Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife

When Mr. Wilson blew the whistle a short while later, Janet moved her slender legs and started off with a jog to build up her momentum.

Emily chuckled while she was observing Janet, “With that height of hers, I’m surprised that she didn’t actually opt to sprint fast to gain enough momentum before making the jump. Let’s see how badly she is gonna fall later!”

Madelaine sniggered, “Emily, what we suffered before this is going to be avenged soon.”

Even those from Class B couldn’t help but shake their heads and taunted, “Emily, does your class really have no better candidate than her?”

“Hahaha, Class A is going to end up at the bottom of the ranking this year again.”

“Look at that pair of slender legs of Janet’s. She should count herself lucky if she doesn’t hurt her legs after making the jump.”

“Why is she running so slowly like a tortoise now when she moved so fast to punch someone?”

In response to their remarks, Emily raised her brows and lamented with a distressed expression, “I have no clue that Janet actually registered for the event because she did it secretly!”

Madelaine chimed in, “That’s true because that country bumpkin just loves to seize every chance to be in the limelight whenever she can! Have you guys forgotten how Jennifer ended up being suspended after getting punched by her? Because of that matter, she was the talk of the town for some time!”

Those from Class B snorted and shook their heads contemptuously at them.

As for Janet, she actually planned to give up by just stopping right before the pole but out of instinct and due to her muscle memory, she would automatically jump over any barrier in front of her.

After landing on the cushion on the other side of the pole, she deliberately wiped off some imaginary sweat from her neck and panted, “It’s so tiring!”

The smirk on Emily and Madelaine’s face disappeared in an instant.

“H-How’s that possible?” Everyone rubbed their eyes thinking that they had seen it wrongly.

The moment Janet jumped over the pole had happened as fast as a lightning and her body didn’t touch the pole at all.

Grabbing Madelaine’s arm, Emily sputtered in a quivering voice, “H-Have my eyes failed me, or did Janet actually jump over that pole?”

Madelaine was also stuck in a trance before she rubbed her eyes and responded, “I-I’ve seen the same thing too.”

By the time they managed to recover from the shock, Janet was already surrounded by all the students from Class A.

Abby squealed excitedly, “Janet, you’re so amazing and you were as quick as lightning!”

“Janet, I’m totally blown away by your performance! You’re such a surprise!” Mr. Wilson started showering her with praise.

Janet first gulped before responding shyly, “Is that so? I think I was just lucky because I only made that jump reflexively and I totally didn’t expect to make it.”

Cupping Janet’s face in her hands, Abby kept on planting sloppy kisses on her cheeks and lauded, “You’re not lucky, but outright talented! Goodness gracious, I’m so happy!”

Even Gordon looked dumbfounded because it had never occurred to him that Janet would be so good at sports.

Not only was she brilliant, but she was a talented athlete too!

“Oh, please spare me the embarrassment and stop praising me already. A-Abby, p-please fetch my water bottle over here.” Janet pretended to talk breathlessly.

“Okay!” Abby scurried away from the crowd but to her dismay, she bumped into Emily who was walking over.

Emily snorted, “Didn’t she just manage to do a high jump? I really can’t see what’s the big fuss all about! Seems like y’all have never seen much of the world, huh?”

Ignoring her, Abby rounded past her and headed straight for Janet’s water bottle.

By the time she made it back, she was just in time to hear Madelaine talking to Mr. Wilson. “Sir, isn’t it too early for a celebration since Janet still has two events later?”

Mr. Wilson broke into a wide grin and chirped, “I’m already satisfied with the gold medal Janet got for the high jump event. As for the rest, it’s fine by me if Janet wants to pull out.”

Emily retorted agitatedly right away, “Mr. Wilson, how can we do something like that? The students from the other classes will think of us as a bunch of cowards if Janet pulls out! No way, she has to take part in the other two events too…”

“Exactly. Everyone in the school will deem us as a bunch of cowards in the future!” Madelained nodded vigorously in agreement.

“Hmm…” Slightly concerned, Mr. Wilson looked at Janet and asked, “Janet, do you think you still have enough stamina for the remaining two events?”

Looking calm and composed, Janet took her water bottle from Abby and took a swig before she announced with a nonchalant expression, “I’ll give it a try!”
