Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 901
Henry was the first to respond as he widened his eyes in shock. “Young Master Mason!”
A hole had been carved into the left side of the black Maybach, leaving Janet injured.
There was a gash on her left arm, and warm blood was gushing out.
Janet looked down at her arm and couldn’t help but wince.

The tire scraped sharply against the ground as more and more gunshots sounded behind them. Janet wanted to get up to help but was harshly pressed back down by Mason. “Get down!”
She opened her eyes wide and noticed the numerous holes in the glass window opposite her. Panic rose inside her.
Before she could pull out a gun, her hand was shoved back, and the man pressed her firmly against his thigh as he fought the onslaught of gunfire alone.
“Trust me.” Janet’s clear and indifferent voice rang out.
Mason was silent for a moment, then he pursed his lips and finally let go of her hand.

Janet endured the pain of the wound, pulled out her gun, then fired at the truck across them.
Henry turned pale and hurriedly turned to assess the situation.
The men in black, who had been carrying guns, had all collapsed.
All the wheels on the truck were blown to bits, and none of its occupants survived.
A car had been following behind them, but when it saw that all the people from the truck were defeated, it quickly turned around and sped off.
For a moment, there was no one around.
“We can’t catch up to them.”
Mason reverted his gaze to Janet and saw the bloody cut on her arm, finding it terrifying and hideous to look at.
“Henry, go to the hospital immediately.” The man’s voice was low and hoarse, and he spoke in a strained manner.
“Okay.” Without even thinking twice, Henry hurriedly searched for the nearest hospital on his phone.
“It’s okay. We’ll deal with the wound when we get to the hospital,” Janet said faintly with no expression on her face.
“Quiet!” Mason’s face was dark. He shrugged off his jacket, then took off the black shirt he was wearing underneath and used it as gauze to give her a simple bandage.
Stunned, Janet didn’t speak and simply let the man deal with her injury.
His face was gloomy, and he was exerting more force than usual.
Janet grimaced and snapped, ”Will it hurt to be a little more gentle?”
Looking up at her, Mason spoke in a low and cold voice. “If you’re in pain, then you should’ve listened to me and stayed put. You’re injured and yet you’re forcing yourself.”
Janet was speechless for a second, not knowing how to justify her actions.
She looked down at the wound in her arm and murmured, “Who the hell did this?”
In the green room, Lee glanced at the time. “The competition is about to start. Why haven’t they returned yet? Do you know where they went?” He looked up at the man opposite him.
Sean shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Ever since Henry knew that Janet was excellent at playing the piano, he followed her around all day and even took over Sean’s job as the driver.
Bowing his head, Sean felt a little aggrieved.
Lee went through his contacts and made a phone call, but it wouldn’t connect no matter how many times he dialed the number.
Frowning, Lee turned to Sean. “Give me the phone your master gave you.”
Sean was stunned for a moment, then made an ‘oh’ sound and directly handed the phone over.
This time, the call connected in an instant. Lee said, “Where did you take her? The competition is about to begin.”
The low, hoarse voice on the other end of the phone spoke, and Lee’s face gradually turned sullen as his brows knitted tightly together.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 902
Noticing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Sean turned to look at Lee.
He heard Lee saying solemnly, “All right. Take good care of her.”
“What happened?” Sean asked while taking back the phone.
“On their way back, they encountered a gunfight, and Janet’s arm was injured after being hit by a car.” Lee’s voice was low, and his expression was steely as if he was out for blood.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySean froze and immediately asked, “What about Young Master Mason?”
Lee pursed his lips and said nothing, then rolled his eyes at him.
After he passed her over to Mason, she had been getting injured more times than he could count!
That b*stard sure is useless!
After hanging up the phone, Lee didn’t go to the hospital but went to the judges’ lounge instead.
The five judges were all there.

At Lee’s sudden visit, the few of them were surprised and hurriedly got up to greet him. “Young Master Sanders, what are you doing here?”
