax. A person’s ability to control the piano is best tested by the climax of the song. Someone like Janet was simply lucky enough to choose the right song at best. Besides, it has only been several months since she got to know Walter. I don’t believe that she can play the climax perfectly. Thus, she gripped her skirt tightly and deliberately reminded them, “She can only be considered good if she masters the climax of the song.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryUpon hearing what Emily said, several of the contestants nodded in agreement. “That’s right. The climax is the hardest part of every song. Furthermore, this song spans several octaves. It is extremely difficult to play it masterfully.”
Another one of the contestants added, “That’s right. Emily performed the climax of her song perfectly. That’s why she received such high scores.”
“In that case, the winners of the preliminary round will still be Emily and Roxy.”
Roxy listened quietly, smiling as he watched the screen.
“Don’t be so certain about it. Who knows if Janet can actually perform the song perfectly? What I said just now was only my personal guess.” Emily smiled while glaring intently at the screen.
Several of the contestants smiled without saying anything. Since Emily was so skillful, she surely had a more comprehensive perspective toward the issue than they did. Following their guessing game, the song Janet was performing soon arrived at its climax. Hence, everybody watched the screen before them with bated breath.

Janet’s cherry lips curved slightly. Her eyes were closed, and her body swayed slightly along with the music. She was in full control of the rhythm and finesse of the song. When she lifted her delicate head, a warm light shone on her long and curved eyelashes from above. It looked like a golden feather had landed on top of her eyes. Her entire being was as attractive as the song she was playing.
As her index finger landed on the black and white piano keys, she led the song into its climax. During that time, she stood up while her slender hands swiftly danced across the piano keys.
The audience felt goosebumps appearing on their skin. Putting aside how skillfully she was playing the climax of the song; just the ambiance she created was enough to drive anybody crazy! Furthermore, her execution of the climax was even more heart-wrenching! At this point, ‘good’ was an understatement when describing the song—it could no longer be described with just the word ‘good’!
Emily glared at the screen. Her eyes were tingling. More importantly, Janet’s music had conquered her ears. Even if she brainwashed herself with all her might, she still couldn’t say that the song was ‘bad’.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 893
Emily’s face became paler and paler. The words ‘this is unbelievable’ were practically written across her face at this very moment. A sudden realization washed over her: I’m done for! Why? Why is Janet so good at playing the piano?! Why didn’t I know about it?! Why did Janet keep it a secret from me?! Today is supposed to be my day! Why does Janet have to stick her nose in it?! What the hell is this?! Her heart was consumed by a mixture of pain and rage!
Meanwhile, the man sitting in the front row of the audience watched everything in front of him calmly. Joy flashed across his deep eyes, but he tried hard to suppress it. Jan really does know how to play the piano! Jan is really good at it too! I thought she had revealed the full extent of her skills during Emily’s banquet the other day. I can’t believe how skillful she is! I really did not expect this… He took out a packet of cigarettes, simultaneously feeling happy and irritable as he lit one up and put it in his mouth. His movements were very slow, and his voice was very cold. “Jan, what other secrets are you hiding from me?”
On the other hand, Henry sat there with his mouth agape—his mouth was open so wide that even a goose egg could easily fit into it. Damn! I’ve known Janet for such a long time. Despite that, I never knew that she was so good at playing the piano! Her performance today is even better than her performance during Emily’s banquet the other day! This indicates that her true strength goes far beyond that!
Then, Lee pursed his lips. Turning his head, he smilingly asked, “What do you think, Young Master Moss?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryA long while later, Henry came back to his senses. Nodding, he looked embarrassed and a little stunned. “S-She’s not bad!”
“Not bad?” Lee curled his lips into a smile. “Are you saying you’ve met somebody better than her before?”
Henry nodded stiffly and confidently replied, “Yes! My idol, Sweet Tune!”
Lee rolled his eyes speechlessly while shifting his gentle gaze to the young girl on the stage again.
At this moment, the girl on the stage lifted her eyes and slowly got up. The look in her eyes was full of wickedness and haughtiness. “I’ve finished my performance. Thank you.”
