Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 34
Megan leapt to her feet in rage as it was the first time she heard Janet speak with such a rude tone. “Why can’t you make a compromise for Emily’s sake? I can barely take care of the both of you at the same time!”
With an impassive expression, Janet suggested, “Honestly, it will save you a lot of trouble by just severing your ties with me and kicking me out of the family.”
As soon as she said that, Brian stepped forward to mediate the dispute and proposed, “Well, we shouldn’t have hard feelings for each other over such a trivial matter. The parent-teacher conference isn’t too big a deal.”
Janet glanced at Brian. Her gaze was so penetrating and deep that he couldn’t help but feel guilty because he had a feeling that she could read his mind.
After a few seconds of silence, Janet said indifferently, “I’m going to my room.”
Emily too returned to her room to come up with ways to stop her mother from knowing the fact that Janet had topped the batch with her exam results. She had to do something.
The following day, Star High School held the parent-teacher conference. All the parents of the Class A students were there except for Gordon and Janet’s. It was easy to see why Gordon’s parents were not there because they worked and resided abroad, and only came home a few times in a year.
A short while after all the parents had gathered at the classroom, Mr. Smith arrived. Just then, Madelaine and Emily happened to walk past Janet.
At the sight of Janet, Madelaine couldn’t help but mock, “Janet, why aren’t your village parents here?”
Janet merely looked at her, not bothering to say anything. Thinking that Janet was a pushover, Madelaine pressed on, “Is it because they don’t have enough money to pay for the cab fares for the trip from the village?”
Several classmates nearby, who also deemed Janet an eyesore, chimed in, “That might be true. It’s a very long journey from the village and it can easily cost over a thousand bucks.”
“I’m sure her parents have no idea how to take a train or a plane.”
