Chapter 1050

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.”
