The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1050 I Won’t Disturb You Anymore
“Derek, stop it!” Janet said as she tried to match Derek’s pace. “My husband is still recovering. Don’t disturb him.” Derek was
behaving like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. “Really? Why can’t I visit him? Why is the CEO of Larson Group so narrow-
minded?”
When he saw that Janet looked like she was going to lose her temper, Derek hurriedly added, “Please, don’t get mad. That was
a joke. I just came to express my gratitude to Brandon for saving my life. I even brought my girlfriend with me. I’m definitely not
going to pester you like I did before.”
Janet finally noticed a tall, beautiful woman with curly hair standing behind him as he spoke. She was slender and stunning, with
a height and a disposition that complimented Derek’s.
Before Janet could utter a word, the curly-haired woman hit Derek while protesting, “I don’t recall agreeing to be your girlfriend
yet! Don’t just go telling people that I’m already your girlfriend!”
“Gilda, please! We are in public!” Derek complained. “Stop embarrassing me!”
Ignoring Derek, Gilda Greville smiled at Janet and said, “We are still getting to know each other. However, we aren’t really dating
yet. Please, Mrs. Larson. Don’t believe him.”
“How do you know who I am?” Janet was caught off guard. Did Derek tell Gilda about her and how he had been trying to woo her
in the past?
Gilda smiled and said, “I’m in the same line of work as Derek... I’m a model. I also watched the Iridescent Show and the
wonderful W Marks Studio collections.”
Oh, right. Gilda was a model. She’d probably heard the rumors about Derek then. Or hadn’t she?
Janet wasn’t one to interfere in other people’s affairs. She just grieved at the thought of this beautiful woman getting involved
with such a notorious playboy.
“If that will be all, I will be on my way to bring my husband his dinner.” It was getting late. Janet didn’t have much time to spare
talking to them. However, Derek stopped her from entering the ward.
“I have something important to say to Brandon,” Derek said as he pulled Janet back, holding on firmly to her wrist.
Derek wasn’t here to disturb Janet. He just wanted to talk to Brandon. This would have been a walk in the park if there weren’t
b*odyguards on both sides of the door to his ward.
“Stop bothering me. Or you’d end up in the tabloids and gossip blogs tomorrow,” Janet cautioned in a low voice. 2
Derek was a public figure who was very popular on the Internet. He was already attracting the attention of the young nurses and
the patients.
However, he didn’t care. “Actually, wouldn’t Brandon be angry if we became the subject of paparazzi speculation and started
rumors? I think he will. So, will you let me in or not?”
Janet was shocked at his brazenness. As a crowd began to gather around them, she felt defeated.
Derek noticed the crowd and reasoned with Janet. “If you let me in, I won’t bother you any longer.”
Janet gave in. “Fine. I will go talk to Brandon first. If he agrees to see you, you may come in. However, if he doesn’t, you’ll be
escorted out of the hospital.”
She proceeded to go in first and ask Brandon if he wanted to see Derek.
Brandon’s door was half open. His voice then came from within. “Who is the cause of all that disturbance outside?” He had been
reading the documents Sean had sent over to him when he heard commotion outside his room. Janet cleared her throat and
then walked in.
“Brandon, Derek is outside. He says he wants to thank you for saving him the other day,” she said gently.
Brandon ignored what he heard, continuing with his paperwork until Janet added that Derek promised to stop pestering Janet as
long as Brandon agreed to see him. “How immature of him to use that as leverage! If Derek pesters you again, ask the Larson
Group b*odyguards to deal with him,” Brandon said dismissively.
Janet thought by saying that, Brandon was going to refuse to meet Derek. However, he then said, “Tell him to come in. He will
keep bothering the other patients if we don’t let him in.”
