NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 427: Leave EthanThe car was filled with a thick silence.
Instead of making a scene, Jchose to be calm and asked, "Will you please unlock the door? I want to go back."
She turned away and stared at the scenery through the window.It was a very long winter this year, in Seacisco.
Ethan unlocked the door with shaky fingers.
The tremor in his fingers had not stopped yet.
Jshut the car door carefully and went back to the villa.
She had to get Ethan to agree to the divorce because she didn’t think she would be able to live with him as a couple like they
had done in the past.
She knew if he didn’t agree then the divorce would not happen.
Jwas completely worn out as she entered the villa. She knew she could not be compared to someone as perfect as Charis,
which was why it baffled her that Ethan was so into her.
These questions without answers left her feeling confused and pained.
No, she would not think about this anymore.
It only proved to be a waste of her tsince she could not find the answers to them anyway.
She went to her room in silence and buried her face in the pillow, covering herself with the bed sheet.She had thought that
after the hell he had put her through.
Tears fell from Janet’s eyes and she bit her lips hard to try and stop them from falling.
She missed hand wanted to return there, to the house where she and Hannah had live before.
*******
A huge wall separated them.
Ethan found it difficult to get the words he so desperately wanted to say out of his mouth.He remained in front of Janet’s door,
lost in thoughts.
Ever since Jhad found out about his secret identity as Brandon Larson, she moved out of their bedroom Ethan was quite
busy lately, by taking care of work from his company.
He had to go to work early in the morning and cback late at night.
To make it worse, Jwas avoiding him on purpose.
He hadn’t seen Jfor a while now and he knew the situation would continue if he hadn’t gotten off work early today to wait for
her outside the Larson Group.
Ethan massaged his head.
He had a terrible headache that made his head throb.He figured that someone must have said something to Janet.He decided to
call Garrett "I did not say anything to her so don’t addto your list of suspects."
Garrett had been sitting in a booth at the bar and complaining about the way young people prefer to dance in the bar, when he
He sighed loudly after gathering his thoughts.
"In my opinion the only thing you did wrong was to hide your identity from Janet, and it is not so unforgivable.And despite the fact
that the senior executives in our company like to gossip, I believe that they aren’t stupid and they can at least behave
themselves in certain situations.I believe she must have been prompted by something Jwas devastated and probably
believed that her world might collapse at any twhen she found out about the truth.I do not think she can handle any more
stress right now.You will need to figure out what it is that happened to her before you try to find a solution to the problem."
"What exactly has Charis been up to lately?"
Ethan ground out.
Garrett had not been expecting that line of question from Ethan so suddenly.He frowned at Ethan’s words.
"She traveled abroad to deal with sfinancial issues we had a few days ago.She just got back actually.I think she will mind
her words.She is smart enough to know that."
"I tasked my assistant with investigating what happened to Jtoday.There appeared to be nothing unusual during the day, but
the surveillance video cannot account for what happened when she went downstairs by the tshe was off duty."
Garrett could not help but think that Ethan was making accusations he could not support with facts.
"There was a general meeting of the top executives a few days ago and the decision was made at the meeting to upgrade our
security system.So it wasn’t really an accident that the CCTV cameras were shut down after work.The two things happening at
the stis purely coincidental and I think you are overthinking it."
**
Jwalked downstairs from the floor of the design department, but then she chose to take the elevator from the second floor.
Why? What exactly on the first floor made her so afraid that she went back to take the elevator** Ethan could feel in his gut that
something dubious had happened.
