Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 971
The medicine students’ jaws all dropped open. In fact, their mouths opened so wide that they could even swallow an egg. In short, all of them were speechless.
When Melissa turned around and saw that she got second place, she blanched immediately and there was not even a trace of blood left in her face.
I didn’t get full marks…
It’s Janet who got full marks…
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryI’m the fifth-generation descendant of the Rocher Family, yet I lost to a commoner.
Janet didn’t even undergo any training before the competition, yet she can get full marks.
On the other hand, Sharon’s expression froze when she looked at the live stream on the screen in front of her. Then, she looked at Black Python as if she was confirming with him if she was seeing the results correctly.
However, he gave her an affirmative glance that seemed to say, “That’s right. It’s exactly what you’re seeing.”
The host froze for a few seconds on stage and it was only after a while that he announced, “And the winner of the International Medicine Competition is Janet Jackson!”
With that, everyone in the hall stood up, probably feeling excited yet incredulous about this result.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryMelissa merely stared at the screen fixedly with a dark expression on her delicate face.
Unable to withstand the blow and the mental impact, she bit her lip flusteredly and left the hall under everyone’s gazes.
Great. Now everyone in Yobril knows that I lost to a university student in Sandfort City.
I don’t even know how to tell Father about this.
It can be said that the reputation of the entire Rocher Family is ruined in my hands.
If I knew about her strength before, I wouldn’t have looked down on her and given the first place away.
After the winner was announced, Janet did not stay on stage. Instead, she walked backstage.
Looking at her leaving figure, the host kindly reminded, “Janet, we still have the prize giving ceremony. Please stay back.”
“Professor Fontaine can collect it on my behalf,” Janet replied with indifferent eyes and a face that was void of expression.
Standing below the stage, Professor Fontaine blinked in surprise.
What does Janet mean?
Isn’t it slightly inappropriate for me to collect this prize?
After thinking about it, even though he did not train Janet before the competition, he was still a professor of Woodsbury University. This honor belonged to the university as well.
Woodsbury University has got a treasure now.
As the substitute contestant, many people did not expect Janet to perform well, but those people were obviously wrong about it after the results were announced.
Even though Janet was just a first year university student, she was more talented than a descendant of the family who practiced medicine for generations.
On the other hand, in a small rented room that was dimly lit, a woman clenched her fists tightly.
During this period, Emily had been keeping up with Janet’s news.
Currently, there were many posts about Janet on the forum of Woodsbury University.
As it was an international competition, Janet became popular in the university once again.
What about me? I’m nobody, Emily thought to herself.
Ever since she was chased out from the Jackson Family, she had to look for jobs to earn a living. However, slightly reputable studios and universities did not want to hire her at all.
She also submitted her resume to Woodsbury University to be their piano teacher, as this could sustain her livelihood. Apart from that, she could also spy on Janet at the same time, but the human resource department did not even give her a chance.
It’s all Janet’s fault! Without her, I don’t even need to worry about the basics of life and I would still be the second Young Miss of the Jackson Family, as well as a pianist.
The more Emily thought about it, the angrier she became. It came to the point that the fury within her was about to explode out of her.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 972
She wanted to report to Woodsbury University and the police that Janet cheated money out of the Fuller Family, but Emily did not have any evidence. Apart from that, Janet was a popular person at this moment.
How will the police and Woodsbury University believe me?
She wanted to tell J’Adore that Janet was the mistress of her boyfriend, but Emily did not have the evidence for that and she could not even meet J’Adore. Hence, Emily had no way to let J’Adore know.
Janet is just a fraud and a mistress, but why is her life better than mine?
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryEmily bit her lips harshly. She only slowly let it go when her lips started to turn purple.
On the other hand, after Melissa walked down the stage, Sheldon followed her immediately.
He quickly walked over and stopped her. “There’s no need to be angry. The competition can’t prove anything and you don’t have to see Janet as your competitor.”
Melissa’s eyes narrowed as she replied indifferently, “You thought too much into it. I won’t treat such competitions as important.”
“Good. Opportunities like these are everywhere! By the way, there’s a mission in Yobril, and I hope you can grab this opportunity as the reward is one billion.”
