The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 394

Ritchie, who just came home from Lester Silk Fabric, sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed.

It could be seen on his face that Ritchie was in a bad mood as he smoked his cigarette. Suddenly, he spat and cursed, “Damn it! Apparently, a chopper from the fucking Larson Group rescued Ethan from the fire. That son of a bitch is still alive!”

Elissa was playing bridge with several ladies in the living room when her son arrived. She was infuriated by Ritchie’s impoliteness, but she pretended to be calm and said to her friends, “My son is here. Let’s play next time.”

As much as the rich ladies wanted to complain, they couldn’t. Elissa was the hostess of the Lester family and this was her house, so they had no choice but to obey her and leave.

Once all her friends were gone, Elissa stood up and walked up to Ritchie.

Sometimes she couldn’t help but wonder what he had learned during his years abroad. It cost her an arm and leg to send him abroad to study. But when he came back, she hadn’t seen any improvement at all. Instead, he kept swearing every day just like those uneducated hooligans.

“How many times do I have to remind you to be polite? This is Seacisco. Everyone here knows you. You are Ritchie Lester! Don’t be so arrogant.” Elissa reprimanded Ritchie for his lack of manners.

But aside from her son’s bad habits, he was perfect in her eyes. After all, he was so much like her, from body to mind.

“I’ve asked my people to find out about what happened. It was just a coincidence. Larson Group has also publicly announced that their helicopter was just passing by at that time. When they saw someone was trapped in the fire, they saved the man, who happened to be Ethan in this case.”

“Is that guy really so lucky?” There was a trace of doubt in Ritchie’s voice.

With a sneer, Elissa replied, “We both know that’s just bullshit. I believe either Janet or Ethan is close with Brandon. They must be so close that the Larson Group sent a helicopter to rescue him.”

“What? I don’t think so. How could Brandon have something to do with those two worthless people? Even when I was abroad, I still pay attention to what was happening in Seacisco. I know that Brandon is a promising rich man.” Ritchie didn’t believe that Brandon could be related to Ethan and Janet at all.

“Those are just some rumors and gossips made for the like of you. Maybe it’s just the marketing method of the Larson Group. You know, keeping their boss mysterious to keep the public interested,” Elissa pointed out. Rumors never deceived Elissa. She only believed what she had seen with her own eyes.

After months of preparing, it was a shame she couldn’t get Ethan this time. Fortunately, she didn’t leave any evidence that could point to her. And even if there was evidence, no one could easily catch Elissa Lester. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

In the middle of their conversation, Elissa’s phone rang.

“Madam, it’s from Mr. Lester.” The servant handed the phone to Elissa.

“Are you coming home for dinner, Patrick?” A smile formed on Elissa’s lips.

“No, I’m going to have dinner with the directors tonight. By the way, prepare something that I could bring when I visit Ethan in the hospital tomorrow,” Patrick said in a serious tone, seemingly uninterested with having dinner at home.

Hearing Ethan’s name, Elissa was stunned.

It was the first time that she heard from Patrick that he wanted to see Ethan. Perhaps he had also realized that Ethan had a deep relationship with Brandon and he could use it to their advantage.

“Alright, I’ll prepare everything. I heard that Ethan was seriously injured this time. I’m also thinking about visiting him. I’m just not sure if it’s a good idea.” Although Elissa said so, there was no hint of worry on her face at all.

While listening to the two, Ritchie thought that this might be a good opportunity for them to finish Ethan. So after the call, he said to Elissa, “Shall we plot another plan, Mom? I don’t believe that Ethan can always be lucky!”

“Of course, we have to kill Ethan no matter what.” Determination mixed with cruelty flashed through Elissa’s eyes.
