The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Janet’s revelation about the exorbitant price of the clothes left Carly’s grandmother stunned. She stared at her clothes in shock and immediately thought of taking them off.

“Too… too expensive…” She gestured at the clothes in panic.

Carly frowned, sending Janet a displeased stare. “Miss White, have you forgotten our deal? Why did you reveal the real cost of the clothing?” Janet looked at her seriously. “Because I didn’t want your efforts to be looked over simply because of the expense,” she said with a serious tone.

Carly and her grandmother were both stunned. With a small smile, Janet explained to the old woman, “The overall cost of the clothes is expensive due to my design commission.

Carly’s grandmother was already about to take off the clothes. However, she hesitated upon Janet’s words.

Reminiscing about the past made Janet a bit sentimental. She was touched while watching the two. “I also have someone in my family who’s the same age as you. Her name is Hannah. She’s a kind woman and was always sacrificing for my sake. She would rather use her money for me rather than spend it on herself. However, her action made me feel uneasy.”

“Why did it make you feel uncomfortable?” Carly’s grandmother looked a bit confused. “Because now that I have the ability to provide, I want the people I love to have a better life. I want to return her favor and show my love the way she did. [hope she can accept my gratitude.” Janet had a solemn look on her face. Sincerity was obvious with every word she said.
