Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1239

Johanna had booked a private room in the cafe in advance, so Vera and the other ladies followed her inside.

The thought of the Harding family's recent scandals, as well as Leo's warning, ran through Vera's mind, and she became very uneasy.

Considering how much these women loved to gossip, they were definitely going to ask her for details on the recent scandals and make fun of her whilst at it.

This was especially true since they'd all been invited by Johanna.

She had been very rude to Janet earlier, so it was almost guaranteed that Janet and Johanna were going to take the opportunity to humiliate her.

Just as Vera had expected, as soon as the tea and desserts arrived, the wealthy ladies began to gossip as they usually did, chatting away excitedly.

As the conversations progressed, Vera eventually became the topic of discussion.

The Harding family's recent scandals were the most popular topic in their circle.

Mrs. Lee was the first to ask about it, "Mrs. Harding, we heard that your daughter-in-law had to run away with her child because of you. Is that true?"

As soon as she ended her question, all the other ladies joined in and began chipping in their own comments.

"I heard you made a scene at the hospital when you tried to take your granddaughter away," one remarked.

"Yeah, I also heard that your daughter-in-law went into labor prematurely because of the assistant that you got for her. Is that true?" another asked.

Vera froze. Her face turned pale as they bombarded her with their questions.

It was so humiliating!

She'd never felt this humiliated in her entire life.

In Vera's moment of helplessness, unsure how to respond to them, Janet suddenly spoke up with a smile. "Ladies, please don't bother Mrs. Harding with all these questions. Laney and I are very good friends, and I happen to know a thing or two about the issue."

Upon hearing Janet's words, Vera's heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Janet was going to take the opportunity to reveal everything, including how Kailee had instigated her to force Laney to leave. It was going to be a complete humiliation for Vera.

At that point, Vera kept silent, and waited anxiously for Janet to reveal the truth.
