Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife

By then, Gordon’s fans would condemn her.

When Abby saw what happened, she was tempted to follow suit as well, but Miss Lilian glared at her. “You want to head out as well? Do you believe that I will tell your parents about this?”

Abby had a scowl on her little face when she heard Miss Lilian’s words.

Upon seeing the grimace on Abby’s face, Janet couldn’t stifle her smile and mouthed at her to console her. “Listen in class!”

Miss Lilian was enraged throughout the duration of the class.

As soon as she left, the class burst into cheers.

“The French teacher is loquacious!”

“It’s obvious that she has been targeting Janet.”

“But why did Gordon head out? Could it be that he likes Janet?”

“It’s impossible. Gordon probably wants to look at the scenery.”

Once class was over, the students started to gossip again. Janet, who sat on her seat, had no choice but to listen to them.

Miss Lilian left the class and returned to her office.

When another teacher saw that Miss Lilian had a dark expression, she chuckled, “Janet is really special—she likes to stand and dislikes to listen in class!”

Miss Lilian sighed. “She’s very difficult to deal with; she’s such a handful! I thought that she would leave Class A after the trial exams, but I never thought that she would become the center of attraction instead. I’m going mad if this continues.”

The other teacher knew about Miss Lilian’s attitude—she was impatient and liked to mock people.

However, since they were in the same office, there was no other choice but to console her, “Just be patient. Our class is even worse—their results are really poor, but they don’t listen in class. How about I apply to the principal to arrange you to teach them instead?”

Upon hearing that, Miss Lilian rolled her eyes. When she left the office, she cursed quietly, “Crazy!”

During the second period, the math teacher, Aaron Rodriguez, shared about the registration of the National Mathematics competition. “The registration for the National Mathematics competition is about to start. I’m glad to see that everyone likes math so much,” the mathematics teacher was agitated as he announced onstage.

Nevertheless, the students offstage were oblivious to his excitement.

“National Mathematics competition? This has nothing to do with me since I’m bad at maths.”

“Whoever is interested in it can proceed. I’m not joining the competition.”

“Our class monitor, Emily, will surely participate! She’s good in everything!”

“Sir, you can participate in it yourself.”

Upon hearing the discussion of the students, Mr. Rodriguez was rendered speechless. These little brats are so inconsiderate of my pride.

He ignored them and continued, “However, there’s a limited entry for the competition. Therefore, our school will organize a preliminary competition on Wednesday. Only students who passed the preliminary competition can participate in the national competition.”

As he was speaking, his gaze landed on Janet. “Miss Janet!”

Janet raised her eyes and looked blankly at him.

He uttered in a serious manner, “I’ve saved a form for you. Why don’t you come over to fill up the form later?”

She blinked at him, feeling at a loss for words. “Sir, I didn’t say that I’m going to register!”

She really had no intention to be in the limelight. After all, it was a national competition and nobody could tell how many people would see on television…

Mr. Rodriguez was momentarily speechless and did not know what to say.

At the same time, when her classmates heard of her refusal to join, they started to discuss among themselves.

“Janet, you had previously received first place for the trial exams. Aren’t you supposed to join the national competition this time around?”

“That’s right. Could it be that your result in Mathematics is fake?”

“Janet, you are so selfish. Can’t you be considerate and think on behalf of our class?”

Upon hearing their words, Janet let out a cold smile. These people are really good at taking the moral high ground…

Gordon poked on her shoulder. “Janet, are you really not joining? Just listen to how they are describing you!”

Janet blinked. “Are you joining?”

“I’ll consider it!” This is a national competition after all and it will be embarrassing if I lose. However, for Janet’s sake, it would be fine for me to lose my reputation. “Janet, I will join if you join!”

Looking at the stern expression on his face, she couldn’t suppress her laughter.

When Mr. Rodriguez saw Janet ignoring Gordon, he awkwardly coughed. “Janet, I think that you should consider it.”

Suddenly, he saw Emily raising her hand.

“Emily, what’s the matter?”

She stood up and tucked her hair. “Sir, I’m busy this Wednesday. Can I not participate in the preliminary competition?”
