The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1197 An Intimate Photo
“The number you’ve dialed cannot be reached at this moment. Please call back later.”
“Damn it!” Kailee rubbed her temples, clearly irritated.
She had just returned from a trip and had been trying to get in t*ouch with Lola, but to no avail. She couldn’t help but feel a bit
agitated.
Just as she was plotting her next move, her phone lit up.
She picked it up and saw a message from Laney’s attending physician. “Laney gave birth to a girl. She and the baby are doing
just fine.”
The message only served to irritate Kailee some more. She hadn’t expected Laney to be lucky enough to survive the accident!
As it turned out, it was all Kailee’s doing. First, she bribed Lola and got her to distract Ian. Then, she told the physician to stall
and buy some more time. Finally, she had a care worker w*et the floor of Laney’s ward, causing her to slip and have her baby
prematurely.
When Laney was rescued after her fall, Kailee immediately asked the care worker to sneak back into the ward and mop up every
drop of water on the floor.
As an extra precaution against the worst-case scenario, she sent someone to delete all the surveillance footage of the corridor in
Laney’s ward. That way, even if her plan were exposed later, there’d be no evidence to prove that she had really caused Laney’s
premature delivery. 4
As the hospital belonged to the Gibson family, it wasn’t too hard for her to pull all of these strings.
In her quest to k*ill Laney and the baby, Kailee had taken every possible factor into account. Despite this, she seemed to have
neglected Brandon and Janet.
She’d planned to instruct the physician to k*ill Laney during the operation, but hadn’t expected that Brandon would contract a
different doctor to help save Laney after finding out that shed suffered a hemorrhage.
The physician that Kailee had arranged for Laney was terrified of the Larson Group and the White family. In addition to that, the
doctor that Brandon came along with was present throughout the operation, so he didn’t dare do anything.
With all this in mind, Kailee began to develop a throbbing headache.
She hadn’t expected all her efforts to be in vain. “Idiot, you couldn’t even carry out such a simple task.”
Kailee couldn’t help but curse at the physician’s message.
In order to deal with the situation, however, she endured the irritation she felt and paid the physician handsomely, asking him to
retreat to a clinic in the countryside and keep a low profile for a while.
After receiving the bank alert confirming that the money had been sent, he happily complied with Kailee’s suggestion.
Afterwards, she sat on the sofa and pondered upon other solutions to her peculiar predicament.
Now, Laney had successfully given birth to her child. Even if Leo and Vera didn’t like her initially, they’d subconsciously begin to
accept her for the sake of Garrett and the baby. This was completely unacceptable to Kailee. She had planned several things,
and had spent a lot of time and effort pleasing Leo and Vera. In addition to this, she had lavishly paid off Lola and the physician
to k*ill Laney and her unborn baby – all in a bid to marry into the Harding family.
In the end, it seemed like it would have all been for nothing. The mere prospect of this made her struggle to maintain her
composure.
After giving the situation some thought for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She unlocked her phone and glanced at a picture on it. A devious smile immediately flashed across on her face.
There were two people in the photo. The one on the left was Garrett, who had lied that he was going on a business trip. He was
sound asleep in a bed with his clothes completely ruffled. The woman on the right was Kailee, scantily dressed and flushed.
“Oh Garrett...” Stroking the photo, Kailee muttered, You’ll be mine sooner or later.”
