Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 88

The way a person carried themselves was an important factor in earning people's respect.

Janet walked past the people watching her with rapt attention, gently lifting her dress. From the corner of her eyes, she could feel the people's burning gazes.

Her racing heart slowed down when she saw Ethan. She quickly grabbed his arm and hid behind him. Her curled lashes and the neat sweep of eyeliner made her eyes look bigger and more seductive. "Thank you, Mr. Harding. I'll return the dress tomorrow."

Garrett coughed awkwardly. Unable to meet Janet's gaze, he looked away. "Okay, okay."

After all, Janet looked incredible after dressing up.

Ethan used the opportunity to hold Janet in his arms. He raked his eyes across her beautiful face as he gently stroked her cheek with his thumb as if she were a piece of art. "Have you worn makeup?" he asked softly.

"Don't I look good?" Janet looked at him through her lashes.

Ethan chuckled. He pressed his lips against her ear and whispered, "God, you are beautiful! You look like a real princess."

Janet shivered and shrank into his arms. "Ethan, stop! It tickles."

Ethan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened. He couldn't take his eyes off her alluring face.

Jocelyn burned with jealousy when she saw the intimate couple.

Her hatred for Janet reached its peak. She felt the woman was a slut who effortlessly seduced men.

Ever since they were children, Janet had been more attractive than her. Even though Janet wore the simplest outfit, she would garner the attention of the people around her. Now that Janet was dressed like royalty, Jocelyn felt she faded in comparison to her.

"Be careful about the dress. Otherwise, you'll have to sell yourself to pay it back." Jocelyn sneered and walked past Janet, deliberately bumping against her shoulder.

Ethan's face darkened, his cold eyes blazed with rage.

Seeing that, Garrett immediately waved at the security. "Throw this woman out!"
