Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 654

Evening fell in Seacisco. The skies turned purple and blue, slowly covering the city in darkness, and the streetlights lit up one by one.

Janet had been waiting outside the meeting room for a long time.

She stared out the window blankly. Brandon's strange behavior earlier kept replaying in her mind. Suddenly, someone called her name from behind.

"Janet!"

Janet turned around and found Tiffany standing behind her.

"When did you get back to Seacisco? And why didn't you tell me you were here?"

Tiffany complained, smiling playfully. She had only heard from her colleagues that Janet was back, so she came to see her as soon as she got off work.

However, the second she saw Janet's face, she instantly knew that something was wrong. "What happened? You look pale."

Janet forced a smile. "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm just waiting for Brandon."

Sensing that Janet didn't want to talk about it, Tiffany didn't press her further. The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries. Just as Tiffany was about to leave, Janet suddenly asked,

"Has anything big happened in the Larson Group recently?"

With pursed lips, Janet looked especially grim.

Tiffany squinted slightly as she mulled over Janet's question. Then she broke into a smile. "Yes, something did happen somewhat recently." "What?" Janet looked at her expectantly, her heart racing.

Perhaps what Tiffany was about to say had something to do with the sudden change in Brandon's character!

"Well, we set up a branch in Barnes, and it's been prospering. I also heard that Brandon plans to bring the company to the northwest. That's something big, isn't it? Perhaps in the near future, the Larson Group's branches will be all over the country! You're so lucky you married such a capable man, Mrs. Larson!" Tiffany joked with a silly grin.

Janet forced a smile, albeit bitter. The expectant look in her eyes clouded over.

Even after Tiffany left, Janet continued to wait for Brandon. While she waited, many new employees passed by and looked at her strangely, wondering who she could be and what her business here was.

Janet smiled bitterly.

In the past, she never showed off the prestige that came with the title of "Mrs. Larson". But now that she was practically erased from Brandon's life and nobody seemed to know that they used to be a loving couple, Janet felt suffocated.

Still, she refused to leave. The night went on and her eyelids began to droop, so she leaned against the wall and almost fell asleep.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard the sound of a door opening.

When Janet opened her eyes, she found a large group of people walking out of the meeting room with Brandon.
