Chapter 579: Interrogation
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Garrett pointed squarely at Gregâs nose, filled with loathing, and said, "What a wuss! When Laney was
with me, I wanted to do everything for her.
And you had the gall to expect her to protect you? You could have hired a bodyguard, but no, instead,
you thought, maybe you should find a girlfriend who could protect you for no cost so you could save a
few bucks?"
Laney stood beside Garrett listening to him berate Greg.
A satisfied smile stretched across her face.
Garrett couldnât calm himself down even one iota.
He turned around and stared at Laney.
After a while, he asked in utter disbelief, "So is this your type of man?"
Laney immediately stopped smiling and said in a frigid tone, "No."
Garrett couldnât bring himself to believe it.
He looked at Greg, who was still trembling in the corner, and didnât know how Laney could ever rather
be with such a coward than him, a handsome and rich man who loved her truly and deeply.
At least, he would never hide behind Laney when they were caught in danger.
"Then why were you with him?"
Garrett fixed his eyes on Laney.She was simply mortified.She scratched her nose awkwardly and
stuttered, "I...I..."
She hesitated in providing him with an answer because she thought it was an immature reason to
reveal to Garrett.
Her juvenile reasoning for agreeing to be Gregâs girlfriend was simply because she had been angry
with Garrett.
She avoided the question and said in deflection, "Donât yell at me here.Itâs none of your business."
After saying that, she turned on her heel and left.
Garrett knew that there must be a reason behind her agreement to date Greg.
He caught up with her, grabbed her wrist and asked, "When did you become his girlfriend? If I hadnât
overheard Janetâs words, would I have known about this at all?"
Laney shook off his hand and said, "We just started dating four days ago.Can you stop pestering me
about this?"
After thinking for a while about what had happened four days ago, he asked, "Where had you been four
days ago? What happened?"
"Alright then, itâs none of my business.If you donât tell me, Iâll find it out myself."
As soon as Garrett finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Laney could do nothing about it.She knew that if he was determined to investigate the whole thing, he
would definitely find something.
In that case, she thought sheâd better tell him herself.
Laney then stopped him.
"Fine! I will tell you the truth! I was at the supermarket the other day and saw you with your new
girlfriend.On the same day, he came to me and asked me to be his girlfriend.I wasnât thinking clearly, so
I agreed.Thatâs it.Donât investigate the matter."
After listening to her words, Garrett was momentarily stunned before understanding dawned upon
him.He touched his jaw, lowered his head and looked at her.He couldnât help smiling.
"Did you agree to be his girlfriend to get back at me? Because you were jealous?"