Lee closed the door, then sat on the sofa—his demeanor was unusually calm. “Regarding the second and third round of the competition, can it be postponed?”
As soon as he said that, the judges exchanged looks; they looked somewhat at a loss. “Well…”
“Young Master Sanders, is something the matter?”
Lee opened his eyes and told them outright. “The contestant named Janet Jackson injured her arm and is still in the hospital, so she can’t make it here and she can’t play the piano.”
The judges’ eyes bulged with surprise upon hearing this. “This… How could this happen? Is she all right?”
Lee shook his head. “That’s why I wanted to ask if it’s possible to change the time for the next round.”
“Young Master Sanders, the thing is…” The few judges had troubled looks on their faces. “You know that today’s competition is being broadcasted live worldwide, so even if we agree, what are we supposed to tell the other contestants? What do we say to the global audience?”
“Okay,” Lee said blankly. “Then, I’ll withdraw from the competition on behalf of Janet.”
“This…” The judges looked at each other again, and they appeared even more distressed than before.
Withdraw from the competition? Sweet Tune has just announced that she’s coming, and now Janet’s withdrawing. Could it be that she feels guilty? Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
One of the judges stood up and asked, “Young Master Sanders, what is your relationship with Miss Jackson?”
“I’m her friend.” After Lee answered, he turned and walked out; his departure was followed by a loud slam of the door.
Henry had informed the hospital long before they arrived. By the time they got there, the hospital chief, the chief surgeon, and a nurse were already waiting outside.
Although Henry’s driving skills weren’t as good as Mason and Janet’s, the speed at which he drove today could be compared with those two people.
Fortunately, the wound was bandaged in time, so she didn’t lose a lot of blood.
The hospital chief knew of their status in Sandfort City and the whole of Asia, so he hurriedly ordered, “Get her to the emergency room.”
The chief surgeon nodded and waved for the nurse to carry her onto a wheelchair.
Mason pursed his lips and stayed silent as he picked Janet up and went to the emergency room.
Janet wanted to laugh and cry. “Can you stop being so anxious? It didn’t hurt before, but I’m definitely hurting now.”
Mason was expressionless. Looking straight ahead, a trace of self-blame flashed across his face.
It’s all because I didn’t protect her well. If I had brought more people to Yobril, this wouldn’t have happened. But, who would attack us in Yobril? Was the culprit targeting me or Janet?
“I’ll go out first.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 903
When they reached the emergency room, Mason gently set her down. His expression was blank, and his gaze didn’t rest on her for more than half a second.
Janet’s lips moved, and an indiscernible emotion flashed across her face. She seemed lost and sad, but quickly returned to normal and nodded. “Okay.”
She was obedient and her answer came quickly, but the man still didn’t spare her a glance.
After a while, Janet looked away and she heard the sound of footsteps as he walked out the door.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe chief surgeon hurried to her bedside. After assessing the wound on Janet’s arm for a while, he said calmly, “The wound is quite deep. I can’t rule out the possibility of there being glass inside, so we may need to disinfect and take the shards out later. It will hurt a lot; can you take it?”
Janet nodded and murmured a faint ‘yes’.
Mason didn’t leave directly after leaving the emergency room but stopped outside the door to listen to the conversation inside.
When the man heard the word ‘glass’, he suddenly saw red.
Just now, he had been avoiding her gaze, as he was afraid to look at her, much less look at her wound. He was fearful, and Janet noticed that he was nervous and blaming himself.
He didn’t blame her for trying to be brave anymore.

She never said that she was in pain, and she never cried. But, does it really not hurt? Of course, it does. She’s also human—a human woman. She’s made of flesh and blood, so it undoubtedly hurts, and she needs to be protected. It’s just that she always pretends to be easy-going or indifferent.
Just then, a panicked shout sounded in the corridor. Mason looked up and squinted.
“Where’s Janet?” Lee’s expression was bleak and he seemed unworried, but his uneven breathing betrayed him.
