Chapter 1219
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1219 Kailee Is Pregnant
âDid you not claim to have eradicated every trace of those surveillance recordings?â
Realizing there was no point in feigning ignorance any longer, Kaileeâs fury ignited as she pointed a
menacing finger at the trembling waiter. âYou deceitful snake! Was my payment not sufficient enough
for your treachery?â
Cowering, the waiter could not muster the courage to speak.
The truth was that he had indeed erased the surveillance footage at Kaileeâs behest. However, in his
sheer negligence, he had overlooked the existence of a backup file, which was discovered by Janet.
Consequently, he was forced to appear as a witness against his will.
At the sight of Kaileeâs frenzied countenance, the anguish and resentment that had long festered within
Garrettâs heart dissipated.
He gloated, âThe entire Gibson clan has been apprised of your devious schemes. Persist, and media
broadcasts your sordid tale far and wide, branding you as a home-wrecker without remorse.â
Kaileeâs thoughts swirled in disarray. She had never anticipated that Garrett would be so merciless,
exposing her darkest secrets to the world and obliterating her reputation. As the Gibson family heiress,
her involvement in such a scandal would undoubtedly wreak havoc on their corporate empire, causing
stocks to plummet and making damage control near-impossible.
Gritting her teeth, Kailee struggled to regain her composure. âRegardless, we did share a bed. Unless
you can show me the footage from that night to prove you didnât sleep with me.â
Garrettâs expression darkened. âIs this your last stand?â
Following a brief, tense silence, Kaileeâs demeanor shifted dramatically, her face now adorned with a
radiant smile. âActually, thereâs something else I need to share with you. Letâs discuss it after youâve
seen this.â She withdrew a document from her purse, her voice tinged with a coy timidity. âThis is a
pregnancy test report from the city hospital. The timeline indicates that I became pregnant the day after
our tryst.â Dumbfounded, Garrett stood motionless, his gaze locked on the report in Kaileeâs grasp.
He opened his mouth to speak, but words failed him.
Waving the report triumphantly, Kaileeâs grin oozed smugness. âYou claim to have married Laney out of
compassion. Can you not extend the same sympathy to me and make me your wife?â
Garrettâs voice was thick with disbelief. âYou are utterly undeserving of sympathy! Youâre a malevolent
creature! Your words mean nothing to me!ââ
He lunged forward, seizing Kaileeâs wrist. âYouâre going to redo the pregnancy test this instant!â
As the two grappled with one another, the door to the VIP room burst open. âEnough!ââ Garrett froze at
the sound of the all-too- familiar voice.
Visibly flustered, he turned and stammered, âLaney⦠How did youâ¦?â
Tears cascading down her cheeks, Laney stood in the doorway, Ianâs stoic presence beside her.
Witnessing the chaotic scene before her, Laneyâs voice wavered with sorrow. âI know everything. How
long were you planning to deceive me, Garrett?â
âNo, itâs not what it seems! Let me explain.â Garrett hastily released Kailee, attempting to embrace
Laney, but she evaded him.
With her head lowered in disappointment, Laney whispered, âI heard it all. Kailee is carrying your child.
What more is there to say?â
âIâ¦â Garrett stammered, desperate to clarify, but Laneyâs words left him at a loss for a rebuttal.
His gaze narrowing, Garrett suddenly rounded on Ian, baring his teeth in a snarl. âIt was you, wasnât it?
You divulged the sordid details of my entanglement with Kailee to Laney, didnât you? Did you bring her
here deliberately? What was your motive?â
Ian remained unperturbed by Garrettâs rage, calmly responding, âMrs. Harding chose to come of her
own accord. She has every right to know the truth.â
âYou orchestrated this!â With an animalistic growl, Garrett lunged at Ian, his fist flying towards Ianâs
face.
