My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

“Laney actually sent over the divorce papers?” Janet blurted out, incredulous.
She had initially assumed their dispute was a mere conflict, with Laney’s demand for divorce born from a moment of anger. She
never expected Laney to actually deliver the papers. It seemed Laney was determined to end the marriage.
Suddenly, Janet recalled not seeing a ring on Laney’s finger during their recent video call.
Had Laney made up her mind then?
This revelation only deepened Janet’s confusion.
Throughout their conversation, she had sensed Laney’s lingering love for Garrett. How could she rush into divorce so hastily?
Garrett, intent on drowning his sorrows, discovered his bottle was empty. He beckoned the waiter to bring more.
This time, Janet didn’t intervene. Perhaps, for Garrett, alcohol was the best balm for his wounds. “I thought setting her free would
bring her back when she realized her true desires, (ninjanovel.com content)” Garrett murmured. His bloodshot eyes stared into
the bottle before taking a hefty swig. “I never imagined she’d leave and never return. I regret it. I shouldn’t have let her go!”
Witnessing his friend’s agony, Brandon empathized and joined him in a drink. “Why not seek her out and get some clarity? It
might not be as dire as you think.”
Garrett shook his head, disheartened. “I considered that. | planned to find her last night, but... I couldn’t face her. I fear the
loathing in her eyes, the possibility that she no longer loves me...” As his words trailed off, Garrett’s gaze grew distant and tears
welled up. He lifted the bottle and drank deeply. Men seldom wept so openly.
Janet’s heart ached witnessing Garrett’s despair.
She had seen their journey from acquaintances to lovers and everything in between. Never had she anticipated this outcome,
with their relationship disintegrating so completely.
Brandon, unable to tolerate his friend’s desolation, challenged him with a steely tone, “Can you truly let go of Laney and your
newborn daughter? If you can’t, then fight for them! Moping here, drowning in alcohol and tears won’t solve a thing.”
Garrett froze for a moment before slamming the bottle onto the table. “You’re right! I won’t surrender so easily! I’ll win her back!
Laney belongs to me, and only me!”
Meanwhile, Janet took a more thoughtful stance. Having seen the hardships

Laney faced within the Harding family, she cautioned, “Even if you manage to win Laney back now, if you can’t ensure she’s free
to pursue her desires, you’ll inevitably part ways again.” Though heavily inebriated, (ninjanovel.com content) Garrett sobered up
slightly at Janet’s words. With earnest resolve, he declared, “I’ve come to understand that love means supporting her
wholeheartedly. If Laney returns, no matter her aspirations, even if she aspires to the presidency, I’ll back her.”
Janet’s eyes gleamed with amusement. “Really? Didn’t you say that you marry her out of pity?”
“Ridiculous!” Garrett slammed the table, his voice escalating. “I love her! There are countless pitiable souls in the world; why
wouldn’t I pity and love them too? I love only Laney! I love her!” Ultimately, Garrett slurred “I love Laney” several times before
collapsing onto Brandon’s shoulder.
Brandon, repulsed, shoved Garrett away and turned to Janet, impatience clear in his voice. “Are you done interrogating him? Did
Laney catch all of that?”
Janet chuckled and held up her phone, revealing a call with Laney in progress. “How did you know I was phoning Laney?” she
inquired. It turned out that shortly after entering the private room, Janet had covertly dialed Laney and left the phone aside,
deliberately allowing Garrett an opportunity to bare his soul.