After her words rang out, the entire theater fell dead silent again. Isn’t her tone and her attitude way too arrogant?! She is acting as if she’s already the champion!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySmiling, she slowly walked to the middle of the stage and waited for the judges to score her performance. The five judges held their breaths and glanced at each other. Their expressions were full of disbelief and shock. In the short five minutes of her performance, she broadened their horizons again by showing them just what it meant to be a real piano master.
“F*ck! Did Janet really perform that song?!”
“I wasn’t hallucinating just now, right?!”
“How can this be?! Isn’t Janet an author?! Why does she also know how to play the piano?!”
“Yeah! Besides, how can her playing style be so similar to Sweet Tune?!”
“Sweet Tune? Could it be that Janet is Sweet Tune’s apprentice too?”
“That’s impossible. Sweet Tune only has one apprentice—Roxy. How can another apprentice just appear out of thin air like that?”
“No way. Could it be that Janet plagiarized this song—”
Meanwhile, all the judges could think of was the word ‘plagiarism’. Plagiarism was a huge taboo regardless of what industry it concerned. As judges, they could not tolerate such behavior, much less during a competition that was being broadcasted globally
When the host saw that the judges didn’t seem inclined to score her performance, he hurriedly reminded them, “Dear judges, please score the performance.”
Despite that, the five judges remained motionless. Hence, an incredibly awkward atmosphere fell across the entire venue.
Henry blinked. “What’s going on? Why are these judges specifically targeting Janet?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 894
Are they bullying Janet because they think she has nobody backing her up? Mason scowled deeply as he watched everything occurring on stage.
On the other hand, the contestants watching from backstage were acting like onlookers enjoying a show.
“Janet clearly performed so well. Why are the judges refusing to score her? What is going on?”
“Yeah. Could it be that they’re harassing Janet?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“No. I think she performed so perfectly that even the judges don’t know how to evaluate her!”
“Emily, what do you think is the reason for their actions?” Hazel looked at Emily with a pleading gaze.
Emily pursed her lips with a troubled expression. “I don’t know!” To be honest, she had caught a whiff of Sweet Tune’s playing style from the song Janet performed just now. To put it bluntly, isn’t Janet plagiarizing Sweet Tune’s songs too? How dare she criticize me for it?
The difference was that the judges found it natural for Emily to have Sweet Tune’s shadow in her songs since she was so deeply involved in music. Unfortunately, Janet was completely uninvolved in music. Therefore, it was not normal for Sweet Tune’s playing style to be reflected in her music! This is probably the reason why the judges are refusing to score Janet. Haha! Even the judges think that she is plagiarizing Sweet Tune’s songs. She won’t be able to escape from this! I’m sure she will be kicked out of this competition after the preliminary round! Thinking about that, Emily secretly rejoiced in Janet’s misfortune!
On the other side, Janet stood on the stage for two minutes. Even so, the judges refused to score her performance. Thus, she questioned, “Dear judges, is my original creation not worthy of being scored?” The girl stood on the stage with her arms folded across her chest. She raised her eyebrows questioningly, an amused and devilish look appearing in the depths of her eyes.
The five judges exchanged glances with each other. A long while later, one of them finally said, “Contestant Janet Jackson, do you know that the song you performed today is very similar to somebody else’s song?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryLooking up, she chuckled and asked, “Are you talking about Sweet Tune?”
Several of the judges were rather taken aback by her answer. One of them immediately replied, “It’s very similar to Sweet Tune’s songs. So, I suspect that this song is not your original creation!”
In the beginning, she claimed that this song was her original creation. If she changed her tune now and admitted that it was not her original song, then her score would be greatly penalized to the point where it was hard to say if she could even pass the preliminary round.
“Dear judges, I’m afraid that you don’t know—” Hilbert started speaking. He was about to explain the situation to the judges.
All of a sudden, Janet stepped forward, seeming to be quite troubled. “Then, what about contestant Emily Jackson just now?” After saying that, she turned to look at the blonde, green-eyed man sitting in the front row. “Great works will always have similarities! Isn’t that right, Mr. Hilbert?” Those words were spoken by Emily herself. If they did not apply to her, then the judges were clearly practicing double standards!