“One billion?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryMelissa sounded excited. “Are you sure?”
The Rocher Family would work with the Fuller Family—Sheldon would supply the resources, including various apparatus and manpower, while the Rocher Family just had to complete it to get half of the money.
Out of the one billion, she would be able to get 500 million.
Of course, such an assumption was built on the fact that they could complete the mission.
Sheldon nodded. “Yeah.”
“What experiment is it?”
Sheldon shook his head. “I haven’t looked at it, but I will forward the documents to you after I go back. Take some time to think about it. Remember, the medical team in Fuller Corporation is at your service.”
This sentence from him made Melissa feel that she was at least somewhat useful. Hence, she nodded and murmured, “Sure. We’ll discuss this again.”
After Janet walked down the stage, she went to Sharon’s lounge immediately.
At this moment, Sharon had completely recovered, and the private plane from Woodsbury University was about to send them back to Sandfort City.
After taking the prize, Dylan immediately went to find Janet.
Looking at the busy room, he placed the trophy in front of him happily, but he pretended to be mature and calm. “Miss Jackson.”
Meanwhile, Janet was listening to Abby and Sharon’s jokes but when she heard his voice, she walked over to him.
“Professor Fontaine.”
“This is your trophy.” Dylan passed it to her with a wide smile on his face. “You’ve done Woodsbury University proud today!”
Janet curved her lips without saying another word.
“Go on; take it!” Dylan placed the trophy in her hands.
However, Janet pushed it away. “Can you please bring it back to Woodsbury University for me?”
My room has no spot for a trophy like this anymore.
Dylan let out a shocked exclamation.
At this moment, the trophy was like a hot metal in his hands.
I’m not so thick-skinned as to take her trophy!
Seeing that he was about to reject her, Janet said gently, “Since you said that I’ve done Woodsbury University proud, let’s place it in the laboratory at the university.”
With that, Dylan smiled and nodded. “That makes sense. After everyone sees this trophy, I’m sure they will work harder.”
If only everyone in Woodsbury University is like Janet.
Right after he thought about this, he shook his head immediately.
If everyone is like her, then my position as the professor will soon be replaced by them.
Janet hummed in agreement and walked away.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 973
“By the way, you have to stay here for a few more days. The organizer is planning to bring you to meet a few big shots, and you have a shoot for the International Medical Journal too.”
Janet grunted after she was blocked by him.
Dylan frowned immediately. “Why? You don’t want that?”
Janet nodded lazily as she stood there. “I’m just a substitute contestant so I don’t want to shoot.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryIf this news gets to the old fellows in Markovia’s Medical Research Institute, they are going to say that I’m bullying young blood again.
“That won’t do.” Dylan shook his head. “This is an opportunity that many hope for, yet only a few can get it. You can’t let this slip past you!”
Janet was speechless upon hearing that.
She smiled helplessly as she said, “I really can’t. I already bought plane tickets for that evening.”
Seeing her determined look, Dylan sighed and stopped speaking.
Oh—she’s so wilful!
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThis is such a good opportunity!
And so, after getting first place in the International Medicine Competition, Janet went back to Sandfort City with the team without taking the trophy or joining the shoot for the magazine.
Upon her return to Sandfort City, she planned to investigate Prime Minister Welch from the Hawke Kingdom.
She also wondered why Mason did not contact her for the past few days.
Usually, he would call her a few times each day.
However, Janet did not brood on this for too long. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard a notification from her phone.
As it was a special tone, she immediately determined that it was international news.
She took her phone out from her pocket lazily to look at the notification.
Sure enough, there were several unread messages showing on the screen from Corey.
Corey asked, ‘J’Adore, I can’t wait anymore. When are you going to take action?’
‘I went to Yobril for some business and I’m heading back to Sandfort City now.’
‘What kind of business?’
‘Just a medicine competition. By the way, why did you suddenly become so anxious about this?’
‘Nothing much; it’s just a reminder.’
‘Alright.’
After Janet replied to the last message, she fell asleep immediately.
Meanwhile in Markovia, Corey was holding his phone tightly in his hands in a dark underground basement.
