Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1153

Half an hour after Brenna's call, Draco returned to the studio with the design draft in his arms.

Elizabeth gently kicked Janet's leg under the table and murmured, "You have a good relationship with Mr. Wesley. Can you tell him about it for me?"

Elizabeth couldn't bring herself to inform Draco of such terrible news.

Janet nodded reluctantly as she understood Elizabeth's dilemma. She stood up and knocked on Draco's door.

"Come in."

Janet pushed open the door and walked in but hesitated to say anything for a while.

Draco looked at her meaningfully and got straight to the point, "Did Brenna call?"

Draco's voice was hoarse and evidently tired.

Janet noticed he sounded off but didn't probe any further. Instead, she answered dutifully, "You've guessed it. It's Brenna. She called to urge for the design draft. Her attitude was not good. It's most likely because I offended Mandy. Mr. Wesley, do you need me to explain to her?"

"No need. I'll handle it," Draco replied calmly and lowered his head, resuming his sketch.

Janet could not tell if he was serious or angry. She could only nod and was about to leave when suddenly, Draco said in a deep voice, "Brenna and Mandy's families are very close. They might be using this matter to pressure me. They want to make me yield to them."

Draco was a little rebellious. The more they

cornered him, the less likely he was to yield.

Janet paused for thought before replying in a low voice, "Okay, I'll inform everyone not to get involved." Draco nodded before adding, "I have something to deal with this afternoon. Get everyone to continue with their work as usual. Just don't let Mandy step foot into the studio again before the matter is settled."

Janet wanted to offer advice but couldn't figure him out. Sometimes, he could be very stubborn.
