The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 499

The next morning, Lila arrived at the hospital with various concoctions with her. She knocked on the door and entered the ward. Both Janet and her parents were genuinely taken aback at her appearance. They hadn’t expected her, of all people, to pay a visit. 

After hearing everything from Ethan just the day before, Beal and Johanna just couldn’t bring themselves to be amicable with Lila now.

 “What are you doing here?” Beal asked. 

Contrary to his characteristic disposition as a loving father, he now pulled a long face to show his disgruntlement. Johanna didn’t even afford Lila a cursory glance and kept her gaze averted from the offending woman. 

Lila really didn’t expect the two of them to be so openly cold towards her. According to what Charis had told her, she started to cry bitterly in front of her parents and Janet.

“Dad, Mom! I am so sorry!” 

After saying that, she got down on her knees before them to beg. 

Finally, Beal and Johanna were softened. In any event, Lila was raised by them. Over the many years of her life with them, they had always treated her as their own flesh and blood. Regardless of the fact that Lila didn’t achieve good grades at school and also didn’t have any ambitious inclination, they never cared about it in the least bit. For them, as long as she was happy, everything was just swell. 

“What are you doing?” Johanna looked at Lila with a frown creased across her forehead. She felt crestfallen. Lila cried with absolute hysteria. 

“I clearly saw that there was something wrong with Janet’s parachute, but I deliberately concealed it from being discovered. I’m sorry. I’m so very sorry.” 

Hearing this, Lila felt as if she had been struck by lightning straight in the heart. She knelt down in front of Beal and begged, “Dad, I am really sorry. I swear that nothing like this will ever happen again. Don’t abandon me, please!” 

Beal looked at her and said, “I have decided to give you one final chance only for the sake of your twenty-year family relationship with the White family. Lila, neither your mother nor I ever asked much for you, but you at least need to know what you should do and what you shouldn’t. Behave yourself and think it over. Don’t let such a thing happen again.”

 Lila nodded as tears profusely streamed down her cheeks. Although Beal didn’t say it in a blatant, straightforward manner, his meaning was as clear as day. If something like this ever happened again, he might just kick her out of the White family for good. 

“Yes, absolutely! It won’t happen again.” Lila nodded submissively.
