The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet)

In the ward, Garrett and Laney were having a heart-to-heart talk. Janet did not want to disturb them. Since Lola was still locked up and hadn't been dealt with, she decided on dealing with Lola first. "Let me out! You can't keep me in captivity here. This is illegal!"

Lola screamed her threats at Mesue. "Do you know who I work for? A mere bodyguard like you can't afford to offend the Harding family."

Mesue kept a straight face, letting her words in one ear and out the other.

Janet wasn't expecting to see Lola still this arrogant. With a sneer, she looked at Lola coldly.

When Lola finally saw Janet, she fell silent for a moment, then craned her neck and pretended to be calm. "Janet, let me out. I'm working for Mr. Harding. You won't really dare hurt me, right? You can't go against the Harding family."

Lola was so foolish and naive that it amused Janet. "From what I know, you have a younger brother studying in Barnes. You came here for him, right?"

Lola's heart tightened. Fear rose in her chest, making her breathing slow. "What do you want?"

Janet spoke slowly, making sure her every word was clear. "From now on, no one from your family is allowed to set foot on Barnes again. As for you, you can confess your sins in prison for the rest of your life." The serious look on Janet's face, matched with the severity of her statement, made Lola tremble in fear. Her face turned paper white as she shouted, "I

don't believe you! Mr. Harding will help me! Miss Gibson won't let me suffer here!"

Coldly, Janet smiled and said, "This is what Garrett had wanted. You attempted to hurt his wife. Do you really expect his father to save you? The Harding family won't help you now. Do you really think Mr. Harding will choose you, a mere assistant over his son?"

Lola looked like a ghost now. She stared at Janet, eyes blank and lips trembling.

"You're lucky Laney is fine now." Janet looked Lola straight in the eyes. Her voice was chilling when she continued, "Otherwise, you will be charged with homicide. You'll be a murderer because you conspired with Kailee to kill Laney. Now Kailee could only be desperate to get rid of you, how can she possibly help you?"

Lola's heart sank. "Kailee... She lied to me... I had no idea she was planning on killing Mrs. Harding..."

However, her chance to repent had passed. It was too late now.

Garrett's men were already quietly waiting at the door. When Janet and Lola's conversation was over, they stormed in and took Lola out. They covered her mouth and all she could do was whimper.

"Waah... Waah..."

Lola struggled hard, but she was too weak to resist the brute force of a group of strong men. No matter how desperate she was to break away, she couldn't do anything to prevent them from dragging her. Despite seeing that Lola was finally getting dragged out, the anger in Janet's heart was still raging.

Laney almost died. How could she calm down?

Brandon let out a dragged sigh. He had been following her silently all this time. Wrapping Janet in his arms, he patted her head softly while comforting her, "Don't worry. It's all over. Both Laney and her baby are fine.

As for Kailee, I'm sure Garrett will deal with her well. He will never let go of anyone who hurt Laney. VI

Janet buried her head in Brandon's arms. Her voice was muffled as she said, "I was so scared. Laney almost died. Brandon, do you think something like that would happen to me?"

Holding Janet tightly in his arms, Brandon promised solemnly, "No. I promise to protect you the best I can. I will never put you in any harm."

The whole day, Janet had been nothing but anxious. Only now had she finally relaxed. She held on to Brandon tightly, releasing the tension on her shoulders and the fear in her heart. Tears burst out from her eyes.

With a sigh, Brandon kept Janet wrapped in his arms, not minding the tears that soaked his expensive designer suit.
