The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1227 Laney Was Heartbroken
Janet was inclined to agree with Brandon.
If Garrett had not been giving way to the Harding family constantly, Laney wouldn’t have been so heartbroken and broken up with Garrett so decisively, given her personality. “Are you going to help her?” Brandon asked gently.
Janet hesitated and replied with uncertainty, “Garrett is your friend. Wouldn’t it be bad for us to help Laney run away with the baby?”
Brandon didn’t answer her. Instead, he asked, “But what about Laney?”
Janet felt even more conflicted.
Laney was her good friend. She couldn’t ignore a good friend in need.
Not to mention, Ian had informed her that Vera had brought some bodyguards to snatch Laney’s baby away. If Garrett and Ian had not been there, Laney could have been hurt. The future seemed bleak for Laney and her baby if things continued the way it was.
Brandon understood what Janet was thinking about. He encouraged her gently, “Janet, just do what you think is right. Don’t worry about Garrett and me. I won’t tell him.”
Knowing that Brandon supported her decision, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was initially worried he would persuade her against breaking up Garrett’s family.
She now felt clear about what she had to do.
“Thank you, Brandon,” Janet said gratefully. She wrapped her arms around Brandon’s neck, k*issing him.
Brandon held the back of her head and returned the k*iss.
After a long time, they finally let go of each other, breathless.
“Brandon, control yourself. I’m almost out of breath! We’re still discussing something important,” Janet said playfully, caressing Brandon’s chest with her fingertips.
“We can talk about it later,” Brandon murmured. He took off his tie excitedly and held Janet in his arms, eagerly wanting to take her to the bed.
“No,” Janet rejected him. She hurriedly gripped Brandon’s hand and added, “I want to settle Laney’s problem first. I’m worried about her!”
Since Janet was adamant, Brandon could only respect her wishes.
He sat on the sofa with his arms around Janet, trying his best to restrain his desires. “Anyway, there’s no need to worry too much. If Garrett and Laney break up, it’s his fault. It has nothing to do with you,” he said casually.
“I understand. But I’m worried that he might approach you for help,” Janet replied with a nod. Brandon chuckled, “He knows he’s in the wrong. He wouldn’t dare to trouble me.”
With Brandon’s assurance, Janet finally made up her mind.
She must help Laney escape from the Harding family.
However, Laney had just given birth. It would be bad for her health if there was no one to take care of her.
As such, Janet decided to call Ian and told him her plans.
“You’re saying that Mrs. Harding wants to leave Barnes?” Ian clarified with Janet again as he was surprised by the sudden decision.
He didn’t expect Laney to be so firm about leaving Garrett.
Janet confirmed and continued to ask, “Will you leave Barnes with her? If it’s inconvenient for you to leave, I’ll get someone else to assist her.” Ian smiled and happily agreed, “There’s no need. I’m willing to go to another city with Mrs. Harding.”
Janet never thought that Ian would agree so readily. She asked in surprise, “Do you know which city Laney is going to? It’s far less prosperous than Barnes. “
“I’m not really concerned about the environment. It’s my job to take care of Mrs. Harding. So, I’ll help her in any way I can,” Ian replied in a low voice.
Janet felt relieved by his words. Ian was a very capable assistant. He would definitely take good care of Laney and her baby.
She sorted out her thoughts and related her plans to Ian.
