The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1192 Brandon Took Charge Of The Situation
At that moment, Leo and Vera made their entrance, their expressions a blend of anxiety and concern.
Upon observing the unfolding scene, Leo inquired, âWhat in heavens is transpiring? Why are you
restraining Lola?â
Janet scoffed derisively, her disdain for Leo and Vera palpable, âPerhaps you ought to direct your
question to Lola, the âstellarâ assistant you so thoughtfully employed for Laney.â
Though Janet harbored a strong aversion to Leo and Vera, she had consistently maintained an air of
cordiality. However, witnessing Leoâs disregard for Laney and the baby, and his unfounded accusations,
her anger boiled over, and she abandoned all pretense of politeness.
Vera, taken aback by Janetâs audacity, chastised her, âThis is a hospital, not a place for theatrics!
Release Lola at once. Our familyâs affairs are none of your concern.â
Leo concurred, adding, âIndeed, I brought Lola here. Surely, she could never harm Laney. Let her go.â
âAbsolutely not!â Janet retorted, undeterred. She glared at Leo and declared, âIt is not for you to
determine whether Lola has wronged Laney or not.â
âYou insolentâ¦â Taken aback by Janetâs audacity, Leo found himself seething with rage, his chest
heaving as he struggled to catch his breath.
âYou dare to overstep your bounds and hire a male assistant for Laney without permission, and now
you wish to meddle in the private affairs of the Harding family! Your arrogance knows no bounds,
Janet!â
Weary of bickering with Leo, Janet turned to Mesue, commanding, âRemove Lola from the premises. If
anything befalls Laney, the responsibility lies with her. Do not allow her to escape.â
Feeling utterly disregarded, Leoâs visage paled, his fury palpable.
âPreposterous! Absolutely preposterous! How could the esteemed White family produce such an
uncouth, feral creature as yourself?â Roaring, he lunged forward, intent on striking Janet across the
face as retribution.
As his hand neared its target, a larger hand suddenly grasped Leoâs wrist, forcefully pushing him back.
Stumbling, Leo nearly fell, saved only by Veraâs timely intervention.
A towering figure then positioned itself protectively before Janet. Gazing upon his back, Janet finally
allowed herself a sigh of relief.
It was Brandon.
âMr. Harding, I implore you to exercise some restraint,â Brandon admonished, his frosty tone silencing
all those present.
Even Lola, who had been struggling throughout the ordeal, ceased her movements, biting her lip as
she trembled.
âThank God youâre here, Brandon,â Janet whispered, abandoning her fagade of defiance. Grasping
Brandonâs hand, she sobbed, âLaney⦠she â¦â
âDonât worry.â
Brandon reassured her, patting her head as he requested the physician recommended by Frank to
assess the situation in the delivery room. He then instructed the bodyguards to escort Leo and Vera to
the VIP room.
With the scene now under control, Leo softened his stance, conceding, âWe must see the child first.â
âYes, indeed. Let us lay eyes on our granddaughter,â Vera chimed in, her eagerness palpable.
In their haste, they failed to acknowledge that their daughter-in-law was still battling for her life in the
delivery room.
With a cold glare, Brandon interjected, âLaneyâs well-being hangs in the balance. Shouldnât you be
more concerned for her, rather than the child?â
Chagrined, Leo and Vera stammered, âButâ¦â Brandon scoffed, cutting them off, âIt would be prudent to
await until Laney is out of harmâs way. We should also wait till your son is here to see the baby.â
