The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Ethan sat in his office, a beam of light streaming through his floor-to-ceiling windows and falling on his voice.

His eyes softened as he listened to Janet’s voice through the phone.

"Yes, I did have a hand in exposing your sister’s substitution matter and your parents’ debt.The Lind family does business with a lot of notable partners, so it’s only a matter of course that they try to save their reputation as soon as possible.That’s probably why they decided to finally pay you what they owe.They have no other choice at this point."

Garrett rarely heard Ethan speak this much in one breath.

On the other side of the line, Janet frowned.

Ethan sounded calm and casual about his explanation, but she knew it couldn’t have been so simple.

"Tell me the truth.Did you spend a lot of money to make this happen?"

"Of course not.It cost nothing just to spread a bit of news.You’re thinking too much."

Ethan’s tone remained patient.He swiveled his chair and looked out of his massive office windows.

Garrett struggled to contain his laughter and ended up snorting.
