Ethan was stunned and started coughing.
How could he make it work?
Currently, technology wasn't advanced enough to create a person who looked exactly the same as him and who could interact with him face to face.
"My idea is the exact opposite. Indeed, Brandon might know something about this. He just so happens to be the CEO of the Larson Group, so, of course, he knows more about this than we do. But he didn't say this right out. He must have his own reasons for this. It's better not to rush into meeting up with him. Furthermore, we happen to be very different in our social statuses. If it turns out we're not related, it would be very embarrassing, am I right?" Ethan explained all this in a whisper.
Janet scrutinized his face carefully. Something occurred to her right then. Could it be possible that Brandon and Ethan were actually the same person?
But as soon as she thought of that, she shook the idea from her mind. How could that be possible? This was Brandon Larson. He was one of the richest men in Seacisco. How could he and Ethan be the same man?
She tossed the idea out of her head and thought Ethan's explanation made more sense. They were only ordinary people. If Ethan went to see Brandon just like that and told him that they were twin brothers, Brandon might take it that they wanted to milk him for money.
Furthermore, there had been a lot of rumors circulating about her in the Larson Group already. If something were to happen again, everyone would point their fingers at Ethan as well. She didn't want that to happen at all.
"Just forget about it. But it really seems that you two look alike. If you saw him with your own eyes, you would be as startled as me how much you guys resemble each other." With a heavy sigh, Janet embraced Ethan tightly to her.
Fortunately, Ethan was only an ordinary man who she could enjoy the rest of her life with, without any complications or bother from the outside world.
"Maybe I'll get to meet him some other time." A smile popped up on Ethan's face right then; however, it happened to be a forced one.
Knowing that Janet suspected something already, he had to speed up his plan. He couldn't keep this from Janet for long. The thing he wanted the most now was to get her to live in the biggest mansion in Seacisco and for everyone to look up to her.
