Chapter 1126
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1126 Hannah Is Here
âHannah! Is that really you?â Janet exclaimed in surprise and joy at the sight of the elder woman. Janet
rushed to embrace Hannah tightly, pushing past Brandon, who was blocking the door.
Hannah chuckled and patted Janet on the shoulder. âEasy there, dear. What if you trip and fall running
too quickly?â Janet was filled with emotions and struggled to hold back her tears as she thought of the
elder woman mentioned in the project document and realized that Brandon indeed wanted to make
clothes for Hannah.
âItâs only been a few months, Janet, but Iâve missed you so much,â Hannah said as she comforted
Janet and wiped the tears from the comer of her eyes.
Title of the document
âItâs entirely my fault that I havenât returned to visit you often.â Janet seldom returned to Seacisco once
Johanna and Beal had brought her to Barnes. In addition, she hadnât seen Hannah in a while since she
had been preoccupied with her work at the W Marks Studio.
Janetâs fingers caressed Hannahâs hunched back, finding comfort in the gentle support of her frail
frame. Tt was a moment of solace and relief for her.
âItâs hard for you to come to see me because of your busy work schedule. However, Brandon arranged
for me to come here and stay for a few days.â Hannah smiled at Brandon as she rubbed Janetâs back.
âBrandon realized we hadnât seen each other in a long while, so he went to Seacisco in person to pick
me up. Since it was my first time in an airplane, my legs trembled uncontrollably. Brandon comforted
me over the whole flight.â
Hannah appeared to be unaware of the conflict between Janet and Brandon. Janet remained silent,
biting her lip and avoiding eye contact.
âYou have a slight fear of heights,â Brandon said to Hannah as he held onto her arm. âIâll take Hannah
home now, and you can join us for dinner later,â he then added as he looked at Janet.
âItâs been so long since I cooked for Janet.â Hannahâs face lit up with excitement.
Janet stared down at Brandon before she smiled and turned to Hannah. âNo, let me cook for you. Iâll
finish work early today.â
Brandon assisted Hannah into the car and announced, âHannah, Janet has agreed. Letâs head back
and wait for her. Iâve got your room prepared already.â As he glanced over his shoulder, his thin lips
twisted into a smirk, and his eyes revealed the success of his scheme, much to Janetâs frustration.
Elizabeth alighted the car and approached Janet, her head slightly bowed in apology after observing
Brandon depart. âIâm sorry, Janet. It was my fault. I mistook someone else for your client and caused
you trouble.â
âPlease donât blame yourself. Whether you came or not, I would have confronted Brandon and had a
huge argument. I suspect heâs up to something, especially since he invited Hannah to Barnes.â
Although she was happy to see Hannah, Janet couldnât shake off her inner feelings of sadness and
frustration.
At the outset, Janet believed that a genuine collaborator had arrived, and she entertained the thought
of being appreciated for her talent. Maybe she could really be an independent designer!
But then Janet realized that Brandon orchestrated everything and it would fall according to his plan.
In the restaurant, Clyde looked back to the soaked drafts once Janet and her colleague had departed in
their car. The design of the clothes for the elderly was highly creative, and it was unfortunate that the
papers got wet by water. Clydeâs face lit up with interest when he thought of Janet and her design, a
glint of joy in his eyes. Despite feeling a sense of familiarity, he couldnât recall where he had heard her
name before.
Clyde organized the documents that Janet left behind when a well-made-up woman took a seat across
from him.
âYou are Mr. Lambert, right? You were introduced to me by Hayes, and Iâm here for the blind date.â It
was clear that Stacey Gray had rushed to get there, her breathing was erratic and unstable, and her
forehead was dotted with sweat.
âIâm sorry, but I already have someone 1 like. Thank you for stopping by, but 1 cannot proceed with the
blind date. Please order a drink. Iâll cover the bill.â With that, Clyde quickly departed, clutching the
documents in his hand.
