The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Chapter 1173 Vicious Slander

Under the scrutinizing gaze of the gathering, Laney unapologetically shared her past. “I was once a bodyguard. It was only when I was employed by Janet, the lady of the White family, that I accidentally encountered Garrett.” The crowd’s eyes narrowed with scorn, surveying Laney as if she were filth beneath their shoes.

Feigning shock, Kailee inquired, “A bodyguard? Surely, you mean a servant?”

Laughter erupted from the audience, clearly sharing the sentiment.

Yet, Laney remained unperturbed, sitting composed in her chair.

Witnessing Laney’s tranquil demeanor despite the public ridicule, Kailee’s displeasure grew as she continued to mock, “As I recall, Janet was raised by a servant. Fortuitously, she returned to the White family and wed the CEO of the Larson Group. However, her reputation has always been quite dubious. It must have been quite the task to be her bodyguard.”

Laney’s face darkened at the sarcastic remark. Coldly, she glared at Kailee and questioned, “What are you implying?”

“Nothing, just curious,” Kailee nonchalantly replied, sipping her wine. “After all, you’re the only former bodyguard present. I’m simply curious about the role, especially for someone with a tarnished reputation like Janet. Were you assisting her in evading the discovery of her infidelities and eluding the press?”

“Ha-ha.” Chuckles filled the room, with someone snickering, “No wonder Janet needs a bodyguard.”
