The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Janet didn’t sleep well that night because of their sex marathon, and she looked listless when she woke up. She then lay back in
bed again, naked, with only a duvet draped around her body.
Ethan, on the other hand, had the best night of the past weeks. He casually buttoned up his black shirt, walked to the bedside
with his coat, and stroked Janet’s waist gently. “Would you like to sleep in a little longer?”
“Yes. Could you order a sandwich and black coffee for me? I’ll eat it later,” Janet said, peeking at him under her heavy eyelids
lazily.
With a gentle smile, Ethan tucked her hair behind her ear, leaned over, and kissed her soft earlobe. “Okay. I’ll wait for you in the
dining room downstairs. Take your time.”
The resort by the beach in Seacisco had always been famous for its exquisite breakfast.
Ethan didn’t order Janet’s food right away. Instead, he waited a little, thinking that Janet would get up after a while. Finally, he
asked the waiter for a sandwich with ham and a cup of Americano for Janet and a cup of Blue Mountain for himself. When the
waiter left, he lowered his head to read today’s morning newspaper.
Half an hour later, Janet finally climbed out of bed and went downstairs. Looking at the steaming coffee and sandwich, she
smiled and praised him, “Honey, great timing!”
Ethan put down the newspaper and took a sip of coffee, smiling gently as Janet wolfed down her breakfast.
It wasn’t until he met the eyes of another woman sitting at a table near them that the tender look in his eyes disappeared.

Today, Charis had brought her employees to the beach for some rest and relaxation. In the dining room of their hotel, she saw a
man leisurely reading a newspaper. She could only partially see his face from behind the newspaper, but she felt that his eyes
and brows were very similar to Ethan’s.
Sure enough, when the man lowered the newspaper, she saw that it was indeed Ethan.
She couldn’t help but smile, first surprised, and then confused. She didn’t expect to see Ethan back in Seacisco.
After their altercation, Charis had been concentrating on managing the family business, and now she had become the vice
president of their company.
Putting all her time and energy into her career had helped her temporarily forget about Ethan and Janet.
But that didn’t mean that Charis had given up. She was just biding her time and gathering strength before she would take the
next step.
Recently, she heard about the news that the Lester family had been engaged in a lawsuit against Ethan, which had caused a
great stir in Seacisco. Almost everyone in the business world was excited to watch a good show. Would the Larson Group defeat
the Lester family or would the Lester family trample over the Larson Group?

Too many things had happened during this period of time, and it seemed that the business world of Seacisco was about to
change greatly.
Charis thought that Ethan would be too busy to care about her, so she continued to focus on her career.
She also learned from Luke that some time ago, Ethan had put Elissa behind bars. It was said that Elissa had poisoned Janet,
nearly killing the latter. Charis felt bad that Janet survived the whole ordeal.
Charis shook her head, burying those messy thoughts in the back of her mind. She hadn’t seen Ethan in a long time. When she
saw him again, her suppressed feelings surged up all of a sudden. She couldn’t resist approaching him and striking up a
conversation.
“Brandon, when did you get back to Seacisco?” Charis walked over and greeted the man with a decent smile, as if nothing had
happened in the past.
Ethan’s first reaction was not to respond to her, but to stand up and step in between her and Janet. He carefully protected Janet
behind him, as if Charis were a man-eating demon.
Charis smiled bitterly. “Is this really necessary? Brandon, we’ve known each other for years, but now you see me as an enemy.
Am I so terrible in your eyes?”
She felt ridiculous. She used to be Brandon’s classmate and business partner. She had thought that their relationship wouldn’t
have become so strained even if they had a falling out.
Standing over Charis domineeringly, Ethan said in a cold voice, “I’ve told you very clearly that you’re dead to me. Who knows
what you’ll try to do to my wife again?”
