Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 931
Meanwhile, at the Lowry Residence, Henry did not participate in the second match and instead returned to Sandfort City as something suddenly cropped up in the Moss Group.
If it had not been for his assistant and everyone from the company who watched the live stream, he would not have known what went on.
Henry sat with restraint on the couch at the Lowry Residence as he cautiously asked, “Janet, are you really Sweet Tune? Are you sure that it wasn’t something you made up to deal with Emily?” I could still remember how I expressed my adoration for Sweet Tune in front of Young Master Lowry!
Now that he recalled it, it inexplicably sent a shiver down his spine.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Hmmm?” Janet raised her brow as a shadow of a smile formed by her lips. “Who else if it’s not me?”
Before Henry could say anything else, she continued, “I remembered that the Moss Group invested 5 billion in the ‘Heaven on Earth’ live concert. It became a complete loss because of Jessie from the Hunter Group. In the end, the Hunter Group had to pay 2 billion for it.”
Upon hearing that, he was stunned. “Janet, why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” He sighed and pounded his chest.
Janet smiled and replied, “Whether I told you or not, it doesn’t change the situation.”
“It would have been different.” Henry wore a serious expression. “If I knew that you are Sweet Tune, I wouldn’t have fallen for you—that’s for sure.” It was not because he would not, but more like he lacked the courage to do so!
Janet shrugged and nonchalantly uttered, “Now that you know the truth, will you try to pursue me?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryRight after she said that, they could obviously feel the air around the man beside them become colder.
“To hell if I will! I don’t come between other people’s relationships.” The timid Henry backed down.
As soon as he said that, she could feel the air around the man beside them gradually return to normal.
A disgruntled Henry intentionally added, “Janet, although I don’t like to come between other people’s relationships, that doesn’t mean other men won’t do so.”
Even before that, Sweet Tune had already been considered the musician with the most fans in the industry. Therefore, after the live stream, the number of followers in her Twitter account increased by tens of millions.
Upon hearing that, Mason, who was beside her, wrapped his arm around Janet’s waist and he firmly took her into his embrace.
The man’s voice was deep with hints of warning. “I will keep an eye on my darling. I don’t need your help, Young Master Moss.”
Huh? Young Master Moss? Why does it sound awkward? It makes our relationship sound distant. Could it be that Young Master Mason is jealous that I had a secret crush on Sweet Tune when I was unaware of the truth? F*ck! If that’s the case, it was a good thing that Janet didn’t give me Sweet Tune’s contact number!
Henry felt lucky that he was able to survive through this!
Mason glanced at Henry, who was staring into space, and he coldly asked, “Why are you still here?”
Henry was stunned before he soon returned to his senses and let out an awkward chuckle. “Young Master Mason, I’m sorry. I will leave now.”
While looking at Henry leaving with his tail between his legs, Janet pushed the man’s shoulder and she chuckled. “Why were you so fierce?”
Upon hearing that, the man caught her hand and whispered, “Tell me then—why are you so enchanting?”
His cold fingers caressed her smooth little face while his voice was beguiling. “Babe, you are gorgeous.”
A hint of blush appeared across her face and it soon disappeared, but the man had taken notice of her fleeting shyness.
Mason chuckled and carried Janet in his arms, causing her to subconsciously wrap her arms around his neck. “Where are you taking me to?”
“To bed.”
“I have legs, though. I can walk on my own!”
“You have to take a bath before heading to bed, so just leave this task to your husband.”
His words had rendered her speechless.
Janet’s phone, which was placed on the bedside table, rang at night.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 932
She groggily switched on her phone and took a look at it, only to realize that it was a message from the President.
The President texted, ‘Are you free today? Come over and discuss a major issue.”
Janet replied, ‘Address.’
He penned, ‘Grandiose Hotel in Sandfort City.’
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe asked, ‘Why are you here in Sandfort City?’
The President answered, ‘To investigate something. Are you free now?’
She wrote, ‘I will arrive in 30 minutes.’
He responded, ‘Alright, I will wait for you.’
Janet switched off her phone and she rolled over to glance at the man’s deeply furrowed brows. Then, she leaned closer toward him to peck his forehead.
30 minutes later, she entered through the entrance of Grandiose Hotel while wearing a black modest jacket.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryDue to the President’s special identity, she did not ask anyone to come with her.
With the room number that he gave her as a guide, she arrived at the last room of the highest floor.
