Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 142
After Old Mr. Collins nodded at her in approval, Janet walked down the stage and left the ballroom.
All the guests were dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?”
“Has Janet Jackson pulled out of the contest?”
“Hahaha, I guess she must have wet her pants because she couldn’t produce anything.”
“See, I told you she couldn’t draw at all but you refused to believe me. Now, you can see the truth very clearly with your own eyes.”
Those who didn’t know Janet well were jeering at her. Only Lee and Lara, who were sitting at a secluded corner of the ballroom, exchanged a smile with each other knowing that it was a typical move of Janet before she pulled off something wondrous.
Two minutes later, Janet rushed back to the ballroom and hurried back to her seat. She was holding something in her hands which she later affixed on her canvas before covering up her painting.
Everyone was exchanging puzzled looks with each other as no one had a clue what she just did.
Looking all smiles, Old Mr. Collins announced, “I hereby announce that the contest has come to an end and the paintings will be revealed in fifteen minutes!”
The guests dispersed right after his announcement—some of them going to enjoy the refreshments and some heading to the bathroom.
Janet then went to the lounge backstage where she bumped into Emily; no one else was there at that juncture.
Judging from the sly smirk on Emily’s face, she seemed to be secretly hatching some schemes.
Janet cast her a glance before asking her in a crisp and soft voice, “Are you plotting something against me now?”
Smiling smugly at her, Emily put on an innocent look and refuted in a demure and gentle voice, “Janet, how can you think of me that way? There’s no way I am plotting anything against you as I’m a very kind person.”
In response to her statement, Janet snickered sarcastically.
Within two minutes, Shirley, Jade and Megan arrived at the lounge too.
Looking concerned, Jade asked, “Janet, why were you sleeping on stage just now? Are you feeling unwell?”
Janet answered her with a calm smile, “Nope, I’m alright.”
Shirley put on a smirk and ridiculed, “Mom, you don’t have to worry about her. Perhaps she spent too much time feeding the pigs in the village that she can now sleep anytime and anywhere just like them.”
“Shirley, watch your words,” Jade warned in an annoyed tone.
