The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 972 Lydia Left
Once Vivianâs video clarifying the issue was posted online, the public opinion on the Larson Group
became less and less negative. There were still a few bad comments on the Internet but nothing that
could damage their reputation again.
Janetâs meeting with a client of the W Marks Studio just ended that day.
She was just walking out of the meeting room when her phone started ringing.
The second Janet saw the caller ID, she answered the phone excitedly, âLydia, have you been
discharged? How are you and your daughter?â
The last time Janet saw Lydia was that day she attempted to jump off the building. Since then, Janet
had not seen Lydia and her baby.
âMy daughter and I are safe now. We have been discharged from the hospital. Mr. Larson has sent a
car that will take us out of Barnes. I called to thank you for what you did that day. Without you, my life
would have ended on the rooftop.â Lydiaâs voice faltered and a series of sniffs filled the line.
âYou donât have to call just to say thank me, Lydia,â Janet said, her tone gentle as usual.
She didnât ask more. Judging from Lydiaâs attitude, she knew the woman was in a much better place.
Lydia inhaled deeply before continuing. âThis time, my baby and I will leave Barnes for good. I wanted
to meet you before leaving but everything was happening so fast.
And I know you still have work to do. So, I thought it was better not to disturb you. Iâve always
considered the Larson Group as my enemy. Iâm sorry. Iâm really sorry.â
Lydia apologized again and again on the phone. She didnât know what else to say but she let her
sincerity be heard in the words.
Janet was moved, âYou can call me whenever you have time. Itâs easy to travel to places now. Even if
you go abroad, Iâm sure we will have a chance to see each other again. Lydia, I wish you a safe and
smooth journey.â
Perhaps it was time to board the plane because Lydia suddenly said goodbye to Janet and hung up the
phone. Up in the sky, a plane flew over and disappeared into the clouds.
Janet stood by the window, seemingly in a trance. Then a noise from behind brought her back to reality.
She looked back and found Tasha struggling to pick up documents on the ground.
âLet me help you.â Janet squatted down and reached for the documents. Once she was done, she
handed them to Tasha. âYour belly has grown a lot bigger recently.â
Tasha put a hand on her back before taking the documents from Janet using the other. She said with
worry, âThank you. Iâm getting heavier too. I canât even pick up the papers on the ground.â
Janet was also worried about her. âIf itâs really getting hard for you to move about, why donât you ask
Mr. Wesley to let you work from home?â
Tasha smiled, relaxing now. âDonât worry. I can still do my work here. Iâm planning on working overtime
to finish all the projects that can be accomplished during this period. Then I will stay home until I finally
give birth.â
Janet knew Tasha wasnât only a capable but a determined woman too.
She may still be an assistant, but Tasha could easily and perfectly complete all the projects a real
designer could. Recalling what was on the papers she had just picked up, Janet asked in confusion,
âDid we get any design projects for children lately?â
Tasha didnât answer.
Janet looked up and noticed Tashaâs strange expression. She immediately apologized. âIâm sorry. I saw
it when I picked it up. Itâs very cute.â
Embarrassed, Tasha held the documents tightly in her hands and said, âI drew these by myself. I
designed them for my baby.â
âYou should submit it to the competition. Then, all the children worldwide can wear the lovely clothes
you designed. Maybe you can profit from it too!â Janet encouraged Tasha to participate in the childrenâs
clothing design competition. It had recently started accepting entries.
âNo, itâs been years since I participated in any competition,â Tasha said with obvious hesitation.
Just then, Janet saw Elizabeth walking towards them, a cup of coffee in hand. Janet pulled her over.
âElizabeth, look at this design Tasha drafted. I think she should join the childrenâs clothing design
competition. Iâm sure sheâll get good results. What do you think?â