All the rooms in the highest floor were reserved and a few bodyguards were standing outside in the corridor.
“Hold on.” Janet was stopped by the bodyguards outside.
She removed her hat and face mask. “It’s me.” Her voice was low and sluggish.
“Miss J’Adore, Mr. President is waiting for you inside.”
“Okay.” She nodded.
After saying that, she pushed the door open and entered the room.
Upon hearing some sound, the man, who was sitting on the couch, rose to his full height and smiled. “I’m meeting you again.”
Janet nodded and she comfortably settled on the couch. Her voice was wayward as she drawled, “What’s the purpose for asking me to come so late at night?”
“You…” Instead of answering, the President slightly frowned and asked in puzzlement. “What happened to your hand?”
She did not evade the question. “I went to Yobril yesterday and a small issue happened. It was not a big deal.”
Upon hearing that, a gleam flashed across his eyes as he asked in a seemingly playful tone, “Your man didn’t follow you?”
“Hmmm?” Janet raised her head to look at him.
The President smiled and explained, “What I meant was—if Mr. Lowry had followed you, you shouldn’t have been hurt.”
Janet did not reply but a hint of amusement flashed across her eyes. “Tell me.” She asked again. “Why did you ask me to come here at this time?”
The eyes of the President, who was sitting on the couch, darkened. “It’s still the issue about Prime Minister Welch.”
“Didn’t you say that the time limit is 6 months?” She yawned. “Is it that urgent?”
A glimmer flashed across his eyes as he adjusted his glasses and replied in a low voice, “I can afford to wait, but the Markovia’s Council of Elders can’t. Also, aren’t you worried that Prime Minister Welch’s forces would affect the MX?”
Worried? As far as I know, the Hawke Kingdom does not have the ability to harm me now. Janet curled up her lips and smiled. “I’m not worried about that. If worse came to worst, I will take him down along with me. However, Mr. President, since I have promised to do this, I surely won’t break my promise.”
Upon hearing Janet’s words, the President felt relieved and responded, “Janet, the mission to assassinate Prime Minister Welch is a secret mission. You cannot tell anyone about this.”
Looking at his nervous state, she chuckled, “Don’t worry, you won’t be involved. If it’s that urgent, send me his details. I will take action once my injury heals.”
“Details?” He seemed slightly nervous and even his tone sounded unnatural. “If I had his details, I wouldn’t have asked for your help.”
She calmly replied with hints of amusement in her tone, “If even the President Office is unable to search for any information about Prime Minister Welch, I don’t think I am able to do so.”
After all, the President Office’s methods in protecting confidentiality and its investigation of information were the best in the world.
“Stop pulling my leg. I don’t have real powers, so I have to rely on you.” The President pleaded.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 933
Since he had already said so, it would not be nice for Janet to press on. She had no choice but to nod in agreement. “Alright then. I will do it after my injury heals.”
At the Fuller Residence in Yobril, Hazel was so upset about the incident where Emily had lied to her to the point where she did not feel like attending classes.
Even though Emily called her many times during the period, she did not answer any of them.
In the end, she was so annoyed by the calls that she changed her number.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySitting on the couch, Sheldon took a sip of tea and he asked while looking at Hazel, “Are you going to stop studying in Woodsbury University? If so, I will ask Reiner to inform the principal.”
Hazel sat on the couch without replying as she felt pissed. I feel so ashamed of myself; I am mortified to even meet Janet in person!
After hesitating for a while, she snarled, “I’m not going anymore.” It’s not fun to hang out with a bunch of nerds from Sandfort City anyway. As for whether Janet is the divine doctor, time will eventually provide me with an answer.
There was a knocking sound on the door all of a sudden.
Sheldon took a glance at the time before he looked at the girl on the couch. Then, he instructed, “Hazel, leave the room.”
“Alright!” Hazel unwillingly went to the door.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryUpon opening the door, she was greeted by a woman in office wear. The said woman seemed rather young—she was probably 19 to 20 years old, but she emanated a strong aura.
Hazel left without paying attention to her.
With a professional smile, the woman entered the room and she closed the door behind her after Hazel had left.
“The International Medical Competition that you have been waiting for has finally arrived.” Sheldon pushed the documents in his hand to the woman before him.
Ever since the incident occured to Old Master Fuller, the Fuller Corporation had joined forces with the Rocher Family to form a medical team.