Mason looked down and said, “Emergency room.”
Upon hearing this, Lee’s handsome face turned sullen and dark. “Ever since she got together with you, she’s been hurt more times than she should.”
Last time in the teahouse, she had helped him block a bullet, and now, she was somehow injured again after participating in the competition.
If word about this got out, the other forces of Markovia might laugh themselves silly!
Pursing his lips, Mason said nothing.
I’m useless; I’m trash. I can’t even protect my own woman. What’s more, it was hard to lay a finger on the old Janet, let alone hurt her!
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. Mason reached for it and took it out.
When he answered the phone, a low, hoarse male voice came from the other end.
As Mason listened, his eyes narrowed slightly. “All right. I’ll go over now.”
Sean was in the emergency room on the second floor. When he went to the scene of the incident, he found that some of the men were still alive. In order to facilitate the confession, he brought them to the hospital.
Mason stood quietly by the bed as he looked down at the man dressed in black. The air around him felt static.
Narrowing his eyes, Mason spoke in a stony voice. “Tell me; who sent you?”
The man that was lying on the bed stayed silent, a sneer hanging on the corners of his lips.
Mason lifted his leg and kicked him hard.
Blood shot out of the man’s mouth, but he said nothing.
Mason’s eyes narrowed with hostility, and he was ready to give the man another kick.
“Young Master Mason, there’s no point asking. This man’s mouth is sealed tight. I’ve repeatedly questioned him just now, but he won’t say a word.” Sean stood on the side, feeling utterly distressed.
When Mason heard this, he pressed his exquisite lips into a hard line, his demeanor exuding an air of haughtiness.
“We’ll see if your mouth is tougher than my fist!”
With that, he punched the man in the face.
The wound on the man’s chest was bleeding, and fresh blood was flowing out of his mouth.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 904
After suffering a dozen blows, the man in black still refused to speak. When Mason realized that the man lying on the bed was no longer resisting, he stopped.
Sean stepped forward and felt under the man’s nose. “Young Master Mason, he’s not breathing anymore. I’ll ask the doctor to come and resuscitate him.”
Mason’s eyes showed no change of emotion as his lips curled up into a frosty smile. “Send him to the crematorium.” Then, he walked toward the emergency room door without another word, leaving an air of ruthlessness behind him.
Since they refused to speak even after being forced, it showed that these people were something, and it was likely that they belonged to an organization. For some reason, Mason had the feeling that these people were from the same organization as the people who came after him at the teahouse. Who the hell is constantly looking for an opportunity to assassinate me?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAfter the doctor treated Janet’s wound, he gently reminded, “Don’t let the wound come into contact with water, and don’t lift any heavy objects, okay?”
Janet’s face was blank as she nodded. “Okay.”
Afterward, the doctor and nurses left. When Lee saw that the doctors and nurses had come out, he stepped forward and asked, “Doctor, can I go in and see her?”
The doctor nodded. “Go ahead. And remind her not to get the wound wet.”
“Thank you,” Lee said and walked straight into the emergency room.
Janet was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Hearing his footsteps, she quickly opened her eyes and sat up. Lee immediately yelled, “Don’t move!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet raised her eyebrows when she heard this, then joked, “What? Now that I can’t use my left arm, you dare to be fierce with me?”
Lee was amused and his somber mood gradually dissipated; he couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t joke about it.” Even if she only used her right arm, she could easily defeat him.
Janet suddenly remembered something. “By the way, I still have to go to the competition site.”
She then tried to get up but was stopped by Lee. “Don’t move, young lady! You don’t need to go to the competition. I’ve already withdrawn on your behalf.”
When she heard this, Janet’s eyes narrowed as she fixed him with a dangerous stare.
Lee wasn’t afraid of this look, so he said outright, “There’s no use in glaring at me. The judges have already agreed, and they’ll let the organizer know when the time comes.”
Feeling helpless, all she could do was nod. After that, she peered outside the ward again and grew confused. “Where is he?”
