Chapter 88: Throw Her Out
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
The way a person carried themselves was an important factor in earning peopleâs respect.
Janet walked past the people watching her with rapt attention, gently lifting her dress.
From the corner of her eyes, she could feel the peopleâs burning gazes.
Her racing heart slowed down when she saw Ethan.
She quickly grabbed his arm and hid behind him.Her curled lashes and the neat sweep of eyeliner
made her eyes look bigger and more seductive.
"Thank you, Mr.Harding.Iâll return the dress tomorrow."
Garrett coughed awkwardly.
Unable to meet Janetâs gaze, he looked away.
"Okay, okay."
After all, Janet looked incredible after dressing up.
Ethan used the opportunity to hold Janet in his arms.
He raked his eyes across her beautiful face as he gently stroked her cheek with his thumb as if she
were a piece of art.
"Have you worn makeup?" he asked softly.
"Donât I look good?"
Janet looked at him through her lashes.
Ethan chuckled.
He pressed his lips against her ear and whispered, "God, you are beautiful! You look like a real
princess."
Janet shivered and shrank into his arms.
"Ethan, stop! It tickles."
Ethanâs Adamâs apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened.He couldnât take his eyes off her alluring face.
Jocelyn burned with jealousy when she saw the intimate couple.
Her hatred for Janet reached its peak.She felt the woman was a slut who effortlessly seduced men.
Ever since they were children, Janet had been more attractive than her.
Even though Janet wore the simplest outfit, she would garner the attention of the people around her.
Now that Janet was dressed like royalty, Jocelyn felt she faded in comparison to her.
"Be careful about the dress.Otherwise, youâll have to sell yourself to pay it back."
Jocelyn sneered and walked past Janet, deliberately bumping against her shoulder.
Ethanâs face darkened, his cold eyes blazed with rage.
Seeing that, Garrett immediately waved at the security.
"Throw this woman out!"
Several security guards surrounded Jocelyn and grabbed her arms to take her away.
Jocelyn thrashed and screamed, trying to free herself.
"Why the hell are you driving me away? Iâm here as Mr.Shermanâs date.How dare you drive me away?"
"All right.Iâll ask Mr.Sherman to deal with you."
Garrett looked around the banquet hall and saw a plump, timid-middle-aged man.
"Mr.Sherman, donât be shy.What do you say?" he demanded Sherman had been a loser in his early
years.
Later, he gained wealth after selling antiques.
However, by then he had become too old to have fun in life.He didnât dare to offend the deputy CEO of
the Larson Group.
Sherman was frightened out of his wits that he didnât dare to even look at Jocelyn.
"Itâs up to you, Mr.Harding."He waved his hand.
"I just brought her to accompany me tonight.Besides that, we donât share any relationship.You can do
whatever you want."
With that, Sherman turned around and began talking with the others as if nothing had happened.
"Do you know who I am?" Jocelyn bellowed.
"Iâm the daughter of the Lind family.My parents wonât spare you."
Garrett glanced at her coldly.
Then, he picked up a glass of wine from the tray, took a sip, and smacked its lips.
"I donât care who you are and which family you belong.Iâm ready to deal with them at any time."
Jocelyn struggled desperately and refused to leave.
Finally, the guards dragged her out of the hotel.
The commotion had already garnered the peopleâs attention.
Several men were staring at Janet.
They all seemed to ogle her with lustful eyes, their gazes drinking every inch of her body.
"Itâs all right now.Letâs go back to our seats."
When Janet raised her head, she saw Ethan staring into the distance.
His jaw was tense, and his eyes narrowed as if faced with a dangerous enemy Janet sensed that he
was angry.
"Whatâs wrong with you?" she asked quizzically.
Ethan took a deep breath and looked at her.
Then, he took off his suit jacket and draped it around Janetâs shoulders.
"Nothing â