As a century-old family of doctors, the Rocher Family naturally knew the benefits of collaborating with the Fuller Corporation. The Fuller Corporation not only had strong assets to source for the medical equipment, but also the ability to enhance and stabilize the status of the Rocher Family in the country’s medical industry as well as the whole world.
On the other hand, what caught Sheldon’s attention was the name and reputation of the Rocher Family. He hoped that the collaboration would enable him to create the world’s strongest medical team and attract countless talents from the medical field to join them.
By then, the Fuller Corporation would be able to gain a strong foothold internationally in terms of both reputation and power.
The woman in front of him was the fifth-generation heir of the Rocher Family—her name was Melissa Rocher.
Her delicate petite face was palm-sized that was complimented by a pair of mesmerizing phoenix eyes. She had a healthy blush on her face and her body figure was of the sexy hourglass type.
Melissa flipped through the documents in her hands.
Sheldon continued, “If you manage to win the International Medical Competition, you will gain the opportunity to appear in the section which features novices of the industry in the International Medical Journal. This will be of great benefit to you and the Rocher Family.”
She had a deadpan expression, which gave nothing away. “I understand. However, do you have the list of participants for the competition?”
He raised his eyes while slightly frowning. “I am not sure. I haven’t received the list yet.”
“Alright, I understand.” Her red lips were curled upward.
The International Medical Competition, which she waited for a year, had finally arrived. I hope the outcome doesn’t disappoint me. In fact, it must not let me down. As the fifth-generation heir of the Rocher Family, I can’t afford to ruin my family’s reputation as a century-old family of doctors. Having said that, it will be difficult to look for a candidate with foundation and skills comparable to mine among the novices in the medical industry.
Melissa grinned as her mood was much better than before. “I shall take my leave first.”
“Sure.” Sheldon nodded. “This is the first collaboration between the Fuller Corporation and the Rocher Family. It’s also an opportunity for you to make your first appearance before the public. Please seize it well.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 934
Melissa calmly nodded. “I understand.” I will definitely lead the medical team that was jointly formed by the Fuller Corporation and Rocher Family to participate in the International Medical Journal with me.
Meanwhile, in Sandfort City, Janet’s extended leave was approved the next day. Although the injury on her arm had not made a full recovery, she still needed to attend classes, especially when the medicine school was about to host a practical competition or event. As a result, the students were busy with their studies.
Since almost everyone in the Woodsbury University had watched the live stream, her beautiful photos remained as one of the trending topics in Reddit and the University Forum for a few days. The scene where she said ‘what if I am Sweet Tune?’ was made into a sticker—she looked stunning and cool at that moment!
The incident instantly turned Janet into the most popular student in Woodsbury University.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe students in her class intermittently cast gazes of envy and adoration toward her.
“Oh, my God! I have never thought that Janet and Emily are biological sisters!”
“Tsk, Janet doesn’t have a younger sister like her, okay? Emily is a fake daughter of the Jackson Family. Not only did she hijack Janet’s life, she even plagiarized the latter’s composition. She is so shameless!”
“I agree. The Jackson Family has been treating Emily well enough and they even held a birthday banquet specially for her a few days ago. Who knew that something like this would happen?”
“Previously, when she was chosen by Mr. Hilbert, she was so full of herself, as if the whole world belonged to her.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I didn’t expect that the person whom Hilbert was looking for in the first place was actually Janet.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Tsk, Emily once used Janet’s drawing to become the disciple of a renowned artist before this. I thought that she had turned over a new leaf, but unexpectedly, she is still as shameless as she was even after entering the music industry.”
“I thought the reason why Janet went there was to watch the competition, but it turned out that she went there as a participant!”
“Yeah, she really did a good job in keeping it a secret from everyone.”
Abby, Sharon, Summer and the others were holding their phones while their eyes continuously flicked from Janet’s face to the person in the video.
Janet’s lips twitched and her voice reflected her helplessness. “It’s real!”
Abby shook her head. “That’s impossible…”
Sharon and Summer voiced their agreement. “I think so too.”
In resignation, Janet knocked on the heads of the three girls. “If it is fake, would everyone play along with the act? Besides, if I am not Sweet Tune, I wouldn’t have known Gordon. You guys can ask him after this.” She reached out with her hand and stroked Abby’s head.
A stunned Abby pinched her own cheeks. “Crap, it makes sense.” But, why didn’t Gordon tell me about this…
If they knew that the reason why Janet went was to participate in the competition, they would have gone to the scene to watch how she dealt with Emily.
