The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Chapter 1239 The Harding Family’s Scandals

Johanna had booked a private room in the cafe in advance, so Vera and the other ladies followed her inside.

The thought of the Harding family’s recent scandals, as well as Leo’s warning, ran through Vera’s mind, and she became very uneasy.

Considering how much these women loved to gossip, they were definitely going to ask her for details on the recent scandals and make fun of her whilst at it. This was especially true since they’d all been invited by Johanna.

She had been very rude to Janet earlier, so it was almost guaranteed that Janet and Johanna were going to take the opportunity to humiliate her.

Just as Vera had expected, as soon as the tea and desserts arrived, the wealthy ladies began to gossip as they usually did, chatting away excitedly.

As the conversations progressed, Vera eventually became the topic of discussion.

The Harding family’s recent scandals were the most popular topic in their circle.
