Chapter 494: Find Her
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
The Mountaintop Parachute Club had been thrown into chaos, and everyone was panicking. It had
been run for over a decade, and not once had something like this happened. Ethan demanded to
speak to the manager of the club and asked him what had happened.
The manager was sweating buckets, visibly in shock, and all he could do was to blame the employees
of the club.
âWhat on earth happened here? Iâve only been away from the club of two days, but youâve already
caused someoneâs life to be in danger!â The manager was enraged, pointing and cussing at the
employees.
âGet to the point,â Ethan grunted.
âYes, Mr. Larson.â The manager nodded and bowed to Ethan while wearing a flattering smile. Then, the
smile on his face disappeared as he turned his attention to the employees.
âHave you found Mrs. Larson? Is she okay?â One of the employees replied hurriedly, âWeâve received
calls from Mrs. Larson and the instructor. They said that theyâre safe and sound now.â
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
âWeâve already called the police and sent people to search and rescue them. Soon, weâll be able to find
them,â the employee said.
âIâm coming with you,â Ethan said with a nod.

The helicopter roved over the forest as the sound of its propeller resonated in the air. When Janet
looked up, she saw a tall man going down the ladder, which was hanging from the helicopter.
Seconds later, she realized who it was. Ethan was wearing a sullen expression, and his eyes depicted
a complicated emotion. Bruises and wounds were all over Janetâs body. As she stood on the ground,
she looked like she was barely able to keep herself standing. She pursed her lips and looked down,
feeling remorseful.
âHoney.â
âDonât you know how dangerous it is to go skydiving? Janet Larson!â Ethan shouted angrily. Janet
didnât dare to say anything.
âTurn around.â He lifted her arm and her the clothes on her back. Rage filled his eyes as his face
turned grim.
âYou almost died!â All the wounds on Janetâs body made Ethan feel so sorry for her. Janet just let him
chastise her, and she didnât bother to argue. Still, she was really scared.
Had she been unlucky, she mightâve actually died this time. While tugging at Ethanâs sleeve, she said
timidly, âIâm sorry, honey.â
When he saw the tears in her eyes, his heart softened.
Truthfully, he still had things to say but he couldnât get mad at her anymore.
âLetâs take you to the hospital first!â Ethan carried her to the helicopter and gently placed her on one of
the seats.

Pretty soon, Janet and the coach were sent to the hospital. Beal and Johanna arrived soon after. They
were so shocked by what happened. So many stuff had happened within just a few days.
âWhere did you skydive, Janet? God, that establishment must be horrible! They canât even guarantee
the safety of their customers!â Based on the tone of Johannaâs voice, she was livid. Her eyes were
bursting with anger, and it looked like she wanted to burn that parachute club to the ground or make
them disappear from Barnes.
âIâm so sorry, Mrs. White. Itâs all our fault.â The manager of the Mountaintop Parachute Club didnât know
how to explain the matter. It was true that the accident happened in their club.
All he could do was sigh and lament the fact that he was so unfortunate that such powerful people were
enraged in his watch. After hearing that Janet was involved in an accident, Draco went to the hospital
to visit hei. He had a strangely agitated feeling in his heart when he heard the news, so he wasted no
time to rush over
âYou can rest in the hospital for as long as you need. Donât worry about your job at W Marks. Iâll give
you permission to take a sick leave until youâve fully recovered.â
Seeing that Ethan and Janetâs parents were in the ward as well, Draco said nothing more. After he
gave his gift to her, he left right away. Later on, Ethan put Janet to sleep before leaving the ward to
begin investigating the accident. The clubâs manager said to him, âWe pay great attention to our
customersâ safety. Each time, before they skydive, we make sure that the parachute is secured and
that thereâs nothing that can cause an accident. Logically speaking, the chances of the parachute being
malfunctioning are very small.â
As a sign of their sincere apologies, all the staff of the club had come to the hospital. Lilaâs instructor
came forward and whispered to Ethan, âI saw that woman touching Mrs. Larsonâs parachute package
before she jumped. I donât know if she did something to the parachute, but you should ask her. She
might know something.â
The instructor glanced at Lila as the latter sat on the hospital chair with a forlorn expression.
