The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

As Garrett listened to Laney carefully, his eyes grew sharp. He stared at Laney for a long time and then sighed, “You are really a troublemaker, aren’t you?”

Laney had just moved to Barnes—a place where the Burke family held a lot of power. Because they failed to take revenge on Laney today, they were definitely bound to try again.

Laney stretched her arms and sat leisurely in the back seat of the sports car. She closed her eyes and said indifferently, “I’m used to it. It’s normal in this industry. While I make money protecting others, my life will always be at stake.”
