GoodReadThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 501: A Gnawing StomachacheIt was not until Janet was heading to work the next day that she accidentally saw on the news that the coach from the club had
been in a car accident and had turned into a vegetable. She immediately gave Ethan a call. Since she came here to Barnes, bad
things kept on happening around her one after another.
“Why in the world did she suddenly become a vegetable? She was perfectly fine a few days ago when I last saw her. Ethan,
should I head to church and pray for better luck?” “What on earth are you talking about? Stop being superstitious, honey.” Ethan
playfully teased her.
Sometimes humans were more terrible than ghosts. In Ethan’s eyes, someone made this happen. Perhaps he had been onto
something and whoever had been behind wanted to get rid of all evidence by turning the coach into a vegetable. Now that the
coach was in a coma, she couldn’t tell anyone anything right now. There was no way Ethan could find out anything else now that
the clue was cut off here.
“Unexpected things do happen all the time, which is why people turn to superstition,” Janet went on to argue. Ethan couldn’t
refute what she said. He suddenly burst out laughing and said, “Well, I know that I can give you some comfort in bed tonight. You
know, just to make you relax some more.”
“What a silly girl,” said Ethan in a rather doting tone.

Covering her face with her hands, Janet headed back to her desk. She had been in the hospital for days now and was already
behind work. After she went back to work, the Milan Fashion Week was on everyone’s lips. Small-time designers like Janet
weren’t qualified to participate in Milan Fashion Week normally. Among the four major fashion shows, the Milan Fashion Week
had the shortest history but happened to be the most renowned one.
In addition, the most famous icons, media, and models in the fashion industry would actually make an appearance here at the
Milan Fashion Week. It was an international event and one of the most important events in the entire industry. Milan Fashion
Week had always led the fashion and design industry and people looked at it to gauge the next wave of fashion trends.
Therefore, every designer in the world craved to participate in it.
Seeing that everyone was talking about it while Janet listened quietly, Rosa said to her in an excited voice, “You were in the
hospital. I guess you don’t know about it yet. Mr. Wesley was invited to Milan Fashion Week and he’s going to take an assistant
with him to accompany him at the show!”
Janet thought that since she hadn’t been here for a long time, it couldn’t be her. With a smile on her face, she said to Rosa,
“That will be either you or Elizabeth. That’s really great!”
After mulling it in her head for a few seconds, Janet agreed.
“That’s true.” Just when the whole studio had accepted the fact that Rosa or Elizabeth would most likely be chosen to go to the
Milan Fashion Week with Draco, Draco made his way out of his office.
“Have the two of you finished your design drafts? Rosa? Elizabeth? And Janet, please finish your assignments by today.” Janet
was shocked to hear that. How could she finish it all today?
“Mr. Wesley, I thought you were giving us more time. The client said that he’ll need it by next week.” Turning back to look at her,
Draco asked, “Do you think you’ll have the time to finish it in Milan?”
“I’m going to Milan with you?” Janet was shocked and asked in a very loud voice.
“Sir, are you joking around with me?” Speechless, Draco glanced over at her and headed straight into his office. He didn’t like to
repeat himself.
After a good while, Janet regained her senses and was concerned that Rosa and Elizabeth might think it unfair that Draco was
taking her instead of either one of them. She snuck a glance at Elizabeth who didn’t appear any different. She was still as
indifferent toward everything like how she usually was. However, Rosa congratulated her joyously. She blinked her eyes with a
smile on her face and said, “Janet, I’m so very happy for you! Can you finish your work by today? Tell me if you need any
assistance!”
Draco booked their plane tickets and they would set off two days later. Early that morning, Janet arrived at the studio with her
luggage. But before they could set out, she suddenly felt a sharp stomachache and ran into the bathroom. At first, she thought it
was something she ate. However, when she came out of the bathroom, her stomachache worsened. She felt as if there was a
grinder gnawing away at her stomach.