Lee, who was peeling an apple, paused, then looked up at her. “Are you talking about Mason?”
Janet nodded. A hint of anticipation was in her eyes, but it was well hidden.
“He left after getting a call.”
“Oh.”
“What’s the matter?” Lee teased, “Are you disappointed that he didn’t come to see you?”
Janet didn’t answer. Taking a bite out of the apple he just peeled, she said, “I wonder who came after us today.”
“Could it be…” Lee pondered for a while, then blurted, “Your sister?” After all, Emily was close to being the champion but was suddenly intercepted by Janet halfway through. It wasn’t impossible for her to want to kill Janet.
“Impossible.” Janet continued eating the apple. “These assassins can’t be summoned on such short notice. She’s not capable of it.”
Not to mention, she wasn’t intelligent enough to invite three groups of killers to surround her. What was more, she couldn’t possibly know when and where Mason’s car would appear.
Lee squinted. “Then, who do you think it is?”
Janet raised her eyebrows, her expression menacing. “I don’t know.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 905
There was no evidence, and plainly guessing was no use at all!
Not to mention, Janet was uncertain about whether they were targeting her or Mason.
It was too dangerous for the two of them to be together.
They would just double the danger!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryLee studied the frowning girl and felt somewhat bad for her. “Get some sleep. We’ll investigate it when we get back to Sandfort City.”
After taking the anti-inflammatory medicine, Janet felt drowsy. She said nothing and simply nodded before nestling under the blanket.
Seeing that she had closed her eyes, Lee didn’t want to bother her anymore, so he got up and walked out quietly.
When Mason heard the conversation and footsteps, he hurried into the ward next door in a panic.
He was relieved to see Lee disappear down the corridor, and only then did he walk out of the ward.
After leaving the ward, he went into the next room.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet was lying on the hospital bed and her pink lips looked pale. Her eyes were closed, and she was already asleep.
However, Mason didn’t have the courage to go in.
After hearing her question to Lee, a sweet feeling made its way into his heart, but he was also sad, and he couldn’t bring himself to see her.
She kept getting hurt time and time again because he didn’t know how to protect her.
If she continued to get in harm’s way because of him, he would rather disappear from her life!
Mason bowed his head and greedily touched Janet’s smooth and tender face.
She was such a strong person, but because of him, she was lying here—unable to join the competition.
Subconsciously, the man clenched his fist and blue veins bulged on his forehead.
“The patient needs more rest. May the family please leave the room.” The surgeon’s voice sounded next to him.
The man looked up and made a shushing gesture, then whispered, “How is she?”
“The patient needs more rest. I suggest you leave her be.”
Mason shook his head and insisted coldly, “It’s fine. She said just now that she wanted to see me. I’m not going to wake her up.”
Unable to win this argument, the surgeon hesitated before nodding. “Then, keep your movements minimal, and don’t wake her up.”
Mason didn’t speak as he returned his affectionate gaze to the girl once more.
Sighing, the surgeon exited the ward.
The judges were quick to tell the organizers about Janet’s withdrawal from the competition.
The organizers were shocked at first, then simply nodded in acknowledgment.
It didn’t take long before they issued a statement.
‘We regret to announce that Janet Jackson withdrew from the World Piano Competition due to personal reasons, but the competition will carry on. Don’t forget to watch the live broadcast or come to the venue to see your favorite pianists live.’ —The organizing committee of the World Piano Competition.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 908
Seeing how anxious Sheldon was, Hazel smirked. “Apparently, it’s because of some personal reasons. In fact, I’m sure she’s just afraid that Sweet Tune will come and expose her!”
Sheldon pursed his lips, staying silent. Obviously, he didn’t agree with her speculations.
Somehow, he felt that Janet wasn’t that kind of person.
Perhaps, to put it another way, there was absolutely no need for her to plagiarize at all.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe was more capable than any woman he had ever met, and a capable person would find it disdainful to do such a thing.
