The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Twenty minutes ago.

The Larson Group executives were in a conference with another high-profile company.

Ethan’s phone had been vibrating for quite a while, but he chose to ignore it the first couple of times. When the phone buzzed again and he finally glanced at the caller ID, his frown relaxed.

He raised a hand to signal a halt to the meeting. “I’m sorry, but I need to take this call,” he said, proceeding to answer his phone without waiting for the other men’s response.

As Ethan listened to Janet’s words, his face slowly darkened. His body grew tense, and a heavy pressure was palpable in the air.

Garrett turned to Ethan and noted how tight his grip was on his phone, as well as the slight tremor of his hand.

“What happened?” Garrett asked as soon as Ethan hung up.

But the latter barely acknowledged him. “Sorry, this meeting will have to be postponed,” Ethan announced. He stood up and walked out of the room.

The men looked at each other, dumbfounded, but none of them dared to raise a question.
