Chapter 986

The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 986 I Trust Her

Both Janet and Brandon glared daggers at Derek simultaneously. Janet fumed, “Derek, why do you

always speak gibberish?”

Derek also stepped out of the vehicle, hands in his pockets, and said, “I’m not talking balderdash. It’s

true that Brandon jumped to conclusions and got angry because he didn’t see Elizabeth and thought

that we two were having a date alone.”

Elizabeth quickly explained, “Mr. Larson, be careful about what you think about Janet. Janet didn’t have

dinner with Derek alone. I was there with them, but I had to use the bathroom at that time. I didn’t

expect to cause such turmoil between you two. I’m truly sorry.” “It’s okay. I just want a good reason as

to why you went as far as booking a suite.” Janet cast a sharp glance at Derek.

Elizabeth kicked Derek from behind and said, “Will you please talk? Why did you book a suite?”

Derek threw up his hands in surrender and protested his innocence. “I swear it has nothing to do with

me. Although I have feelings for you, I would never stoop to such underhanded tactics.”

He also took the opportunity to express his love, “If I care about someone, I’ll only pursue them openly

and honestly.”

Janet found Derek’s words to be somehow logical. She reasoned that, although Derek was stubborn

and didn’t listen to others’ advice, he wasn’t a complete scumbag.

“Then who could have done that?” Janet’s mind was racing. She wondered if the person who had

harmed her before might have taken action again.

Derek sat back in the car and said, “Let’s head back to the restaurant and get to the bottom of this.

We’ll find out who’s responsible as long as we do some digging.”

He then turned to Brandon, who was standing behind Janet, and asked, “Mr. Larson, should I drive you

there? But given your suspicious nature, you might probably accuse me of bribing the waitress to lie.

Mr. Larson, as a couple, you need to have faith in each other. If you don’t trust Janet, then I’ll gladly

take her. I’ll have unwavering trust in her.”

Brandon held Janet close and replied, “My wife has already explained everything to me. I believe

everything she said.”

“Damn!” Derek sneered and felt a twinge of pain in his heart as he watched Janet clinging tightly to

Brandon.

He looked away unhappily and was about to speak when his phone rang. It was Wilder.

As soon as Derek answered the call, Wilder shouted, “Did you go see Janet again?! The Larson Group

called me! Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at the filming site? Huh?! The director and the camera crew

are all here, waiting for you!”

Wilder was so worked up that he could feel a migraine coming on. He hadn’t had a moment’s peace

since he started working with Derek.

“Alright, alright. I’ll be right back,” Derek said, not wanting to put Wilder in a difficult position. After all, it

was Wilder who had gotten him this job.

Derek glanced at Brandon as he got off the phone and stated, “I must now go for the shoot. The

restaurant is conveniently close by. You can go there on foot on your own.”

Elizabeth hopped in the car, bundling her coat around her b*ody. “Give me a lift, will you?” She wanted

to give Janet and Brandon some privacy. She waved goodbye to Janet and declared, “I’m heading

home now. You two have all the time you need to talk.”

Derek started the engine and grumbled, “You’re such a pain. Don’t you have a boyfriend now? Why

don’t you call him to chauffeur you home?”

“Watch your mouth! And just do your job. Drive!” Elizabeth gave Derek’s shoulder two firm pats.

It wasn’t until the luxurious vehicle had gone for a long distance that Janet snapped out of it and

grinned.

“Shall we go home?” After his outburst, Brandon regained his gentle demeanor.

“I think the scene the Larson Group employees just witnessed would make anyone want to curl up and

die! If we just sweep it under the rug, we’ll probably be the subject of gossip for a long time. I want to

return to the restaurant and meet with the new Larson Group employees alongside you.” Janet also

wanted to confirm whether it was Derek who had booked the hotel room or not.

If it turned out it was indeed Derek, she would never associate with this two-faced scum again.

Brandon knew Janet well and understood that she desired to clear the air and nip any future potential

dangers in the bud.

“They’re all new around. I really should have a meal with them.” And so, Brandon returned to the

restaurant with Janet.

Before the party concluded, people began to speculate about Janet’s situation after noticing that

Brandon and Janet had left.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen Mr. Larson lose his cool. He’s really a boss. Even when he was angry, he

was so commanding. He just turned on his heel and left.”

“Didn’t you see the timid and frightened expression on Janet’s face when she scampered after him?

She must have crossed the line!”

“By the way, Janet is so ungrateful. Mr. Larson has been nothing but kind to her. Why is she still so

amorous?”

At this point, Vivian emerged from the bathroom and returned to her seat. Seeing that the table not far

away was empty, she smugly smiled.
