Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1358

This was a message from Clyde, featuring no text, only a photograph.

The image depicted Brandon and Suzanne in what appeared to be a moment of intimacy.

Janet, already dealing with the emotional toll of her health check-up, was thrown into chaos upon seeing the photograph. She felt an immediate wave of weakness wash over her and her phone slipped from her grasp, clattering onto the floor.

Seeing Janet's pallor and the despair etched on her face, Johanna's heart clenched. As she was about to pick up the phone to understand the cause of her daughter's distress, Janet swiftly retrieved it, whispering to herself, "The photo must be doctored, it has to be..."

"Janet..." This was the first time Johanna had seen her daughter in such a state. She was taken aback and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Ignoring her mother, Janet was absorbed in scrutinizing the photograph, desperately searching for inconsistencies.

After what felt like an eternity, she released a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's fabricated... I knew it, Brandon isn't that kind of person."

Upon calming down, Janet finally noticed the incongruities. While the two people in the image seemed extremely close, a closer inspection revealed that was because of the photograph's angle. Furthermore, the picture was taken in front of the Larson Group's building. Suzanne was professionally attired, and her demeanor was serious—it was apparent that she was there for business with

Brandon.

Janet couldn't suppress a sardonic chuckle.

She'd allowed herself to doubt Brandon because of a cleverly manipulated photograph.

However, even with the knowledge that the image was distorted, she felt a pang of discomfort.

Although things were currently stable between her and Brandon, there was no guarantee it would always be so. What if she couldn't bear children? Would Brandon leave her because of that?
