Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1329

Just as Janet was unsure of how to proceed, her vision suddenly went dark.

Brandon had removed his suit jacket and placed it over her head.

The car door was opened, and with Brandon's protection, Janet exited the vehicle.

As soon as they stepped out, a journalist holding a microphone made his way through the crowd towards them, asking, "Excuse me, may I..."

But before the journalist could finish, he was silenced by Brandon's sharp, icy gaze.

His commanding presence was a testament to his role as the CEO of Larson Group. His mere look was enough to instill fear in these seasoned journalists, prompting them to instinctively halt their probing questions.

The Larson Group held sway over a significant portion of the economic lifeline of Barnes, solidifying Brandon's unmatched influence and power in the city. Any missteps against him could result in losing their footing in Barnes with just a flick of his wrist.

Recognizing the potential consequences, the reporters didn't dare to further obstruct Janet for an interview. They could only watch as she and Brandon made their way into the studio.

Sean, having served by Brandon's side for many years, viewed this scene as routine. With the bodyguards, he quickly dispersed the media and onlookers, ensuring his boss and Janet could enter the studio unhindered.

Though she was engulfed in darkness, Janet felt a sense of relief as the commotion around her gradually subsided, and she found herself securely in Brandon's arms. Her tense nerves started to relax slightly.

Fortunately... Brandon was there with her.

As soon as they stepped into the office, they were greeted by the sound of mournful sobbing.

Janet returned Brandon's jacket to him and, with a stern expression, calmly walked deeper into the office.

Seeing them approach, Lexi quickly ran over. Her usually cheerful eyes were red and teary, her expression a mix of confusion and distress.
