All Chapters of I'm Not A Substitute Wife: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

With a firm posture, Laura sat in the CEO’s chair, staring at those who doubted her performance. The few days Laura had been absent from the company seemed like a great opportunity for someone who wanted to push her aside and replace her with Beckett—Laura’s biological father.“For some reason, everything I do seems to be altered by someone. That person may wish to bring me down. You always doubt me and will never believe anything I say. That is why I will no longer act weak, nor behave as though I must simply submit to you. I hold the largest shares here, and of course I am the one who has the right to sit in this chair. Even if I do not wish to lead, I will choose for myself whom I will trust. And clearly, that is not my father, Beckett! My grandfather did not approve of all his assets falling into Mr Beckett’s hands. So I hope you understand. Moreover, if someone is struggling and in need of help, you should support them—not try to bring them down!”Laura spoke at length, because o

Marko had done something that could get Beckett expelled from the company, which should rightfully belong to Laura, the biological daughter of Vivian, who never wanted to give everything to the man she thought would love her. But in fact, that love never existed for Beckett, because his heart had long belonged to Shofia.Before writing her will, Vivian once told Marko that Laura’s biological mother hoped Laura would be fully loved by her father, because Vivian knew her life would not last much longer. There would be no one by Laura’s side, and for that reason Vivian hoped Beckett would love her and take care of her with affection.But that hope never came true. Laura never felt happiness, to the point where Marko himself could hardly believe that Beckett could even hate his own flesh and blood.If not for the conditions set forth, Laura might already have been cast out of that family, left to live alone without direction, even though perhaps there was Mr. Dominic, her half-brother, wh

Beckett was now at his residence. Together with Shofia, they were discussing what they should do next. Naturally, their thoughts revolved around Michelle—how they could possibly make Michelle leave the country, so she could escape the punishment that awaited her if she were ever caught.All of that seemed nearly impossible, as they were up against the Anderson family. Even the police had spread out in every direction to search for their daughter’s whereabouts.“What about Michelle? I don’t want to leave her behind if we really have to flee this country. Michelle is our only child!” Shofia exclaimed.Beckett fell silent, as if deeply lost in thought about how they could protect Michelle. Then, an idea came to him—something that might help, though it carried great risk.“Changing her identity. But of course, that would be extremely risky. I’ll think of a way. Don’t worry. And remember, don’t try to contact her, because that will only lead them to where our daughter is!” Beckett warned S

At the Anderson residence, William shared his plan about Mark working with Laura. Hearing what William said, Laura was of course very happy if Mark truly would work for her, because William Anderson’s wife knew exactly what kind of person Mark was.“That’s good, I was thinking of looking for someone, but it turns out you already found him first. Mark is a good man, someone I can trust. I’d be very happy if he really wanted to work with me. You know, I feel so alone in the company because no one sides with me,” said Laura sadly.William embraced his wife tightly. The man knew very well the difficulties his wife was facing in the company, but unfortunately William could not openly help Laura, or even better, he should not interfere at all in what Laura was fighting for—Laura’s proof that she could be a good leader.“I can only help you with this, because if I had helped you from the beginning with internal matters, it would never satisfy the board,” said William.“I know, I understand,

“So that woman didn’t talk much with William’s younger sister?” Ivana asked, once again making sure of what Mason had told her earlier that morning. The night before, Mason had followed Cassandra, who had taken Serena to her apartment.Mason nodded, confirming what Ivana said, certain that Serena had not said anything that could endanger Michelle’s position.“Did you hear them directly, speaking inside the apartment?” Ivana asked again, and Mason shook his head.“Fool!” Ivana cursed at Mason, looking annoyed.“I’m sure, because when they came out of the apartment, Cassandra’s expression didn’t look happy. And besides, that woman—Serena—was drunk, what could you expect? Anyway, she doesn’t even know about Michelle’s whereabouts,” Mason explained to Ivana, while Michelle, who had been silent all along, only listened.Ivana clicked her tongue in irritation. Mason seemed to be worrying only about Michelle, when in truth it was Ivana who would be in trouble first—since she was the one dire
