The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1009 Foresight
Ameer didn’t dare do anything that might provoke Jagain. He was only putting on an act to please Janet, but he hadn’t
expected her to be so fierce. She didn’t even bat an eye when she saw him hit Kathie.
“I apologize, Mrs. Larson. You must have been frightened just now. That bitch, Kathie, is just so loathsome. I wouldn’t have said
those awful words if she bewitched me. I’m sorry for showing you such a disgraceful sight.” Jmerely smiled. She said
nothing and immediately averted her gaze to look around the venue.
Not willing to miss this opportunity, Ameer proceeded to fawn over her. “By the way, Mrs. Larson, how did you cto know
about my company? Has Mr. Larson been talking about it a lot?”
But Jwas quick to dash his hopes. “My husband doesn’t talk about work stuff with me.”
Ameer forced a smile. “I heard that you’re more focused on designing now that you’ve gained srenown of your own. Others
said that you barely ask about the business affairs of the Larson family or the White family. It seems that they are right.”
His attempt at a conversation was obvious. Jnodded coldly at him. “You’re a talkative one, aren’t you, Mr. Ortiz?”
frazzled that he didn’t even see the waiter approaching behind him, carrying a tray of drinks.
The two men had nearly bumped into each other, and the wine glasses shook dangerously on the tray.
“Are you blind?” Ameer snapped, glaring at the waiter. Sof the red wine had spilled onto his suit. He turned and stomped
away in anger.
No sooner had he left than Sean arrived. He looked Jup and down and heaved a sigh of relief only after seeing that she
was fine.
“I’m sorry for being late, Mrs. Larson. I cover as soon as I saw that old rascal hanging around you. Did he do anything to
you?” Sean was very familiar with the bosses of the enterprises that had, or were trying to build a business relationship with the
Larson Group. Among them, Ameer Ortiz was notorious for being a greedy man who liked chasing skirts and harassing young
women.
“It’s quite all right. He scampered away once he learned of my identity.” Jgave Sean a gentle smile. “Thank you for the
information you prepared for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to deal with that situation.”
“Of course, Mrs. Larson. You asked for the file, and I simply complied.” Sean looked embarrassed by her gratitude. “It’s a good
thing that you had the foresight to ask the list of Larson Group’s business partners beforehand.”
easier to socialize with them if I just know more about them. Brandon was right. He and I are a couple, and the things one of us
does will impact the other. I should pay better attention to my actions from now on.”
Before coming here, Jhad specifically asked Sean for a list of people whom she should take particular note of, especially
those who were connected to the Larson Group. She had taken the tto browse through the document and eventually
obtained a good impression of several directors who were considerably older than her and Brandon. And so, when Ameer
popped up in front of her, she instantly knew who he was.
It just so happened that Kathie had actually hooked up with the man. Ameer was known to be ruthless when he had to, and
given his massive ego, he naturally hated being a stepping stone to someone else’s ambitions.
“I daresay, Mrs. Larson, if it weren’t for your insight and meticulousness, you might indeed suffer tonight.” In Sean’s opinion,
Jhad grown so much from the woman she used to be.
“Oh, stop praising me. The credit is all yours. But didn’t you tell Estella that you were coming to me? She seems to be looking for
you.” Estella was not far away from them. Jcouldn’t help but smile as she watched her scour the crowd.
As if feeling her gaze, Estella turned and met Janet’s eyes. She waved at them, her grin widening. “Sean, cand take some
photos with me.”
“Go on, hurry,” Jnudged Sean. “Don’t keep her waiting.”
“I beg your pardon, Mrs. Larson. I’ve been tasked to protect you. It’s the main reason why I’m at this party in the first place. I
should draw a line between work and private matters.” Sean’s tone was serious as he added, “I’ll explain this to Estella. I’m sure
she would understand.”
Jstopped him right away. After a moment’s consideration, she let out a helpless sigh. “Don’t do that.”
