The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 1086

Johanna remained silent throughout the journey, closely observing Brandon until they finally arrived at the White family estate.

"While your father and I were away, I had some people come in to refurbish the place. You will be staying here tonight." Johanna said, arm in arm with Janet as they entered the house.

The original house had a charm due to its antique features. However, it was now fully equipped with the latest smart furniture and adorned in shades of grey, giving it a more modern and lavish feel.

Behind the ladies, as they led the way, Brandon and Beal conversed about their own company's business prospects.

When the conversation ended, the topic turned to family matters. Beal playfully reminded Brandon, "It's about time for you and Janet to consider having children, don't you think?"

Janet's ears turned red upon hearing this conversation, and she looked back at her father before offering, "Dad, I learned some new recipes when Brandon was in the hospital. How about I cook them for you?"

"Looks like today is my lucky day." Beal looked at Johanna with pride as if to say, "See? My daughter is going to cook for me."

"I've already asked a chef to come here today, so you do not have to cook." Johanna anxiously clung to Janet's hand.

She wanted to spend more time to bond with Janet more because her daughter was always too busy to visit.

"But I really want to make dinner for you and dad." Janet pleaded, holding Johanna's arm and leaning against her shoulder like a child.

Johanna couldn't resist her daughter's plea and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, you can cook."

With that, Janet rolled up her sleeves and headed into the kitchen, pushing Brandon out. "Go and chat with them. They're bored and are outside watching TV."

"Let Brandon explain first. He's always been considerate and truthful. I'm sure he has a good reason." Beal urged, "Brandon, say something. Explain it to us."

With her lips tightly pressed together, Johanna said in a frigid tone, "Had Janet not been present, I would have confronted you when we left the interrogation

room. It appears that Janet is unaware of your condition. Wasn't she given the files?"

"After Janet fell asleep, I deleted them. She remains oblivious to my condition." With a solemn demeanor, Brandon lowered his gaze and rose to his feet, bowing to them respectfully. "However, I do have a reason, and I would be grateful if you could hear me out."

Johanna was apprehensive about her daughter and sighed, her stern expression softening. "Janet will be devastated if she finds out. The reason we summoned you here today is to seek to hear your explanation."
