The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 527

Upon seeing that Lila was actually being so unreasonable, Johanna’s face reddened from anger. She seldom got so angry ever since she had stopped dealing with business.

Johanna was about to give up, but she had to consider the reputation of the White family first and foremost. If Lila went on to continue seeing Eric, someone would find out about this sooner or later. At that time, the White family would be put to shame.

“Anyway, you’re not allowed to see Eric anymore. The White family really can’t have a daughter who’s a home-wrecker!”

Seeing the sternness written all over Johanna’s face, Lila clenched her fists tightly to her sides and said to her, “Mom, Eric and I are really…”

Johanna lifted her hand to stop Lila and with a stern look in her eyes, she said, “If you don’t listen to me, you can no longer call yourself a White.”

In the past, Johanna used to be a fierce businesswoman in Barnes. Whenever she was this serious, people would feel suppressed by her imposing demeanor.

Since she had said these words, it must mean she was really angry. And her words were very straightforward and to the point. If Lila went on to see Eric, she would be directly forced out of the family.

Lila held herself back and lowered her gaze to the floor. She didn’t dare to cry or contradict Johanna anymore right now. The only thing she could do was nod reluctantly. “Okay, I won’t see him anymore, Mom.”

Johanna waved her hand around and gestured Lila to go back to her room. “Go back to your room and think about what we have just discussed.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Lila turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and asked her mother, “How did you find out that I’ve been seeing Eric?”

“How could we not know when Eric came personally to pick you up right in front of our house?” Johanna said rather unhappily.

Beal cleared his throat and said to her, “Janet saw you in a married man’s car. She was worried about you, so that was why she told us.”

Lila had a wry smile on her face and instantly got angry. She sent a resentful glance over at Janet.

That bitch did it deliberately because she didn’t want to see her happy. Furthermore, she must’ve said something to their parents to make them react in this way.

Ignoring the expression Lila had on her face, Janet continued to look through her phone.

With Johanna and Beal here, no matter how dissatisfied and angry Lila was, she didn’t dare to show any of her displeasure. She could only pretend that nothing had happened and go back to her room with her tail between her legs.

Now, there were only Beal, Johanna, and Janet left in the living room.

Johanna pinched Beal’s arm and said in an angry voice, “You just told Lila that it was Janet who snitched on her? Do you want to make her hate Janet even more?”

Beal furrowed his brows. He wasn’t thinking just now. “Lila won’t dare to get back at Janet. I have already warned her before.”

“Who knows what she might be capable of? Lila happens to be a grown woman now and she has her own mind. We don’t need to intervene too much in this matter than we have to, just let her think for

herself.”

Feeling disappointed, Johanna shook her head and checked the time. “Well, it’s late, I’m going to bed now. Janet, you should get some rest as well.”

Janet proceeded to hug her mother and headed back to her bedroom.

On the second day, when Janet was about to head out, Lila, who was going down the stairs, caught up with her and stopped her from leaving.
