Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 381

Right after Janet walked out of the cafe, she started thinking about Brandon.

'Kent wouldn't joke about this. And besides, his words do make sense. If the paparazzi have Emani's secrets, they wouldn't be hiding it for so long without a good reason.'

"Could it really be Brandon again this time?" Janet muttered as she looked up at the sky and the falling snow from above. Her eyes soon dimmed.

She fished out her phone and looked for his number. It had been so long since they last spoke to each other. The last time he texted her was to tell her about the bonus.

She soon texted him a message. This time, she was determined to know the truth.

Though she wasn't the smartest person in the world, she wasn't stupid either. She knew that Brandon wouldn't help her for no reason. He probably had a purpose and she wanted to know what it was.

Brandon didn't respond immediately. In fact, her message remained unread for quite a while.

And so, she put her phone back into her pocket. It was getting dark outside. Oddly enough, she realized she hadn't received any response for the message she sent to Ethan, either.

Upon arriving at home, Janet rummaged through

her bag for a few minutes, but her keys were nowhere to be found. She scratched the back of her head, trying to figure out where she might've left it. Then, she remembered that she was in a hurry to get off work, so she must've left her keys on the desk in the office.

She leaned against the door, ringing the doorbell a few times. But then, nobody answered. It seemed as though Ethan hadn't come back yet.

Fortunately, the company was just a ten minute walk away from where she lived. She could drop by the company again to get her keys.
