Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 984

Brandon got off the car, and walked in with Sean, visibly enraged.

The employees of the Larson Group turned their gazes toward the door, eagerly waiting for Brandon. But to everyone's surprise, he didn't approach their table and just continued walking toward the back.

At this moment, Janet was still arguing with Derek regarding the color of the clothes on the design draft.

Both she and Elizabeth believed that the clothes Derek usually wore at events were too flamboyant. They thought it would be better for him to wear something low-key this time. On the one hand, solid colors could accentuate Derek's chiseled features. But on the other hand, it could diminish his natural personality and create a contrast.

"Clothes usually have a great influence on people's appearances. Perhaps if you change your style, it could surprise your fans," Janet suggested. Unbeknownst to her, someone was walking toward them. She only noticed that someone was there when a shadow hovered over her.

She thought it was just Elizabeth who had come back from the bathroom. Just as she was about to make way for the latter, she looked up and accidentally made eye contact with Brandon.

"Honey!" Janet was so startled that she knocked over her drink. Her reaction made it seem like she was guilty as Brandon caught her red-handed cheating on him.

Flustered, Janet hurriedly cleaned up the table. "I was just talking to Derek about work," she stammered.

Derek, on the other hand, was unfazed. He wiped the liquids off the table for Janet with his napkin. Afterward, he shot Brandon a glance. "Mr. Larson, have a seat. I'm simply talking to Janet about work. There's no need to be so mad. Just have a look at her. She's so scared that she's trembling!"

"Derek, don't make things even worse than it already is," Janet said through gritted teeth while glaring at Derek. This guy was always causing her trouble.

He shrugged at her remark and bantered, "What are you so mad about? I'm taking your side! Your husband is being too strict. Don't you agree?"

"Call Derek's manager and tell him to take this troublemaker away," Brandon said to Sean, who was standing behind him.

Derek sprang to his feet and asked, "What? Why are you saying that I'm a troublemaker, Brandon? I can take care of myself just fine. There's no need to call Wilder!"

Ignoring Derek, Brandon held Janet's hand and said, "Let's go home."

Feeling aggrieved, Janet answered, "I don't want to. I told you that I'd be working, right? Besides, Elizabeth is here, too."