Hazel looked at Sheldon, who was lost in thought, and a trace of dissatisfaction crossed her eyes.
“Sheldon, don’t think about it anymore. Hurry up and contact Sweet Tune Guru. Don’t let her come here for nothing.”
“All right.”
Then, there was the sound of footsteps and a door closing.
Kneading his forehead, Sheldon slowly looked up. After a few seconds of silence, he picked up the phone and made a call.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query
The phone rang several times before the call was connected. In a calm voice, he said, “Tell Sweet Tune that she doesn’t need to come anymore. We’ll compensate her with ten million for breaching the agreement.”
“Okay.”
As soon as his assistant answered, he was about to hang up when Sheldon continued to speak. “Go and secretly investigate why Janet Jackson withdrew from the World Piano Competition midway.”
“Got it.”
With that, Sheldon hung up.
His relaxed fists clenched slightly, and he felt like he was going insane.
At the corridor of First Hospital, Mason and Lee sat together, and the two men exuded a terrifyingly cold aura.
“Are the attackers this time the same as the ones from the teahouse?”
Mason pondered for a few seconds, then nodded. “If my guess is correct, that’s probably the case.”
Lee couldn’t resist a bitter laugh. “Is it possible that the most powerful person in Asia can’t even find the person behind an ambush?”
In this case, how was he supposed to be at ease leaving Janet in Mason’s hands?
Mason had nothing to say, so he lowered his head and kept quiet.
After a long time, the man’s thin lips opened slightly. “We only found out that they’re from Markovia.”
Lee wasn’t surprised by this answer. After all, most of the powerful organizations were gathered there.
“There are countless people keeping their eyes on her in Markovia. It’s tiring enough for her, so I hope that you’ll find those people as soon as possible! You’re her boyfriend, not a tool to bring her harm.”
Lee’s implications were obvious. If he couldn’t even protect his own woman, what right did he have to be with her?
Mason sat quietly and listened; his delicate lips were pressed together as if he had exhausted all his strength. “I know.”
It was just a short answer, but it seemed to contain endless self-blame and guilt.
At three in the afternoon, Janet finally woke up after sleeping for nearly two hours.
As she slowly opened her eyes, she winced from the slight stinging in her arm.
“She’s awake. Let her family know,” the doctor said while removing the drip.
The nurse beside him nodded and walked out.
“Young Master Mason, the patient is awake.”
Mason, who was sitting on the bench in the corridor, shot up after hearing the words. He stood outside the ward, hesitating for a few seconds.
Janet looked up and their eyes met.
“Mason…” she called out softly.
Even though he couldn’t hear what she was saying from outside, judging from the shape of her lips, Mason knew that she was calling his name.
Lee couldn’t bear it anymore, so he said impatiently, “Aren’t you going in?”
He’s so slow and sensitive. I really don’t see why Janet likes him.
Mason had never been looked down upon like this before. Although he was angry about Lee’s attitude, he couldn’t bring himself to show his anger in front of Janet. Besides, everything that happened today was because of him.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 906
As soon as the news was announced, the whole internet instantly blew up.
Even Twitter’s server that was usually stable kept crashing.
A few netizens began to comment on the situation. ‘Oh, my god. Quit for personal reasons? How could it be so coincidental?’
‘I know, right? Sweet Tune is going in the afternoon, and Janet suddenly said that she’s quitting the competition. It’s too much of a coincidence!’
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query‘Tsk, tsk. She’s definitely guilty—so much so that she doesn’t even have the guts to show her face now. She must be afraid that she’ll be shredded to nothing!’
‘I mean, that song is clearly Sweet Tune’s. Now, Sweet Tune wants to personally go to the scene to reclaim it, but Janet felt guilty so she withdrew from the competition. Ha!’
‘I feel bad for Sweet Tune!’
