Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 787

Janet and her bodyguard continued to walk on. In order to lure Jorge out, they made sure to walk towards a dead end.

But even after waiting for a few minutes, he didn't show up.

Janet looked back, only to find that Jorge was already gone.

This meant that he didn't follow them.

The bodyguard went back in search of Jorge. Shortly afterward, she returned and said, "That guy is cunning. Seems like he saw through our plan and ran away."

"Perhaps I was acting too obvious just now." Janet was annoyed. However, Jorge's sudden emergence here took her by surprise. It was difficult for her to pretend like she didn't see him.

"It seemed as though this wasn't his first time following us." The bodyguard rubbed her chin. "If he hadn't been following us too closely, I wouldn't even have noticed him."

Janet got goosebumps. "I now understand why we haven't been able to track him. It turns out that Jorge has been following me around this whole time. Brandon thought that with you around, I will be safe from harm, which is why he didn't send too many men to protect me. And Jorge took advantage of it."

Janet didn't like the idea of having too many bodyguards around her, which was why Brandon sent just one bodyguard to protect her, so as not to disturb her daily life and work.

He must not have anticipated that Jorge would use it to his advantage.

"I'll report this to Mr. Larson. For now, I think we can rest assured. I believe that Jorge won't be following us around for the time being now that he knows we know. He must've gone somewhere else already."

Janet bite her lower lip, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down. She then turned to her bodyguard and asked, "Do I look calm enough? I'm worried that Elizabeth might notice something off about me when she sees me. She must be thinking that she had finally escaped from Jorge. If she finds out that Jorge appeared nearby, she'll be scared out of her wits."

The bodyguard looked around cautiously again, and said, "You look fine. Let's go upstairs, Mrs. Larson."

Unbeknownst to her, there was a man drinking a bottle of water in a convenience store a hundred meters away from them.

He put down the bottle, wiped his lips, and looked ahead with a sneer.

It was Jorge.

When he noticed that Janet looked around seconds ago, he realized that they must've spotted him. Because of that, he ran away and hid himself at the convenience store.

He meant Janet no harm. She was Brandon's wife. Hurting her would only invite trouble for himself.

His goal was Elizabeth all along, the bitch who turned him in to the police!
