Genius Wife Is Naughty Again novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217

Janet suddenly felt a lump in her throat when she heard Grandma Jade’s words. Grandma Jade had been the first one in years who said something like that to her other than her master. She had always been the one who was tasked with the role of protecting others. Nodding at Grandma Jade, she said, “I’ve got it.”At that moment came the maid’s voice from the kitchen. “Old Mrs. Jackson, dinner’s ready!”Jade nodded at the maid before looking at Janet with a wide grin while she held her hands. “Let’s go and have dinner!”“Okay.”The sight of them together was a jovial one, and Emily seemed to be the odd one out. Back then, Emily used to be the center of attention for Grandma Jade and Megan but then everything she had was snatched by Janet as soon as she arrived. And for that, she hated Janet to the core.She just wished that she could take the college entrance exam sooner because it was only then that Megan and Grandma Jade would realize how excellent she was when she was offered a place by the top local universities as well as other prestigious universities abroad. At the same time, she could show them how much of a trash their birth daughter and granddaughter, Janet, was. Her abysmal score in the exam wouldn’t even be able to make it to the lower tier universities.After dinner, Janet returned to her room. The moment she took out her phone she saw a barrage of messages from The Beasts.‘Are you alright, Boss?’‘Boss, where have you been? Please reply!’‘Boss, are you abandoning your Venom?’‘I’m sure you must have forgotten about us, Boss! Sobs!’Staring at their messages helplessly, Janet replied to them simply: ‘I’m alright. I’ve safely reached home!’The Beasts responded in an instant: ‘Thank goodness. You gave us such a scare!’Janet turned off the screen of her phone after glancing at the message. Then, she decided to deal with the injury on her neck. Judging from the condition of the wound, she reckoned it would take at least a week to heal.That thought made her grit her teeth in resentment and prompted her to make up her mind to take revenge by biting Mason’s neck back. No, she had to bite his entire body! Chomp, chomp, chomp! Imitating the sound of biting, she looked at the mirror and started applying ointment on the wound. The bite mark hurt so much worse compared to knife and bullet wounds.The next morning, the Lowry Residence was bustling with people. While Mason was going through some documents in his study, round after round of lamentation came from outside.“My Lord, I’ve stopped Janet’s photo from spreading on Twitter and asked my men to hack into every phone that has her photo to delete them. Young Master Mason, is that not enough to appease your anger? I had no idea she was Night Shadow and did not know that I would bring her trouble! Janet is at fault too by keeping so many secrets from me…”“Are you done?” Mason opened the door and eyed Henry icily.As Mason was finally willing to meet him, Henry quickly walked over and buttered him up by telling him all the work he had done. “Young Master Mason, please don’t worry because all of Janet’s photos and videos have been deleted through the facial recognition system!”Frustrated, Mason took a puff and stared out of the window at the bright blue sky outside, his face sullen. It was because he had just learnt how Young Master Campbell and Young Master Cardiff had humiliated Janet on the day of the race. Mason was especially pissed off with Hedd Cardiff, who had apparently failed to learn from his mistake after being defeated by Mason the last time. Early that morning, he received calls from both Benjamin and Hedd who offered their apologies to him.Spooked by the bleak expression on Mason’s face, Henry couldn’t help but massage his arm uneasily. Shortly after that came the sound of the maid knocking on the door. The moment the maid opened the door and saw the menacing and icy aura from Young Master Mason, she was so frightened that she almost forgot why she was even there.Seeing that, Henry prompted her kindly, “What’s the matter?”Trying hard to battle the fear deep down inside her, the maid said in a quivering voice, “Young Master Mason, Young Master Campbell is waiting outside and is asking to have a meeting with you.” “Ask him to leave!” Mason spoke in a voice so dark that it was as if it belonged to Hades; the ominous tone that sounded somewhat sinister and mysterious seemed to come naturally to him.
