Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 546

Mastermind

Over the past couple of weeks, things hadn't been going too well for Janet. What Lila had done really left a mark on her.

Noticing that Janet looked a little frustrated, Elizabeth invited her to go shopping that weekend to get her mind off of things.

Elizabeth, who seldom even talked to others, suddenly invited her to hang out, so Janet found herself unable to refuse.

Compared with Seacisco, the malls in Barnes were more accessible and down to earth. On holidays and even weekends, there would be all kinds of interesting events held in the shopping malls.

As soon as they stepped inside the mall, Janet saw throngs of people bustling about.

Elizabeth was tall and fashionable, while Janet was incredibly pretty and petite. The two women with vastly different styles soon attracted people's attention.

Janet looked around in search of any store she'd be interested in. Suddenly, her eyes landed on a man with a sunken face among the crowd.

It was Jeff.

When did he get out of prison?

Before Janet could figure it out, she saw that Jeff was holding a bottle of pale yellow liquid. He glared at her with a ferocious look, like a wild beast eyeing its prey. "Bitch, go to hell!"

As he spoke, he pushed through the crowd and rushed at Janet. But before he could open the bottle of sulfuric acid, a group of men in black suddenly emerged and tackled him to the ground. Seeing this, the crowd burst into an uproar and scattered like mice.

Amidst the chaos, the bottle of sulfuric acid was thrown to the ground and shattered. The liquid made a sizzling sound, steaming in the air and emitting a horrible smell.

"Who the fuck are you? Let go of me, you bastards!" Jeff's head was forcibly pressed down to the ground by the men in black. He pounded the floor with his fists and craned his neck to glare at Janet with hatred.

Just then, a man in a grey tracksuit and a black baseball cap emerged from behind the men in black.

With his chin slightly raised, Ethan glanced at his men and said, "Take him away."

Janet was still in a state of shock. She walked up to Ethan and asked doubtfully, "I thought Jeff was supposed to be in prison? How'd he get out so soon?"

"Some time ago, a prison guard informed me that he had been released in advance." When Ethan found out about this, he too was confused.

It seemed that someone was taking action behind the scenes.
