Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 136

"What?! Why would you want to do that?" Fiona blurted, stomping her foot anxiously.

Although she hated Janet to her core, she never considered cutting ties with her.

After all, although Ethan was just an illegitimate child of the Lester family, it was still the fastest way for Fiona to forge a relationship with them. She had tirelessly wondered how to benefit from her adopted daughter's husband.

However, Fiona hadn't even seen Ethan's two brothers since he married Janet.

This whole time, she had been waiting for an opportunity to introduce Jocelyn to his brothers. That way, Jocelyn would have a chance to marry into the Lester family.

This was Fiona's elaborate plan, which was why she was shocked that Janet wanted to sever their relationship.

"You hired someone to rape me. Do you really think I'm an idiot and a pushover? Of course I want to cut all ties with you!" Janet was so angry that she laughed bitterly.

Fiona narrowed her eyes at Janet, wondering if she could still take advantage of her despite the odds.

But Janet didn't want to waste time here anymore. "If you disagree to my terms, I'll call the police. It's as simple as that."

Without waiting for a response, she turned around to leave.

Bernie stomped angrily and pointed at Fiona, nostrils flaring. "What the hell were you thinking? Now that things have come to this, severing ties should be the least of your worries! Why in God's name are you hesitating?"

Fiona turned and whined in Bernie's ear, "We've fed and clothed her for years. I can't just let her go like this!"

If they severed ties, Fiona would no longer be able to dangle Janet on a string, using the fact that their family had taken her in to guilt her.

Bernie's face contorted in anger. He had no idea that Fiona was so shameless.

"Then go to jail! I don't give a damn, you hopeless woman!"

"Why, you—!" Fiona gritted her teeth and glared at Bernie angrily.

She was doing all of this for the sake of the Lind family after all. In this way, Jocelyn would find a good husband and that bitch Janet would never dare to talk to them like this ever again!

"Have you decided yet? If it'll help you choose faster, I'll call the police already." Without waiting for a response, Janet picked up her phone and unlocked it.

"No! Don't you dare call the police!" Fiona tried to yank the phone out of Janet's hands, but Janet dodged her advance deftly.
