The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1272 A Man Ignorant Of Art.
Brandon harbored a deep dislike for Clyde.
With a frosty gaze, he eyed the ticket in Clydeâs hand and icily retorted, âJanet has no intention of
accompanying you. Be gone.â
Yet, upon seeing the ticket, Janetâs eyes betrayed a flicker of uncertainty.
Clyde detected the wavering in her gaze and couldnât help but smirk triumphantly.
âMr. Larson, perhaps youâre unaware, but this ticket grants access to an art exhibition held by the
esteemed Nelson Nixon. He mentored the famed designer, Draco Wesley, and is a renowned artist
within the industry. His age advances, and this may very well be his final exhibition. Professionals
throughout the industry are clamoring to attend. Such tickets are now exceptionally rare. Surely, you
understand, Mr. Larson?â
Clyde was well aware that no one in the design world could resist the allure of Nelsonâs art exhibition.
He seized this opportunity to extend an invitation to Janet, not only to spend time alone with her but
also to undermine Brandon.
In his mind, a man ignorant of art hardly deserved to be Janetâs husband.
As Janet wavered, Brandonâs expression grew stormy.
Pausing briefly, Clyde continued to mock, âMr. Larson, your expertise lies in business, not design or art.
Nonetheless, you shouldnât hinder your designer wife from attending the exhibition, should you?â
Suddenly, Brandon recalled his dismal performance in school art classes and his woeful lack of artistic
knowledge. His countenance darkened further.
Regardless of his unfamiliarity with art, if he desired entrance to Nelsonâs exhibition, he could easily
acquire tickets. He didnât require Clydeâs charity.
Janet found amusement in Brandonâs reaction and gently touched his hand, signaling for him to remain
composed.
She regarded Clyde coolly, asking, âIs your apology genuine?â
Sensing a window of opportunity, Clyde eagerly nodded.
âAbsolutely! I sincerely hope you can forgive my previous thoughtlessness!â A faint smile graced
Janetâs lips.
âVery well, I forgive you. However, I have an additional request.â
Clydeâs eyes sparkled with anticipation.
âMiss White, simply state your desire. If itâs within my power, I shall make it so!â Janetâs smile
broadened.
âGiven your extensive connections, you must possess more than one ticket, correct? Iâd like you to
provide me with another. I trust this isnât an unreasonable request?â
Without hesitation, Clyde produced a second ticket and presented it to Janet.
âAs luck would have it, I have an extra. Miss White, please accept my humble offering.â
He had intended to keep the second ticket for himself, but since Janet requested it, he had no grounds
to refuse.
Furthermore, he assumed Janet sought the ticket for a friend, as Brandon, being artistically disinclined,
would surely waste it.
In due course, heâd secure another ticket.
As long as Brandon didnât accompany Janet, Clyde wouldnât object to joining her and her friend.
Beaming, Janet accepted the ticket and replied, âThank you, Mr. Lambert. My husband and I must take
our leave. Until we meet again.â
With that, she linked arms with Brandon and breezed past Clyde.
As she swept by, a delicate fragrance enveloped Clyde.
He inhaled the subtle scent and watched Janetâs retreating figure, captivated by her beauty.
No wonder she had ensnared his heartâ¦
Once certain Clyde was out of sight, Janet flashed the pair of tickets at Brandon, a sly smile playing on
her lips.
âWhy not join me, then?â
Brandon hadnât anticipated the ticket was intended for him.
He inquired, âYou want me to attend with you?â
