The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 786 Jorge Appeared
Janet didn’t feel sorry for the Turners.
For everything Charis had done, she deserved her fate. And her death had nothing to do with Brandon and Janet.
In Janet’s opinion, she had been kind enough to them.
Charis had done so many terrible things to her and Brandon. Because of her dubious acts, Brandon lost two years of his memories.
Janet vowed never to forgive Charis because of this matter alone.
Aside from that, Charis had attempted to k*il*l Janet many times, hoping to get Brandon for herself. Had Janet not found out about it in time, things could’ve gotten even worse.
Janet rubbed her temples wearily. Despite the fact that it was all in the past now, she still felt devastated by all the things Charis did.
After calming herself down, Janet focused on her work again.
She had almost finished designing Laney’s dress.
She immediately sent the draft to Laney to confirm if the latter was satisfied. Pretty soon, she received a response. “The dress looks amazing, Janet. I’ll show this to my mother-in-law and ask for her opinion!”
Based on Laney’s response, Janet gathered that the former was feeling a lot better than before. It also seemed as though Laney’s relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Harding was starting to get better.
“I’m glad you like it,” said Janet, smiling with satisfaction. “So, how’s life at the Harding household? If you’re ever feeling bored, you can hang out during weekends like we used to.”
As an outsider, there wasn’t much help that Janet could offer, nor could she relate to Laney’s plight. The only thing she could do was to keep her company in her time of need.
After sending the message, Janet stood up and went to the break room to get some water. When she passed by Elizabeth’s seat, she couldn’t help but take a look at it. The seat was left empty, and all the items on her desk had been removed. Seeing it so empty made Janet feel so sad.
Even until now, she had no idea when Jorge would be caught.
Brandon had promised her that he’d find Jorge at all costs, so it probably wouldn’t be long until he caught him. By then, Elizabeth could return.
Luckily, Janet had stayed in touch with Elizabeth. After the latter moved elsewhere, she sent Janet her new address.
On a whim, Janet returned to her own cubicle and searched the address given by Elizabeth.
Based on the map, it was quite near to the studio, so she decided to pay Elizabeth a visit after work.
Pretty soon, it was time to get off work.
Janet got off work on time, but she didn’t intend to go home for the time being. Instead, she took her bodyguard with her to Elizabeth’s new home.
The bodyguard disagreed with Janet’s decision because she thought it would be dangerous for her to be running around the city. However, she couldn’t dare to stop her. “Mrs. Larson, Mr. Larson said that you should get home right after work.”
Ignoring her bodyguard’s reminder, Janet quickened her pace.
At times, she felt that her bodyguard was merely keeping an eye on her for Brandon.
“Have you all been trained to say the same words in Shadow?” Janet said, pretending to be angry.
Laney had said similar things to her before when she was still Janet’s bodyguard.
The bodyguard was taken aback to see that Janet was angry. She stopped in her tracks and said, “My apologies, Mrs. Larson. I’m just worried about any danger that might arise.”
Upon seeing that stern look on her bodyguard’s face, Janet chuckled. “Fine. Relax, I’m not mad at you. I just texted Brandon to inform him before I got off work.”
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the neighborhood where Elizabeth lived.
It was an old residential area.
Once they passed a certain block, the bodyguard stopped. “What’s wrong? Why did you stop?” asked Janet.
The bodyguard gave a hinted that someone was following them. Janet got the hint and looked back nonchalantly.
There was a man in black, standing beneath a nearby tree. The man looked familiar to Janet. Upon taking a closer look, she recognized that it was Jorge.
Janet was on high alert. She didn’t know what to do now. Her bodyguard gave her a pat on the back. “Don’t be afraid, ma’am. Just keep walking. I’ll take care of that guy.”
Having said that, she said loudly, “Mrs. Larson, go ahead without me. I sprained my ankle.”
Janet nodded, walked on, and pretended like nothing happened.
