The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
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.
Janet had chosen this hospital for Laney’s recovery, intending it to be a place of rest and healing. Yet,
Vera, as Laney’s mother -in-law, consistently meddled with her daughter-in-law’s postpartum
recuperation, spurred on by Kailee. Her behavior was truly abominable.
For the first time, Garrett felt a deep sense of shame for being a part of the Harding family.
Inhaling deeply, he asked in a low voice, “Dad doesn’t know you’re here to take the child, does he?”
Vera fell silent. She hadn’t informed Leo before coming to the hospital; it was solely her decision.
Leo, ever mindful of his reputation, would never undertake such a drastic action as seizing the child.
A sneer tugged at Garrett’s lips. “I thought as much. Have you considered how Dad might react if he
learned you’ve caused a scene without his knowledge?”
Defiantly, Vera countered, “Even if he knew, he would support me.”
Garrett’s anger boiled into laughter. “Are you certain Dad knows Kailee egged you on? You distrust
Laney, your daughter-in- law, but rely on an outsider. Can you truly claim to be a responsible matriarch
with your actions?”
Vera, rendered speechless by Garrett’s words, faltered.
At that moment, Ian approached with the photo album Vera had sent and handed it to her. “Mrs.
Harding, before deciding to take the child away,” he suggested, “you might want to examine the final
page of the album.”
With skepticism etched on her face, Vera opened the album.
In an instant, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she quickly closed the album.
She never could have anticipated finding such a scandalous image of her son and Kailee within.
“What… What on earth is that?” Vera stuttered, her words a tangled mess. “I didn’t send anything like
that…”
Garrett, too, felt shame wash over him and averted his gaze, unable to speak.
Ian exhaled and explained, “Kailee planted the photo in the album you sent.”
Seeing the stunned look on Vera’s face, he continued, “She tricked your son, snapping this picture
while he was unconscious. Then, she used you to deliver the album to your daughter-in-law, dealing
her a staggering blow shortly after childbirth.”
Vera’s mind reeled as she absorbed the truth behind the situation.
Only then did she recall how her adverse opinions of Laney had been molded by bailee’s manipulation,
culminating in their strained relationship and the present predicament. As the realization dawned on
her, remorse filled her heart.
Had bailee not interfered, she might have cradled her granddaughter long ago.
“Garrett, what should we do now?” Vera’s desire for the child remained, and she sought guidance from
Garrett. “Laney and her daughter can’t remain estranged from us indefinitely, can they?”
Seeking to assuage Vera’s concerns, Garrett promised, “Don’t fret. As soon as Laney is discharged
from the hospital, we’ll bring the child back home.”
Though Vera harbored doubts about Garrett’s assurance, she acknowledged her error and departed
with her entourage of guards.
As he watched Vera leave, Garrett massaged his temples, his body and mind drained.
Contemplating a visit to Laney and the baby, he spun around, only to find Laney standing behind him,
tears coursing down her cheeks as she gazed at him.
Garrett’s heart tightened, and he struggled to find the right words.
He stammered, “Laney…you…”
