Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1160

"Janet started it," Brenna whispered in Ewing's ear. Ewing gripped his wife's wrist. His voice was calm and even as he said, "Don't make trouble. I organized this dinner for Brandon."

"You..." Annoyed, Brenna shook off his hand and marched away.

"I'm sorry. My wife is not in good spirits. I'll speak to her later. Mr. Larson, please go on and enjoy the party. It's an honor to have you here." With a wry smile, Ewing trotted after Brenna.

"Don't be reckless. Don't you know what all this is for?" Ewing said unhappily. He tugged her sleeve and spoke in a gentle, consoling tone, "You frequently espouse the value of generosity. Why spoil it with pettiness now?"

Normally, Brenna didn't hold grudges. She was the wife of a diplomat and famous for her magnanimity.

However, Janet had embarrassed her in front of so many rich ladies; Brenna could still hear their laughter.

She couldn't just forgive Janet.

"Do you think I do this for myself?" Brenna sounded aggrieved. "I must avenge Mandy. You have no idea how brutally she's been bullied by Janet. She always comes to me, crying."

Frowning, Ewing asked, "Why does Mandy always come to you? We won't discuss this tonight. You are the hostess. Brandon represents the outstanding talents we are celebrating, and Janet is his wife. We don't want to become their enemies. Don't forget how much Brandon loves his wife. If you bully her,

you will bring the force of the entire Larson Group against us!"

Brenna understood what he meant, so she followed him back to Brandon.
