The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 476

In the Lester family’s home in Seacisco. Elissa had just smoked two packs of cigarettes and the whole room was filled with smoke. When Ritchie walked into the room, he felt choked by all that smoke. 

“Mom, it’s dinner time.” He lifted his hand and fanned the smoke away from his face. After that, he could make out that Elissa was sitting on the edge of the bed, smoking yet another cigarette.

“What does the news say? What’s your father’s attitude like?” Elissa’s fingers shook and her face was in the shadows, so there was no way to see the expression on her face.

Ritchie scratched the back of his head and then said, “Several families of those hurt have taken banners to protest under our office building. Dad is still at the company currently. It’s most likely that he has snapped because of this.”

 After hearing that, Elissa’s hand suddenly trembled and the ash tumbled to the floor.

“Did he say anything at all?” 

All of a sudden, she opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Ritchie in panic. Ritchie’s face darkened visibly. He lowered the volume of his voice and asked, “Mom, were you behind this?” 

 “Why isn’t your father back yet?” Ritchie followed her downstairs and answered, “Dad should still be at the company. This matter has kept him busy for the past few days.”

During the entire dinner, Elissa was feeling listless. Just as she was feeling tortured by news updates, the sound of a car engine came from outside. A few minutes later, Patrick walked in with his suit jacket in his hands, looking clearly exhausted. Elissa made her way up to him uneasily and wanted to take the suit jacket from him.

 “Patrick, why are you back so late?” Patrick angrily glanced at Elissa and suddenly it looked like he had snapped. He threw the suit jacket at her face and said, “Bitch! Were you the one who sent people to kill Ethan?”
