The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Lila could hear Johanna’s voice clearly.

Even though her relationship with Johanna wasn’t as good as before, she never expected that Johanna wouldn’t say such things about her in front of Janet.

It was true that Lila thought David wasn’t good enough for her. The man Johanna chose was not a good suitor. If this was in the past, Lila would never even bother wasting her time on such a person.

“More often than I like, Lila makes grandiose aims but has puny abilities to back her up.” Johanna let out a melancholy sigh in the room. “You know what she’s like. I’m really concerned that she will end up being bullied by her husband’s family after she gets married. Your father and I have brought her up very carefully. At the same time, we don’t want her to suffer.”

Janet’s gentle voice could be heard at that moment. “None of this matters. People are really open-minded now. Even if a woman doesn’t get married, it’s no big deal. Maybe she already has someone she likes. Why don’t you give her the freedom to let her choose who she wants to marry?”

Johanna was still feeling worried. “No, I should keep an eye out on the young men in the White Group. Maybe I can find a diamond in the rough there. At this time, I’ll try to persuade Lila again.”

Lila’s heart sank in her chest. She bit her bottom lip and appeared very sad.

According to what Johanna said, even if Lila turned down David Gray, Johanna didn’t intend to find her a husband of higher social rank. What hurt Lila the most was that Johanna implied she didn’t deserve a wealthy husband.

It was not that Lila didn’t want to get married, but the man selected by Johanna happened to be too shabby. If she really married this kind of person, the other rich girls would all take turns laughing at her.
