The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1241 How To Dealt With Kailee
Janet had anticipated that Vera would come looking for her, and she knew that Vera was troubled by the gossip spreading in their social circle.
She had told about all of this to Johanna, hoping that she could help come up with a solution, which would not only dissuade Vera from bothering Laney but also quash the gossip about the Harding family.
As a result, Johanna did figure out how to do that.
While Janet brought Vera to the cafe, she organized a tea party to scotch the gossip for Vera.
Fortunately, the result turned out to be just as good as she had expected.
Those ladies believed Johanna’s words without a doubt. They stopped ridiculing and judging Vera for mistreating her daughter-in-law.
However, Janet was very curious about how Johanna came up with such a plan.
Johanna smiled and patted her daughter’s hand, looking resourceful and elegant.
“I’ve been in Barnes for so long that I have come to understand a bit about the personalities of these ladies. Take Vera, for example. She cares greatly about her reputation and that’s why she was eager to bring Laney back to scotch the rumors. Now that everyone believes that Vera was wronged by those baseless rumors. She certainly won’t cause trouble for Laney anymore,” explained Johanna.
Janet nodded thoughtfully, impressed with her mother’s insight.
It was no wonder that Johanna was a socialite everyone in Barnes praised. She effortlessly resolved the scandal and left no trace of negligence.
Janet held her mother’s arm and said sweetly, “Thank goodness, I have you, Mom! Or I wouldn’t have known how to solve this problem by myself.”
Johanna affectionately rubbed Janet’s nose and said lovingly, “I want everyone to know that you have your family’s full support, regardless of what you do.”
Janet was deeply moved, but she was also a bit puzzled. “Mom, do you think that what I did to help Laney was wrong?” she asked.
Johanna’s expression turned serious as she said, “You did make one mistake.”
Feeling down, Janet lowered her head and asked, “Do you really think that I did something wrong?”
Johanna took Janet’s hand in hers and said seriously, “Your mistake was letting Kailee go easily. If you had dealt with her sooner, Laney wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
Janet also regretted not dealing with Kailee sooner. “You’re right. I shouldn’t have let her off the hook so easily.”
If she had made Kailee pay for plotting against Laney and rendering Laney in a plight, none of the subsequent events could have happened.
Johanna’s expression turned slightly cold. “Although Laney has moved to another city now, and Garrett is no longer involved with Kailee, she still hasn’t paid for what she’s done. Besides, it’s obvious that she is the one who instigated Vera to come and bother you today.”
Janet nodded and exclaimed, “Mom, you are incredibly insightful. But I just don’t know how I can help Laney, or how I can make Kailee get she deserves!”
Janet did not know how to deal with Kailee, which had been troubling her lately. She couldn’t bear the thought of Laney suffering while Kailee lived a comfortable life in Barnes.
Garrett had been completely absorbed in his work ever since Laney had left, and he had forgotten all about Kailee.
A cold light flashed in Johanna’s eyes as she said, “You don’t need to worry about this matter. Just leave it to me.”
Since Kailee had the nerve to mess with her daughter, she would definitely make her pay!