Hilbert was rendered speechless for a moment before he nodded. “I did say that. Moreover, those words can apply to any of the other contestants. Judges, please score her.”
“Uh…” The judges awkwardly glanced at each other again. Since even Hilbert had said so, they had no reason to stubbornly pursue this matter. Therefore, they lowered their heads and wrote their scores on the tablets.
The host soon received the scores from the judges. When he saw the results on the tablet, his eyes widened. However, an expression of incredulity seemed to be within expectation. He took a deep breath and announced, “I hereby announce that the last contestant Janet Jackson received a score of 99.8 points!”
As soon as those words rang out, the entire venue exploded indignantly.
“What the hell?! Janet performed so well! Why is her score so low?!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 895
“Why did the judges score her only 99.8 points? Is it because she is not a professional pianist?”
“But, she performed better than Emily!”
“Yeah. Besides, won’t there be a three-way tie in the preliminary round if Janet receives 99.8 points too?”
“Damn! Isn’t the competition too fierce?!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Perhaps the judges felt that she had too many similarities with Sweet Tune. However, they don’t have any evidence to prove it either. So, they had no choice but to give her the same score as Emily!”
“It makes sense when you put it that way.”
The audience was buzzing with excitement, and the backstage area even more so.
Emily’s mood could not get any worse at the moment. Just who does Janet think she is?! How dare she compete with me?! Moreover, she also accused my music of being very similar to Sweet Tune’s! If I think about it, isn’t she saying ‘if I am plagiarizing, then Emily’s performance can be considered plagiarism too’? She clenched her fists tightly. It felt as if her head was so tense that it could explode at any moment! How dare Janet accuse me of plagiarism?! Didn’t she herself plagiarize Sweet Tune’s songs?! How can she be so shameless as to scold me for it?! How disgusting! What’s more, I can’t even expose her plagiarism now. If I expose her for it, then I’ll be done for too! Right now, Janet and I are in the same boat!
After Hazel listened to what Janet said, she combined those words with the fact that Janet’s song and Emily’s song had very high levels of similarity. Then, she frowned in response as a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes.
A few seconds later, her puzzled expression turned to rage. Looking at Emily, she questioned, “What does Janet mean? Is she implying that if the judges decide that she is plagiarizing, then you are also plagiarizing? Isn’t it obvious that she is putting Mr. Hilbert in a difficult position?!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Forget it, Hazel. I don’t want to bother about it!” Emily felt slightly aggrieved. Her eyelashes couldn’t help trembling. At the same time, her voice was low and cold. It was as if she had suffered the greatest grievance in the world.
Despite how wronged Emily felt, she refused to let Hazel do anything about it. When Hazel saw that, she felt even angrier. “How can Janet act so shamelessly? It’s obvious that she was plagiarizing Sweet Tune’s song yet she still wants to drag you down with her! That’s so shameless of her!”
However, Emily had an ominous feeling for some reason. She greatly regretted playing the song ‘Fireworks’. Even more than that, she regretted allowing Janet to appear in this competition. If Janet wasn’t here today, this competition would have proceeded smoothly. What a mess. She sighed and clenched her fists. “Hazel, stop bothering about her. It won’t be good if this issue gets bigger.”
Even so, Hazel couldn’t stand Janet’s triumphant and proud expression. “Emily, you’re being too tolerant. That’s why she dares to say that about you.”
“It’s fine. Even if she doesn’t believe me, you believe me, right?” Emily was feeling very annoyed. She did not want to turn this into a bigger issue.
Hazel looked at Emily’s expression and seemed to understand something. Mulling over it, she started scheming in her heart. However, she quickly recovered her composure on the surface. “Fine. I’ll let her off this time. In any case, there’s still the advancement round!”
When Emily heard what Hazel said, she couldn’t help feeling relieved inside. Based on Hazel’s personality, she would not stop until she got to the bottom of the issue. However, it seemed like she was going to end things here because of Emily’s suggestion.