Initially, he thought that the previous two assassination attempts were perfect. After all, the presidential system was the strongest—even J’Adore would find it difficult to attack it. However, the system suddenly had some problems over the past few days, and Prime Minister Welch from the Hawke Kingdom was not lazing around either. He suddenly came to Markovia and even though he did not do anything, Corey was so anxious about it to the point where he could not sleep well.
If Mason finds out about me, based on his relationship with J’Adore, he will definitely tell her.
If she can’t bear to kill him because of their relationship, I’ll be the next person to die.
Right now, it seems that both J’Adore and Mason are becoming problems to me!
If J’Adore misses this time, her identity could very well be revealed.
For the past few days, Corey had been looking into Mason’s background. After all, it was not difficult to do so using the presidential system.
Based on his understanding, when Mason was trained by the Lowry Family, he once took ten of the deadliest poisons in the world to control himself.
Because his body was strong enough, he withstood the poison well.
Mason’s goal to control himself has already been achieved, so the antibodies within him must be different from others. If I can find out a virus to deal with his body type specifically, I can even control Mason.
After controlling him, I can control J’Adore too. At that time, it would not just be the Hawke Kingdom; even if I want J’Adore’s power, it won’t be any problem!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 974
Corey’s eyes narrowed as they flickered.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
He put down his phone and took a deep breath before saying in a low voice, “Come in.”
In no time, a man in black walked into the room and spoke next to his ear. “I’ve already published the mission list. Everyone in the medical field is eyeing this piece of nice reward.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryCorey nodded in satisfaction. It’s definitely worth it to spend one billion for a virus that could control one’s body.
He then said indifferently, “After some time, let me see these people.”
He wanted to hand this mission to someone he could trust.
The man in black nodded. “Understood.”
Meanwhile, the private plane of Woodsbury University had finally touched down on Sandfort City.
As there were a few days of holiday for those from the medicine department, they were not in a hurry to get back to university.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QuerySome went back to their hometowns, while others played around.
After walking out of the airport, Janet looked at Black Python calmly. “Send Sharon back.”
Upon hearing that, he let out a grunt.
Janet arched her eyebrows and looked at him before she spoke in a slightly teasing tone. “Why? You don’t want to?”
Before he could reply, however, Sharon waved her hands. “It’s alright. I can go back on my own.”
“Why don’t Summer and I send you back?” Abby winked as she asked this question.
Sharon merely smiled. “It’s not on your way home though.”
With that, a male’s voice rang behind her. “Miss Nathan, why don’t we go back together? Your house is along the way.”
Sharon turned around to look at him. Sure enough, they lived close to each other—she even met him a few times when she was going to university or coming back home.
She nodded before she looked at Janet and the rest. “Alright. I’ll make a move then.”
With that, she turned around to start walking with her coursemate.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by someone, so she turned around in confusion.
“Let’s go,” Black Python muttered without any expression on his face. “I’ll send you home.”
Upon hearing that, Sharon exclaimed in surprise.
With a slightly displeased look on his face, he frowned and spoke unhappily. “What’s wrong? Do you not want to? Or do you want to go back with someone else?”
His tone sounded as if he was interrogating her. At that moment, she did not know how to reply to him.
Standing at the same spot with a bag slung over one of her shoulders, Janet laughed lazily. “Alright, alright. Sharon, just go back with Black Python. As for you, Black Python, be more gentle with her.”
He turned around awkwardly and smiled at Janet without speaking. However, he still shot a glance at Sharon, as if he was telling her to get going quickly.
Janet laughed again without uttering another word.
“Janet, I’ll go back with Summer now.” Abby waved to her cutely.
Janet smiled back at her with adoration in her eyes. “Alright. Have a safe trip; let me know if anything happens.”
Both Abby and Summer nodded before leaving in a cab they hailed.
After all the medicine students left, a nondescript black Rolls Royce came to a stop at the side of the road.
Janet’s eyes narrowed before she directly opened the door of the backseat.
Just as she stepped into the car, she heard a cold and familiar woman’s voice.
“Janet, have you seen my message?”
Janet raised her head and looked at Lara before she gently hummed in agreement.