Abby snorted in displeasure.
At that moment, one of the students suddenly asked, “Why aren’t we seeing Hazel today?”
“Hey, you are right. Could it be that she applied for leave again?”
“Perhaps it’s because she is unsatisfied with the outcome of the competition and decided to not come and study.”
“Who knows? Both Emily and her are Hilbert’s disciples. Now that Emily has caused such a mess, he will surely face some troubles on his side.”
“He’s not the only one; even the reputation of the Royal Academy of Music has been humiliated.”
The students continued to discuss among themselves.
At that moment, a man’s voice was suddenly heard from outside. “Janet.”
The voice stunned Janet for a moment before she raised her head to look outside the window—only to see that a boy was dashing toward her. “Professor Dylan Fontaine is looking for you,” he said while panting.
Professor Dylan Fontaine?
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 935
The medical school professor? Although she was studying in Woodsbury University for quite some time and had heard of Professor Dylan Fontaine, she had never met him in person. I wonder why he wants to see me.
“Alright,” she replied and headed outside.
Janet arrived at Dylan’s office and she knocked on the door. A man’s deep, husky voice was heard inside the office. “Come in.”
She pushed open the door and entered the office.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryUpon entering the office, she was greeted by a middle-aged man with a thin, slender figure wearing a pair of black glasses. He seemed amiable with an elegant bearing since it was their first meeting.
Janet walked up to Dylan and calmly asked, “Professor Fontaine, I heard that you wish to meet me?”
Dylan put down the newspaper and he appraised her while adjusting his eyeglasses. “Miss Jackson, please have a seat.”
“Thanks.”
He stated, “This is the first time that I’m meeting the top scholar of the Woodsbury University.”
Janet did not reply to him, but her lips were slightly curved up.

“The reason why I wished to meet you is to ask whether you are interested in participating in the International Medical Competition for Novice.”
As the name suggested, the participants of the International Medical Competition for Novice were all new members of the medical field. Most of the participants were novices selected from universities or medical teams.
As the medical school of Woodsbury University was the representative for all the institutions of higher learning in Sandfort City, it would only be natural for the university to participate in the competition.
Since Janet was the top scholar of the university as well as a student from the medical school at the same time, Dylan naturally had high hopes for her.
Nonetheless, she seemed uninterested and asked, “Is it a competition specially for novices?”
Dylan nodded. “Yes. The winner of the competition might gain the opportunity to appear in the International Medical Journal as well as participate in the surgeries and researches of internationally renowned doctors. Therefore, this is a golden opportunity for a novice like you.”
All the novices who wished to further their career in the medical field internationally would never miss the opportunity.
Even if she did not manage to win the competition, getting the opportunity to make an appearance at the competition would benefit her.
“I understand the benefits. However, I am not interested in a competition for novices,” Janet calmly stated.
Her words made him stunned for a few seconds. Not interested in a competition for novices? Could it be that she doesn’t wish to enter the international medical field? Or perhaps she looks down on a competition that is specially for new members of the field?
Dylan could not make head or tail of Janet’s mind at that moment.
As he did not wish for her to give up on the golden opportunity on impulse, he explained, “Miss Jackson, don’t you know how many novices long to gain the opportunity to join the competition? You don’t have to feel ashamed even if you fail to win the competition. No matter how strong or smart you are, there will always be someone who is stronger and smarter than you are. You merely join to make an appearance before the public, which will greatly benefit you in your future in the medical field. Speaking of which, the panel judges this round includes the people from the Medical Research Institute of Markovia—this is the first time the people from this research institute have ever made an appearance!”
Janet yawned, which made it obvious that she was uninterested. “Professor Fondaine, I—”
“Don’t quickly reject the offer. Do take your time to consider; otherwise, it would put the university in a spot!”
There were numerous eyes watching the Woodsbury University Medical School. If they were not able to send even one candidate, it would be humiliating.
“Okay, I understand,” She replied before asking with a deadpan voice. “I am too busy; I really can’t make it for the competition. How about I recommend some candidates?”
Seeing that Janet really had no interest in the competition at all, he resignedly shook his head. “Forget it; it’s fine.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 936
Maybe she would change her mind since there is still some time before the competition.
Janet glanced at her watch before she nonchalantly stated, “Professor Fontaine, I shall take my leave then.”
“Alright.” The resigned Dylan had no choice but to rise to his full height and see her to the door.
