Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 497

After hesitating for a good while, Ethan then proceeded to tell them the truth.

Beal and Johanna couldn't believe their ears.

"Where is Lila?! I need to talk to her!" Beal couldn't believe that Lila would actually be capable of doing such a thing.

"She's no longer here in the hospital." Ethan glanced over at the expression etched on their faces. It really seemed like they couldn't believe it.

Johanna mulled it over in her head for a while and found it hard to believe that her daughter, whom she had raised for so many years, would actually do such a thing.

She started to have many doubts in her mind. "Why would Lila do such a thing?"

Ethan had always respected Beal and Johanna, but when he heard her question, he knew that she didn't believe a word he said. His eyes darkened visibly. "The two coaches have witnessed this matter, yet you're unwilling to believe me. Janet happens to be your biological daughter, Mrs. White. Lila wanted to get rid of her for a good reason. Are you going to defend a murderer who tried to kill your very own flesh and blood?"

His firm voice made Johanna startled for a complete moment there.

Johanna and Beal thought it over for a long time at the door. "Brandon, we raised Lila and have always treated her like our very own daughter. We'll investigate this matter, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions for the time being."

With a very calm and indifferent look on his face, Ethan said to them, "But Janet is your biological daughter. As her parents, you should be on her side no matter what."

He paused for a beat and went on to say, "Before you found Janet, Lila was considered your only daughter. But after Janet showed up, she must feel her limelight was stolen by Janet. She must really despise Janet from the bottom of her heart. With Janet out of the way, she could finally get her previous life back. Mrs. White, you've been in the business world for so many years now, you should know more about human nature than I do, am I right?"
