Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 655

From outside the window, clouds gathered and the strong winds howled wildly. Lightning lit up the skies. A rainstorm was brewing.

Suddenly, thunder roared, and the lightning lit up Janet's shocked expression.

But Brandon didn't give a damn. He didn't say anything to comfort her. Instead, he walked out of the office without another word.

Janet watched him leave with tearful eyes. She didn't even try to stop him.

And even if she did, she wouldn't know what to say to this cold and aloof Brandon.

Brandon was like a completely different person now. He would never be so impatient with her before. When she looked into his malicious eyes just now, she found herself unable to even breathe.

How could she face her husband, who was now a complete stranger to her?

Janet felt like her whole world was crumbling down.

The Whites took shelter in a five-star hotel during their stay in Seacisco. They texted Janet, telling her not to worry too much.

Beal also mentioned that he had asked someone to investigate what had happened to Brandon the past few days. As Janet's parents, they couldn't just go back to Barnes without finding out what happened to her husband.

Soon after they checked into the hotel, they received a call from Draco. Draco said that he was calling because he was worried about Janet. Johanna knew that they wouldn't be able to solve Janet's problem any time soon, so she asked Draco if Janet could file for a long-term leave from the company, to which the latter agreed.

As the thunder roared outside the window, it rained cats and dogs.

With every passing minute, Johanna grew more and more worried about her daughter. Before long, she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door and found Janet staring blankly into space, drenched to the core.

Johanna was taken aback. She hurriedly pulled Janet inside the room and asked, "It's raining so hard outside. Didn't Brandon drive you home?"

Judging from the expression on Janet's face, it seemed that the conversation between her and Brandon didn't go so well.