Right after she stepped out of his office, a voice rang. “Janet, you finally came out.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“What’s the matter?” She paused in her steps with her brows slightly furrowed.
The person, who came to convey a message, was so excited that he almost danced with joy. “A few persons-in-charge of the music agencies have arrived at our university. They are currently waiting for you at the entrance of the medical school.”
The news rendered her speechless. “I understand. I will head over now.”
Their conversation was overheard by Dylan, who was inside the office. Propping both hands on the office desk, he let out a sigh. If Janet is willing to put the same amount of attention she has for the entertainment industry in the medical field, a new legend would be born. It’s such a pity! She seems to have a lack of interest in the medical field, so why did she choose to study medicine then?
At the same time, at the entrance of the medical school, students of Woodsbury University, who had just calmed down from the shock of learning that Janet was Miss Sweet Tune, burst into an uproar again.
The students in the class were envious of her. “Oh, my God! One is International Glacier Music and the other one is International Kings Music!”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Yeah, I heard that these two music companies are competitors!”
“That’s true! Walter and Gordon are under International Kings Music. I wonder if Janet would choose to work under them as well.”
“I am sure she will choose International Kings Music since the three of them were once study partners.”
“In that case, International Glacier Music will have to return empty-handed?”
“Sigh, I envy her a lot. If Janet rejects their offer, I am more than willing to take her spot and accept it.”
“You? Can you even play the piano?”
While the rowdy students were immersed in their discussions, the two persons-in-charge who came to the university were at each other’s throats. The person-in-charge of International Glacier Music glared as he stormed, “F*ck you! Gordon and Walter are under your company now, yet you are going to snatch Sweet Tune away from us?”
The person-in-charge of International Kings Music coldly snorted and sneered, “Since you have mentioned that Walter and Gordon are under us, why should Sweet Tune join your company?”
Upon hearing his words of mockery, the person-in-charge of International Glacier Music could not help but scoff, “Haha, the only few capable talents your company has are Gordon and Walter and the rest are losers. So, it is obvious that you would wish to get Sweet Tune to support your company.”
The unrelenting person-in-charge of International Kings Music refuted, “What does that have to do with your pathetic company? Quickly return and manage your company’s artists so that they won’t embarrass themselves in front of the public.”
“What do you mean by ‘pathetic company’? The renowned International Glacier Music is not a place for nobody like you to humiliate!”
The two of them crossed swords and it nearly escalated into a fight. Upon seeing the commotion, the students at the scene could not help but crane their heads to silently watch the show.
At that moment, a cold, nonchalant female voice suddenly rang from behind. “Please excuse me.”
Upon hearing that, the persons-in-charge of International Glacier Music and International Kings Music turned in the direction of the sound in unison. The moment they saw Janet, the anger boiling in them gradually subsided.
“Sweet Tune, you are finally here!”
“Oh, my God! I finally get to meet you after a long wait.”
The persons-in-charge of International Glacier Music and International Kings Music were desperate to butter her up.
Janet’s footsteps came to a halt. She sluggishly leaned against the wall while asking in a monotone voice, “What’s your purpose for wanting to meet me?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 937
The person-in-charge of International Glacier Music seemed excited. “Miss Sweet Tune, do you have any intention to make a comeback and sign a contract with a company? You are free to choose whichever resources that catches your eye in International Glacier Music.”
The person-in-charge of the International Kings Music piped up, “Empty promises are worth nothing! Miss Sweet Tune, both Gordon and Walter are under our company. Please consider us.”
The representative for the International Glacier Music then coldly snorted and mocked, “A certain company only has Gordon and Walter and the rest are losers. What sort of benefit will they be able to provide to you?”
The person-in-charge of International Kings Music rolled his eyes at him, but his enthusiasm was not weakened—even by the slightest. “Miss Sweet Tune, you don’t have to mind a certain company; they can’t even attract Walter and Gordon to work with them. I think that it is a case of sour grapes.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet gently raised her attractive eyes. “I am not going to make a comeback, so I have no intention to sign a contract with any company.”
In essence, her words were a rejection of both their offers.
The person-in-charge of International Glacier Music stared at Janet with wide eyes as he exclaimed in shock, “Miss Sweet Tune, could it be that the ‘Untitled’ that you played on stage during the competition was your final piece?”
The person-in-charge of International Kings Music also stared at her with his eyes widened as well while eagerness and excitement filled his eyes.
Janet cast a glance at the two of them. With her brows slightly raised, she calmly replied, “That’s the case for now.”
