The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 401: The Cooperation Was Cancelled
At first, Janet had been focused on the food, but when she glanced down by chance, she saw Ronald fumbling on Patty’s thighs. His face was almost buried in her chest. Janet’s seat was very close to Patty’s so she heard what Ronald had said very clearly.
A frown settled on her face at the words, and she felt uncomfortable. She was still thinking about how to deal with the situation, when Patty smiled faintly To Janet’s surprise, she stood up, smashed the wine glassin Ronald’s face, and spat, “You old goat! How dare you get fresh with me?! Do you think you can take advantage of me just because you are in charge of the project?”
The glassshattered against Ronald’s forehead, leaving a cut. He covered the wound immediately and gr0@ned in pain. Blood and wine flowed down his face. He was so stunned that it took him a few seconds before he raised his head again and glared at Patty.
“Are you crazy?” he shouted angrily. “You came on to me first! You came to have dinner with me, and you’re wearing such a s*e*xy dress on purpose! Why are you suddenly pretending to be a saint? You b*tch!”
Patty’s face turned red in rage. Not to be outdone, she responded loudly, “When did I come on to you? Bastard! You asked us out just to take advantage of us! Spend a night with you? Why not look at yourself in the mirror first? Go f*uc*k yourself, you disgusting old bastard!”
The two of them began exchanging fierce insults and the atmosphere in the private room became increasingly tense. It looked like the two were close to exchanging blows, so Janet decided to take Patty away for the time being, scared that things would escalate.
“Miss Jenkins, can you please come to the bathroom with me?”
Janet quickly grabbed Patty’s bag from the chair and dragged her out of the private room. The door shut behind them, cutting off Ronald’s insults as he yelled after them, and leaving the restaurant’s hallway silent.
Patty’s rage hadn’t subsided yet. She pushed Janet away and said, “You’re such a coward. Why didn’t you stand up to him?”
Janet let out a helpless sigh. Considering the fact that Patty was still in a bad mood after being hara*s*sed like that, she didn’t argue with her.
“It’s best if we aren’t in there with him right now. He’s drunk. If we really fight him, we could get seriously hurt. We’re both women after all.”
Patty didn’t respond to that. Rolling her eyes at Janet, she snatched her bag from her and left the restaurant still looking pissed.
The next day Janet went to the company as usual. She was thinking about how to deal with the situation after Patty offended Ronald the day before, but before she came up with a solution, Tiffany came to find her.
“Janet! I want to see you in my office, right now!” Tiffany’s eyes were full of rage.
Tiffany rarely lost her temper. It was terrifying seeing her so angry. It seemed she had heard what happened.
Trembling with fear, Janet headed to Tiffany’s office. When she got there, she found that Patty was already there. Tiffany glared at the two of them and slammed the documents in her hands on the table.
“Now which one of you wants to explain to me what is going on?! Ronald called me this morning in a fit. He said that they are canceling all plans to cooperate with us and that they would never have any contact with Larson Group’s design department ever again. Not only that, they have made us an enemy, so they won’t just ignore us, they will go out of their way to work against us!”