She knew the content of the message as well.
Prime Minister Welch from the Hawke Kingdom suddenly announced internally that he was going to attend an auction in Barnsford, but they had no idea why he decided to do this.
Usually, Prime Minister Hawke kept a very low profile.
It was obviously unusual now that he suddenly announced that he was about to attend a public event.
“Lara, do you think something’s off?”
Lara nodded casually. “It is unusual.”
“That’s what I thought,” Janet replied, smiling excitedly.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 975
“Janet,” Lara sounded hesitant. “You can’t be serious about going, right?”
Janet kept quiet when she heard that.
After a long pause, she finally drawled, “Why shouldn’t I go?”
“Janet, you are walking into the lion’s den!” Lara was clearly agitated as she thought to herself, I can’t just sit around and let Janet take the risk.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Don’t worry. I shall accept my fate if I were to die in their hands so easily.” Janet had a casual tone, but she sounded slightly evil too. The risks are high but the chances of winning are equally high.
Her gaze was bottomless and unreadable; it was almost impossible to guess her thoughts. I finally have information on Prime Minister Welch. How can I not show up since he is about to escape right under my nose? In any case, if I fail to assassinate him, I do not have the right to call myself Shadow 1 of the world of assassination.
Lara knew that Janet would not budge after deciding on an issue, so she stopped advising against the latter’s decision. “By the way, somebody from Markovia posted a mission which is worth a billion. Are you interested?” she asked.
“Nope.” Janet shook her head without missing a beat.
Lara sighed. “I haven’t even informed you what the mission is about.”
Janet squinted at her without saying anything.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query
“It is a research project, but I have no idea what it is about.” Lara also heard about that from those within the industry. That being said, she was not concerned about whether that was the only aspect of the mission.
Janet observed the scenery outside through the window while answering in a flat tone, “A billion in funds is normal if it is a research project.” Currently, a billion isn’t tempting enough for me. The only thing I want is to accomplish my mission as soon as possible to stop Corey from pestering me further.
It was late at night when Janet walked into the living room of the Lowry Residence while carrying a single-strap bag.
She confirmed that there was no one around after scanning her surroundings.
Suddenly, a servant appeared behind her while greeting her with a smile. “Miss Jackson, you’re back.”
Janet hummed in reply. “Where is your master?”
The servant pointed up the stairs. “Young Master Mason is upstairs.”
Is he asleep? Why is he sleeping so early, though? That’s out of the ordinary. Janet took her single-strap bag up the stairs. Then, she knocked on the master bedroom door while wearing a blank expression.
She continued knocking for some time, but nobody opened the door for her.
In the end, she sneaked into the room.
She saw Mason lying in bed, a sheen of cold sweat on his forehead. He was currently curled up tightly underneath the quilt.
Janet panicked right away and she rushed forward to check on him.
Mason woke up the moment she touched his hand and he looked at her, his gaze vigilant.
Janet regarded him while speaking to him reassuringly, “It’s me.”
After making out that it was Janet, Mason called out for her weakly, “Babe.”
His breath felt scorching hot and Janet’s cheek blushed automatically.
The heat feels abnormal. Janet reached out to touch Mason’s forehead and her gaze flashed with anxiety. “Are you running a fever?”
Mason grunted softly. Then, he sat up to wrap his arms around her while burying his head against her shoulder. “Yeah,” he answered simply.
Mason had been busy the past few days when Janet left for Yobril. He went to Markovia and due to insufficient rest and low morale, he found himself coming down with a cold upon returning to Sandfort City.
“I’ll get some medication for your fever.” Janet wanted to stand up after saying that.
However, Mason grabbed onto her waist in a hurry and hugged her tightly. “Don’t leave me,” he mumbled softly.
Janet lowered her head to look at him.
The sweat on Mason’s forehead was reducing, but his body was still heating up.
“Please, lie down. I’ll be back soon,” answered Janet.
Alright then.” Mason released her unwillingly.
After a while…
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 976
Janet entered while carrying a first-aid kit. “We need to take your temperature.” She spoke to Mason gently while placing the thermometer in his mouth.