‘I think the one that we should pity is Emily. After all, although her song was also similar, at least she doesn’t feel guilty and she didn’t withdraw, which only proves that she didn’t plagiarize the composition! But, she was shown up by Janet on stage during the preliminary round. Oh, that poor thing.’
‘I completely agree!’
There were those who denigrated Janet, but there were some who came out to support her.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query‘I don’t believe it. Didn’t everyone say that Janet plagiarized Rose’s novel last time? And wasn’t it proven that Rose is Janet? Maybe, Sweet Tune is also Janet.’
‘That’s right. Janet has so many identities. It won’t be surprising for her to also be Sweet Tune!’
‘Exactly. Those who denigrate Janet better watch what they say. Watch out for her attorney’s letter!’
‘Pfft! The fans are as shameless as her! If Janet is Sweet Tune, she would have stepped up to declare it!’
‘Precisely. If Janet is Sweet Tune, she wouldn’t need to go to the competition, and she wouldn’t have quit so suddenly!’
‘Yes! There’s no such coincidence. Clearly, she feels guilty!’
‘I agree. Unless it’s proven that Janet really can’t make it because of personal reasons, we won’t believe it!’
Meanwhile, when Emily, who was in her room, learned that Janet couldn’t participate in the competition due to personal reasons, she felt immeasurable joy.
Since yesterday, her mood had been fluctuating with Janet’s actions, but now, she could finally set down the huge stone weighing down on her heart.
Now, even God was helping her!
Hazel was adept at receiving gossip like this, so it went without saying that she knew about this new information.
She hurried to Emily’s room and exclaimed excitedly, “Emily, the plagiarizing freak has finally quit!”
Delighted as well, Emily nodded. “Yeah! She felt so guilty that she had to quit the competition!”
Hazel smiled contentedly. “Now, the championship can finally be awarded to the people who participated in this competition fair and square.”
She had to thank her brother for this favor!
Amidst Emily’s jubilance, she suddenly remembered something and cautiously asked, “Hazel, since that plagiarizing freak has withdrawn, why don’t you ask Sweet Tune not to come too?” If Sweet Tune showed up, how was she supposed to play Sweet Tune’s song in the second round of the competition?
Hazel was unperturbed. “It’s fine. Maybe Sweet Tune can give us a couple of pointers when she comes.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 907
Hazel wasn’t aware of Emily’s actual intentions. She truly thought that Emily just didn’t want Sweet Tune to make a pointless trip here.
“But…” Emily nervously pinched the hem of her skirt. “But, it would be so troublesome for her. Don’t forget; Sweet Tune has to get here by plane. And your brother has already spent a hundred million. It’s not worth it!”
At this moment, Emily finally managed to get through to Hazel, who was swayed. “Now that you mention it, it makes sense. I’ll ask my brother to contact her then.”
Emily was very excited to hear this. “That’s great, Hazel! I’m so happy to have you as a friend.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHazel lowered her head and smiled shyly. “Emily, this is nothing. Helping you is the same as helping myself.”
Since she was young, she didn’t have any particularly good friends. People only befriended her because they knew that she was the daughter of a council member, and they wanted to obtain something from her.
There were even certain people who were afraid to be friends with her because of her status. It wasn’t easy for her to finally meet someone who could get along with her and who didn’t shy away from her identity. Needless to say, she had to make sure she treated this friend well.
Although Emily had lied that she would help Hazel find the divine doctor, her father’s illness was now cured! So, she didn’t mind it anymore!
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Megan and Brian walked in.
Seeing this, Hazel gave a small smile. “Emily, I’ll go out first.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“All right.”
With her head bowed, Hazel walked past the two people.
“Emily, where’s Janet? She’s not here with you?” Megan walked toward Emily in a panic.
Emily couldn’t conceal the smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth twitched. “No. Didn’t she withdraw?”
Brian sighed. “I just went to her room to look for her, but she wasn’t there!”
During the first half-hour, they were still dubious about what Emily told them.
However, now that Janet had withdrawn, it was hard for them not to suspect that Janet was indeed afraid of being exposed by Sweet Tune.
