The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1247 Donât You Trust Her
Clydeâs frown deepened, betraying his displeasure as he turned to Brandon. âWell, does Mr. Larson
have any more enlightening suggestions?â he inquired.
With his arms crossed, Brandon elevated his chin and uttered in a hushed tone, âThe essence of
fashion design lies within the creation, not the creator. A designerâs allure to clients hinges on their
prowess. Janet possesses that skill. She doesnât require excessive self-promotion.â
The retort came swiftly. âItâs called establishing a personal brand, Mr. Larson. Havenât you grasped that
yet?â
Dismissing the comment with an indifferent glance, Brandon countered, âJanetâs lineage is evident to
all. Exaggerating her self-promotion will only divert public attention towards her background,
overshadowing her talents and inciting scrutiny.â
With a sneer, Clyde challenged, âI believe Miss White can disperse any negative rumors with her
abilities. As her husband, donât you trust her strength?â
His words were a transparent attempt to drive a wedge between the couple.
A fierce glint flashed in Brandonâs eyes, barely masking the simmering anger. âJanet is my wife. I
comprehend her nature better than you could, and Iâm more devoted to protecting her than you are.â
Defiant, Clyde locked gazes with Brandon. âThen Mr. Larson should also have faith in Miss White.â
Desiring to end the dispute, Brandonâs eyes softened as they met Janetâs. âJanet, the decision is
yours.â
Eagerly, Clyde awaited her verdict.
Furrowing her brow, Janet lapsed into deep contemplation.
Moments later, she offered an apologetic smile to Clyde. âIâm sorry, Mr. Lambert, but I concur that itâs
best not to be overly ostentatious,â she conceded.
His disappointment palpable, Clyde argued, âGiven Miss Whiteâs capabilities, itâs hardly ostentatious.â
Janet elucidated, âWhile I do become an independent designer, my personal studio is a recent
endeavor. Iâm essentially a novice in the industry. Thatâs why I prefer not to be too flamboyant. My
current goal is to establish a solid reputation for my designs and introduce them to the public in a
sensible manner.â
Clyde remained silent, though his disappointment lingered.
He nodded reluctantly. âThen letâs proceed with your approach, Miss White.â
After hashing out the promotion planâs particulars, Clyde, unable to stomach the coupleâs affectionate
exchanges any longer, excused himself.
As he departed, Brandon arched an eyebrow and flashed a provocative grin. Clydeâs fists clenched in
fury.
On the way home, Janet recalled the earlier tension and teased, âYou were jealous, werenât you?â
With a nonchalant shrug, Brandon replied, âWhy would I envy a man who pales in comparison to me on
all fronts?â
âConceited,â Janet chuckled.
Gazing out the window, she suddenly felt disoriented by the unfamiliar landscape. Puzzled, she
inquired, âThis isnât the route home. Where are we headed?â
With a cryptic smile, Brandon assured her, âYouâll discover our destination soon enough.â
Moments later, the car eased to a stop in front of an elegantly adorned boutique.
Surprised, Janet exclaimed, âIsnât this the store we visited earlier? How did they complete the
renovations so swiftly?â
First to exit the vehicle, Brandon chivalrously opened the door for Janet. âCome, letâs take a closer
look.â
Her heart swelled with affection.
She hadnât anticipated that Brandon would go to such lengths to orchestrate her dream studio.
Entering hand in hand, Janet marveled at the interior.
The decor mirrored her vision perfectly, and even the receptionist and assistanthad been meticulously
selected by Brandon.
Tears brimmed in Janetâs eyes as she choked out, âWhen did you find the time to transform this vast
space?â
Tenderly wiping her tears, Brandon confessed, âI began preparations the day we chose a name for your
atelier.â
