The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 427

The car was filled with a thick silence. Instead of making a scene, Janet chose to be calm and asked, "Will you please unlock the door? I want to go back."

She turned away and stared at the scenery through the window. It was a very long winter this year, in Seacisco.

Ethan unlocked the door with shaky fingers. The tremor in his fingers had not stopped yet.

Janet shut the car door carefully and went back to the villa. She had to get Ethan to agree to the divorce because she didn't think she would be able to live with him as a couple like they had done in the past. She knew if he didn't agree then the divorce would not happen. Janet was completely worn out as she entered the villa.

She knew she could not be compared to someone as perfect as Charis. Which was why it baffled her that Ethan was so into her. These questions without answers left her feeling confused and pained.

No, she would not think about this anymore. It only proved to be a waste of her time since she could not find the answers to them anyway. She went to her room in silence and buried her face in the pillow, covering herself with the bed sheet. She had thought that everything was done with. She would leave Ethan even if he refused to grant her a divorce. She did not belong here with him, not after the hell he had put her through.

Tears fell from Janet's eyes and she bit her lips hard to try and stop them from falling. She missed home and wanted to return there, to the house where she and Hannah had live before. *******

A huge wall separated them. Ethan found it difficult to get the words he so desperately wanted to say out of his mouth. He remained in front of Janet's door, lost in thoughts.

Garrett had not been expecting that line of question from Ethan so suddenly. He frowned at Ethan's words. "She traveled abroad to deal with some financial issues we had a few days ago. She just got back actually. I think she will mind her words. She is smart enough to know that."

"I tasked my assistant with investigating what happened to Janet today. There appeared to be nothing unusual during the day, but the surveillance video cannot account for what happened when she went downstairs by the time she was off duty."

Garrett could not help but think that Ethan was making accusations he could not support with facts. "There was a general meeting of the top executives a few days ago and the decision was made at the meeting to upgrade our security system. So it wasn't really an accident that the CCTV cameras were shut down after work. The two things happening at the same time is purely coincidental and I think you are overthinking it." "Janet walked downstairs from the floor of the design department, but then she chose to take the elevator from the second floor. Why? What exactly on the first floor made her so afraid that she went back to take the elevator?" Ethan could feel in his gut that something dubious had happened.
