NovelAppThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 639: Is Janet DeadUnbeknownst to the two men, Janet was clinging to the side of the reef, panting breathlessly.
In fact, she didn't swim away at all.She was painfully aware that she couldn't outrun their yacht, so when those men went back to
their vessel, she left her coat in the sea, swam back to the reef, and hid in a shallow stone cave.She hoped that they would think
she drowned and give up looking for her when they saw her coat floating in the distance.
Janet hadn't had a proper meal in several days.It took all her remaining strength to escape just now.She squatted weakly in the
stone cave, trembling from the cold and hunger.
Things couldn't be that simple.
The sudden landslide, the car accident, and now the hit men who tried to kill her...
All of a sudden, it dawned on Janet.
Her "accident" was no accident at all.
Charis waited for what felt like an eternity on the shore when the yacht finally came back.
"How'd it go? Jimmy told me you found her.So where is she?"
Charis looked around the yacht but didn't see Janet.Her eyes went wide in fury.
"You didn't lose her, did you?"
Then lanky man called Jimmy glanced at his companion John and stammered, "We did find her, and we tried to trick her into
getting on the yacht...But she somehow figured out that we weren't from the search and rescue team, so she tried to escape and
jumped into the sea.After that, John and I looked for her, circling the area countless times, but we couldn't find her.We only found
her coat floating alone.She...She must've drowned.It's the only possibility."
Charis's eyebrows shot up dubiously.
"Really?" John nodded seriously.
"Janet should be dead.She jumped off a very high reef and swam for a long time.And I heard there are many white sharks in that
area.Even if she didn't drown from exhaustion, she most likely would've been eaten by the sharks."
Charis grabbed Janet's coat and clutched it tightly in her hands.She felt no sense of relief.
Over the past couple of days, she had secretly sent a lot of people to look for Janet, trying to get rid of this woman before anyone
else found her.
If Janet showed up again, it would disrupt her plan.
"You can't even catch a girl! You losers! Go back to the reef and check again! Sheisn't that stupid.I doubt she drowned! Even if
she's really dead, I wanna see her body!"
Because they only found Janet's coat and not her body, Charis wasn't convinced.
"The sun's setting.How can we look for her in the dark? It was you who asked us to drown her.You forbade us to use any
weaponry, and that was why she got away.If we could've used our guns, we would've shot her on the spot."
John was angry.He had never gotten a job wherein the method of killing had to be so specific.
Charis had ordered them specifically to drown Janet and then bring back the body.
That way, everyone would believe that her death was an accident and no one would suspect foul play.
That was why she didn't allow the hit men to use any weapon of any sort, lest they leave any suspicious marks on her body.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you have to make it look like an accident? If there is a gunshot wound on her body,
the White family will find out that it was murder.You are all idiots!"
Jimmy rubbed his temples and complained, "But it's getting dark now.We won't be able to find her even if we tried.There are only
reefs in that area, and there's no food or fresh water there.Even if Janet is still alive, she won't last long."
"Jesus Christ! Forget it.Let's call it a day."
Charis still felt uneasy, but she knew that the chances of surviving after jumping into the sea were really low.Besides, she knew
that the White family was also searching for Janet nearby.If her men ran into theirs, things would be more troublesome.
Therefore, Charis dismissed most of her men, leaving only a small group to continue searching for Janet near the reef area.
