Chapter 379: An Option For You
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
"Itâs a cold day.How would you like to have a cup of coffee with me, Miss Lind?"
Kent stepped on the snow to get to Janet, but then he kept his distance and kept his voice calm and
respectful.
Janet could not refuse because he had helped her again just recently, so she pointed to somewhere in
the distance and said, "There is a coffeehouse right around the corner.This will be my treat for all the
help you rendered the last time."
Kent was rather amused, so he asked, "Do you have to keep things so formal all the time? I wasnât
expecting repayment"
Janet simply stared at him and shrugged her shoulders.She said, "In that case, thereâs no need to go
and get coffee with you.Can I go home now?"
Turning around, she attempted to leave.
"Can you ignore what I just said? I was joking."
Kent said, obviously flustered by her rejection Janet bit her lips to stifle her laughter as she thought,
ââWhy does he look so silly? The two of them walked into the coffeehouse. While they were in the
coffeehouse, Janet paid more attention to her phone than Kent even though they were sitting opposite
each other, so he said, "Hey, I am sitting right here, but you have been checking your phone since we
got here.Thatâs rather rude, you know?"
When she heard that, Janet raised her head and smiled, "I am so sorry I was just checking in with my
husband."
The disappointment in Kentâs voice was obvious as he asked, "So you are on good terms?"
"Of course."
Janetâs excitement was obvious in her voice and she didnât realize she had answered without any
hesitation Kentâs eyebrows were raised as he ordered two lattes before handing the menu back to the
waiter.
Suddenly he asked Janet, "Who has been helping you all this while? Whoâs the person to you?"
Janet bit her lower lip and asked, "What do you mean? Itâs just a rumor, and thereâs no need to take it
seriously."
"I really think someone is backing you because someone brought Emani down right after you were
cyberbullied.That was pretty obvious, wasnât it?"
"No.I think someone else had been plotting against her, and they just took that opportunity to bring her
down," Janet said with a sigh.
"It couldâve also been a reporter who just wanted the spotlight." Kent realized Janet was really naive.
He pressed his elbows against the table and sat up as he said, "You are really simple, arenât you? If
thereâs something I know about the entertainment industry, it is that ordinary paparazzi will never get
their hands on so many big secrets on one star.Even if they do, they would usually let it out
immediately for their readers to enjoy.However, for someone to have found out so many of Emaniâs
secrets in such a short time, he must be a big shot."
"How is that even possible?" Janet managed to look calm, even though Kentâs words got to her.
Her first thought was that it could be Brandon.
He was the only person she could think of who was that powerful and would try to help her.
Still, she refused to believe he would do this for her.
When she thought about the fact that he had helped her again and again, however, Janet began to
wonder if it was really him.
She decided to ask him about it later.
When he saw that she was lost in thought, Kent knew that his words had gotten to her.
He laughed out loud and joked, "If you have such a powerful supporter, why havenât you left your loser
of a husband? Is it because you donât actually love your backer? Not a problem though.Youâll find a
way to fall in love with this backer of yours Iâm sure, Or is it because itâs just pure business from the
very beginning? In that case, I can be your new backer and you can marry me.Thatâs also an option."
