Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son (Ethan and Janet)

Chapter 1139 New Studio

Mandy fixed her hair, took a deep breath, her face red from embarrassment. "Brandon Larson!"

Draco frowned. A faint smile then appeared on his lips as he said, "He is certainly the kind of guy who can make people angry."

He then pressed the car key in his hand twice and found his car. "But he's not the type to pick a fight with someone for no reason. What did you do? Did you quarrel with Janet?"

"Not really," Mandy whispered to Draco.

"Then what did you do?" Draco questioned seriously.

Mandy was stunned for a moment, but then she quickly sat down in his car and complained, "I want Janet to move out of your studio as soon as possible, so I was just trying to help her find a new place of her own. I was just being kind, wasn't I? But then Brandon taunted me and left with Janet as though I was trying to bully her!"

Draco had his gaze fixed on the road as he slowly turned the steering wheel and said calmly, "I don't know if you were doing it purely out of kindness or not, but from what I know, Janet is a talented designer. If you can get to know her without any prejudice, she'll surprise you."

With a frown, Mandy looked at Draco's serious profile, pursing her red lips.

It was the first time she heard Draco commenting about Janet. She had talked about Janet with him before, but his attitude had always been neutral, but today, she sensed a hint of threat when Draco praised Janet.

Meanwhile, Janet and Brandon were driving back, but there was a terrible silence in the car.

Janet touched Brandon's fingers as she looked out the window in confusion. "This doesn't seem to be the way home."

Locking his fingers with hers, Brandon looked straight and said, "Turn left at the next intersection." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sean obediently followed the order and turned the Bentley, driving into the busiest street in Barnes.

"How about we get down and take a walk?" Brandon got out of the car, and reached out his hand for Janet, who was still stunned.

"Hannah is waiting at home for me." Hesitant, Janet placed her hand in his and got out of the car.

They had only walked a few steps before Brandon stopped all of a sudden. He looked up at the small building before him, which had damaged outer walls and no signboard.

"What do you think of this place?"

Janet took a good look at the building and said, "It's a great choice. It is located in the busiest area in Barnes and there're lots of universities and schools nearby. As long as the place is well-designed, it would definitely be a huge success. The only issue might be the price. I'm guessing that the rent might be high. Am I right?"

"This is nothing for the Larson Group." Brandon turned back and continued, "How about making this building your new studio?"

Janet was still looking at the building when she heard him. She was a little startled by his question. "I'm not ready to become an independent designer. I still feel like I need time to practice and gain more experience before setting up my own studio."

Brandon smiled and pretended to be casual. "Take your time to think about it. This building is yours now, anyway."

He was actually relieved to hear that Janet was leaving the W Marks Studio.

Because leaving W Marks would mean leaving Draco,

which in his opinion, was the best decision Janet had made this year. Her other best decision was getting married to Brandon.

Janet pursed her lips. She was scared of owning a building, not to mention she hadn't even decided if she wanted to leave W Marks yet. Such big decisions were easy for a high-placed man like Brandon, but they were a big deal to her.

Flustered, she asked, "Honey, why are you so happy about me leaving W Marks?"

Grinning, Brandon stared deep into her eyes and said in a low voice that only they both could hear, "Do you trust in my judgment? Mandy is arrogant and unstable. She will certainly make trouble for W Marks. It's best if you left before such things go south."

Janet cast a sidelong glance at him, feeling helpless.

Brandon chuckled and threw his coat on her head.

After struggling to get it off, Janet kicked him, and fixed her hair. "You're so childish! You even messed up my hair..."

She knew that Draco was also one of the reasons why Brandon wanted her to leave W Marks.

"Stand still. I'll fix it for you." Brandon's lips curled into a smile as he gently raised his hand and smoothed her hair.

At that moment, Janet's phone rang.
