The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 822

Janet tossed the invitation card onto the nightstand before lying down on the bed.

She inhaled deeply and said, "Nothing."

Evidently, she was lost in her own world of thoughts.

Upon seeing the invitation card on the nightstand, Brandon took it and read it.

His recent work schedule had been fairly full. Many invitations had been sent to him and Janet to attend this charity event, but he had always declined.

"Would you want to attend this fundraising dinner?" Brandon raised an eyebrow and looked at the invitation before uttering calmly, "I do have two meetings on Saturday. But if you'd like to attend this charity dinner, I can always postpone my meetings until next week and accompany you."

Janet was hesitant. "I don't feel like it. However, when I contacted Laney just now, it looked like Mrs. Harding wanted her to attend the party. I'm just concerned about Laney because I sense that something bad might happen."

She turned and addressed Brandon, "As you are aware, Laney has never encountered such a scenario before. Laney will unquestionably be in a bad position if people purposefully cause her trouble."

Brandon listened to Janet attentively as he looked her in the eye.

"Mrs. Harding went in Laney's room when we were on the phone, and I overheard their conversation. At the upcoming charity event, I have a feeling Mrs. Harding would like to humiliate Laney. Remember, I've been there before."

Janet clenched her teeth in contemplation. This was the type of conduct that she strongly disapproved of.

Brandon smiled lightly. "Garrett's constant whining about his family issues gave it away. Actually, he is still kind of lucky. While Mrs. Harding's need to be in charge might be annoying at times, at least she has always been there in Garrett's life."

When Brandon was younger, he believed it would be a good thing if his mother kept nagging him. At the time, he thought that Garrett was oblivious to his good luck.

Janet's heart skipped a beat, and what Brandon said made her feel sorry for him.

Janet could see through Brandon. She saw the sadness under his normal composure.

As a kid, Brandon should have yearned for the love of his family. Brandon envied the affection that Garrett received, despite Mrs. Harding's strong desire for control.
