The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet)
Chapter 1010 Accidentally Hurt Him

Confused, Sean spun around and queried, "Mrs. Larson, what are you trying to say?"

In a mild grin, Janet said, "Tonight is all about Estella. You should have a good time with her. Please don't let me be the reason you hurt her feelings. In addition, it won't help even if you tell Estella. There would only be one more person worried sick about me."

"But..." Sean hesitated.

It was around this time when Estella walked to them. With a sly smile, she grasped Sean's arm and added, "You ignored my several attempts to reach you. The host requests a group photograph." Estella grinned and pulled Janet along. "Hurry up! You have to be there!"

"If I go with you, Mesue won't replace me when she comes back," Janet said, pinching Estella's cheek affectionately. "You're the star of the show tonight. Take Sean and get some lovely pictures. Let me be. Remember not to drink too much."

Estella pouted and replied, "Okay, be careful on your way back."

Giving Sean a gentle push, Janet smiled and said, "Go with Estella. She's all yours from now on."

After Sean and Estella left, Janet glanced at the clock on the wall.

Mesue had been out getting the car for a while. Why wasn't she there yet?

Janet anxiously called Mesue. At the same time, she walked towards the entrance of the hotel.

However, before she reached the door, she felt like someone was following her.

When Janet looked back, she didn't see anything suspicious, but that strange feeling persisted. The image of being watched popped into her mind again.

Janet was convinced that there must be someone behind her!

She'd been carrying a portable taser around ever since the last time she was involved in an accident. She stealthily reached into her bag. As soon as the person behind her got close to her, she immediately activated the taser and swung it at the person approaching her from behind.

"Ah! Hey! Do you want to kill me with that thing?" With a shriek and a moan, Janet spun around and saw Derek lying on the ground, clutching his belly.

"Why the hell are you here?" Surprised, Janet put away the taser and squatted down to assist Derek. "I'm sorry."

"Hey, I asked you to come straight to her and greet her directly, but you said that you wanted to give her a surprise." Wilder was also alarmed. He and Janet helped Derek to a corner of the banquet hall. Derek covered his belly and wailed, "My innards are in so much pain. Am I going to kick the bucket?"

Janet also got anxious. "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. My mini taser isn't that powerful. Hang in there. I'll call the doctor." "There's no need. Just press it with your hand. That will do it." Derek placed Janet's hand on his belly and continued to cry out in pain. Staring at Derek with a poker face, Janet arched her eyebrows and grinned. "Does it work? Allow me to give you a soothing massage then!" She pinched Derek's stomach firmly.

"Ouch! Janet! You!" Derek was outraged but he didn't dare to say anything. Realizing that his little trick had been uncovered, he composed himself and straightened out his suit. "Are you smelling a rat?

You even brought a taser with you! If I had been snapped by my fans when I stumbled just now and it trended on the top search, you would be the one taking the heat!"

Sitting beside Derek, Janet felt a bit guilty. "I thought someone was approaching me on purpose just now, so I defended myself subconsciously. I didn't expect you to be here."

Wilder stood in front of the two and said with a smile, "Don't get him wrong, Mrs. Larson. Derek is here for the activity. Many film and television companies want to invite him to film his first TV series after he transformed to an actor from a model, so he had been socializing just now and hadn't come to greet you."

Derek glared at Wilder unhappily. He grabbed a strawberry from the table and popped it into his mouth. "It's all because you've been pushing me to mingle with those female bosses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to wait until now."

Just a moment ago, Derek saw that Janet was about to leave, so he came to her after dealing with those old biddies.

With a look of disappointment, Wilder pointed at Derek with his quivering hands and said, "You brat, don't you know how good I am to you? You are on the verge of transforming your career, so you have to interact with more producers. They are all producers of hit domestic TV series. If you play ball with them, you can secure your reputation, which will be a feather in your cap in the future."

"Why are you always yammering like an old crow?" Holding his chin, Derek began to bicker with Wilder.

However, Janet was thinking about something else.

Derek must have seen her going at it with Kathie and wanted to help, but he was dragged away by Wilder all the time. Was this the root of her illusion that she had been under someone's eye?
