Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1103

Outside the White family villa, a dozen guards stood shoulder to shoulder, arms crossed over their chests, blocking Brandon's way. "Mr. Larson, please wait there."

Another groups of bodyguards in black stood behind Brandon.

The atmosphere between both sides was tense, but neither of them made the first move.

A few minutes later, the front door opened from the inside, and Johanna walked out. She was dressed in fur and looked radiant. Although her face showed no friendliness. "Brandon, whose bluff do you think you're calling here?"

"I'm here to take Janet home, Mrs. White." Brandon stood straight, shoulders back, and head held high. He refused to lose his composure in a confrontation with Johanna.

"What home? Isn't this her home?" Johanna asked scornfully.

She was already dissatisfied with her son-in-law. This display of defiance made her hate him more. He arrived with empty hands, and she heard no regret in his voice, no admission of guilt.

Fearing that Johanna might burn their last bridge, Beal followed her outside. "We are family, not enemies."

"Beal, come here now!" Johanna threw him a cold glance. Beal stood behind her obediently. Johanna motioned to the guards to part and let her through. She pursed her lips and jutted her chin. "It's entirely your fault this time. You must show some humility if you want to win Janet back. Otherwise, no one

else can save your marriage."

"Honey, please, let's be civil. What's done is done," Beal whispered in Johanna's ear. "It's between the two of them after all."

"I'm supporting Janet. Something we should have done a long time ago. If you are partial to Brandon Larson, perhaps you should move in with him." Johanna glared at Beal.

Brandon wanted to thank his father-in-law for his support. He extended a sincere invitation. "Mr. White, if you ever want to move in with me, you are more than welcome. Any time."

Beal shook his head. "Thank you, but I prefer my own bed and my dear wife. You two will have to discuss this without me. I'm in the middle of cooking."
