Chapter 419: An Uproar In The Company
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Janet returned to the Larson Groupâs headquarters the next morning .She heard some people laughing
inside the design department. But the second they saw her come in, an ominous silence ensued in the
room Everybody else in the office realized that there was a tension in the room, so they all glanced at the
door
âHey! Shut up! Canât you see that Janet is here already?â
âWait⦠Is Janet the one whoâs secretly married to Mr. Larson?â
âWho else could it be?â
Janet could hear them whispering among each other, and they all sounded surprised.
Deciding to ignore them, she went to her seat and sat down as if nothing happened.
When Gerda saw Janet, she poked her head out and went to the latterâs seat Visibly excited, she said,
âMy queen! Youâre finally back! Everyone in the company is shocked to hear the news about you and Mr.
Larson!â Janet could tell from the look on Gerdaâs face that the latter was excited.
âWho spread the news?â she asked.
Gerda had no idea either.
âWhen I arrived at the company yesterday, everybody was already discussing that youâre the CEOâs wife.
Someone even took a video of Mr. Larson chasing after you!â
When Janet looked around, the people inside the department fell into deeper silence. The air felt tense
and it get worse with every passing second.
The moment she entered the company building earlier, she could sense that people were looking at her
differently Some were curious, others were confused. But most of them were giving her a modicum of
respect, and were cautious around her. It seemed that the entire company already knew that she was
Brandonâs wife.
âEveryoneâs scared of you now!â Gerda declared as she looked around
Janet burst into laughter.
âWhy would they be scared? Do they think Iâm going to bite their heads off or something?â Gerda winked
at her and replied, âItâs because of your conflict with Patty. It didnât end well, did it? Didnât you feel that
everyone was keeping their distance from you at the time?â
âOf course, I did! Pattyâs boyfriend is a department head of our company. I can understand why everyone
chose to side with her,â Janet responded.
It was difficult to keep healthy interpersonal relationships in the corporate world. In their world, any
common fool who would go up against someone who had connections, someone like Patty, would just be
asking for trouble
âWell, thatâs the point! Since youâre the wife of the boss, youâre completely different in everyoneâs eyes
now. Theyâre all nervous around you, because theyâre scared youâll take revenge on them,â Gerda
remarked with glee.
She wasnât a sensitive person, and she had always been on Janetâs side. Thus, she wasnât nervous
around her. As a matter of fact, this turn of events excited her. Janet lowered her head and said, âIâve
already got a lot on my plate now. I donât have time to waste seeking revenge on everyone.â
Gerda pouted. âThey just feel guilty. Putting that aside⦠What the hell, Lind? How could you hide the
fact that youâre Mr. Larsonâs wife from us?â
A bitter smile appeared on Janetâs face. âHow am I supposed to answer that question? I donât even know
the answer, myself.â Although it was quiet in the design department, all eyes were on Janet. Just as she
was feeling unsettled, someone gave her a pat on the shoulder from behind.
âLind, can I see you in my office?â
Tiffany stood behind Janet, crossing her arms. She looked as calm as ever, and she acted like she
always did.
