Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 177

"What could I possibly hide from you?" Ethan shrugged and continued to put the dishes into the sink. Although he seemed calm, his heart was racing in his chest.

Janet was a smart woman, and hiding the truth from her wasn't easy.

Ethan hoped for her to stop overanalyzing everything and just let him help her.

"I mean, did you go to see Brandon again? Otherwise, why would he help me again?" Janet frowned and studied his face. Something seemed fishy.

Why would Brandon find the fraud group that had deceived Hannah and eradicate it without Janet informing him about the details?

Janet didn't doubt Brandon's capability but was still confused about his intentions.

Ethan took out a can of beer from the fridge, opened it, and gulped it down. Leaning against the fridge, he cast a sidelong glance at Janet. "Brandon is different from us. People like him always have everything planned. We can hardly find out what he is thinking. Perhaps he thinks you're an asset to the company. That's probably why he is being friendly with you. Helping you might be an investment that could reap a lot of benefits in the future."

Janet took what he said with a pinch of salt.

Ethan's expression was unreadable. She couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or hiding something from her.

She opened and closed her mouth, not knowing what to say. Ethan could tell that she still doubted him. He sighed and sat beside her. "I think you're overthinking this. Your boss thinks highly of you; I don't think he has any hidden motive. You have to be proud of yourself."

"I just want to know the truth. Ethan, tell me. I won't be mad at you even if you meet Brandon without telling me." Janet held Ethan's arm and sized him up.

Ethan had always been a determined man. Garrett always considered him to be a sophisticated man. No one in the business world could read his mind, but his judgment was always right.
