The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Chapter 1225 Vera Regretted

Garrett noticed Vera’s nervous expression and knew that Kailee must be up to something behind the scenes.

Rubbing his temples, he said wearily, “The decision to change the hospital was mine alone. It had nothing to do with anyone else.”

“Regardless, I must take the child away today,” Vera persisted.

A tinge of anger colored Garrett’s voice. “This hospital is owned by the Larson Group. Do you wish to humiliate the Harding family in another family’s turf?”

“What’s wrong with taking my own granddaughter away?” Vera’s voice rose, her typically poised and dignified bearing vanishing. “Get out of my way!”

Witnessing the unfolding scene, Garrett felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.
