Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1077

Brandon clinked glasses with Janet and smiled. "Congratulations."

Garrett, on the other hand, looked down at his glass and frowned. "Why didn't you clink glasses with me, Brandon?"

"The Harding Group and the Larson Group are still competitors. Compared to you, I think my wife is more trustworthy," Brandon said with a smile before taking a sip of his champagne leisurely.

"You can't just line me up with the Harding family!" Garrett clenched his jaw and put his glass down. "Besides, why didn't you say that when you started a business with me?"

At that point, he was about to grab Brandon by the collar and settle this matter through the way men usually turned to—a fight, but Janet stopped him before he could do so.

"Don't fight!" Janet said, her soft voice breaking the tense atmosphere as she stood in between them.

Garrett frowned and clenched his fists. "I've only been away from the Larson Group for a few months, but he already treats me like a complete stranger. It seems like I have to beat him up so he can finally recall the past when we used to fight side by side."

Janet's eyes widened in shock. "Hell no! Are you out of your mind? Why are you being so narrow-minded, Garrett? Brandon is right. You're not a part of the Larson Group now and you're busy with the Harding Group's business. If we tell you about Vivian, it'll only bring you even more trouble."

"Don't think you're so superior just because your wife is protecting you, Brandon!" Garrett exclaimed.

He became even more infuriated upon noticing Brandon's indifferent look.

He also had a loving wife, and she was good at fighting too.

At that thought, Garrett suddenly missed Laney so much. If she were here, she wouldn't let him get bullied like this.

"Don't fight, you two," Janet said before shifting her gaze to Brandon. "Garrett is your best friend. Don't let him down like this."

Brandon went silent for a few seconds before he retorted, "Garrett used to be magnanimous and altruistic, but who knows he'd become so narrowminded now that he's going to be a father."

"You asshole!" Garrett clenched his jaw in anger. He then picked up his glass and gulped the champagne down before he looked back at Brandon and snorted. "You know what? Fine. I'll let that slide since I'm the bigger man here."

After he said that, he drank two more glasses of champagne.

Janet was worried that Garrett might get drunk if he continued to drink like that, so she held his glass and stopped him. "Don't drink too much. You're going to accompany Laney tonight, aren't you? Pregnant women usually don't like the smell of alcohol."

"I'll stay in a hotel, then!" Garrett glared at her.
