NovelAppThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 179: An "Acquaintance"After taking a shower, Jcout of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her wet hair.She pulled the towel off her
head and started drying her wet hair.Her cheeks were slightly ruddy from the steamy bathroom, which made her look like a
plump pink peach.Her eyelashes were wet and slightly plastered together, giving her eyes a doe-like effect.
As he looked at her, Ethan couldn’t help but be reminded of a wild cat he had once seen on the roadside on a rainy day.That little
wild cat had the exact swide, doe-like eyes.
Just then, he noticed that Jwas observing him as well.Ethan frowned slightly.
Under her piercing gaze, he felt as though she was trying to see right through his soul.
‘I wonder what’s on her mind?’ he thought to himself.
Ethan leaned back into the sofa and looked back at her calmly.
Finally, he said in a low voice, "Don’t beat around the bush and go straight to the point."
He was always this casual and blunt, but his sudden seriousness still made Janet’s hair stand on end.
"It’s nothing.Just focus on your game." Jguiltily averted her gaze and retreated to her bedroom, all the while still drying her
hair.
It seemed that she couldn’t take her eyes off of his hip.
‘Oh, my God.His buttocks are so round!’ Jthought inwardly.
Just as she was about to enter the room, Ethan’s deep voice interrupted her.
"I forgot to ask-did you want to go somewhere for our honeymoon?" Life tended to becdry and monotonous at times.
Ethan reasoned that they needed to spice things up from tto time.
Moreover, he wanted to make things up to Jand give her all the best things in the world.
Jhesitated slightly.She thought that it was a good idea, but she had just gotten back on track at work, so she couldn’t take a
leave anytsoon.
"No, thanks.I’m so busy with work these days, so I don’t think I have the tto go on a trip."
As she spoke, Ethan was gazing at the dark night from the window.Then, he closed his eyes and pressed his fingers against his
temple.It was the first tthat he couldn’t figure out what was on Janet’s mind.
He had already taken care of everything.
Had he done anything wrong? At ten o’clock that evening, the subordinate Ethan tasked with investigating the fraud group
texted.
To Ethan’s surprise, it was an "acquaintance".
"We’ve garnered nearly all the information from the fraud group themselves.It turned out that Fiona sought out their boss around
a month ago.She gave him a large sum of money and asked him to look for Hannah.He’s a swindler, so it wasn’t a big deal for
him to deceive one more person.Moreover, he could’ve gotten more money from the deal, so he agreed to Fiona’s request.Fiona
also suggested that he harass Hannah for the money, but when they saw how old and weak she was, they showed her mercy."
After reading the message, Ethan tossed his phone aside and tinkered with an empty can of beer in silence.He walked over to
the balcony and rested his arms on the railing.
Wearing loose pajamas, he looked slimmer and less muscular than he actually was.So, it turned out that the Lind family had
struck Hannah because they couldn’t seem to touch Janet.
By targeting Hannah, they could destroy Janet.They were playing with fire.
Ethan sneered coldly into the night.He was not a forgiving man.
Plus, Jhad severed all ties with the Lind family.
There was no need to be polite to strangers.
The next second, he grabbed his phone and made a call.
"The Lind family has been living way too comfortably lately."
Ethan fiddled with the pull tab on the can.
His cold voice seemed to pierce the darkness of the night.
