Chapter 322: A Warning
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
At the CEOâs office of the Larson Group.
The Larson Groupâs stock price had fluctuated over the past few days.
Now that the situation was favorable for the Larson Group and its stock price had more than recovered,
Ethan decided to seize the opportunity to put more pressure on the Lester Silk Fabric.
Garrett hadnât slept properly in the past three days, dealing with the bad press: He was yawning
sleepily when Ethanâs phone pinged.
"Someone texted you."
When he saw the name on Ethanâs phoneâs screen, Garrett snickered.
"It seems your wifeâs missing you."
Ethan smacked Garrett on the back of the head and grabbed the phone.
Instantly, his expression darkened when he read the text.
"What is it? Whyâs your face like that?"
Garrett asked seriously, the smile wiped from his face.
"Janetâs asking Brandon out for dinner." Ethan put his phone down and sighed.
"If I refuse, sheâll be very disappointed."
Garrett leaned back with his hands clasped behind his head.
"Yeah.You canât have dinner with Janet without her seeing your face.Last time, when you and Janet
went to the companyâs masquerade ball, you almost exposed yourself.Itâd be unwise to take such a risk
again.Itâs not good for my heart either," he sighed.
Ethan frowned and started typing out a brisk reply.
"Thank you, but thereâs no need for you to treat me to dinner.Youâre an employee of the Larson Group.I
helped you to protect the reputation of the company."
Janet read his message and quickly replied, "But Mr.Larson, you couldâve just dismissed me."
"If I dismiss any employee when something like this comes up, how will we keep the talented ones?
Keep up the good work.Thatâs thanks enough, Miss Lind,"
Ethan replied politely, keeping things professional.
He had deliberately distanced Brandon from her ever since what happened last time.He didnât want her
to suspect him of anything Reading his reply, Janet had no choice but to give up.
Ethan put down his phone, kicked the sofa Garrett was lying down on, and said, "I want you to relocate
the one who had tried to force Janet to resign.Transfer her to a subsidiary company.Then, bring Charis
here."
Garrett was just about to take a nap.
Hearing Ethanâs orders, he helplessly peeled his eyes open and stood up from the sofa.
He muttered under his breath, "This job will definitely be the death of me."
Charis had expected that Ethan would want to have a talk with her, but when she received the notice,
her heart still skipped a beat.
"Why did you want to dismiss Janet?" Ethan asked in a low voice.
He shoved his hands into the pocket of his slacks, and the light from the window elongated his shadow
on the floor.
"I just wanted to protect the company name," Charis answered defensively.
Ethan narrowed his eyes at her coldly.
"From now on, Iâll take care of all matters related to Janet.No one other than me.Understood?"
Ethanâs cold voice sent a shiver down Charisâs spine.She winced and smiled bitterly, as though she had
been wronged.
"I see how it is.You donât trust me now? Brandon, I donât have any ulterior motives, I swear.Ethan had
already noticed that something was wrong with Charis.He never brought it up before because he didnât
want her to look bad.
She and her family had always valued their image.
"Iâm just warning you not to act against Janet.Otherwise, donât blame me if I disregard our long term
friendship."
