Chapter 297: Ritchie’s Plan
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
At Seacisco International Airport, the sky was grey and cloudy due to the winter are a large crowd close
to the exit gate.
However, a man in a dark brown fur coat, black sunglasses, and a black hat stood out in the crowd.
His aura was so intimidating and majestic that people cleared the way for him and stared at him in awe.
As soon as he got outside, his secretary opened the door of a black Bentley and bowed.
"Mr.Lester, this is the companyâs financial statement for this past quarter.Please have a look."
The secretary handed him a document politely.
Ritchie slowly took off his sunglasses and hat.
After placing them beside him, he collected the document.His eyes were filled with rage at this time.
Although he had good-looking eyes, they were scary to look at because of the menacing glint in them.
After flipping through a few pages of the document, Ritchie angrily closed it.He looked at his secretary
with his eyes as sharp as daggers.
"I heard that our company was knocked out of the first show by the Larson Group this season."
A deafening silence filled the car.
Beads of cold sweat suddenly appeared on the secretaryâs forehead.It was as if an unknown force was
squeezing at his lungs.
But he mustered up the courage and cleared his throat.
"Itâs true, Mr.Lester.Itâs our fault.We failed to choose the right designer to handle the project this
season."
"Of course, I know itâs your fault.I have had a video meeting with the director of the design
department.Now tell me, why were you all hired? Was it to make silly mistakes? Or to bring good
results? Are you and your counterparts dumb? We have headlined the Seacisco Fashion Week for
many years in a row.We have also been in business before the Larson Group.How could you let them
defeat us? This is ridiculous!"
Ritchie angrily threw the document at the secretaryâs face.
His eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his temple were protruding.
Ever since he heard about the humiliating loss, his blood had been boiling.He was so mad that he gave
the members of the design team an earful when he had a video conference with them.
The secretary quivered in fear and his face turned red.
He wasnât directly involved in the matter, but he could only suffer his bossâs scolding in silence.
"Do you know the female designer who helped the Larson Group to win? I heard that the judges spoke
highly of her work."
Ritchie snorted aggressively, rolled down the window, and rested his arm on it.
With a shaky voice, the secretary replied, "Yes, I know her.I heard that her name is Janet Lind.Itâs said
that sheâs a young designer who just joined the Larson Group this year.She also happens to be Ethanâs
wife."
Ritchie raised his head and shot his secretary a cold glance that could have frozen lava.
Since the secretary worked closely with Ritchie, he knew that Ethan was the illegitimate son of the
Lester family.He fiddled with his fingers and looked at his boss carefully.
"Oh, interesting!"
Looking straight ahead, Ritchie rubbed his lips with his fingers and commented.
Sparks of anger, contempt, and vengeance filled his eyes at this time.His mind had been void of
thoughts about his half-brother lately.
In fact, he wouldnât have remembered Ethan if not for what happened at the selection competition.
Right from childhood, his mother had groomed him to resent Ethan.
Ritchie was disgusted by the mere thought of his half-brother.He had made it a point of duty to bully
Ethan for years.
Just as he had wished, Ethan suffered and lived a miserable life.
He soon got tired of bullying him.
As the conceited second son of the Lester family, he felt that he couldnât continue to attack a sore
loser.It was at this time traveled abroad to study.
Thoughts of Ethan barely crossed Ritchieâs mind while he was abroad.
He felt that Ethan was a lowlife who was surviving on leftovers at the bottom of the food chain.
When he heard that Ethan had gotten married to the daughter of the poor Lind family, he didnât take it
seriously.
It was a case of âgood riddance to bad rubbishâ as far as he was concerned.
Judging by the dubious expression on Ritchieâs face, his secretary instantly knew that he was planning
something.
He asked carefully, "Mr.Lester, is there something you would like me to do for you?"
"No, you are useless to me in this aspect.The way I see it, Ethanâs wife is smart and powerful.I canât
afford to allow you to spoil my plans before I get started.Iâll deal with her myself."
Ritchieâs eyes darkened as he concocted a plan.
He decided to meet Janet.
Aggressiveness was in his DNA.His parents had passed it on to him.
One of his greatest hobbies was destroying Ethanâs happiness.
Now that he knew that Ethan had a good marriage life and that his wife was an enemy of Lester Silk
Fabric, he wanted to crush them.
