The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 653

Janet fell silent for a long time.

She didn’t believe a single word that came out of Charis’s mouth.

Janet knew that Brandon wouldn’t give up on her so easily. He wouldn’t have rested until he found her.

Moreover, Brandon was not one to reconcile with his enemies. He was so hostile to Charis previously. Janet knew he wouldn’t even allow her to be around him.

Most importantly, he would never write off what Charis had done so easily.

Charis glanced at the time on her watch and broke into a smile. “Miss White, if you want to talk, we should do this some other time. I really have to go to that meeting with Brandon now. So sorry.”

She bowed her head slightly to show how “sorry” she was. Then she walked passed Janet almost arrogantly.

*******

Charis had expected that Janet would come looking for Brandon.

In fact, she had already prepared for her return.

When Charis heard from Brandon’s assistant that Janet and the Whites were waiting for him in the reception room, she reminded Brandon in a low voice that he didn’t like dealing with Janet’s parents before. “If you feel it’s too troublesome to face them now, I can handle it for you,” she then added.

After a few seconds of silence, Brandon nodded and then walked out.

Before that, Charis had mentioned to Brandon more than once that Janet was head over heels in love with him.

Charis made sure to plant an idea in Brandon’s mind that Janet was nothing but a hopeless romantic who was a disturbance to his work.

After all, Charis knew Brandon very well. When the two were in high school, countless girls chased after him. He’d politely refuse them initially, but if the girls kept pestering, he’d grow very impatient.

He hated hopeless romantics the most.

So the more Janet tried to get close to Brandon, the more he’d repel her.

Charis guessed that the reason why Brandon had a crush on Janet in the first place was that she had left a good impression on him when they first met.

This time, Janet wouldn’t be that lucky.

*******

Looking at Charis’s receding figure, Janet had to support herself on the wall. She felt a splitting headache and was at a total loss.

Charis was her enemy, but now, this woman somehow became the person that Brandon trusted the most. It was ridiculous!

Besides, Janet knew what kind of person Charis was.

After thinking for a while, she decided to keep on waiting for Brandon.

Once upon a time, Janet had believed something that Charis said, which resulted in a fight between her and Brandon. Learning from her past mistakes, Janet refused to believe anything Charis said now.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

As long as Brandon trusted Janet, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to deal with Charis together. But what worried Janet was whatever Charis had done to Brandon to make him change so dramatically.

Not only him, but the Larson Group also changed drastically. The employees had been replaced so wantonly. Brandon would never do such a thing. It seemed like Charis’s deliberate arrangement to prevent people from noticing Brandon’s abrupt change in personality.

What could Charis be hiding? Brandon… What had happened to him?

Janet’s mind raced as she waited quietly at the door of the meeting room.

No matter what it was, she wanted to hear it from Brandon himself.