He was extremely weak right now and he could not resist her. Hence, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. He is running a fever. In fact, he’s running a very high temperature; 39°C to be exact.
Janet stared at the reading on the thermometer and her expression darkened. She looked especially somber at that moment as she muttered, “Why are you running such a high temperature all of a sudden?” She recalled that Mason had not been in contact with her for the past few days, so she drew a conclusion. “Were you too busy with your company?”
Mason shook his head while smiling at her. “I fell sick because I missed you too much,” he teased.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHis fever is quite serious, and I can’t believe he’s still in the mood for jokes when he’s so ill, Janet thought to herself, feeling dumbfounded by his responses. She then took out some medication for his fever from the first-aid kit. “Take this.”
Mason kept quiet without answering her, but he swallowed the pill obediently. Seeing as he was so compliant, Janet took out a towel from the bathroom to place it in his hand. “Wipe your body and you’ll feel better soon.”
Mason smiled at her faintly and he reached out to grab her petite hands. “Why don’t you help me with that, babe?”
Janet was at a loss for words when she heard that. She did not answer him but Mason pouted at her, all the while looking especially sorry for himself. In the end, Janet surrendered since she had no choice, and she helped him wipe his body.
Mason’s body was emitting heat and when Janet came into contact with his skin by accident, she felt as though she might be scalded by his body. She finally paused when she arrived at his private parts.
Mason looked down while wearing a pitiful but mischievous expression. “You have to wipe everywhere meticulously to make sure that I get well quickly.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryJanet was rendered speechless by his response. Is he taking advantage of me? She took away the towel while directly ignoring those parts. Then, she turned around to go into the bathroom and threw an order over her shoulder, “Sleep.”
Mason couldn’t help but smile when he saw her back view, as though she was escaping from him. Finally, he shut his eyes slowly.
When Janet walked out of the bathroom, she saw Mason lying in bed obediently. She lifted up his blanket to press herself against his chest, trying to sooth him by using her own body temperature. Mason’s lips curled into a faint smile and he tightened his arms around Janet.
It was in the middle of the night and after taking the medication and sweating it out, Mason’s fever had completely subsided before dawn, thanks to his strong physique. He shifted Janet from his embrace onto the bed carefully, but his movements woke her up straight away.
She opened her eyes slightly, only to see Mason smiling at her. “Sleep; I’m going to take a shower.”
Janet nodded and she hugged the pillow, falling asleep once more.
Fifteen minutes later, Mason walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. He then walked over to the bed and sat by the bedside. Mason observed Janet holding onto a pillow, her loose pajamas exposing her smooth and fair skin.
It feels like ages since I’ve last seen her, not to mention that it has been torture for the past three days. No matter how strong Mason’s self-control was, he felt it crumbling before the woman he loved. He kissed her tentatively and his movements were gentle and tender, as though he was protective of her. His lips were cool and soft, and it woke Janet up.
She was stunned to silence for a few seconds before she pushed against Mason’s chest. “Are you recovered?” Janet sounded breathless.
Mason held her chin and he nibbled her lip lightly. “Of course. I would not have the heart to infect my baby.”
Janet pushed him away lightly while trying to get out of bed. However, Mason pressed her shoulders down unexpectedly and he asked in a quiet and dangerous tone, “Why are you leaving? Aren’t you keeping me company tonight?”
Janet’s gaze sparkled because she wanted to, but due to Mason’s current condition, she figured it would be best to leave. “You need more rest.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 977
He chuckled lightly. “Don’t worry, I’ll be good tonight.”
Janet looked away shyly. “Alright,” she answered quietly.
It was late at night and he merely held her tightly in his arms without doing anything.
Janet’s lips parted and she suddenly voiced out her curiosity. “Have you been busy for the past few days?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryMason kept quiet without answering her.
She asked again, “Are you still investigating the previous incident?”
Mason did not utter a word and he remained silent. However, he caressed her hair softly this time, as though trying to sooth her.
Janet frowned slightly and she tried to get up. She lay on her stomach, her front propped up slightly as she observed the man beside her. “Why aren’t you answering me?”
He kissed her cheeks and tried to be patient while restraining himself. “Babe, you don’t need to know.”
