My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Janet's words rendered Laney speechless.She was used to dealing with people straightforwardly with force, but Janet's outright
coldness made her flustered and helpless.
Laney would've preferred it if Janet beat her to vent her anger rather than cut off their friendship.
"Don't act like we're strangers, Janet..." Laney forced a smile.
"If it weren't for Mr.Larson, you and I would have been strangers, Miss Garcia,"
Janet retorted coldly.
"Okay.It's true that Mr.Larson hired me to protect you, and it's true that I've been lying to you.For that, I'm sorry,"
Laney apologized right away.
Janet's anger was unsettling; it made her realize just how terrible it was when a usually gentle and nice person got mad.Janet
nodded but didn't say anything else.
"Sorry, I just need some time to calm down," Janet said with a sigh after a while.She didn't want to talk to Laney anymore, so she
started to walk past her.
"Wait!" Laney stopped Janet, and then quickly lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, okay? My contract said that I couldn't reveal my identity nor could I reveal Mr.Larson's.I couldn't violate the terms."
Janet put on a calm smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"I know you were just doing your job.I just feel like I had been such a fool for believing you were my friend ever since you saved
me.Miss Garcia, I've never had a real friend since I was a child, so when you treated me well, I couldn't help but believe that you
had considered me as a friend, too."
Laney anxiously explained, "It's true that at the beginning, I was just hired to protect you, but I gradually came to regard you as a
real friend.I wasn't lying to you about that.You're a very worthy friend.You're gentle and refined, whereas I'm a straightforward
person.Few girls are willing to be friends with me.When you treated me sincerely, I was really happy that I had you."
Laney's voice sounded genuine.

Janet's cold eyes softened somewhat and she fell silent.
It wasn't that she didn't believe what Laney was saying, rather she was still hurting from the fact that their friendship was fake in
the beginning.
Other than her biological parents, no one in this world would have treated her well for no reason.
With Laney, she just didn't figure it out at first.
The more Janet thought about it, the more distressed she felt.She didn't say anything as her mind raced.
How was she supposed to treat Laney now? She didn't think it was necessary to cut off all ties with Laney, but she couldn't
continue to view Laney as a friend either.
She lowered her head, walked past Laney, and unlocked the door with her fingerprint.
"I won't invite you in, Miss Garcia.You can go back and tell Mr.Larson that I'm safe and I don't need anyone to protect me from
now on."
Then, without waiting for a response, she closed the door on Laney's face.
Being left outside, Laney felt helpless.
It was clear that Janet was still too immersed in her anger to listen to reason now.
No matter what Laney said, it would likely fall on deaf ears.
Just as Laney was about to leave, she sensed that someone was behind her.
She whirled around vigilantly and when she saw who it was, she sighed in relief.
"Mr.Larson, why are you sneaking around in the daytime?"
