Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 184

Janet saw the morning news and found that Fiona was arrested.

The Lind Group was a bit famous in Seacisco.

Just then, Hannah came out of the kitchen to call Janet for breakfast. Seeing her staring at the TV absentmindedly, Hannah followed her gaze and saw the news. "They should have arrested her a long time ago! Without old Mr. Lind, the family and its business have been falling apart with every passing day."

"But, Hannah, the company has been running without Grandpa all these years." Janet turned and smiled at her, not bothering to pay attention to the TV anymore.

Hannah scoffed. "The Linds have done a lot of bad deeds over the years. I think it's time for retribution."

Janet grabbed Hannah's shoulder and stood up. "Well, stop thinking about it. After all, we have nothing to do with the Lind family anymore. It's all over."

She had decided to let go of the past after severing all ties with the Lind family.

However, Hannah was old, so she couldn't stop nagging Janet. She sat down and continued to watch the news. "I wonder who did it."

Janet took a sip of milk and shook her head. "I don't have a clue. Fiona has done a lot of bad things, so I'm not surprised. Besides, the Lind family was already on the brink of downfall. It was just a matter of time before they went bankrupt."

Janet wasn't in the mood to discuss their misfortunate, so she ate quickly. After all, she had nothing to do with the Lind family and didn't care about them anymore.

She didn't like the mundane city life where people lived like robots. The neighbors used to invite Hannah home, and they would dance together. But considering she was a slow learner, they had stopped calling her. The life in the countryside seemed happy and peaceful. She could grow vegetables and breed chickens and ducks to kill time.

Janet held the coat and looked at Hannah. "Can't you stay with me for a couple more days? Living in the countryside on your own isn't easy. I have planned to buy a house nearby once I save up money. You would move in with me, won't you?" "Well, there is no one to take care of my vegetables. I have to go back. Otherwise, they will rot in the field." Hannah didn't want to leave Janet, either. But going back to her house seemed right because she didn't want to disturb the young couple. Besides, she could never get used to the busy city life.

Janet sighed and nodded. "Fine, I'll book a taxi to drop you home after work."

It was almost eleven in the evening when Janet