Janet’s eyes flashed slightly in a menacing manner.
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryWhen he saw how angry she was, Mason couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Babe, just leave it all to me. You don’t need to know, alright?”
As her man, I am already incompetent for not being able to protect her well. Hence, I would just be a failure as a man if I were to add to her worries by telling her about these issues. Mason was adamant on keeping the secret and he refused to tell her anything.
Janet had no choice, so she finally let out a bitter laugh while looking at him. “Fine. In that case, will you tell me what you plan to do after this?”
Mason pressed his lips together and after a long pause, he finally answered her, “Don’t worry, Babe—I have a plan.”
Janet raised her brows at him. “Why did that person target you? Have you found out about that too?”
Mason shook his head. “I am not sure which identity of mine has ended up as a target.” It is just a gamble that it’s my identity as Peter Welch.
Janet’s gaze reflected her curiosity. “Are they targeting you as Mason Lowry?”
He squinted at her and hummed calmly.
Janet, though, was persistent with her questions. “In that case, what are your other identities?”
Mason looked down at her when he heard that. “Aren’t you aware of all my identities?” he murmured as he caressed her cheeks.
Well, that’s true. Janet looked up and met his gaze steadily. “I want to go too,” she said firmly.
Mason seemed to be avoiding her gaze when he shook his head. “I won’t be able to focus with you around. Please listen to me—stay here obediently and I will come back safely to you.”
He maintained an indifferent expression, but he had given her all the tenderness he could muster.
Janet had no choice but to nod in agreement since he seemed so determined.
I’d be harming him if I were to insist on going with him.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Mason got up to get out of the bed when he heard that. “Babe, I’ll go open the door,” he said lovingly to Janet.
Janet mumbled in acknowledgement while leaning against the side of the bed.
Once the door swung open, Sean greeted Mason straight away, “Young Master Mason.”
Mason shut the door since he didn’t want to disturb Janet. “How’s it going?” he asked.
Sean nodded in response. “The news of you showing up at the auction in Barnsford has been released to the public.”
Mason nodded in satisfaction. “Wonderful.” I’ll then be able to confirm that the appearance of the previous assassins were targeting my identity as Peter Welch by revealing to the public that Peter would be attending the auction.
“But…” Sean wore a complex expression. “Young Master Mason, how can you be sure that those people will show up?”
Mason smirked while squinting his eyes menacingly. “They would not miss such an easy opportunity since they have been trying to assassinate me with all kinds of methods.”
Sean nodded in agreement when he heard that. “By the way, does Miss Jackson know about the plan too?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 978
I am afraid that Miss Jackson might start questioning things if Young Master Mason were to disappear for a few days.
Mason answered in a gravelly voice, “Yeah; I’ve informed her today.”
“In that case, have you told her about Peter Welch?”
This time, Mason nodded again. “She knows about that too.”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryShe must have learned about my identity as Prime Minister Welch when she went to the basement to take the present last time. After all, the Hawke Kingdom’s map and seal was on the table in the basement’s conference room.
Soon, it was time for the auction in Barnsford.
Prime Minister Welch would be showing up at the auction too, so it was the best time for Janet to make her move.
Janet sent a message to Lara early in the morning. ‘Meet me at the Royal Garden after half an hour.’
Lara replied to her almost instantly. ‘Understood. I’m headed there now.’
“Remember to bring along the custom made hyper-realistic face mask beforehand.” Janet texted, to which Lara replied, ‘Got it.’
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query
With that, Janet put her phone away. After freshening up, she made her way down the stairs.
Downstairs, she looked around while making her way to the dining table. Then, she picked up a piece of toast and bit into it before she asked the servant, “Where’s your master?”
“Oh—Young Master Mason went out for a business trip. He mentioned that he would be back the day after tomorrow and he asked you not to worry, Miss Jackson,” replied the servant respectfully.
He most probably didn’t tell me because he didn’t want to disturb me in the morning when he woke up. Coming to that conclusion, Janet murmured, “Alright.”
After breakfast, she went to the Royal Garden straight away.
At the Royal Garden, there was a woman who had some light makeup on her pretty face, and her prominent facial features made her look as though she was of mixed-race. In short, she was unbelievably beautiful.
