Chapter 1295 Broken Promise
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
At eight oâclock the next morning,
Brandon was awoken by a phone call. Last night, Janetâs seductive prowess had proved too much for
him to resist, and it wasnât until dawn that they ended. Exhausted after such intense love-making,
Brandonâs mood turned rotten when his phone rang so early that morning.
When he saw that the call was from Garrett, he rudely ended it and tried to go back to sleep.
To his surprise, Garrett persisted and kept calling.
Gritting his teeth, Brandon finally picked up the phone and barked, âWhat the hell are you doing?â
Garrettâs cheerful voice came buzzing through from the other end. âLaney started talking to me!â
Brandonâs tone turned menacing. âDid you call just to tell me that?â
âOf course not!â
Garrett didnât notice the irritation in Brandonâs voice at all, and continued to chatter away excitedly, âI
want to thank you and Janet for your help! If it werenât for you two, I wouldâve thought Laney was going
to divorce me. However, she just told me that she didnât send those things. It seems like she might still
be in love with meâ¦â
âYou idiot.â Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, Brandon hung up immediately.
If he continued to listen to his drivel, he might end up just as stupid as Garrett.
Nevertheless, Brandon was happy to hear that the two of them had made up.
Laney was lucky to have a friend like Janet. Otherwise, if she and Garrett were to have another
misunderstanding, their already fragile relationship would surely hang precariously in the balance. At
this time, Janet was also awoken by the phone conversation. She rubbed her eyes and asked in a
daze, âWhatâs going on?â Brandon cradled her in his arms and whispered, âNothing, it was just a
telemarketer. Letâs go back to sleepâ¦â
âHmmâ¦â Janet snuggled comfortably in his arms and drifted back to sleep.
A week later, Janet finally finished designing the clothes for Carlyâs grandmother after putting in several
hours of overtime. Carly then brought her grandmother to the studio to try on the finished outfit.
Inside the fitting room, the elderly woman changed into the clothes and stood in front of the mirror,
trembling lightly as she gazed at herself in the mirror. A slow, contented smile slowly spread across her
weathered face.
âIt looks magnificent.â The corners of the elderly womanâs lips couldnât help but lift up in joy, and her
eyes moistened as she said, âIâve never worn such a beautiful piece of clothing in my entire life.â
Carlyâs eyes turned slightly red with tears as she said, âAs long as youâre happy with it, grandma, Iâll
have someone make as many as you want.â
The elderly woman quickly waved her hand and said, âNo need for that. Iâm quite satisfied with this
one.â
After a moment, she took Carlyâs hand and exclaimed with deep emotion, âMy little Carlyâs all grown up
now and can get me such fine clothes. Thatâs more than enough to make me very happy.â As she stood
beside them, observing the touching exchange between grandmother and granddaughter, Janet
couldnât help but think of Hannah. A subtle smile appeared on her lips.
Back when Hannah wore the new clothes she made for her for the first time, a similar scene unfolded,
with tears of joy filling her eyes as she held Janetâs hand tightly and told her how much she loved it.
These thrifty and diligent elderly people had worked hard their entire lives, and now the time had come
for the younger generation to take care of them.
The elderly woman glanced at herself in the mirror over and over again, until
she suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to Janet. With a bit of uneasiness in her
voice, she asked,
Could you please tell me how much this outfit costs?â Behind her grandmaâs back, Carly immediately
gave Janet a signal with her eyes.
She wanted Janet to keep the true cost of the outfit from her grandma. Considering how frugal the old
lady was, she was surely going to become agitated if she found out how much Carly had paid for it.
The elderly woman quickly waved her hand and said, âNo need for that. Iâm quite satisfied with this
one.â
After a moment, she took Carlyâs hand and exclaimed with deep emotion, âMy little Carlyâs all grown up
now and can get me such fine clothes. Thatâs more than enough to make me very happy.â As she stood
beside them, observing the touching exchange between grandmother and granddaughter, Janet
couldnât help but think of Hannah. A subtle smile appeared on her lips.
Back when Hannah wore the new clothes she made for her for the first time, a similar scene unfolded,
with tears of joy filling her eyes as she held Janetâs hand tightly and told her how much she loved it.
Janet saw Carlyâs signal and gave her a subtle nod, but then proceeded to tell the elderly woman the
true cost of the design. This took Carly surprise, and a glimmer of anger immediately appeared in her
eyes. agreed cary by Hadnât they agreed not to tell her grandmother the real cost? Why did Janet break
her promise?
Janet, however, remained calm in the face of Carlyâs anger.
