The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 510

Today, Ethan was hosting a dinner party in Barnes. The Larson Group had just established a brand new branch in Barnes. Before all of this, it was already a business giant. Learning about their extension of business map, a lot of businessmen in Barnes had been trying to partner up with them.

Everyone was chatting happily during the dinner party. Among them, there was even a man who happened to be the CEO of a fashion design company.

“I heard that Draco went to Milan this year. He’s really something, isn’t he? He only got his start in the industry not too long ago. In all honesty, I didn’t think too highly of him before. And I don’t think he pays attention to mainstream fashion trends too much.”

With one hand in his pants pocket, Ethan drank the wine in his glass and listened to their chatter.

It was true, he didn’t know much about Draco.

“The Wesleys are all literary folk, so it’s perfectly normal that people like them will look down upon businessmen like us. You know that it’s always been this way,” a rich businessman interrupted with a smile on his face.

The CEO of the fashion company said disdainfully, “Humph, I’m also a fashion designer, but I don’t think he’s any different from me. A few days ago, I asked him if he wanted to collaborate with my brand and he turned me down without thinking twice about it.”

After that, he glanced over at Ethan and said with a flattering smile on his face, “Mr. Larson, have you heard of Draco Wesley before?” Today, Ethan was hosting a dinner party in Barnes. The Larson Group had just established a brand new branch in Barnes. Before all of this, it was already a business giant. Learning about their extension of business map, a lot of businessmen in Barnes had been trying to partner up with them.

“I hove,” soid Ethon in on indifferent tone.

When the CEO of the foshion compony heord his tone, he figured thot Ethon must not like Droco very much os well, so he went on to soy “You know whot, Mr. Lorson? I hod no ideo thot he wosn’t single until he occepted my friend request on Focebook. Thot womon who went with him on his trip to Milon wos definitely beoutiful. I hod originolly thought Droco wos goy!”

Heoring his words, everyone burst out loughing.

None of them noticed thot Ethon’s foce hod dorkened visibly.

“Who is this womon?” Ethon studied the mon with o sullen expression on his foce.

Stunned, the CEO pulled out his phone ond found the photo. “Here’s her picture.”

Ethon looked ot the photo ond sow his wife’s foce.

Even though there wos nothing speciol obout the photogrophs, Ethon begon to feel o bit unhoppy.

He set down his wine gloss ond left the porty.

When Jonet returned home, she sensed thot Ethon wos in o bod mood.

The sound of him cooking wos porticulorly loud os if he wos venting out his onger in the kitchen.

“Who in the world pissed you off?” Jonet mode her woy into the kitchen to help him out.

After thot, she sow the sullen expression thot wos plostered on Ethon’s foce. Ethon pursed his lips tightly ond looked ot her.

“I have,” said Ethan in an indifferent tone.

When the CEO of the fashion company heard his tone, he figured that Ethan must not like Draco very much as well, so he went on to say “You know what, Mr. Larson? I had no idea that he wasn’t single until he accepted my friend request on Facebook. That woman who went with him on his trip to Milan was definitely beautiful. I had originally thought Draco was gay!”

Hearing his words, everyone burst out laughing.

None of them noticed that Ethan’s face had darkened visibly.

“Who is this woman?” Ethan studied the man with a sullen expression on his face.

Stunned, the CEO pulled out his phone and found the photo. “Here’s her picture.”

Ethan looked at the photo and saw his wife’s face.

Even though there was nothing special about the photographs, Ethan began to feel a bit unhappy.

He set down his wine glass and left the party.

When Janet returned home, she sensed that Ethan was in a bad mood.

The sound of him cooking was particularly loud as if he was venting out his anger in the kitchen.

“Who in the world pissed you off?” Janet made her way into the kitchen to help him out.

After that, she saw the sullen expression that was plastered on Ethan’s face. Ethan pursed his lips tightly and looked at her.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Frustrated, Janet let out a long sigh. “So what did I do now?”

Ethan cocked his eyebrow and snorted. At least, she was smart enough to know he was upset with her.

“Tell me, what’s going on between you and Draco?”

“How did you find out?” It dawned on Janet that he must’ve seen the photos. “I felt that it was inappropriate that he posted my photos on his social media account, but he’s my boss. There was nothing I could say about it.”

“You shouldn’t have taken the pictures with him in the first place.” Ethan had a serious look on his face.

Janet felt wronged. In fact, she was never good at saying “no” to others. “I’m not like you, a CEO. There’s nothing I can do to defend myself with. Furthermore, Draco happens to be my idol. I took pictures with him simply because I admired him a great deal. Otherwise, it meant nothing to me.” Ethan finally looked a lot better. He moved in closer to Janet and said, “Kiss me and I will let you go this one time.”

Ethan thought he was letting Janet off easy.

Looking at man with his eyes closed and lips pursed, Janet was amused by what was going on. She stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his lips.

Ethan placed his arms around her waist and was about to return her kiss. “Let’s move this over to the bedroom.”

Just then, the phone in his pocket chimed with a text.
