The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

“From the look of things, I’m certain that Janet’s colleagues are spreading the rumor because of her success on the job. They are jealous and intimidated by her. She is being too lenient with them. And that makes it more difficult to investigate,” Ethan stated, his head teeming with different thoughts.

“Jeez! You never let an opportunity to praise your wife pass you by. Now I know how protective you are.” Garrett shook his head. Staring at Ethan, he put down his crossed long legs and took another comfortable position.

‘Wow, this guy has changed so much!’ he thought. He had noticed some major changes in Ethan’s behavior these past few months. The previously cold and uptight Ethan was now warm and caring.

Lost in thought, Ethan leaned his back on the chair and stared blankly at Garrett. He suddenly snapped his fingers and said, “I have an idea. Since we can’t find the source of the rumor, we should try our best to provide Janet with all the resources she would need. Her works must be excellent so they will be selected to be displayed at the fashion show.”

Garrett was pleasantly surprised to hear this idea. He abruptly stood up and his eyes lit up. With his shoulder lifted, he asked, “Wait, does this mean you are going to strike the Lester family again?”

There was a subsidiary company under the auspices of the Lester Group. It was called the Lester Silk Fabric. Producing high-end clothes was its specialty. As a result, it was one of the biggest rivals of the Larson Group.

The major reason why the Larson Group came into the clothing business was to compete with the Lester Group. For the past few consecutive seasons of the Seacisco Fashion Week, the Lester Silk Fabric had come out first. Ethan thought that it would be a huge blow for the Lesters if the Larson Group clinched the first-place title this year.
