The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Chapter 114: Relief 

Janet turned a blind eye to Fiona’s performance.

Since Fiona didn’t allow her to leave, she used the chance to count the money. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After carefully counting and recounting it, she put the money back and neatly tucked away the bag.

"Well, the sum is correct.But your performance was pathetic.Don’t you feel ashamed to stay here?" she asked, looking into Fiona’s eyes.

Her lips curled up into a smile.

Janet was glad that she got the money and didn’t care about what anyone thought of her.

"If you’re not tired yet, you can sit down and cry a little longer.I have to give the money to the hospital for Hannah’s treatment right away, so I won’t be able to watch your performance."

"What? You’re going to leave with the money? That’s your sister’s tuition fee! Your father and I struggle to make ends meet.Do you want us to sell our kidneys to support our family now?"

Seeing that Janet was about to leave with the money, Fiona raised her voice a decibel higher and shouted, "Your father and I lead miserable lives.We have raised an ungrateful daughter.You are sucking the life and money out of us!"

Just then, Tiffany arrived and was about to enter the company.

A frown lined her forehead when she saw Janet and the crowd around her.

"What’s going on, Lind? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at work?"

"Everything is okay, Ms.Fisher.Don’t worry.I can handle it.I want permission to take off from work for an hour or two.I have to pay the medical fee for my family member in hospital.I’ll be back in the afternoon."

Janet smiled at Tiffany.

Fiona’s tricks didn’t affect her the slightest.

"Okay, come back soon," Tiffany readily agreed.

Then, she saw Fiona lying on the ground and frowned.

"What are these two homeless people doing in there? Security! Get them out of here.We don’t want them to affect our work."

With that, she turned around and strutted into the building.

Considering she got Tiffany’s permission, Janet left.She didn’t want to talk to Bernie and Fiona anymore.She was already running out of time and had to pay for the surgery as soon as possible.

Fiona looked around in embarrassment.

Janet had left the place, leaving her all alone.

However, she didn’t want to give up easily.

Fiona waved her hands dramatically and began to cry again.

"Janet treats us like filth.Although we are her adoptive parents, we have always treated her as our own.But she is an ungrateful girl! “ Janet turned a deaf ear to Fiona’s words.She already hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital.She didn’t want to waste her time dealing with Bernie and Fiona.

After Janet left, Fiona slowly got up and left with Bernie.Once they got far away from the Larson Group, Bernie scolded Fiona.No one had ever humiliated him this way.

"We could have just given her the money without playing any tricks.God, it was humiliating!"

However, Fiona didn’t seem to care.

"Oh, come on, Bernie.You should be happy.I’m sure our drama would have ruined Janet’s reputation.Didn’t you see the look on the faces of the people there? They all hate Janet now.Sooner or later, Janet will get fired."

Meanwhile, in the hospital.

Janet paid the fees and confirmed the date of Hannah’s surgery.

She slumped on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

All the worries and quandaries in her mind were cleared, and Janet finally began to wonder why Bernie and Fiona had returned the money all of a sudden.

She leaned against the railing outside the corridor and called Ethan.

The heavy rain had awoken the entire city.The trees and greeneries looked lush and vibrant.

The cool breeze seemed to refresh everyone.

Autumn had finally arrived.

"I want to ask you something.My adoptive parents suddenly returned the money.Did you do anything?" Janet asked.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips when she heard his resonant voice.
