The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Laney had been staying in Garrett’s house for a week now.When she had nothing else to do, she would exercise, do chores, or busy herself in the garden.The rest of her time was spent watching the men lurking outside.

Standing in front of the window of the study and looking out, Garrett happened to see Laney hiding behind a tree in the garden with a dagger in her hand, looking extra vigilant.

Seeing this, he was in a trance for a moment and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Mr.Harding, can you hear me?" The person on the phone called out his name twice before Garrett finally centered himself.

"Ahem, sorry.Could you please repeat that? The signal here is spotty."

As he spoke, Garrett returned to his seat and put on his glasses.

"We’ll put everything regarding Laney to rest now.We didn’t know that she’s your girlfriend.But Mr.Harding, would it be too much to ask for more shares in the cooperation, if ever?"

The man on the other end of the line was the head of the Burke family.It was never really that important for the Burke family to take revenge on Laney anyway, especially so when someone as Garrett Harding was trying to intervene.

"Of course.Thank you for doing this for me, Mr.Burke." Garrett smiled.
