Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 558

"Wait, don't leave yet—" Garrett reached for her hand and tried to stop her.

Laney shook off his hand and shouted, "Get away from me!"

Before Garrett could respond, she ran out the door with her luggage. "If they want me, then they'll have to come and get me!"

Garrett rubbed his temples. He knew he couldn't stop her.

Laney went straight to the Pole Shadow.

The people there hadn't seen her in weeks, so they all thought that something bad had happened to her. After all, the news that the Burke family wanted her dead had spread some time ago.

"Laney, I think you should leave the country and go into hiding for a while," someone suggested, their voice riddled with worry.

But Laney didn't want to run away. She had been staying with Garrett for nearly half a month and was bored out of her wits. "It's okay. I'll stay vigilant. I'll kill whoever tries to kill me."

Seeing that Laney looked so confident, no one tried to talk her into running away anymore. They all knew she had it in her.

Laney stayed with the organization for a few days. During this period, she did whatever she'd normally do, but no one tried to hurt her.

She was confused. Did the Burkes just let her go?

That wasn't like them...
