NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 535: Severed All TiesThe servant packed up Lila‘s bags, who still refused to leave, and even went out of her way to force the servant to put her things
back.
She couldn‘t possibly leave like this. She had to fight for her right to be here. It was beneath her to live a poor life. After mulling it
in her head for a while, Lila decided to have a talk with both Johanna and Janet.
As long as the two of them agreed to it, she still had one last chance to stay in the Whites ‘household. She really would do
anything to stay here. When the second day caround, Lila waited outside the door of Janet‘s room early in the morning. It
was actually Ethan who opened the door, helping Jout of her room.
With Ethan around, Lila didn‘t dare to do anything rash. Her plan was to plead to Jwhen she was alone. She didn‘t think at
first that Ethan would be around her twenty–four hours a day.
However, after they left the house, they didn‘t cback. The Whites also hadn‘t returned since they went out yesterday. Lila
had no idea where to find them. Lila stayed in the Whites‘ house for three whole days, then, the newspaper reported that the
White family had announced that they had severed all ties with her. She would from now on take her birth father‘s last name,
It was not until Lila finished reading the newspaper article that she recovered her senses. Both Beal and Johanna had seen
through her thoughts from the very beginning. Now that this was indeed decided, there was nothing she could do to change
The announcement in the newspaper clearly reported that she was no longer the adopted daughter of the White family. She had
no ties with the White family now.
Lila was very much heartbroken. She left the White family with her luggage and headed straight to the Torres family‘s house.
Now, the only person she could rely on was Eric.
When Eric opened the door and saw Lila show up at his doorstep, he glanced over at his wife and son inside the house and
asked with a very unnatural expression on his face, “What are you doing here, Lila? Didn‘t I tell you to never cto my
house?”
Lila burst into tears and said, “Did you hear? I was just kicked out of the White family. Eric, I have no idea where to go now. You
said you would marry me. Let‘s speed things along, all right?”
This trick happened to work best before. Whenever she cried, Eric would never be able to deny her anything. Lila thought that
she was very young and beautiful. If Eric could divorce his wife and marry her now, it would be a good way for her to escape the
life of struggling in poverty.
relationship with Lila, so he didn‘t want to continue deceiving her anymore.
“You should head back to your birth parents. Just so you know, I won‘t marry you, Lila. Do you actually think you deserve to be
my wife now that you have no title or money?”
He went on to say lazily, “If you‘re still interested in being my mistress, we can keep it up. If not, I won‘t force you to do anything.
Head back and think it over carefully. And don‘t chere again. If my pregnant wife sees you, I won‘t let you get away with
this.”
It was not until then that Lila found out what kind of person Eric truly was. She was so angry that she snapped at him right on
the spot, “Who wants to be your mistress? You‘re an absolute jerk, Eric!”
Eric ignored her words, slammed the door, and shut her out. Lila was both angry and regretful at once. With tears in her eyes,
she turned around and left.
It was obvious that she and Eric were no more. But when she was halfway back, she began to regret it in her heart. She
shouldn‘t have made such a huge scene and left herself no way to turn back.
Even if she kept on being Eric‘s mistress, it would be much better than going back to the Gillians with her tail between her legs.
She had never visited the Gillians before, but she had heard word that they weren‘t very rich. Lila was in total despair right then.
She found herself in a dilemma.
The White family had made up their mind to cut ties with her. There was no way she could shamelessly turn to beg them again.
Lila really had nowhere to go. After walking around the streets for a long while, she took a cab to her birth parents‘ residence
unwillingly according to the address Beal had given her.
