Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1118

"Did Derek send them?" Elizabeth quickly surmised that it must be Derek. He was always one to flaunt his wealth and make a scene.

"Derek is out of his mind! He isn't even in Barnes anymore," Janet exclaimed, shocked and at a loss for words. She picked up the bouquet, ready to toss it away. "I'll have to give him a piece of my mind someday."

Elizabeth then noticed a card nestled in the flowers and had a sudden thought. She reminded Janet, "Hold on, don't throw them away just yet. You should read the card first."

Janet dismissed the idea of reading the card, believing Derek had given up after their previous encounter. Despite Janet's dismissive words, she couldn't help but grab the card and flip it over in frustration.

She abruptly stopped speaking.

The card was written in Brandon's handwriting.

Elizabeth noticed that Janet's face was reddening and approached her and asked, "These don't appear to be from Derek, do they? Did Brandon send them? What did he say? Please show me what's written on the card."

Janet hastily concealed the card, licked her lips, and grinned. "Oh, it's nothing. Just a few words of apology."

Brandon's card contained a heartfelt apology, expressing regret for their sexual encounter the night before and how it might have clouded Janet's judgment. He wrote that he wanted to make things right and win her back.

"It would be a shame to throw away these flowers.

Maybe you can share them with everyone here if you don't want to keep them." Elizabeth looked around and suggested.

The flowers caught the attention of Janet's colleagues, who were all surprised and gathered around to admire them. "Lilies are so rare this season. These must have cost a fortune! How generous of your admirer!"

"Could it be from Derek, the model? I heard he's a big movie star now."
