The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet)

Chapter 1322 Inexplicable Hostility

Janet shook her head and calmly said, "If Vivi's actions were solely her doing, I won't hold Star Entertainment responsible for it."

Just as Suzanne was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Janet calmly added, "However, if you happen to be the person behind it all, that'll be a different story." "Miss White, please believe me. I bear no grudge or ill will towards you. I have no reason to frame you, as that wouldn't serve me in any way," Suzanne quickly reassured Janet, with her gaze repeatedly wandering nervously towards Brandon.

Janet smiled, but remained silent. Her eyes subtly shifted to Brandon, making a quiet inquiry about the nature of his relationship with Suzanne.

Brandon caught Janet's gaze and innocently shook his head, signaling that he didn't even know Suzanne.

Upon noticing the coded interaction between the two of them, Suzanne smiled amicably and clarified, "Miss White, please don't get me wrong. Our company is planning to tender for the Larson Group's project, and I was worried that this incident might give Mr. Larson a bad impression of us. That's why I wanted to provide him with some clarification." Janet immediately understood the situation. "I see." Suzanne nodded and addressed Brandon with a palpable tone of sincerity, saying, "I truly hope that this incident won't give you a negative impression of our company, Mr. Larson. Please accept my apologies once again on behalf of Star Entertainment."

Brandon maintained a composed expression as he

responded, saying, "Tender evaluations are always based on each company's merits and capabilities. Until I review your company's tender documents, I won't hold any bias or judgment influenced by personal emotions against it."

Suzanne let out a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude. "Thank you both for your understanding. I was quite worried. Now that we've resolved this matter, I'll take my leave."

Janet and Brandon nodded in agreement.

After apologizing to the two of them once again, Suzanne turned around and left, her steps eased by her sense of relief.

As Janet watched her walk away, an inexplicable sense of hostility towards Suzanne suddenly welled up within her.

Janet couldn't pinpoint the exact reason why, but she had an instinctive aversion towards Suzanne and didn't want to have too much contact with her.

"What's wrong?" Brandon asked with concern after noticing the odd look on Janet's face. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Janet shook her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I can't quite put a finger on it, but something feels off about what happened."

Brandon held Janet's hand and comforted her gently, "Don't worry. If there's something wrong, I'll take care of it for you."

After the drama ended, the onlookers dispersed, and Frank, who had been patiently waiting on the sidelines for a long time, finally had the opportunity to approach Janet and Brandon.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen this morning," Frank remarked with a dejected shrug. "Will you still be going for your check-up today?"

Brandon glanced at Janet, and upon seeing her nod, he replied, "Yes, we'll proceed with the check- up as scheduled."

Once inside the hospital, Janet muttered with a mix of anxiety and dejection, "What a way to start the day. It's just my luck to have encountered such an unfortunate incident. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get good results from the checkup."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and prayed in silence.

Brandon couldn't help but find Janet's move amusing. He gently reached out and rubbed her head, comforting her in a soft voice. "Don't worry. The check-up will go well. Everything will be fine."

Janet's anxiety began to subside as Brandon's words sank in. She took hold of his large hand and leaned up to give him a tender kiss on the cheek. "Yes! Everything will definitely be fine!"

After finishing her words, Janet heard the doctor calling her into the examination room. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she walked towards the room, with the invisible support of Brandon's encouraging gaze.

He watched her slim but strong figure as she made her way towards the room, feeling an infinite wave of love and tenderness wash all over him.

So what if there even was a problem? He would always be Janet's protector, ready to solve any problems she encountered. No matter what happened, they were going to have a child of their

own.