For now? In other words, she may change her mind on whether she’ll make a comeback or not. Is it in the nature of individuals with outstanding talents to be capricious?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryLooking at the two men, who were frozen by her words, her pink lips parted. “What’s wrong? You guys should leave.”
Although it was the clear voice of a girl, it sounded incredibly cold and powerful at that instant.
The moods of the persons-in-charge of International Kings Music and International Glacier Music instantly took a nosedive; they nodded and left with their tails between their legs.
After they had left, Janet entered the classroom.
“Janet, you rejected the offers of both companies?”
The students seemed interested in that.
She nodded without saying anything, which then induced a wave of envious voices from the students.
“Tsk, bigshots are free to do whatever they want.”
“Speaking of which, why did Professor Dylan Fontaine ask you to meet him?”
Although Professor Dylan Fontaine was a lecturer in Woodsbury University, he seldom showed up in the university as he spent most of his time presenting talks or performing surgeries off campus. He usually returned to the university only to carry out medical research work.
However, they did not hear that there was any medical research work being recently carried out in Woodsbury University.
Janet raised her eyes and impassively answered, “For the International Medical Competition.”
“Did Professor Fontaine recommend you to participate in it?”
“Yeah.”
The few people at the scene were dumbfounded by her words.
“F*ck！Professor Fontaine is so unfair; he actually allows you to take the shortcut.”
Although they said so, there was not even the slightest hint of jealousy in their tone; instead, it was filled with envy.
Upon hearing that, Janet curved up the corner of her lips and calmly added, “But, I didn’t say that I am going to participate.”
“Huh?” As soon as she said that, the few people at the scene were obviously more astonished. Why?
Participants of the International Medical Competition would not only gain the opportunity to make an appearance in front of the public. Since the Medical Research Institute in Markovia was part of the judging panel this time around, the participants would also earn the chance of meeting the institute’s representatives.
On top of that, rumors had it that the legendary divine doctor was also one of the panel of judges.
Nevertheless, those were merely rumors without any guarantee of accuracy; the truth would only be revealed on the day of the competition.
Nonetheless, obtaining the opportunity to make an appearance in the International Medical Competition was already a dream come true for everyone in the medical field.
Of course, if one was able to be the champion of the competition, it would bring honor to that person’s university.
There were hundreds of medical students in Woodsbury University fighting to obtain one of the two available slots to participate in the competition; that would result in an extremely low probability of being chosen. Therefore, when Dylan personally recommended Janet to join the competition, why did she reject the opportunity?
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 938
One of the students exclaimed, “Janet, this is an excellent opportunity for you to show how capable you are! Unless, of course, you don’t plan on practicing medicine on an international level.”
Upon hearing that, another student chimed in mournfully, “You can’t be serious. What’s the point of enduring medical school if you aren’t going to practice internationally?”
When it came to university courses, it went without saying that medicine was one of the toughest fields to enrol in. The required amount of work and dedication surpassed those of other courses and one would not be cut out for medicine if the person lacked determination.
Janet slowly responded, “I’m not saying that I’ll be giving up on practicing medicine internationally. I just won’t be participating in the competition this year, that’s all.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Well, what else is there for you to occupy yourself with? It would be a shame if you let an opportunity like this slip away this year!”
Everyone else seemed more anxious than she was.
While they would like to join the competition, they knew that Janet was the brightest among them. She was the top scholar, after all, and there was no one else better than her to participate in the International Medicine Competition.
Janet, on the other hand, appeared reticent.
When everyone saw her stubborn disposition and the irritated look on her face, they decided to let the matter slide. “We won’t pester you about it anymore, Janet, but you should at least think about it. Even if we lose out on a spot to enter the competition ourselves, we still think it’d be a shame if you don’t sign up for it.”
She was stoic as she hummed in response. Then, she propped her chin on her hand and gazed at the scenery outside the window.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySeeing that Janet was unable to participate in the competition, she did not spend much time lamenting about her decision.
As expected, her phone rang when the last class of the afternoon ended. She glanced down and saw that it was a call she had been expecting.
“You guys can go ahead without me,” Janet said to Abby as a smile played on her lips.
When Abby noticed that, she drawled knowingly, “I know, I know.”
Sharon and Summer teased in between giggles, “We get it too! Run along to your boyfriend then.”
Drowned in their chorus of teasing, Janet could not help but blush as she slung her bag over her shoulder and quipped, “Okay, you guys. I’m leaving now.”
