Genius Wife Is Naughty Again

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.”“Her whole family is so out of

it that they don’t even know how to take a train or a plane.”“How pathetic is she because her parents

are the only one who are absent!”The girls’ eyes were laden with disdain and contempt as they voiced

out their comments. Abby, who was offended by their remarks, was just about to lash out at the girls

but was stopped by Janet. Janet chortled before she glanced at them. “Do you girls even know the

purpose of having a parent-teacher conference? It’s held so that your parents can keep abreast withUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

your exam results but since my result is the top of the class, I don’t really see the point of them being

here.”The girls wanted to make a brilliant comeback but they couldn’t come up with anything to say

because Janet’s result really was the top of the batch this time. Exasperated, Madelaine snapped,

“Janet Jackson, everyone knows what dirty tricks you used to score well in the exam. If you are really

this good, try topping the whole school in the college entrance exam!”It was all Janet’s fault that Emily

now had something on Madelaine because everytime she had a disagreement with Emily, Emily would

always bring up how she never honored her promise to eat shit when Janet passed the exam.“Oh? If

you think I only managed to score well using some dirty tricks, why don’t you try to do the same thing?”

Janet stared at her with a sly smile.“You—” Madelaine was so frustrated by what she said that she

pointed at Janet, at a loss for words.As the conference was going to begin soon, Madelaine decided to

stop her argument with Janet. “Let’s go, Emily!” Madelaine persuaded Emily to leave.At that moment,

resentment was surging deep down inside Emily not only because of Janet but because of Madelaine

too. Madelaine’s stupidity was driving her mad as the girl almost never thought things through before

she spoke and the rubbish she said would always piss herself off rather than the other way

round.Impatience was written all over Emily’s face but she still spoke gently, “Madelaine, you may go

first because I still have something to discuss with Janet.”Madelaine glanced at Janet before muttering,

“Emily, let me know if she bullies you.”Emily felt like rolling her eyes at her but she didn’t. “Okay, I will.”

It was only after Madelaine walked away did Emily reveal her true colors. She approached Janet and

whispered to her, “You know what, Janet? Even though you’re staying with the Jacksons, using our

things and living in our mansion, you still can’t get rid of the shabbiness in your bones. Mom will never

recognize you as her daughter and you won’t be able to take anything from me!”
