Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1088

"Janet!"

"Honey!"

Beal and Johanna exclaimed.

Brandon's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected Janet to appear so soon after entering the kitchen.

"Janet, let me explain." He walked toward Janet and tried to grab her arm.

However, she took a step back and shrugged off his hand.

Her smile was bitter. "Don't try to defend yourself.

I heard the conversation clearly."

Janet had been cooking in the kitchen. She realized she needed butter but couldn't find where it was kept. She had planned to ask her parents and arrived at the living room door where she overheard a fierce quarrel between Brandon and her mother.

She was tempted to intervene, but as she listened, she learned his astonishing secret.

Recently, she had received files from Vivian's flash drive. They didn't seemed important, just some data about the Larson Group.

She had no idea one critical file was missing. Moreover, Brandon was the one had deleted the file to hide his condition from her.

Janet removed her apron and was about to leave. Brandon tried to stop her.

Eyes full of tears, Janet said, "Why stop me? You don't trust me at all. In your heart, I'm already expendable."

Standing between her and the door, Brandon gazed

helplessly at his wife. He reached for her hand and said, "Listen. It's not that I don't trust you."
