Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1241

Janet had anticipated that Vera would come looking for her, and she knew that Vera was troubled by the gossip spreading in their social circle.

She had told about all of this to Johanna, hoping that she could help come up with a solution, which would not only dissuade Vera from bothering Laney but also quash the gossip about the Harding family. As a result, Johanna did figure out how to do that.

While Janet brought Vera to the cafe, she organized a tea party to scotch the gossip for Vera.

Fortunately, the result turned out to be just as good as she had expected.

Those ladies believed Johanna's words without a doubt. They stopped ridiculing and judging Vera for mistreating her daughter-in-law.

However, Janet was very curious about how Johanna came up with such a plan.

Johanna smiled and patted her daughter's hand, looking resourceful and elegant.

"I've been in Barnes for so long that I have come to understand a bit about the personalities of these ladies. Take Vera, for example. She cares greatly about her reputation and that's why she was eager to bring Laney back to scotch the rumors. Now that everyone believes that Vera was wronged by those baseless rumors. She certainly won't cause trouble for Laney anymore," explained Johanna.

Janet nodded thoughtfully, impressed with her mother's insight.

It was no wonder that Johanna was a socialite everyone in Barnes praised. She effortlessly resolved the scandal and left no trace of negligence.

Janet held her mother's arm and said sweetly, "Thank goodness, I have you, Mom! Or I wouldn't have known how to solve this problem by myself."

Johanna affectionately rubbed Janet's nose and said lovingly, "I want everyone to know that you have your family's full support, regardless of what you do."
