President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 201

I looked at Sean in a daze and didn’t know what he was thinking.

Sean dragged me onto the car violently, then lit a cigarette in the car, took a sip, and said, “I rarely see you cry, but I see you cry for Daniell. If Ming dies one day, I guess you will cry for him, but if I die, I’m afraid you will just say ‘oh’ with no expression.”

His words made me a sort of shocked.

I never seemed to have thought about it.

If Sean died one day.

I never seemed to have thought about that question.

The car started slowly and then drove quickly to the neighborhood. I glanced at the name of the neighborhood which called The Best Home.

This neighborhood was very much in line with its name. Each house inside was completely independent, with a front yard and back yard, and two parking spaces. In the center of the city, such neighborhoods were rare.

Sean opened the door for me and then opened all four windows of the car.

He took my hand and apologized, “Sorry, I was just a little impulsive. I know I have done many things that hurt you before, and I always know that. I thought you just refused treatment because you didn’t want to stay with me for a year, so I ...”

“I know.” On this occasion, I asked Sean, “Can you tell me if Daniell’s death has anything to do with you?”

“What?”

Sean was stunned by my question.

With a slight frown, he asked, “How do you think his death related to me?”

“Because I have heard a recording...”

I told Sean about the recording which Molly gave me when she kidnapped me.

It wasn’t that I was stupid, but I was alone, and I didn’t have any investigative skills except to ask Sean.

“If I said it had nothing to do with me, would you believe it?” Sean looked at me. His black eyes flickered slightly, as if he was expecting something.

I kept silent for a moment and answered, “Yes.”

On hearing that, I could feel the man relaxed slightly. He nodded slightly. “Leave it to me. If his death was not an accident, I’ll find it for you.”

The man said that, and led me into the room.

As soon as I entered the house, I found it was not as big and empty as the house in York No.1.

On the contrary, the room in this house was not large, and the decoration was made of fabric. There were some puppets and green plants in each corner.

It was very sweet.

Sean pulled me into the middle of the room and looked at me with his hopeful eyes. “Do you like it?”

It was autumn outside, but everything in the room was exceptionally warm.

I nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Sean patted me on the head. “I owe you, so I will compensate you. As for the injury on your face, please consider it carefully.”

“well, okay.”

I know Sean really cares me.

That night, we slept in a room when Sean held me. I didn’t know why I felt unexpectedly relieved.

Sean went to work during the day, and I was at home alone. The servants were all hourly workers at my request.

I had nothing to do. In addition to looking at some online decoration examples, I was very bored most of the time.

On the fifth day, I finally decided to step out and bought some fruit in the supermarket.

When I went out with my mask, bought some fruit and checked out, I heard someone calling me in the back, “June?”

I turned around and saw Inez Fanning and Marlin Carter standing behind me!

I could not help but think of Molly who had gone abroad when I saw them.

When Inez Fanning saw me, his eyes turned red. He didn’t feel sad, but angry.

She walked quickly to me and tried to get my mask. I quickly stepped back and held my mask.

Then I wanted to leave here.

Inez fanning grabbed me. “June, you know that you have no face to see me, right? If your grandma can see you in heaven, she will definitely be mad at you again!”

“What? What did I do?” Inez fanning’s words stopped me from leaving, and I turned and looked at her and asked, “What have I done? I paid for the house when grandma was sick! I have never done anything wrong to the Carter family!”

If I did something wrong, it was that I regret agreeing to transfer to that hospital!

If it weren’t for the medical materials at that hospital, my grandma wouldn’t have died so soon.

Then Marlin Carter came up and looked at me. “June, are you doing well now? All you wear are brand-name. Are you happy with the money of the Carter Group?”

What I wore, it was all Sean’s. Of course those were all good.

“The money of the Carter Group? The Carter Group was broke. If you say the money from selling the house, I didn’t use that money at all.”

I was going to buy that house back, and it was not possible for me to use that money.

“Don’t pretend to be stupid!” Inez Fanning whispered to me like this, “You were pretended to be too innocent before we were fooled by you. If we didn’t find that 51% of the Carter Group’s stock is yours, we are still blinded by you!”

“What?”

The words made me stunned.

“Don’t pretend to be innocent! Can you not know about this?” Inez Fanning rushed over, grabbing my mask when I wasn’t paying attention, and cursing, “You bring a mask to pretend to be a star?”

She said, and when she saw my face, she froze.

I didn’t have time to cover my face, and the whole face was seen by the people around me!

“Give me the mask!” I panicked.

Inez fanning froze for a moment and suddenly began laughing hysterically. “Ha ha ha! June, did you do too many bad things and now you have retribution?”

Marlin Carter was also very happy, “June, you have your retribution.”

The people around me looked at me and talked about me.

Ugly monster!

The words of the child that day came back to me..

“No, I am not a ugly monster!” Nobody said anything about me, but I seemed to hear that!

As I mumbled, I covered my face with my arms and burst out of the crowd!

I couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying.

When I got home, my head was in a muddle.

It took me a long time to think back what Inez Fanning said that I owned 51% of the Carter Group!

If I had to guess who did this, I could only think of one person.

I was going to ask Sean when he came back.

But the man called and told me he was going on a business trip and would not be back for two days.

I thought I was going to be home for two days, but an hour later, the man showed up at home and said, “Pack up and go on a business trip with me to the Carson City.”

“Me?” I shook my head quickly. “No. I would be waiting for you at home, and I promise that I will be home when you return.”

What happened in the afternoon and the contempt of others made me fear again.

I wished I were alone in this house and I did not want to go anywhere.