She was speaking on the phone with Mason while she walked toward the school entrance when she ran into a familiar face.
Slightly narrowing her eyes, she briefly informed Mason what happened before she hung up.
Megan’s eyes flashed when she saw Janet. Then, she hurried over to greet Janet. “Are you done with classes, Janet?”
The other girl merely hummed in response with a stoic face.
“Come on, I’ll take you home. Your bedroom has been tidied up and ready for you.”
With that, Megan moved forward to help Janet with her bag.
Janet dodged Megan’s movement while she retorted stiffly, “I didn’t say I’m going back..”
Upon hearing that, Megan fell silent; the words she was about to say crumbled on the tip of her tongue.
Staring at the kind and enthusiastic woman before her, all Janet felt was a strange sense of detachment and annoyance.
Megan dug her nails into her palms and she pleaded in a pained voice, “Janet, there’s no way that Emily will ever be coming back. You are the Jackson family’s only daughter from now on.”
“And then what? Do you honestly think that a broken mirror could be fixed in one day?”
The silence that ensued was deafening and the air around them went still.
A dumbfounded Megan gaped at her. Is there no way for us to fix this? Is she never going to forgive me for the hurt I’ve caused her in the past?
“Janet, unlike broken mirrors, kinship can always be fixed.”
“Oh.” Janet’s lips curved up into a sneer and she let out a bitter laugh as she countered. “But, I don’t feel like fixing it anymore.”
She remembered the sense of longing that she had felt when she first left the Wallace Residence—she wanted to know the true meaning of kinship too.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 939
However, it was only after she arrived at the Jackson Family that she realized how faded and fragile kinship could be.
“I understand that it takes time to fix something like this,” Megan admitted as she nodded her head with a forlorn expression.
She twisted her fingers as she felt her heart shatter into pieces. However, the heartache and desperation she felt now was different from when Emily had left. Perhaps it was because Janet was her biological daughter. Blood runs thicker than water after all, she figured.
Janet, on the other hand, raised a brow and said nothing. Then, she strode toward the black Maybach that was idling outside the school entrance.

She hurriedly reached out to grab Janet’s hand.
Janet looked back and asked coldly, “Is there anything else?”
Seeing as Megan took the initiative to offer the olive branch, she felt the need to tell Janet what Emily had told her. So, she asked, “Janet, Emily told me about your relationship with Mason Lowry of the Lowry Family Conglomerate. Is that true?”
There were only three black Maybachs in Sandfort City, one of which was owned by Mason Lowry of the Lowry Family Conglomerate. Piecing this piece of information together with what Emily had told her, Megan only grew more suspicious.
Upon hearing that, Janet merely raised a brow in amusement. So, this was the dirt that Emily has on me all along? How ridiculous!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWith a smirk, she drawled nonchalantly, “I don’t think that’s any of your business. Even if it is, it wouldn’t get in the way of the Jackson Family.”
Don’t the Jacksons care about reputation more than anything else? Isn’t that why Megan is here—trying to make sure that I’m not going to ruin their reputation?
With that in mind, Janet pulled away from the other woman and she shoved her hands into her pockets. She then continued to walk toward the black Maybach.
As Megan watched her leaving and fading from view, she felt her heart wrench in despair.
She failed as a mother! She had spent nineteen years loving a daughter that was not her own. When her biological daughter came to the Jackson Family, she had despised the latter without any reason.
As it turned out, Emily, whom she had doted on for nineteen years, had duped her and her only biological daughter pretended as though she did not exist.
She was perhaps the most absurd mother on the planet.
Megan heaved a sigh. She did not know how she was supposed to make it up to Janet.
Meanwhile, after entering the car, the man next to Janet scooted over and asked, “Who was that just now?”
“You mean the woman whom I was talking to?”
“Yes.” The car was parked too far away for him to have a proper look at the person.
Janet raised her brow and answered plainly, “The Mistress of the Jackson Family.”
“Do you mean your mother?”
She did not answer this time as she merely nodded in response.
Mason’s eyes flashed and narrowed. “Why was she looking for you all of a sudden?”
“To ask me to return home,” she replied wearily.
Mason frowned in thought and his lips pressed into a grim line as he pressed on, “So, are you going back?”
Janet gave him a look of amusement as she let out a small laugh. “Do you want to get rid of me so badly?”
However, Mason only stared at her in silence.
