Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 458

"I've asked a maid to prepare your room. You can use this one for the time being." Johanna personally escorted Janet to her designated room. The decoration was quaint and a little old-fashioned, but there were many plush dolls in it, which gave the room a strange and funny vibe.

Looking at all the plushies, Johanna smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know what you'd like, so I ended up buying all these dolls..."

In Johanna's mind, Janet was the baby she had lost all those years ago. They were practically strangers to each other now.

Janet looked at the dolls and chuckled softly. "I've never had so many toys before. Thank you, Mrs. White."

For now, she couldn't bring herself to call Johanna "Mom" yet.

Seeing that Janet didn't seem to have a problem with the room, Johanna breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily. "I won't force you. Just take your time. Well, you just stay here and make yourself comfortable. Your father and I have discussed, and we have decided to hold a big party for the announcement as soon as possible." "There's no rush..." Janet said falteringly, trying to stop Johanna.

She wasn't used to her new status as the daughter of the White family, but Johanna and

Beal couldn't wait to tell the world.

Noticing the embarrassment on Janet's face, Johanna reached for her hand and said sincerely, "You are our daughter. You'll have to get used to it one day. Your father and I were talking and... We were hoping to have your surname changed. Since the Lind family has nothing to do with you now, you don't have to keep their surname anymore."

Janet nodded. She didn't care about the Lind family name anyway now that she married to Ethan.

All of Barnes's upper class was in an uproar the next morning.

The White family had just announced that their daughter, who had been missing for over twenty years, was finally found. Johanna revealed Janet's identity to the public and changed the latter's surname to White.

The White family invited all the celebrities and influential people in Barnes to their dinner party.

That night, they all gathered in the White Cloud Club.

The security of this banquet was strict, and Johanna specially ordered that no stray entertainment reporter was allowed inside.

Those kinds of reporters tended to cover nonsense. She didn't want her daughter to be scrutinized on the Internet, so she took all the necessary precautions to avoid it.

It was the first time Janet had attended such a grand party. And she was under the spotlight. Johanna introduced her to many esteemed guests.

Throughout the entire night, Janet heard countless names.

"Is it tiring?" Seeing the exhausted look on Janet's face, Beal gave her a slice of cake, feeling sorry for her.

Over the past few days, Johanna had taken up all of Janet's time. Beal felt a little sad that he hadn't had a good talk with his daughter yet.

Janet subtly rubbed her aching ankles. She was wearing a pair of 3-inch heels tonight.