She smiled while touching her cheeks, but her voice was as cold and distant as usual, “Lara, what do you think?”
Lara, who was standing beside her, nodded reassuringly. “You look good.”
Janet sighed helplessly. “I am asking how believable it is.”
Well, judging solely on the face, she is a pretty, mixed-race woman. However, her back hair is a stark contrast against her facial features. After contemplating, Lara searched for a wig impatiently and placed it on the table. “Try this on, Janet.”
Janet looked down when she heard that.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she picked up the blond wig and put it on.
At that moment, the hair color finally complemented her prominent and deep-set facial features of a mixed-race woman.
You look good! You look so pretty! I’d be charmed by your beauty even as a woman.
“You seem to have a few tricks up your sleeves.” Janet giggled softly.
Meanwhile, Lara sat on the couch and she was deep in her thoughts for some time. “Janet, I’ll go with you,” she said quietly. We would be able to look out for each other with two of us present. I can’t even begin to imagine the consequences if Prime Minister Welch were to capture her alone.
Janet smiled while checking the time. “It is 9 AM now. We need to take the 10 AM flight out and we’ll arrive in Barnsford at 2 PM. The auction ends at 5 PM, so I will have to complete the task before 6 PM. If I do not give you a call by 6 PM, it means that the mission has failed,” she explained calmly. She wore a lazy expression, as if she wasn’t feeling pressured at all.
Lara kept her head bowed without saying anything.
After a long time, she finally broke the silence. “Fine, but I want to head to Barnsford with you.” I will lead an attack into the auction if Janet doesn’t return by 6 PM.
Janet looked up at Lara and her lips curled into a leisurely smile before she drawled, “Up to you.”
Somewhere at an auction in Barnsford, a tall and well-built man was walking forward with long and steady strides. His facial features were stunning but he had an impassive expression as he strode forward.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 979
He was just about to enter the auction site when a man in black stopped him. “Your name, please.”
The man in question paused before he brandished a seal in his hand.
After looking at the words on the seal, the man in black had a complete change in attitude. He bowed respectfully and murmured, “Prime Minister, this way please.” This is the first time the Prime Minister has shown up in a public setting, and this is also my first time catching sight of his face!
The prime minister squinted while asking in a deep and alluring voice, “Did you see any suspicious people entering the venue?”
Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe man in black shook his head as he murmured, “None so far.”
“Alright. Report to me straight away if you notice any suspicious personnel.”
“Understood.”
After that, the prime minister made his way up the second floor. He stood at the corridor of the second floor while drumming his fingers lightly against the stairs railing. He then looked at the crowd walking around downstairs.
Most of the people in the auction are from the Hawke Kingdom. In other words, I’ve set up a trap. It is easy to identify people from the Hawke Kingdom. If they are not from the Hawke Kingdom, there is a high probability that they have come to assassinate me. The Hawke Kingdom’s men have a special feature—those who are attending the auction tonight will have black bows around their necks as part of their suits. On the other hand, women will also have a special feature—they will be wearing a brooch with their dresses. However, in order to avoid unwanted attention from my enemy, the color and styles of the brooches are random. Of course, the citizens of the Hawke Kingdom are not just props to confuse the enemy. They are all elites and in fact, all of them are armed with guns. Once the enemy shows up, they will never be able to leave the auction alive.
The man did not notice anything out of the ordinary on the first floor, so he looked away. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, “You can’t tell anything out of the ordinary from my appearance, can you?”

Ever since I learned that Markovia has started researching hyper-realistic face masks, the Lowry Family Conglomerate started our research too. In fact, we have an enhanced version and the masks can last up to eight hours without fail.
Mason scowled. “Sean, stop addressing me as Young Master Mason to avoid exposing ourselves.”
“Yes, Prime Minister.”
Around 3 PM outside of the auction entrance, a blonde woman with blue eyes and prominent features showed up on time.
She inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly. Then, she walked toward the entrance of the auction.
There were now four men in black at the auction entrance, compared to the one man before.
The woman looked calm when she was about to walk into the venue.
