    The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire


    Chapter 949 Enemies


    Sean didn’t know the woman in front of him.


    He just had the impression that she was young, careless, and quite naive. However, the experienced


    hunter always preferred to act like a prey. Perhaps this woman was just acting stupid. He needed to be


    more cautious. “What are you thinking about? Why are you distracted?” Este was confused. Why did


    Brandon’s personal assistant appear so clueless?


    “I’m sorry. I cannot answer any of your questions. Please leave,” Sean said in a cold tone and turned


    around to leave.


    Este, on the other hand, was heartless and shameless. She ran after Sean, and when she caught up


    with him, she pulled a few bills from her bag. “I know what you mean,” she said as she put the money


    in Sean’s suit’s pocket. “I just want to ask you a few questions.”


    Sean took the money out of his pocket and discovered it was only two dors.


    Sean was shocked. Did she think that he was asking for money in exchange for a favor?


    He handed back the money to Este. “Miss, something big has happened in the Larson Group. No


    one is allowed toe in now,” he said firmly. If you’re notplying with my request, I’ll have to ask


    the security guards to kick you out.”


    Este snorted as she held the bills in her hand. She didn’t expect Sean to be this stubborn. “But I am


    not an outsider. I am J’s friend,” she said emphatically.


    “Why don’t you go to Brandon’s office and confirm this with J.”


    Sean coughed awkwardly. “I can’t do that now,” he said, thinking Brandon and J might be doing


    something intimate.


    Este looked at him, and then said, “I’ll go in by myself.” “Look, it’s not convenient for Mr. and Mrs.


    Larson to see you right now,” Sean told Est, who seemed confused by his vague admonishing. He


    had to stop her or he would be chastised for not doing so.


    “You’re so ridiculous,” Este said in an exasperated tone. She couldn’t think of a reason why Sean


    was being obtuse. “Can’t I go in by myself? It looks like you’re just making things difficult for me.”


    Sean felt helpless. How could someone be so dim? “Okay, you can go see them but you’ll have to wait


    in the hall for a moment,” he let out a sigh and continued. “Since you seem not to understand me, I


    won’t say anything more.”


    “I’m going in,” Este said, putting her foot down.


    While they were fighting and pulling at each other, Sean identally touched Este’s wounded arm.


    The white gauze on her wound began to stain with bright red blood. “Oh my God, it hurts!” eximed


    Este as she lowered herself to a squatting position. “How can you be so brazen? Just because you


    can’t stop me, you don’t have to sneakily hurt me.”


    Sean looked at the wound on her arm and seemed to remember something.


    “Are you Este?” he asked. “Were you the one injured for saving Mrs. Larson?” He thought of the


    woman who cried out in pain in the infirmary earlier.


    “You finally remember it,” Este eximed. She had expected her heroic action and stunning face to


    impress others.


    “I’m so sorry,” Sean said, his voice filled with remorse. He helped Est get up. “You must be good


    friends if you fought for Mrs. Larson the way you did.”


    “I’ve told you that we are good friends,” Este sobbed as she wiped away her tears. “But you wouldn’t


    believe me.”


    “Everything was chaotic and I couldn’t tell who was there,” Sean apologized. He didn’t know what to do


    when he saw Este’s tearful face, so he took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.


    Este hesitated at first. Nheless, she took the tissue and began wiping the tears from her eyes.


    At this point, the security guard at the door rushed up to Est. “Miss Lopez, you left so quickly. Is this


    yourptop? You must have forgotten it when your wound was being treated in the infirmary.”


    Este thanked the security guard and took theptop.


    Este was attempting to save J, as evidenced by the security guard’s words. Sean felt even more


    distressed. “Please ept my apologies; I’ll take you downstairs to change the gauze.”


    Este simply wanted to ask about Brandon. She thought there might be a chance when she saw


    Sean’s guilty expression.


    In reality, Este’s wound was not hurting too badly. She was just pretending it did so that Sean would


    make her stay.


    “It’s okay,” Este said, smiling and waving her hand. “I can take it. And now, I’m so hungry. Why don’t


    you invite me to dinner?” This would be her chance to get more information from him.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    But Sean saw through her little ruse.


    “I have other matters to deal with,” Sean declined her invitation. “Maybe I can call someone else to go


    with you.” “Forget it. I’d better ask J to apany me. I don’t know who will get hurt this time if


    Brandon gets angry.” Este sighed and picked up her phone to call J.