For a while, Megan and Brian found it unacceptable!
At this point, Janet could be said to have thoroughly humiliated the two of them. Even if Emily won the competition, her parents’ honor and shame couldn’t be redeemed.
Today, when word of this got out, the public would just start saying that they couldn’t even control their biological daughter, but somehow managed to cultivate their adopted daughter into a global champion.
What a joke they would be!
Catching sight of the disappointed and ashamed expressions of Megan and Brian, Emily said in a sympathetic tone, “In fact, I quite pity Janet. After all, she grew up in the countryside, so it’s normal for her to be a little vain. I hope the two of you don’t blame her! If she told me in advance that she was going to participate in the competition, I definitely wouldn’t have come. I would’ve given up this championship for her.”
As she spoke, her expression gradually grew more guilty.
Megan and Brian sighed at the same time but said nothing more.
After Emily left Hazel with her parents, she headed straight to Sheldon’s room.
Hazel opened the door and secretly laughed.
Looking up at her, Sheldon asked in his deep voice, “What happened? Why are you so happy?”
Emily didn’t bother covering it up and said outright, “Sheldon, please contact Sweet Tune and tell her not to come.”
Upon hearing this, Sheldon frowned and inquired confusedly, “What’s the matter?”
“Hehe.” Hazel let out a cold laugh, then said in a mocking tone, “The plagiarizing freak has withdrawn, so there’s no point for Sweet Tune to come anymore.”
Withdrawn?
Sheldon’s brows furrowed even more, and his tone became a little anxious. “Why?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 909
Mason went into the ward.
Janet’s eyes opened slightly as she said softly, “You’re here.”
The man mumbled an answer, but there was no emotion in his voice.
Seeing as she was gradually recovering, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“I’ll pour you a glass of water.”
Janet nodded and made to get out of bed.
However, before she could lift her hand, her body was pressed back onto the bed. “Lie down!”
The man was tough, and his tone was stiff.
Janet wordlessly studied him and chuckled. “What are you worried about? It’s just an arm.”
She refused to show weakness and tried to get up once more.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“So, you’re strong now? You’re fully capable now?” Mason fixed her with a dangerous stare and seemed ready to unbutton his shirt.
Janet swallowed and shook her head. “I’m not strong. I’m not capable.”
After that, she was forced to lie back in bed.
When he was done filling the cup with water, Janet wanted to take it from him.
However, before her hand touched the cup, she saw Mason lift it to his lips. He drank the water, then began to approach her step by step.
Janet was stunned, and before she could protest, the man’s thin lips pressed against her pink lips as he let the water flow from his mouth.
Instinctively, she drank it.
After going back and forth several times, the cup was finally empty.
With a faint expression on his face, he asked, “Want some more?”
“No.” Janet shook her head.
Staring at her slightly swollen lips, Mason’s gaze darkened and he immediately changed the subject. “Are you hungry?”
Janet’s eyes were fixed on him as she shook her head. “Didn’t I just eat?”
Why is he acting so strange?
Janet didn’t understand.
At this moment, the door was opened and Lee came in.
Upon seeing him, Mason set down the cup and picked up the apple on the table before going into the bathroom.
“Janet, Sheldon said you don’t have to go to the competition. A ten million compensation for breaching the agreement has been credited into your account.”
When Janet heard this, she froze for a few seconds, then the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. “Unfortunately, nothing can stop me from going.”
If she didn’t show up today, wouldn’t she be giving Emily the title of champion without a fight?
“Go where?” Mason asked in a low voice as he came out with a washed apple.
Janet looked at him. Then, in a non-negotiable tone, she said outright, “The competition!”
“Absolutely not!” Mason exclaimed, and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.
The doctor had said that she shouldn’t move that arm for a while. Yet, she still wanted to play the piano. Nonsense!
Since the accident, he had been extremely calm and even a little cold. Now, he was finally showing some emotions. Janet raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I’m going. You can’t stop me.”