However, a man in black stopped her. “Please show your ID.”
So it turns out I need an ID… Fortunately, I’ve prepared one beforehand.
The woman raised her brows and she handed them her name card—which she had prepared beforehand—to the men in black. “Have you taken a good look?” she asked in a cold and calm tone.
The man in black scanned the woman from head to toe discreetly and they paused for a few seconds. “Are you from Markovia? Why are you here to attend our auction in Barnsford?” he asked in a grave tone.
The woman giggled when she heard that and she answered steadily, “Is this the attitude of the auction organizer? I am dropping by to purchase something for fun. Will you trace my background just for that?”
She then paused and narrowed her eyes as she warned, “Are you telling me that there’s something illegal in the auction?”
The men in black were silent as they exchanged glances after hearing that. Finally, they let her in.
The woman reached out for her card. Taking it, she ripped it into pieces and tossed it into the trash can.

Once she entered the auction site, the woman found an inconspicuous seat to sit down on. The only thing I need to observe now is whether or not Prime Minister Welch will show up. I need to know what he looks like and find out when is the best time to make a move.
Upstairs, the man continued drumming his fingers lightly against the stairs railing as he observed the auction site on the first floor.
Another woman had just walked through the entrance. She had blonde hair and she was dressed extremely sexily, making her stand out.
There were many women who looked like her in the Hawke Kingdom, so initially, there was nothing exceptional about her. However, the man’s eyes narrowed when he noticed that the woman was not wearing a brooch on her chest.

At that moment, a man in black approached him and spoke quietly. “Prime Minister, a suspicious person has just entered the venue.”
The man did not look surprised when he heard that. “Are you referring to the blonde woman?” he asked calmly.
The man in black was stunned for a moment because he did not expect the Prime Minister to be aware of that.
The man in black murmured, “Also, her ID is from Markovia.”
“Understood. You may leave now.”

After the man in black left, the prime minister’s lips curled up imperceptibly. Is the woman here for the auction items or is she here for me? Looks like we’ll come to know by observing if she participates in the auction.
It was ten minutes before the auction started and Shadow 1 sat quietly in a corner. It was lively in the venue but somehow, she could tell them something was amiss. It is different from other auctions. Normally during an auction, everybody would be discussing the auctioned items. However, the clients in this auction are not focused on the items that are being auctioned off. Something’s obviously off.
Shadow 1 observed everyone carefully by scanning every person from head-to-toe, and her eyes narrowed suddenly because she realized the difference between herself and the rest of the attendees. All the men here have a black bowtie, whereas the women have brooches fastened on their dress. Although some do not have those features, my instincts are telling me that there’s something up with this arrangement. If I were to separate the buyers from these features, I’m guessing that three to five out of ten people are real buyers, whereas the rest of them are merely ‘props’ who have been briefed beforehand. No wonder the guards at the entrance asked me those questions. Prime Minister Welch must have planned all these beforehand!
“D*mn it!” her red lips parted and she cursed under her breath. The Prime Minister of the Hawke Kingdom is so smart that I almost fell into his trap. She scanned her surroundings and after making sure that nobody was observing her, she stood up and slowly made her way to the washroom.
It so happened that another woman was walking out of the washroom. Similarly, she had a brooch fastened across her chest.
Shadow 1 squinted in determination and she grabbed the woman’s neck from behind.
The woman was alert too—she knew immediately that something was wrong and she prepared a counterattack.
In any case, Shadow 1 was still Shadow 1 after all, so she defeated the woman in two to three minutes.
Shadow 1 then took out a strong hallucinogen and injected it into the back of the woman’s neck.
After being injected with the strong hallucinogen, the woman would be knocked out and the effects of the drug would last for six to eight hours. When the time was up, she would be able to wake up naturally. Forget about eight hours; I don’t even need six hours because I would have completed my mission before that.
Shadow 1 smirked while patting the woman’s cheek. “Sorry about that.”
With that, she unfastened the brooch from the woman’s dress to pin it onto hers. Then, she locked the washroom cubicle from within. Clapping her hands in satisfaction, she walked to the mirror to fluff her hair before she finally left the bathroom to return to the auction site.
