The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 526: You Think I Deserve WorseLila refused to accept what Johanna said.
"Eric doesn‘t love his wife anymore.They‘re going to get divorced, and I'll marry him after that.I am not a home–wrecker when
there‘s nothing to wreck in the first place!"
Johanna was so angry that she just shook her head in frustration.
"Do you even know what you‘re talking about, Lila? If he really is going to divorce his wife, why would he impregnate her with a
second child?"
Beal had never been humiliated like this.
"Dad, Mom, Eric explained to me that he had no choice.He married his wife for the sake of his family inheritance.His wife argues
with him every single day, and it has been torturing him to the point of depression.I‘m the reason he started to feel better.For
once, trust Eric.I am begging you.Once he‘s divorced, he‘ll marry me right away.Nobody will find out about this."
Lila started sobbing.She had already planned her future with Eric.
It was great that she had been doing more exercise now and was in good health, or else she would‘ve passed out right this
instance.
To calm herself down, she had to take a few deep breaths.
Then, she put on a serious expression and said to Lila, "A man like Eric will never treat a young woman like you seriously.Even if
he really gets divorced and marries you, you‘ve already had an affair with him while he‘s still married.Once you‘re married to him,
people will find out how you manage it and everyone will look down upon you.Think this through, Lila.If you marry that man,
people will call you all sorts of horrible names."
Meanwhile, Janet was sitting on the sofa, watching them in silence.
Interfering in other people‘s marriage was never right, even if it had been for love.
Lila refused to listen to their advice.
Beal and Johanna were right, but she still believed in her and Eric‘s love.
Moreover, the Torres family was one of the prominent families in Barnes.
"Why can‘t I marry Eric? I’ve found a better man than those you introduced to me, but you refuse to acknowledge our
relationship.Do you think all I deserve is to marry an ordinary man?"
Lila sounded really angry.
Why did everyone hate her? This time, both Johanna and Beal were too disappointed to speak.
Their daughter had misunderstood them.She was treating their kindness as malice, and they had no idea how to better explain
things to her.
Silence ensued in the living room.
Moments later, Johanna heaved a deep sigh, breaking the silence.
"Date whoever you want, just not a married man."
Lila wiped away her tears and said, "I do want to date an unmarried man, but I don‘t like any of the dates you‘ve found me."
Unmarried young men from rich families didn‘t want her, so targeting rich divorced men was the only way she could think of to
marry into a rich family.
Johanna could tell what her daughter was thinking, so she tried to persuade her.
"Life isn‘t as easy as you think.Marrying into rich families isn‘t that great.Trust me.Though the men I found for you aren‘t as rich
as Eric, I‘m sure that they can guarantee you a carefree life.Why can‘t you just settle, Lila?"
Lila burst into tears again.She started to resent her mother.
"You think I don’t know that you just can‘t bear to see me marry a rich guy? You simply think that I deserve worse than Janet!"