“Let’s go back for the encore!” Emily smiled as she turned back to look at Hazel. It felt as if Hazel had something on her mind, but Emily couldn’t figure it out. All Emily heard was ‘okay’.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 896
After that, all five contestants that passed the preliminary round performed a simple encore before they went backstage to prepare for their next song.
The next elimination round would begin in the afternoon. Therefore, everybody returned to their rooms to prepare for the competition in the afternoon. Only three people would be left after the advancement round in the afternoon. Hence, they were anxiously practicing and memorizing their songs.
Janet did not return to her room. Instead, she was kidnapped by Mason to go out for lunch.
“Janet, that song of yours was so lovely. What is the title of the song?” Henry asked, trying to butter up to her.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe lowered her head to play on her phone. She didn’t seem to care and faintly replied, “It’s ‘Untitled’.”
“Right, right, right.” He stared straight at her, seeming to have ulterior motives.
Mason held Janet’s cold hands. At the same time, he unkindly rolled his eyes at Henry.
At that moment, Janet suddenly received a message from Walter. ‘The color palette and tonal contrasting are ready. Shall I send it to you now?’
Her eyes gleamed, and the corners of her mouth lifted. ‘Sure.’
Walter asked again, ‘Now?’
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryGlancing at the time, she replied, ‘It’s lunchtime right now. Nobody will be looking at their phones. Let’s wait until the elimination round in the afternoon!’
Walter: ‘You are still you. You haven’t changed at all.’
When she read the message, she couldn’t help raising her eyebrows in response. ‘I’ll just take that as a compliment. Thank you. Also, please tell Gordon that I’m thankful for his hard work!’
Despite waiting for some time, Walter did not reply. Thus, Janet naturally turned the chat off.
At the same time, Megan and Brian initially went to Janet’s room to talk to her. However, she was not around. So, they went to Emily’s room instead.
When Emily saw Megan, she felt extremely aggrieved. “Mommy, it was so dangerous today. I nearly—”
Brian pursed his lips and pushed his glasses up his nose. “Emily, you did a good job! Relax!”
“That’s right. Janet didn’t do that on purpose either. Don’t take those words to heart.” Megan fell silent for several minutes before continuing, “Besides, you didn’t plagiarize this time, right?” I’ve warned Emily before that there will be no next time. Those words are still in effect!
Looking into Megan’s serious eyes, Emily instantly felt a surge of remorse. She shifted her gaze away, her small hands clutching at her skirt. “Of course, I won’t plagiarize again, Mommy. I still remember what you said to me back then.”
Brian smiled. “Of course, we believe you. Besides, Mr. Hilbert is so skillful. I’m sure you learned a lot from him.”
“That’s right.” Megan smiled as well. “Still, Janet really surprised me this time.” I never imagined Janet’s piano skills to be so good. Even Brian and I were mesmerized by the sound of her piano.
Emily’s expression turned ugly immediately. She nervously picked at her nails. “Mommy, Daddy, do you think I still have a chance at winning the competition?” I did not expect Megan and Brian to change their opinions of Janet so quickly! This is definitely not a good thing!
“Well…” Megan and Brian exchanged a glance with each other. Megan seemed a bit embarrassed as she explained, “Emily, it doesn’t matter to us whether you or Janet wins this competition. After all, you are both our daughters. Even if you don’t win first place, I will not deprive you of anything. I will always support you in whatever you want to learn.”
What does she mean by those words?! Does she think that Janet is better than me?! Impossible! Janet’s achievements came from plagiarism! Why does she receive their praises and affirmation?! Why can’t I get everybody’s acceptance when all I did was ‘borrow’ a little bit of inspiration?!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 897
Why does everything I have get stolen away by Janet?! Why?! Emily clutched at Megan’s hands tightly and shook her head. “Mommy, it’s not the same! Janet is Janet, and I am me! She has gotten everything she wants. Why does she have to snatch away what belongs to me?!”
The first place of the competition was right at my fingertips. Why did Janet have to appear and destroy my dreams?! What else can that btch do aside from writing novels?! Oh, I forgot. That btch is also good at seducing men! I’m being so benevolent by not telling J’Adore about her affair with Mason. So, why is she still forcing me into a corner and pushing me into a dead-end?!
