Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 270

Charis's heart skipped a beat when she heard Ethan's serious voice.

Despite the angry expression on his face, she kept her cool and went over to take a look at his phone. She then said with an innocent expression, "What is this? I know nothing about this. Honestly, I didn't hear it ring because I was engrossed in the files. I would have informed you if I heard it ring."

Without saying anything further, Ethan checked his call log and saw that his phone had only rung once. He then pondered, 'Perhaps Charis might be telling the truth. It seems like Janet only called once. It's possible that she didn't hear the phone ring.'

The clock was ticking fast. Ethan didn't have any time to think deeper about it, so he glanced her expressionlessly and walked out of the office with his phone.

The moment he turned his back, the innocent expression on Charis's face disappeared. She stomped her foot and bit her lower lip in anger.

Garrett nervously followed Ethan out.

"When exactly did the car accident happen? Why didn't you tell me as soon as it happened? Don't you know that this is a serious matter?" As Ethan walked down the corridor, he dialed a number and placed his phone against his ear. His voice sounded anxious. He also had a sullen expression on his face as if he was trying so hard to suppress his anger. It was also obvious that he was seriously worried about Janet.

Garrett hadn't meant to keep him in the dark. He had only found out about the accident some minutes earlier than Ethan got wind of it.

Laney, the bodyguard who he had hired to protect Janet hadn't returned to the organization for the whole night. No one could even get in touch with her. It was only when Garrett received that message that he realized that something was wrong. The GPS tracker on Laney's motorcycle indicated that it was parked on a bridge. Coincidentally, a traffic accident occurred at that same spot a few hours ago.

There were many rescue officials and police officers on the brightly lit bridge at this time. The scene of the accident was sealed with caution tapes. There were also five police cars and a fire service truck. Some meters away, several reporters from television stations reported the news live and even scrambled to get more information. Some rogue ones wanted to bypass the barricade, but they were stopped by the frowning police officers. The entire scene was a mess.