After a pause, she took out her phone and began to scroll through her messages. She looked and sounded unfazed as she added, “Just so you know, I’m sticking around for good.”
He abruptly reached out to press one of the buttons in the car and within seconds, the entire backseat was divided from the front by a black partition.
Before Janet could say anything, Mason moved toward her and pinned her down against the seat. He smiled roguishly while his eyes narrowed into mischievous slits as he said, “I was just going to say that there’s no way I’m going to let you return there.”
“How domineering of you,” she mused as she bit on her lip. Then, she burst into a fit of giggles and her eyes lit up with humor. He gazed at her, noting how warm and endearing she looked in that moment.
Her pink lower lip was wet and glistening from where she had bitten it, looking every bit as delicious as a freshly-picked cherry.
No longer able to control himself, Mason did not think twice before leaning in to kiss her.
The heat and passion that entailed left Janet breathless. She reached up and pushed his chest, while glaring at him as she demanded, “Can’t you take things slowly?”

How could a man be turned on with such ease?
Mason stared longingly at her lips as they parted and closed soundlessly, as though it was tempting him to take a bite. He swallowed convulsively before he said hoarsely, “I skipped lunch to finish work earlier and come to see you. Do you really think I can take things slow right now?”
Upon hearing that, Janet clicked her tongue. She pressed her hand against his chest to keep him from edging any closer before she plainly responded, “In that case, we should get lunch, shouldn’t we?”
His gaze trailed down from her pink lips to the soft, fair skin of her nape, whereupon he saw the faded marks that were left from their endeavors last night.

Janet saw the lustful look in his eyes and she asked flatly, “What should we have for lunch, little satyr?”
Little satyr? He narrowed his eyes at the phrase and demanded in a low voice, “What do you mean by ‘little satyr’?”
Mason knew exactly what ‘satyr’ meant—it was good as she calling him a s*x addict.
However, Janet smiled at him and answered innocently, “It’s another way of saying that you’re adorable.”
“Is it?” Mason feigned seriousness as he looked at her darkly.

Nonetheless, she maintained an unfazed countenance as she repeated, “I’m serious. What do you feel like having for lunch?”
“You.”
As soon as he said that, he took her hands and pinned them above her head.
He did so in an almost animalistic manner and it dawned upon her that he was well aware of what she meant when she called him a satyr.
I’ve been tricked! Janet felt a wave of resignation wash over her as Mason kissed and nibbled at the soft skin of her neck.
While the backseat of the Maybach was considerably spacious, there simply was not enough room for their heated and passionate venture. Janet could not help but let out a soft cry of pain when she felt Mason’s elbow dig into her arm.
Her cries pulled him back to his senses. He then looked down at her with concern swimming in his eyes. “What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?”
Janet nodded meekly. “Just a bit.”
When he heard that, he rose up and pulled her into his lap. He held her tenderly as he spoke in a pained voice, “I’m sorry, Janet. I won’t do it again.”
Janet broke into a laugh at the sight of his guilt-ridden and distressed expression; her shoulders shuddered from the effort of containing herself.
Mason blinked. When he realized what was going on, he went from looking incredulous to devilish in seconds. “Were you merely joking?”
“Yes,” she answered, openly laughing at him.
He took a breath before he buried his face in her neck as he responded hoarsely, “I really thought that I hurt you.”
Her skin tingled when she felt his warm breath on her neck and cheeks.
Janet suppressed a shudder before she softly responded, “You’ll just have to be gentle with me.”
“Be good. I won’t touch you for now,” Mason replied lovingly.
She gaped at him. Who is going to relieve me of the frustration now?
For the first time in her life, she wanted to shoot herself in the foot.
It was dinner time at the Lowry Residence, but Janet did not join Mason at the dining table. Instead, she walked over to the backyard to enjoy the evening breeze.
Without her next to him at dinner, he was beginning to grow irritated and bored.
Janet was currently playing with the wolves in the cage—or more accurately, she was actually teasing them.
He narrowed his eyes and shot a disgruntled look toward the wolf pup, who looked tame.
“Janet,” Mason called out.
However, she did not respond as she continued to scratch the pup behind the ears.
The pup nuzzled its face against hers, looking as comfortable as if she was one of its own.
Mason watched the scene with resentment. It was one thing for her to miss dinner with him, but it was an entirely different thing when she decided to spend her time making other male creatures fawn over her.
“Janet,” he called once more as he unhappily raised his voice.
