President's Substitute Wife

I didn’t speak. Michelle couldn’t help saying, “Dad, why do you thank her? Don’t you know her? She’s with Ming for money. Now Ming is rich. Are you afraid of her escaping? She’ll be nice to Ming until she dies. After all, no one will leave a cash cow.”

Michelle and Monica hated me from the beginning.

After all, they knew all those things and thought I was not a good woman.

Now Ming had announced his property and they thought I wanted money.

Monica also said, “this woman is not simple. I think Ming was cheated by her.”

“Enough!” James was angry and stared at the two women. “If you are not here to bless them, you can not come. Now take back your dirty thoughts!”

“Dad! I’m your daughter and she’s an outsider!” Michelle, a powerful woman, refused to bow her head.

Monica was pulled by Simon and shut up.

James was very unhappy. “Since you are my daughter, you should see the essence through the phenomenon!”

“What? Her?” Michelle gave me an angry look.

Sean sat there and listened to Michelle and Monica. His face was getting worse and worse.

He suddenly stood up. When he wanted to talk, Ming beside me said, “if any of you don’t like my wife, you can leave now. If you make trouble here and speak rudely to my wife, I will naturally let him pay the price. Don’t blame me for being merciless then.”

Ming spoke slowly, but he was firm!

Michelle opened her mouth and said, “she’s just a fiancee.” Then she sat down.

Sean stood there and looked at Ming. His eyes were cold and hostile.

And then little Lester suddenly reached for Ming’s hand and naively said, “Dad, are you angry?”

This was the first time Lester called dad in front of the crowd.

Ming’s sharp look suddenly became gentle.

He leaned over slightly and patted Lester’s face. “No, dad is not angry. Dad just doesn’t want Mom to be bullied.”

“OK!” Lester’s eyes were round. “Dad is so nice.”

James heard Lester and laughed.
