The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
I Will Never Trust You Again
Laney’s emotions were running high as she stared resolutely at Garrett and hoarsely shouted, “My
baby and I will never go back to the Harding family! You’d better give up!”
Garrett tensed up instantly at the sight of Laney’s devastation.
He hurried over to her and tried to comfort her in a soft voice, “Honey, I lied to Mom just now. We can
live in our own house with our child and not go back to the Harding family. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t come any closer!”
Laney clutched her chest, screaming frantically, “I don’t believe you! I can’t trust you anymore. You
want to take my child from me! You’re all trying to take my child from me!”
Her tear-streaked face mirrored her suspicion and wariness toward Garrett. Despair and sadness hung
around her like a palpable fog.
Garrett halted, not daring to approach her again.
This was the first time he had witnessed Laney in such agony. For once, the usually eloquent man
found himself at a loss for words. He knew that no sweet nothings could console her for her pain was
both physical and emotional.
Pressing his lips together, Garrett felt powerless. All he could do was reiterate his previous promise.
“Honey, please believe me, okay? I won’t lie to you. Go back to your room and rest. I’ll handle
everything.”
Laney, gazing at the helplessness in Garrett’s eyes, felt her heart sink.
A wave of pessimism washed over her. Reconciliation with Garrett would mean returning to the Harding
family and a life without freedom.
She couldn’t bear that life any longer!
“Garrett, just go!”
Her voice steadier, Laney knew there was no point in arguing further. “I need some time alone.”
Relieved that Laney seemed to have thought it through, Garrett exhaled deeply.
Just as he was about to escort her back to her room, his phone rang.
Without a second thought, he glanced at Laney. But she didn’t react or even look at him. She simply
retreated to her room and locked the door.
Garrett sighed, picking up the phone.
As soon as he answered it, his assistant’s anxious voice came through the line. “Mr. Harding, the
company is in trouble, and we need you here in person. Please hurry back.”
His brow furrowed, Garrett inquired about the company’s dire circumstances.
Indeed, the situation was critical. But he stood there, hesitating, as he stared at the closed door before
him.
A sinking feeling crept into his chest.
It was as if, the moment he left, Laney would slip away from him.
But the urgency of the crisis left no room for hesitation. Under his assistant’s insistence, Garrett rushed
to the company.
He had to resolve the issues as swiftly as possible.
Meanwhile, Laney returned to her room. Observing her baby, peacefully s*uc*king little fingers and
slumbering in the crib, she made her decision.
She would never return to the Harding family, nor would she hand her child over to any of them!
Laney took out her phone and texted Janet.
At that moment, Janet was reviewing a design draft at home. Catching sight of Laney’s message, her
expression turned grave.
Noticing Janet’s serious demeanor, Brandon asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Who sent the message?”
“It’s from Laney. Take a look.” Janet handed him the phone.
As Brandon read the message, his eyebrow arched, but he wasn’t shocked. “It seems Laney’s had
enough of the Harding family’s harassment and Garrett’s inaction. She can’t take it anymore.”
In the message, Laney pleaded for Janet’s help to escape Barnes, no longer wanting to be shackled by
the Harding family.
“I didn’t expect Laney to be so resolute. When she found out about Garrett and Kailee’s affair the other
day, she wasn’t so decisive about leaving Garrett,” Janet remarked, surprised.
Stroking Janet’s head tenderly, Brandon said matter-of-factly, “Her emotions have reached a boiling
point. One more provocation, and she’ll explode.”
“Is that so?” Janet mused.
Brandon nodded, stating, “Now that it’s come to this, Garrett must bear much of the responsibility.”
