The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 241

However, even though she disliked them, Charis knew she had to give Fiona and Jocelyn some hope.

Fiona rubbed her fingers awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Turner. Ignore my words."

"Mrs. Lind, please? I didn't mean that I don't like Jocelyn. To be honest, my father has dated a lot of women in the past. But they were all gold-diggers. However, Jocelyn is the only one I liked. She is genuine and likes my dad for who he is and not his money." Charis continued to flatter them, hoping they would take the bait.

Her words ignited a spark of hope in Fiona's heart.

"What do you mean, Miss Turner?" Fiona and Jocelyn exchanged glances. They were on an emotional rollercoaster.

"My father had stopped loving my mother a long time ago; their marriage is already dead. In fact, I'd be doing them a favor by helping them find true love." Charis sighed dramatically. She knew this was what Fiona hoped to hear from her.

"My father likes you a lot." She smiled at Jocelyn. "You have been with him for a while, right? I have never seen him be this happy with any woman before. It was he who asked me to visit you and see if you were okay."

Both Fiona and Jocelyn couldn't contain their excitement. They looked at each other, grinning.

"Mr. Turner has seldom mentioned his family to me. He would always avoid the topic every time I asked about it. After a while, he grew impatient. Besides, he never takes me to important occasions. It made me think he doesn't like me." A smile finally appeared on Jocelyn's face.

Fiona herself used to be the other woman. She believed that all men were weak, and it was easy to seduce them.

"Mrs. Lind, there is no rush. Marriage is a longterm commitment. It requires a lot of planning." Charis forced a smile. But deep down, she was disgusted by their greed.

"I agree." Fiona nodded in understanding. There was indeed no rush. They had to take it slow.

She felt a rush of anger at the miserable sight of her daughter lying on the bed. "I want to take revenge on Janet. She has to pay the price for hurting Jocelyn."
