The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1125 Mr. L
When Janet recognized the voice, she pivoted on her heel and cast an icy stare upon Brandon. âWhat
brings you here?â
Brandonâs domineering and unruly demeanor was accentuated by his black shirt and suit, while his
deep eyes exuded malice.
Janet averted her gaze from Brandonâs eyes, knowing all too well that she had been dodging him for
the past few days, yet he persisted in following her closely.
Title of the document
âWhat brings you here during office hours?â Brandon approached them, his eyes falling upon Clyde
with an unfriendly glare.
âI am here on business. A client requested that 1 meet him at this cafe,â Janet replied with a frigid stare
in her eyes. Walking past Brandon, she made her way toward the waiter, intent on borrowing a hair
dryer.
âHold on a moment!â Brandon seized her arm and pulled her back with a scowl. âHave you made a
mistake here and mistaken him for your client?â
How was Brandon aware of that? Janetâs eyes were filled with bewildered expressions as she asked,
âHow did you come to that conclusion?â
Disregarding her inquiry. Brandon cast a cold glance in Clydeâs direction and demanded, âWhat are you
doing here, posing as Janetâs client?â
Clyde was left speechless by the question. He ran a hand through his hair and spoke in a soft and
refined tone, âMr. Larson, I suggest you investigate the matter thoroughly before questioning me. It was
simply a misinterpretation.â
âThere is no need to look into anything. I saw everything clearly just moments ago,â Brandon narrowed
his eyes at Clyde. âYou had better start telling me the truthâ¦â
Just as Brandon was about to continue speaking, Janet cut in abruptly.
âYou really messed up, Brandon. Elizabeth can vouch for me. My error led to the confusion, and this
gentleman had no part in it.â Janet interjected Brandon firmly and gave him a blank stare.
When she finished speaking, Janet was drawn to the bouquet of bright red tulips that Brandon held in
his arm.
A slight change flickered across Janetâs countenance as she pursed her lips, instantly comprehending
everything.
âIt all makes sense now. Thatâs why you knew he wasnât my client!â Janet retorted with a sneer,
wrenching herself free from Brandonâs grasp and departing in a huff, leaving behind the manuscripts.
Elizabeth trailed after Janet as they headed outside to hail a taxi back to the studio, only to be stopped
by Brandon, who had followed them out.
âI have no intention of cooperating with someone as deceitful as you, Mr. L,â Janet sneered as she
grabbed the taxi door handle. âThe meeting is called off! I donât have anything to say to you. Get away
from me!â
It was no surprise she found Mr. Lâs voice on the phone familiar. That turned out to be Brandon. She
found it absurd that Brandon had gone to such lengths to deceive her by posing as Mr. L.
âI do have a project on which we can collaborate. Yet weâre still arguing. Will you agree to my proposal
if I go straight to you?â Brandon furrowed his brow and tightened his grasp on the handle. He extended
his large hand into the taxi and yanked her out. âCome on. Thereâs someone I want you to meet.â
Janet mulled over his proposal momentarily before asking, âCan I trust you, Brandon? You want me to
get out of the taxi, but who knows where youâll try to deceive me into going? I wonât fall for it this time!â
Brandonâs eyes narrowed, darkening with displeasure as he firmed his grip on Janet. >
A bitter smile played on Brandonâs lips. How was it possible that Janet was cordial to everyone except
him?
The impasse between the two was abruptly interrupted by an elder woman hobbling out of the coffee
shop. âBrandon, didnât you promise to bring me here to see Janet? How come I havenât seen her yet?â
