The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 866 Keep Some Mystery
Wilder, Derekâs manager, drew a sigh.
He couldnât recall where he had heard Janetâs name before, but he knew it sounded familiar.
Title of the document
Wilder had been abroad with Derek to attend fashion shows all over the world. Between the two of
them, they knew little about the domestic affairs.
âI donât think Janet is just any other woman,â Wilder whispered to Derek. âEven Mr. Jenkins has
changed his perception of her. It looks like this woman isnât as simple as she appears.â
Wilder initially thought that Janet was just another assistant designer. Apart from her striking
appearance, he didnât think there was anything special about her. At best, she was Dracoâs favorite.
But now that Axel had such high regard for Janet, he felt there was something strange about her.
What made matters worse was that Derek also appeared to have been smitten with this woman.
âWhy are you being nosy today, Wilder?â Derek said, looking irritated at his agent, u
Wilder was taken aback by Derekâs reaction. He took a deep breath and told him gently, âIâll look into
this womanâs background. Before we know more about her, donât mess with her.â
Wilder knew that Derek was a playboy. But he could sense that Janet wasnât the kind of woman who
would want to trade her beauty for a successful career. It was highly likely that she was not even a
woman Derek should be involved with, for it would just lead to something disastrous.
Derek scowled at his manager. âDonât spoil my good mood right now. Iâve finally met a gorgeous
woman I like, and sheâs a rising star in the design industry. Look, Iâm drawn to her and I want to pursue
her. I donât want to know her based on information from your inquiries. Could you please leave me with
some mystery?â
Wilder didnât know what to say. âButâ¦â
âStop it, Wilder!â Derek said in a stern tone. âWhy donât you just bring me another glassof wine?â Wilder
felt compelled to do as he was told since he had no other choices.
The party was upbeat and congenial.
After changing into a new dress, Kathie left the restroom. She was ready to start mingling again when
she noticed Janet talking to Zuri and Axel. Though Kathie couldnât tell what they were saying, she could
see they were smiling broadly.
Around them were other influential people, seemingly enjoying their chat with Janet. The woman
appeared to be the star of the show tonight as she stood in the middle of them. She was dazzling, and
yet, quite irritating.
Out of pure envy, Kathie gripped the wine glasstightly. So tightly that the glassshattered and she cut
her hand. Kathie didnât care at all. Jealousy was gnawing her. She gently picked up the tissue on the
table and wiped the blood between her fingers.
Janet beat the Gem Studio and attended the Iridescent Show. Otherwise, she wouldnât be the center of
attraction in todayâs celebration.
Kathie turned around with a sneer. She must teach Janet a lesson tonight.
The party was already halfway over, but the lively atmosphere did not dim.
Axel raised his glassand sipped the last of his vodka. âItâs late, and I usually fall asleep around this
time. I canât keep going any longer. Youâre all younger and more energetic than me, so you can
continue having fun for the rest of the night.â
âGood night, Mr. Jenkins.â Everyone nodded.
Axel had rarely appeared in public in recent years, so it was a great honor for Zuri that he accepted the
invitation to the banquet tonight.
âLet me send you back,â Zuri said as she set her glassdown and walked over to Axelâs side.
She turned to face Janet and bade her farewell before leaving.
The banquetâs two main characters had left, and the lively atmosphere had faded a little. Janet planned
to leave after finishing the orange juice in her glass.
At this moment, several beautiful female models surrounded her.
