Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 376

Janet had no idea what had been happening outside.

Stewing in her own anxiety, she locked herself up at home. She drew all the curtains shut, plunging the room in depressing shadows.

The fridge was empty. Ethan went out to buy some food. When Janet peeked through the curtain to look outside, winter dusk greeted her, which very much looked like nighttime.

There was still a large group of fans besieging the neighborhood, especially their building. Janet sighed. She was about to look away when a new wave of commotion seemed to stir the crowd.

Everyone was still very agitated. They were looking at something on their phones and discussing animatedly among themselves. However, the "Janet, apologize" banners had gone down, and no one screamed and cursed at Janet's window anymore.

Janet felt that the angry mob was no longer upset with her. They seemed to have calmed down a bit. The security guards blew the whistles and dispersed the crowd. Finally, they were able to clear a path through the gate.

Janet's phone then rang.

Because the room was as silent as a tomb, the sound startled Janet. She rushed to find her phone and answer the call.

It was Laney.

Since Janet and Laney parted at the staircase, they hadn't contacted each other. Janet felt that since she was the target of public criticism now, she might get Laney in trouble if she kept communicating with her.

"Janet? Have you checked your phone?" Laney asked in an excited voice, which was rare. She usually spoke in a nonchalant monotone.
