Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 826

Janet was unaware of Brandon's conversation with Sean.

When Sean came back, he was carrying a red velvet box. A beautiful diamond necklace with an intricate design was there when the box was opened. The level of detail in the piece was astounding.

Janet could not tear her eyes away from it.

"Okay, let me help you put it on." Brandon approached her and placed the necklace around her neck.

Janet returned to herself. "Is this a smart idea? I can't wear this to the charity dinner; it's too flashy. People will undoubtedly gossip about me."

Janet reached out and felt the necklace, wondering how much it was worth.

"Why can't my wife wear the necklace she wants to a dinner party after I've given so much money to charity? Just take it easy. Nobody would dream of talking trash about you behind your back." Brandon gently stroked her face. The necklace accentuated her natural attractiveness and grace wonderfully.

Janet pushed Brandon toward the door while uttering helplessly, "Come on! Get in the car. We won't make it to the party in time if we don't get going now."

Neon lights were blinking outside the window.

Just getting started, this city's nightlife was buzzing.

A black Bentley entered a tranquil estate.

After calling Laney four times in a row, Janet still got no response. Her mind was racing because of it.

She lifted her head and gazed into Brandon's inquisitive eyes. "I can't get through to Laney," she said anxiously.

Somehow, she couldn't fight the bad feeling that was skyrocketing by the second.

"Don't fret. Later, at the dinner, you will run into her." Brandon encircled her waist with his arms and murmured, "Garrett will watch her back. And don't discount Laney's abilities. Do you not remember what she used to do?"

In the darkness, the Bentley arrived at the mansion.

The door was opened for them by a valet.

Brandon took the lead in getting out of the automobile after buttoning up his suit.

"Is this a private estate? Honestly, it's stunning." Janet was attracted to the mansion because of its picturesque surroundings. She questioned what sort of person could possess such a house.

"The estate is owned by a refined elderly lady. She has a passion for the fashion industry. Currently, she is in France. There's no way she'll be able to make it tonight."

Brandon had a hazy recollection of the woman's face. He had only met her once prior to her departure to France.

"France? That's rather far away." Janet felt it was unfortunate that she wouldn't be able to meet her.
