The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

“Janet, you’re too considerate,” Beal said with a sigh. He and Johanna were happy to see that Janet had grown up to be such a sensible young woman.

After all, they didn’t want to abandon Lila. She might’ve been a little arrogant and domineering, but she was still

their daughter, albeit not biologically.

But Johanna was partial to Janet. She looked at her husband firmly and said, “We need to tell Lila the truth when we get back: that she’s not our biological daughter, and that Janet is. Then, we can make an announcement to the public. We have to bring Janet back as the daughter of the Whites.”

Johanna held her daughter’s hands and looked at her face intently. Janet looked so much like her when she was younger. “If I don’t do this, it will be too unfair to you. You’ve suffered enough.”

Beal supported Johanna’s decision, but he was a bit hesitant. “Lila’s a spoiled child. She has never experienced any setbacks in her life. If we tell her the truth now, I’m afraid it will be a big blow to her.”

Johanna sneered icily. “Do we have to make Janet suffer because of her inability to cope? We’re not abandoning Lila. She is still our daughter and we will still treat her the same way. Anyway, somebody’s going to be unhappy either way. And I’d rather it be Lila than Janet. We owe Janet too much. It’s her turn to be spoiled.”
