Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 291

The dinner party was held in a fancy French restaurant.

"Lind, would you like to have a drink with me?" Tiffany was swiveling a glass of red wine in her hand, swaying it towards Janet. She glanced around the crowd before darting her eyes back to Janet.

With sincerity, she said, "I'm sure it must've been difficult for you to showcase the limits of your talent under all that pressure. I know what kind of person you are. Truthfully, I'd rather not say anything else. Different people have different views. Right now, I just want to drink this glass of wine with you first."

Upon hearing Tiffany's remark, all the employees of the company fell silent.

Amidst the quiet atmosphere, someone stood up and joked, "We didn't think that Lind was very capable. She looks pretty meek. We're actually surprised that she's so incredible! Perhaps we should try to get along better after this drink?"

'This could be a way to overturn the previous rumors circulating about me,' Janet thought.

She took a sip of wine and smiled at Tiffany. With a reserved smile, she said, "Thanks, everyone. I appreciate that."

Now that she had cleared things out, Janet was over the moon.

When the dinner party came to an end, she received two messages; one from the bank, and one from Brandon. He said that he had given her a bonus.

It was a large sum of money.

This time, Janet accepted the money without any qualms. She had spent lots of time and energy for the fashion week in Seacisco, and she had indeed made great contributions to the event. Since she was just an ordinary woman who was short of money, Janet accepted the bonus gratefully. She sent Brandon some words of gratitude to express how grateful she was.

The dinner party didn't last very long. Most of the company's employees were married, so they had to go back to their families and take care of them.

Around eight in the evening, Janet's colleagues sent her home.

Unable to restrain her excitement, she started humming a song while she was changing her shoes.

"You seem pretty happy. What's going on?" When Ethan heard the door open, he came out to have a look.

He was holding the clothes that he had just taken out of the dryer. His broad shoulders, narrow waist, and the simple white tank top he wore made him look even more muscular.