Megan and Brian had never seen Emily so emotionally distraught before. Thus, they could only comfort her by saying, “Emily, you’ve misunderstood. The winner of this competition has not been decided yet. There’s no guarantee that you’ll win either!”
“That’s right. Emily, why don’t you practice the song you are going to perform in the next round? Perhaps, you might even tie with Janet. It will be nice to win the competition together!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryIf both Janet and Emily won the competition, then the Jackson Family’s reputation will soar greatly. It would establish a great reputation in Sandfort City for the Jackson Family!
“Tie?!” Emily instantly broke free of Megan’s arm. “It doesn’t matter how much I prepare! Janet will surely win!”
“Emily, why are you so certain about that? Don’t forget; Janet spent much less time learning the piano than you did. Why are you panicking now?” Megan could not understand. What is wrong with Emily? Why is she giving up after the preliminary round?
“Janet’s song ‘Untitled’ isn’t her original creation! It’s plagiarized from Sweet Tune Guru! All the songs produced by Sweet Tune Guru are masterpieces! So, she will never lose! Whereas, my original creations will never win!” Emily roared at the top of her voice. That shout of hers was filled with deep grievances.
Megan and Brian shrank back in shock when they heard those words. They were stunned for several seconds before they said, “Emily, you must not wildly accuse others of plagiarism. Do you have any evidence?”
“I’ve heard every single song Sweet Tune Guru ever played. The song Janet performed on stage today was one of Sweet Tune’s songs when she just debuted. It’s just that Janet rearranged the song a little. She is so shameless that she performed the song in the competition and claimed that it was her original creation! So, why don’t you tell me: how can I possibly win?!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query
Megan and Brian felt as if they were struck by lightning after they heard what Emily said. Oh, my God!
“Are you telling the truth?!” Megan opened her eyes wide, seemingly unable to accept the truth. It had not been easy for her to finally acknowledge Janet from the bottom of her heart. And now, she learned that the daughter she acknowledged was completely unethical! She had always understood the severity of plagiarism. If I don’t expose Janet right now, it will be very unfair toward Emily. But… I can’t bear to expose Janet either. Regardless of what she did, she is still my flesh and blood. On the other hand, this girl in front of me is somebody I raised for 18 years! For a moment, Megan felt as if the sky was about to collapse on her.
Emily secretly glanced at Megan. Then, she intentionally rubbed her eyes and nonchalantly said, “Mommy, I was just being emotional just now. Don’t blame Janet. After all, Janet wants to be good at everything. I’m just fulfilling her wishes!”
What they didn’t know was that a girl was standing outside the door, eavesdropping on their conversation. Hazel clenched her fists tightly and hurriedly fled the scene. Walking into the room the organizers had prepared for Sheldon, she exploded in rage. “She is so shameless! I’ve never seen anybody more shameless in my life!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 898
Sheldon sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He leisurely asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Sheldon, I need to ask you for a favor. You have to help me.” Hazel was livid beyond words even before this incident. At first, she had gone looking for Emily to discuss their countermeasures. However, she had not expected Emily to keep quiet despite suffering such a terrible injustice. Now that she knew about it and heard about it, she could not sit idly by. I’m going to kick Janet out of this piano competition! Even if I’m not the winner of this competition, I cannot let Janet become the winner!
He could tell at a glance that it wasn’t going to be something good. Thus, he looked up and coldly asked, “What is it?”
“Help me invite somebody over.” She chewed on her lip, looking determined. “I want to invite Sweet Tune here. She has to arrive in Yobril before the finals this afternoon.” I’m going to invite Sweet Tune herself to come here and personally expose Janet, that plagiarizing freak! As long as the person involved is here, Janet will not be able to talk her way out of it. Even if she has a thousand mouths, it won’t do her any good! The honor of winning this competition belongs to others. I will not allow Janet to trample on it.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHe frowned. His voice was emotionless and toneless as he asked, “What do you want to do?”
“I want Sweet Tune to expose Janet, that plagiarizing freak!”
When he heard those words, the look in his eyes wavered slightly. “Hazel, do you know what you’re doing?”
