The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Laney was extremely disappointed by the sight of Garrett attacking lan.

She never would’ve imagined that despite everything they had been through, Garrett would remain so self-centered and immature, displaying no signs of improvement in his character. Garrett walked stiffly towards Laney, attempting to reach for her hand. “Please, Laney, listen to me. I’m not…”

“Stop talking to me!”

Laney backed away from Garrett and looked at him with a cold, cautious stare, as though he were a stranger. “There’s nothing left for us to discuss. Please return to where you came from.” Laney’s harsh and impassive words pierced deeply through Garrett’s heart. In a burst of intense emotion, he exclaimed, “Can’t you see that he was pretending? He’s always had malicious intentions hidden deep down, and even sent me fake divorce papers. He made it seem like I was attacking him! He’s trying to drive a wedge between us!” “I don’t care who sent the fake papers.” Laney spoke in a cold tone. “I only believe what I see. If you ever lay a finger on my family again, Garrett, I’ll sign the real divorce papers and mail them to you.”

Laney stared at Garrett intently, then helped lan get back on his feet. In a monotone voice, she remarked, “Enough. To be honest, there wasn’t that much trust left between us.”

With those words lingering in the air, she left with lan and her child without taking a single look back.
