The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 409

Janet’s eyes widened in shock, and she murmured, “Ethan.”

Her classmate next to her was even more surprised. “Do you know anyone over there? These people are so well-dressed! They don’t look like commoners.”

Pretty soon, Janet regained her composure and nodded in response.

‘Of course, I know him. He’s my husband! But what is Ethan doing here? Did he come here with his boss?’ she wondered.

She turned her gaze to the side and saw Garrett standing next to Ethan. The man was speaking to Ethan with a stern expression, which was quite different from his usual nonchalant attitude.

“Didn’t the receptionist say that Brandon Larson booked this place? They’re probably from the Larson Group,” her classmate whispered.

Her classmate’s words pulled Janet back to her senses.

Thoughts reeled through Janet’s head. For a moment, an idea formed in her head.

‘Right… the only ones who can be here are senior executives of the Larson Group.’

As she stared at Ethan, her heart raced at the thought of the possibility. The people around her husband were all staring at him with admiration and caution.

Ethan was standing in the center, surrounded by lots of people.

Any man in that position must be the most powerful man in the Larson Group, even more powerful than the likes of Garrett. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

There could only be one explanation. That man was actually Brandon Larson.

Janet stared in awe at the silver gray suit Ethan was wearing. It was a tailor made suit designed by a famous designer from Paris. The fabric alone cost a fortune.

Suddenly, Janet felt very confused.

She was wondering if that man donned in glamorous clothes was Ethan or Brandon.

He was only a few feet away, but Janet felt like the person before her was so distant and unreachable.

“Hey, Janet, which one of those people do you know? Do you know who that guy in the silver suit is?” Janet’s classmate nudged her arm.

“I don’t,” Janet replied, shaking her head.

Her classmate pouted, visibly disappointed. “What a pity! I was hoping if you could tell me if that man in the middle is Brandon. He’s so handsome!”

Janet smiled bitterly.

She suddenly pieced it all together.

She now understood why she had led a charmed life ever since she married Ethan. Aside from that, she no longer wondered why Brandon treated her well. The mystery of Ethan and Brandon’s “special relationship” was finally solved. And most of all, she was able to understand why Brandon’s figure and facial features resembled Ethan’s.

It turned out that Ethan and Brandon were the same person!

All of a sudden, Janet was uncertain of how to face this realization.

‘Maybe I should be happy. After all, my husband is the Larson Group’s CEO,’ she remarked inwardly.

But then, she felt no joy in her heart.

Her mind was clouded at this moment. ‘I can’t understand why Ethan had been lying to me. Is he worried that I’d ask him for money once I find out that he’s actually Brandon?’

Rich people were always rational and utilitarian. They were adept at weighing pros and cons.

‘Is Brandon trying to fool around with me as Ethan? What’s going to happen once he’s tired of playing with me? Will he toss me side like a used napkin?’

Countless questions flooded Janet’s mind. She felt like she had been a fool that Ethan had toyed with for years on end.

She turned around, intending to leave this place the soonest that she could.

“Janet?”

Suddenly, she heard someone’s loud voice calling her from behind.

Her heart skipped a beat. She turned around once more.

There, she saw Garret’s pale face as he looked at her through the crowd.

Now, all eyes were on her. All the senior executives, partners of the Larson Group, and Ethan looked at her. Ethan looked really tense and shocked to see her.