“I know.” She nodded without showing any weaknesses. “I will definitely not allow a plagiarizing freak to win this competition!” She strongly emphasized the words ‘plagiarizing freak’.
He fell silent for a while before turning around. “I can’t help you with this.” It doesn’t matter whether Janet plagiarized or not. I can’t… He shook his head, trying to remove that girl’s image from his head. Unfortunately, that night, as well as everything that occurred in the Fuller Residence, was vividly stuck in his head as if it had only happened yesterday. Even the way she rejected his invitation to eat dinner together made his heart melt!
Hazel had expected this answer. Therefore, she sneeringly said, “Fine. If you won’t help me, then I’ll go to Dad. Dad can help me instead!” Dad loves me so much. I don’t believe that he will refuse to help me search for somebody!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryUpon hearing the word ‘Dad’, he felt his heart sinking. “Hazel, stop causing trouble!” Dad is still recovering from his sickness. I can’t trouble him over such trivial matters.
She said, “But, even my brother, who loves me the most, won’t help me. Who else can I ask?”
Sheldon rubbed his eyes irritably before coldly saying, “Fine. I’ll search for her. But, you better do this after you’ve gotten definite evidence.”
“Haha, you don’t need to worry about that, Sheldon.” The corners of her lips curled into a sneer. Then, she slowly walked out. I can’t believe that a plagiarizing freak managed to make my brother fall in love with her… Hmph. What is there to like about her? All she has is a pretty face!
Hazel did not tell Emily that she asked Sheldon to search for Sweet Tune. Otherwise, somebody as kind as Emily would never allow her to ask Sweet Tune to help expose Janet. If so, then allow me to be the villain instead! I can also consider it as helping Emily out. Even if I can’t win, I want the winner to be somebody who competed fair and square in this competition.
At the same time, Janet had just finished eating her lunch.
“What time does the second elimination round begin in the afternoon?” Mason held her hand and entered the car.
“At 2 PM.” Five performances will take two hours. So, the competition will end at 4 PM.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 899
The man squeezed Janet’s small hands and dotingly said, “Sleep for a bit. I’ll wake you up later.”
Janet indifferently made a non-committal grunt in reply and leaned into the man’s arms. Her small hands naughtily groped his waist as she teased, “How nice. Your muscles have gotten much firmer.”
He pursed his lips without saying anything. Then, he took her hands and moved them to his private parts. “If you continue being cheeky, I’ll give you a taste of something else that is firmer than my muscles.”
She said nothing and immediately moved aside, pushing the man away from her.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAt that moment, the phone in her pocket rang suddenly. She took it out and saw that Lee was calling her.
Lee’s gentle and deep voice came from the other side of the phone. “Somebody is looking for you.”
“I’m busy!” The girl’s voice was cold and distant. I’m having a competition this afternoon. Where will I find the time to run around?
Lee said, “I accepted the job on your behalf. It’s a 100 million appearance fee!” After saying that, he couldn’t help snickering.
She was rendered speechless. 100 million… If I can’t go, I’ll have to pay a compensation of 1 billion for breach of contract! What is Lee trying to do to me?! She became anxious. “Lee, do you want to get fired?!”
“Janet, why are you getting so anxious?” Lee could tell that he had angered her. Thus, he hurriedly explained, “The person who issued this job is Sheldon Fuller. He wants you to appear at the grand theatre before the finals today.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“It’s that simple?” She relaxed slightly after hearing that.
Lee replied, “Yup, it’s that simple. Isn’t 100 million worth it?”
“Okay. I got it.” After saying that, Janet immediately hung up. Even without this job, I already planned to reveal my identity anyway.
The man sitting next to her turned and looked at her before asking, “What’s up? Where are you going?”
She raised her eyebrows at him and casually replied, “I’m not going anywhere.”
When he heard her reply, he snatched her phone away, pressed her head against his shoulder, and softly said, “Then, go to sleep.”
“Okay.” After saying that, she really closed her eyes.
