The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet)
Chapter 418 They Weren't On Speaking Terms

"It's none of your business, Mr. Larson!" As Janet carried the folded clothes, she tried to grab the suitcase from him.

'Where am I supposed to go? I don't even have any idea. It's going to cost a lot of money to replace a new apartment, and that's money I don't have at the moment. I've given most of my saving to Tyler,' she thought.

It was almost impossible to rent an ideal apartment nearby her workplace. Because of her current financial situation, her salary wouldn't be enough to cover both rent and living expenses. Janet hadn't thought about what to do next at the moment. 'Should I really get divorced? Should I resign and leave the Larson Group for good?' Things didn't seem to be that serious, but she had blurted out some unpleasant words when she was angry.

She couldn't just take back what she said now.

Seeing as Janet was still fuming with rage, Ethan stared at her in silence for a long time before he found his voice. "You can get mad at me all you want, but you can't leave. I'm not going to let you leave." He refused to let go of the suitcase. He straightened himself up, and lifted the suitcase, intending to take it away.

"Don't think I'm going to forgive you that easily!" Janet pursed her lips while staring at the clothes in her hand. It seemed as though she was determined to go through with this.

She glared at Ethan for a long time, uncertain of what to say. Finally, she grabbed all of her clothes and belongings from the sofa and brought them into the room. She shut the door behind her and decided to ignore him.

Ethan, on the other hand, took a deep breath.

For now, the situation was still under his control. At the very least, Janet wasn't going to move out anytime soon.

The sadness in his heart diminished, but he knew full well that the problem was yet to be solved.

Ethan clenched the suitcase handle and put it down. He carefully took all of Janet's stuff out of the suitcase and put them back where they used to be.

Once Janet was inside the room, she wanted to replace out what Ethan was doing outside, so she opened the door quietly. Outside, she saw him carefully putting away her stuff before taking off his coat and doing household chores.

Ethan was the CEO of the Larson Group. There was no need for him to do such menial labor. As a matter of fact, he had changed so much for her. Janet closed the door again and leaned against it, feeling a lump in her throat.

After that encounter, she didn't speak to Ethan again.

She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do. Right now, all she wanted to do was to be alone and at peace.

Whenever she was frowning, she looked really unapproachable.

Sometime later, Janet was able to stay calm and assess her situation. 'I've been living a happy life with Ethan ever since we're married. Is all of this going to be ruined just because of a lie?' Truthfully, she didn't want to give up on their relationship, but the fact that he had lied to her really bothered her a lot.

Ethan was cautious around Janet, for fear of irritating her again. He was replaceing it difficult to understand women more and more. Most of the time, she would ignore him. But all he could do was tolerate her behavior for now and carefully observe her.

Janet spent the entire day inside the room, forgetting that she had to go to work today.

She had thought it over later, and decided to just go to work tomorrow. Whether she liked it or not, she'd have to decide if she still wanted to continue working for the Larson Group or not. It was imperative that she dealt with the matter of her job properly.

She was well aware that she couldn't just skip work for the rest of her life just because of this matter.
