The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1180 Her New Assistant Is A Man
The man’s deep voice rendered Laney dazed for a while. She didn’t expect that there’d be such a handsome male nurse in the
hospital.
Before Laney could even react, the man took out his ID card and handed it to her. “I’m the personal assistant that Mrs. Larson
has hired for you. My name’s Ian. Just let me know if you need anything and I’ll do my best to attend to your needs.”
Laney was even more astonished. The personal assistant Janet had hired for her was a man? Was she serious?
“Let me have a look.” Laney took the ID card from him, and was about to check it over carefully when footsteps were heard
coming from the door.
She raised her head and saw Lola walk in with several bags in her hands. It seemed like she’d had some good fortune on her
way there, as she wore a bright smile on her face.
Despite Laney’s good temper, Lola’s irresponsibility annoyed her. In a stern tone, she asked, “Where have you been, Lola?”
Still completely immersed in her euphoria, Lola failed to notice anything different about Laney’s demeanor. She simply shook the
bags in her hand gleefully and said, “I just went to get the gifts. These are the ones that Miss Kailee Gibson asked me to give to
you. She said she wanted to offer you an apology.”
As soon as Laney heard Kailee’s name, she remembered the malicious intent that Kailee had clearly shown towards her at the
reunion. She frowned and said, “I don’t want them. Return them to her immediately.”
When Lola heard this, however, her facial expression quickly transformed into one of anger. She placed the gifts on the ground
and said, “Miss. Gibson got you these gift out of kindness. Don’t be so stubborn, Mrs. Harding. All these nutritious tonics are
going to be good for the baby anyway. Even if you don’t want to eat any of it, don’t you think you should consider the developing
child in your womb?”
With restrained anger, Laney retorted, “Are you her assistant or mine? Just return them to her. I can buy tonics myself!”
Despite this, Lola remained unconvinced and wanted to talk back. Just then, Ian had finished checking the gifts. He immediately
stood up with a frown. “These foods don’t provide any real benefits to pregnant women. Some of the ingredients may even cause

Mrs. Harding to have an allergic reaction, so they are not suitable for her consumption.”
As Laney’s personal assistant, Lola didn’t check the food nor even know that Laney was allergic to the ingredients.
Being so incompetent, how did she manage to get the job as an assistant? Ian was befuddled. Lola’s face darkened. She glared
at Ian and asked, “Who are you? Why do you say that it’s not good for her health? And how do you know that they contain any
allergenic ingredients?”
Ian smiled and said unapologetically, “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m the personal assistant that Miss Janet Lind hired for Mrs.
Harding. I’ll be in charge of her day-to-day affairs from now on.”
When Lola heard that Ian was also Laney’s personal assistant, she felt like she had been slighted.
She became so infuriated that her face almost turned red. She turned around and spoke to Laney in a very direct tone. “Mrs.
Harding, Mr. Leo Harding has already arranged for me to be your personal assistant. Why did you hire another one without his
permission? Do you still hold him in high esteem? Do you hold the entire Harding family in high esteem?”
Although Lola had put up a bad attitude earlier, she still showed respect to Laney outwardly. But now she’d be bold enough to
throw a series of questions at Laney, which made Laney get very angry, despite her good temper. Just when Laney was about to
refute Lola’s allegations, Ian stepped in.
“Don’t you understand why Mrs. Harding needs a new assistant? It’s because you are not qualified for the job,” Ian said coldly. It
was evident that he also disliked Lola’s brazen attitude.
The most important duty of a personal assistant was to treat their employer with respect while properly managing their day-to-
day activities, and Lola seemed to have failed in this duty.
“What?” Her eyes widened in disbelief. Ian then ruthlessly pointed out Lola’s defects, “First, as Mrs. Harding’s personal assistant,
you didn’t tell her about your temporary leave. What if something had happened to her while you were away?”
Lola bit her lip and stood speechless. Ian continued, “Secondly, you recklessly accepted people’s food gifts without checking
their ingredients first. The worst thing that a pregnant woman can experience is an allergic reaction. If anything were to happen,
would you be able to take responsibility for it? Thirdly, emotional fluctuation within a pregnant woman will not only affect her
body, but also the baby in her belly. Yet you quarreled with her and made her upset.”
After a long pause, Ian’s tone became even colder. “As an assistant, you have completely failed in your duties.”
