The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 86

“Why not? Fortunately, this dish was not boiling hot. Otherwise, it would have burned your artificial face for which you had spent a lot of money.”

Janet smiled calmly as she put the plate back on the table. Then, she picked up the three hundred dollars from the floor and threw them at Jocelyn’s face. “Take back your three hundred dollars. You ruined my dress, and I did the same to you. We’re even. How much is your dress? I’ll pay for it.”

“Do you think you can afford it? You fucking bitch! I’ll teach you a lesson today!” Jocelyn quickly wiped the sauce off her face and darted toward Janet.

Ethan quickly stood in front of Janet to protect her. His face darkened in an instant.

All the staff and security guards at the party were trained and experienced. Before Ethan could do anything, one of the staff dragged Jocelyn away and threw her to the floor.

Garrett had been gone only for a while and didn’t expect something like this to happen. Hearing the commotion, he rushed over and walked through the crowd. His eyes widened when he saw Janet’s stained dress and Jocelyn’s disheveled hair. The carpet was covered in red wine and sauce.

“What happened? Who is making trouble?” Garrett asked, his jaw tense with rage.

Jocelyn had met this man before. He was the one who had driven her out of the Larson Group the previous time. Later, she learned that he was Garrett Harding, the deputy CEO of the Larson Group and the son of the famous Harding family. “Why not? Fortunotely, this dish wos not boiling hot. Otherwise, it would hove burned your ortificiol foce for which you hod spent o lot of money.”

Jonet smiled colmly os she put the plote bock on the toble. Then, she picked up the three hundred dollors from the floor ond threw them ot Jocelyn’s foce. “Toke bock your three hundred dollors. You

ruined my dress, ond I did the some to you. We’re even. How much is your dress? I’ll poy for it.”

“Do you think you con offord it? You fucking bitch! I’ll teoch you o lesson todoy!” Jocelyn quickly wiped the souce off her foce ond dorted toword Jonet.

All the stoff ond security guords ot the porty were troined ond experienced. Before Ethon could do onything, one of the stoff drogged Jocelyn owoy ond threw her to the floor.

Gorrett hod been gone only for o while ond didn’t expect something like this to hoppen. Heoring the commotion, he rushed over ond wolked through the crowd. His eyes widened when he sow Jonet’s stoined dress ond Jocelyn’s disheveled hoir. The corpet wos covered in red wine ond souce.

“Whot hoppened? Who is moking trouble?” Gorrett osked, his jow tense with roge.

Jocelyn hod met this mon before. He wos the one who hod driven her out of the Lorson Group the previous time. Loter, she leorned thot he wos Gorrett Hording, the deputy CEO of the Lorson Group ond the son of the fomous Hording fomily.

The men she had dated so far faded in comparison to Garrett.

Jocelyn pointed at Janet, who was standing behind Ethan. “It’s her!” she pouted, trying to sound pitiful. “I accidentally spilled wine on her dress, but she unreasonably threw this dish on me. Why would you let such a crazy woman into the party?”

Jocelyn knew that her makeup and clothes were ruined, and she looked terrible at the moment.

Therefore, her hatred for Janet intensified. The woman had ruined her night and her chances for seducing Garrett.

Janet lowered her eyes and fell silent. Ethan pulled her closer into his arms and sneered. “You should have hit her harder. Look at the way she is talking about you now.”

Janet’s eyes narrowed. She shouldn’t have attacked Jocelyn, but she just couldn’t take it anymore.

Growing up together, she found out about Jocelyn’s true nature long ago.

Ethan smiled tenderly and stroked Janet’s hair as he secretly winked at Garrett.

Sensing the warning in his eyes, Garrett pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked at Ethan. The coldness of his gaze sent a shiver down Garrett’s spine.

He understood what the man meant and beckoned at the waiter. “Go and get a new evening gown here, now.”

Hearing that, Jocelyn’s face suddenly lit up, and her lips curled up into an arrogant smile.

She assumed the evening gown was for her, which meant Garrett was on her side. ‘Janet is doomed!’

“The Larson Group is indeed a big enterprise. I won’t hold you accountable for what happened to me at your dinner party today,” Jocelyn said arrogantly.

The corners of Garrett’s mouth twitched in embarrassment. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Who let this mad woman in?’ he thought.

Thinking that Garrett cared about her, Jocelyn assumed she had a good chance with him. She winked at him seductively in front of all the people.

Garrett seemed like the perfect guy for her. He was from a wealthy family and held a high position in a reputable company. Moreover, he was tall, well-built, and handsome. Jocelyn felt it would be great if

she hooked up with him. Her future would dazzle if she got married to him.

Seeing that Garrett was still silent, she walked up to him and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Mr. Harding.”

The gravy mingled with her perfume and makeup exuded a disgusting smell. Garrett clamped his mouth, for the scent made him sick. However, Jocelyn continued to walk toward him.
