The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 1

It was a hot summer day. The downpour seemed to make the climate more humid. The bus was teeming with people.

Janet Lind got out of the bus with her luggage. As she looked around, her gaze landed on Bernie Lind — he was standing at the exit of the bus station. He looked much older now, and his hair had turned grey. “Dad,” she called, biting her lip.

Seacisco had changed a lot in the past few years.

Bernie opened the door and entered the villa with Janet’s suitcase.