For a moment, Mason didn’t know how to refute her.
After a long silence, he finally spoke. “Eat the apple. I’ll take you there later.”
It was nine in the morning at the Wallace residence in the countryside.
The small village was covered with mountains and was particularly deserted.
A man stumbled through the door with a bottle.
Poppy looked in the mirror and sighed. “You stupid old man. Where did you go to fool around last night?”
David Wallace, who was holding a bottle, turned red and began to swear. “You stinky b*tch, hurry up and give me some money!”
As she stared at the mirror admiring her appearance, Poppy snorted and ignored him.
“B*tch, what are you still looking at? I’ll give you something to look at!” Unable to get the money, David yelled and was ready to attack.
Poppy suddenly panicked and picked up her slippers from the ground. “Stupid old man, you dare to touch me?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 910
“If you dare to touch me, I’ll run away with the remaining hundred thousand right now.”
The five million left by the Jackson Family last time seemed like a lot, but in fact, it wasn’t enough for them, especially since Poppy and David were both avid gamblers. The amount they lost daily could go up to hundreds of thousands. In less than a year, less than a hundred thousand were left of the five million deposit they received.
It certainly wasn’t worth it to exchange a young, pure girl for only five million.
If they knew better, they should’ve asked for fifty million at that time, so they didn’t have to worry for the rest of their lives!

“You b*tch. If I find out that you have something to do with Mr. Wright from next door again, I’ll break your legs.” David didn’t actually dare to do it; he only knew how to threaten her.
Still cursing, David lay on the sofa.
Suddenly, someone was shouting outside. “Poppy, David! Your daughter is on the news; she’s on TV!”
Poppy poked her head out and saw the village chief standing outside, grinning.
“What? I didn’t hear clearly,” Poppy said in choppy English.

Upon hearing this, Poppy was stunned for a few seconds, and there was an incredulous expression on her face.
She hurriedly said, “Show me.”
“Sure. Come here; it’s still showing live!” The village chief called out with a smile.
Poppy rushed into the house and hauled up a drunk David.
At the village chief’s house, when Poppy saw the TV screen, she froze.
“This… this is Janet?”
She couldn’t quite believe it.
In less than a year, it seemed as if Janet’s entire person had changed completely; only her features were unchanged. Everything about her—from the way she dressed to her appearance—was stunning.
Even the clothes she wore seemed to be branded.
“W-Who is this?” Poppy pointed at the other girl who was also a Jackson.
The village chief scratched his head and thought for a long time, then said, “Oh, right. This is also the Jacksons’ daughter. I think she’s the second Young Miss of the Jackson Family.”
As soon as he said that, Poppy’s eyes widened in disbelief.
My daughter? Her name’s Emily? My daughter is on TV? And it’s for the World Piano Competition. Seems like she’s really impressive!
“Stupid old man, look here. That’s our daughter, Emily.”
Filled with excitement, Poppy kicked the drunk David.
Still half unconscious, David’s eyes flew open.
When he saw the person on the TV screen, he was dumbfounded.
“Isn’t that our daughter?” No, it’s not our daughter anymore. She’s a Jackson now. How did she change so much? Is this still Janet?
Poppy sighed and said helplessly, “I’m not asking you to look at that ingrate! Look at our biological daughter, Emily!”
When he heard the words ‘biological daughter’ and ‘Emily’, David instantly sobered up.
As he stared at the delicate little face on the TV, he was overcome with joy.
This person named Emily Jackson is the second Young Miss of the Jackson Family? And she’s our daughter? She’s a pianist now? Oh, my God. What does being a pianist entail? The money a pianist makes can last for a lifetime! Our daughter is truly amazing!
“Being a pianist is good! Pianists are rich!” David muttered greedily.
Poppy also looked satisfied. “Yes, pianists are rich! Now, our daughter is enjoying life with the Jacksons. Unlike us—worrying about money all day long!”
