Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 360

Laney managed to duck away in time, however, Garrett wasn't able to. He stood there in a complete daze as the food splattered all over his tailored suit.

He was usually very gentle and tolerant towards women, but when he saw Tracey throwing tantrums in public, it was hard for him not to get angry.

Fortunately, he was a well-educated man and exhibited none of the anger he was feeling at the time. "Tracey, people are dining here. Don't embarrass yourself as well as ruin their night."

After having said that, he went on to say in a calm voice, "I'll never do anything that's against moral codes. You can make a scene if you want but don't do it in a public place. Let's discuss some more about this after we get back, all right?" Noticing that he appeared angry, Tracey became timid and didn't say a word. Garrett grabbed hold of her hand and they proceeded to walk out of the restaurant together.

Before he left, Garrett turned to look back at Laney and apologized, "I need to head out now. Please let Ethan and Janet know that the restaurant damages and the meal will be on me."

Afterward, he said after a moment of hesitation, "I'm sorry you had an unpleasant meal just now. I'll make it up to you later."

Watching his receding back, Laney didn't say a word. It was not until Garrett was gone did she start to help the staff clean up the mess.

Laney kept her face devoid of expression, but she certainly felt stuffy in her chest.

She didn't do anything wrong, but today, she was treated like a mistress and a slut. She played the role as Garrett's secretary simply to stay close to Janet and protect her. She never wanted to get involved in Garrett's private life in the first place. With that in mind, how could she sleep with him? But now, she was being called an ambitious slut who tried to sleep her way to the top, which was ridiculous.

Ten minutes later.

Ethan proceeded to walk out of the bathroom holding Janet's hand in his. Janet walked slowly with her cheeks blushing and her lips swollen.
