Genius Wife Is Naughty Again

Chapter 23

Janet nodded and tossed her bag aside while Emily rolled her eyes and taunted, “I must say, you’re

really bold!”Three minutes later, Emily knocked on the door of the dressing room impatiently and asked,

“Janet, are you done?”As she could not hear anything coming from inside, she was just about to walk

into the dressing room when the door swung open. She was greeted by a young girl wearing a green

embroidered dress, carrying a lute in her arms as she was leaving the room. She had exquisite

makeup on her face with two roses drawn beside her eyes, accentuating her radiant and flawless skin.

Emily was awestruck by Janet’s beauty.“Is it my turn soon?” Janet curled her crimson lips slightly

upward into a mysterious smile and it was the first time that Emily had seen her wear that

expression.When Gordon approached the girls, he was immediately blown away by Janet’s dazzling

beauty, his eyes glued to her. Exasperated to see how infatuated he was with Janet, Emily deliberately

questioned, “Janet, I’m surprised you know how to play a lute. Do you really know how it works?”“I’m

curious too. Why did you decide to perform on the lute?” Gordon asked.Janet flashed them both a

helpless smile. “That’s my only choice because I have no idea how to play the other instruments.”Emily

consoled her right away and said, “It’s fine. Gordon and I have just seized the first place for our class

with our performance. So, you don’t have to be nervous; you’re free to perform anything you

want.”“Really? The two of you are amazing!” Janet ignored Emily completely and gave Gordon a nudge

instead, as if the two were the best of buddies.Emily wasn’t too bothered by it because she knew Janet

would soon become the laughing stock of the whole school from tonight onward. That thought instantly

cheered her up. Her performance was the last from Class A as well as the entire event, so she had a

crucial role because everyone would be paying their full attention to her.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank

you all for coming to join us in celebrating Star High School’s anniversary tonight. We guarantee that all

performances tonight have not gone through any rehearsal and everything will be done in a fair and

square manner so that we will be able to uncover the student who has the most potential in becoming a

star in the future!”The audience responded with a round of warm applause. The much-anticipated last

performance of the night was about to begin.“Now, let us welcome the last performance of tonight. Miss

Janet Jackson, a newcomer from Class A of Twelfth Grade! Let’s put our hands together to welcome

her dance performance!”At the same time, whispers broke out among the audience. “A newcomer? I

can’t believe she has the guts to be the last performer at such a grand event. I guarantee she must be

someone who loves to be in the limelight!”“Janet Jackson? Isn’t she the one who beat up the campus

belle, Jennifer Lewis, so badly that she had to skip school for ten days?”“Not only that, she even

cheated in exams and she was so slick that not even the principal or the teachers could catch her red-

handed!”“Damn it, is she backed up by some big shot? Let’s see how she’s going to fare in the final

exam!”“I couldn’t give a crap about that because she will forever be my enemy for hurting my idol,

Jennifer Lewis.”“Hey, stop talking and watch her performance.”At this moment, Janet walked onto the

stage. The dress she wore was embellished with green embroidery and it wrapped around her elegant

body perfectly, as if it was made exclusively for her. The fair skin of her arms were also on display.“Oh

gosh!”“She’s so stunning! I think I’m falling in love with her!”“Is she carrying a lute?”“No way, does she

know how to play it?”“Isn’t she going to dance?”Gracefully, Janet sat down and started stroking the lute

with her fingers. Curving her fair-skinned fingers into a hooked shape, she started strumming the

strings and playing a song named ‘Sorrow’. The song conveyed the bitterness of a woman who was

longing for the return of her husband. Toward the end of the song, Janet slowed down the movement of

her fingers and ended the song with a single note of longing.The audience immediately broke into

tremendous applause.“Her performance was breathtaking!”“She looks so beautiful when she’s playing

the lute in that green dress.”“She’s definitely the best performer tonight!”“Her performance is even

better than Emily’s piano performance.”“She has to be crowned as the winner tonight!”Meanwhile

backstage, Emily glared at Janet with her teeth gritted as she was surprised that Janet could really play

the lute. How could this be? Did villages now come with so many good resources? Emily knew she was

surely going to miss out on being the winner this time and she had only herself to blame for that.On the

other hand, Gordon was impressed by Janet’s performance because it was better than many This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

celebrities who performed inn talent shows on television.Instead of retreating to the backstage right

away, Janet put the lute down. Removing the pair of high heels she was wearing, her ankle and calf

were revealed as the slit on her dress parted while she walked around the stage. All the guys offstage

were smitten by the temptation.“That’s not the end?” “Is she going to dance?”