The man held her small phone in his hands and silently mulled over something for several seconds. In the end, he turned on her phone and secretly went through her contacts. He switched out all the intimate nicknames in her contacts. The name ‘Mason’ was also changed to ‘Official Boyfriend’. He looked at the new title in satisfaction, the corners of his mouth curving into an idiotically blissful expression.
At the same time, Emily and Megan were at a stalemate inside the room. Emily was desperately grabbing Megan’s hand and pleading with her. “Mommy, don’t go to Janet. I’m sure she won’t do it again.” If Megan goes to Janet right now, she will surely drag me down with her. That won’t be beneficial to us.
“Emily, you know my character. I will never condone something like plagiarism.” Megan was so furious that her face was blue. Why are both my daughters like this?! Didn’t Janet learn anything from Emily’s mistake back then?! Our relatives talked about the incident where Emily plagiarized Janet’s drawings for more than half a year! It wasn’t until Emily went to study abroad that they gradually forgot about it! I wasn’t really bothered by it at the time but now, the one doing the plagiarizing is my biological daughter! I can’t tolerate such behavior!
Emily bit her lip and said aggrievedly, “If she is still performing a plagiarized piece in the next round, then I will expose her identity on the spot.” She spoke angrily, acting as if it were true.
Taking a deep breath, Megan finally compromised and said, “Okay.” I’m utterly disappointed with Janet.

The piece that Janet played during the preliminary round had attracted everyone’s attention.
“D*mn. My last impression of Janet is that she’s a top scholar. How did she turn into a pianist all of a sudden?”
“Holy crap. I didn’t expect Janet to be able to play such a difficult piece.”
“Oh my God. Is it too late to rush to the competition venue now to cheer her on?”
“Does this mean she can be considered the champion already?”

“You’re talking about Sweet Tune Guru, right?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Oh! No wonder I found them so similar!”
“Then, could this song have been plagiarized?”
“Goodness me. Janet has quite the courage, doesn’t she? How dare she plagiarize during a competition? That’s not possible!”
“But, the tone and style of this piece really resemble Sweet Tune’s song. I’m beginning to wonder if Sweet Tune wrote it herself.”
“Could Janet be another one of Sweet Tune’s apprentices?”
“That’s nonsense. Sweet Tune admitted herself that Roxy is her only apprentice!”
“Damn, what’s going on here?”
“We’ll just have to wait and see how the organizer solves this!”
In that instance, another message was posted on Twitter: ‘It is understood that Sweet Tune will appear at the World Piano Competition today, but what she will do remains to be observed.’
As soon as this news came out, Twitter erupted into an uproar.
“D*mn. It’s definitely because Sweet Tune was alarmed by Janet’s plagiarizing.”
“Oh, my God. How cool would it be if they got into a fight on the spot!”
“One writes books, and the other writes songs. It would definitely be interesting to watch them battle it out!”
“This is too exciting! I can’t wait to see what happens next!”
“Yes! We must support Sweet Tune as she fights against that plagiarizing freak!”
At the same time, Janet, Mason, and Henry were rushing to the competition site.
Henry drove while Janet and Mason sat in the back.
“Mrs. Lowry, why did you want to participate in the competition?” Henry asked curiously as he rubbed his nose.
Janet contemplated the situation. She would have to appear at the competition as Sweet Tune, so she might as well let Henry be mentally prepared.
Therefore, she said, “Because I want to get back something that belongs to me. I—”
As soon as she started speaking, a rumbling sound came from behind.
Janet and Mason instinctively turned toward the sound.
All of a sudden, their pupils constricted and they spoke in unison. “Henry, be careful!”
Hearing the noise, Henry glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a black truck speeding along from behind. It was going to crash into them as if the driver had lost control.
Henry reacted swiftly. He swerved and watched as the truck slammed into the object in front of it.
Henry immediately relaxed, and his thin lips twitched. “Young Master Mason, Mrs. Lowry, my driving skills are commendable, right?”
The moment he said that, another rumbling sound rang out from the left side, and the three of them looked over at the same time.
However, because they had just turned a corner, they had no other road to turn into, so they could only watch as the truck on their left side crashed into them.
Mason’s pupils constricted once again as he panicked and covered Janet with his body. “Jan, watch out!”
