Semua Bab I'm Not A Substitute Wife: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Laura was now calming herself after receiving the latest information about Beckett, her biological father, who had never wanted her to exist in this world—just as he had always hated Vivian, her biological mother. He was a man who should have been a loving father and family figure, yet never was.William’s wife now felt as though she was alone, unwanted by those who should have cherished her. At first, the beautiful woman always believed she would live her life alone, without any happiness to accompany her. But then God helped her in an unexpected way—through marriage to William, which had begun merely as a substitution. And now Laura truly had become a happy woman, despite all the troubles in her family, because she had William and her mother-in-law, who loved her. At last, she felt the warmth of the family she had always hoped for.“Arranged marriages, business marriages rarely turn out harmonious. But did that man really have to go that far?” Laura said in disbelief, reacting to wh

The next day, Laura was ready to face the two companies that would soon be hers, holding the majority of shares. In addition, Laura was determined to overthrow Beckett from everything he considered his power, when in fact none of it truly belonged to him. Beckett, who in the beginning, never had anything at all.However, it was not that easy at first for her to claim what was rightfully hers, since many still remained loyal to Laura’s biological father. Until now, she had finally found a way to ensure Beckett could no longer fight back.A great secret that Beckett had hidden all this time—one that left Laura with no trace of compassion for her father. She never imagined he would be capable of doing all that, only to seize what was never his, all for the sake of Shofia and Michelle’s happiness, but in such a twisted way.“Starting with your mother’s company, everything will soon be fine,” William said to Laura, who looked pensive before leaving for the company.Laura nodded. “I want th

“Mr. Beckett committed murder? But didn’t Vivian die of heart disease?” asked one of them.Those who had once worked under Vivian’s leadership were, of course, shocked when they heard the news. Naturally, they were shaken if it turned out to be true, because they had truly respected Vivian.“That’s right, but at first my mother’s heart condition had already been treated, and it was very strange when her improving health suddenly declined, leading to her death. Regarding this matter, we have strong evidence, witnesses, and even a nurse who worked with them. So, will you still stand on his side, or will you stand on mine?!” Laura asked with firmness.Laura did not want to linger in the drama of reclaiming her assets—she wanted this finished as soon as possible. She was exhausted and longed for peace, even though there were still greater problems she had yet to resolve, shadows that still threatened her safety and the people around her.After hearing all of Laura’s words, along with the

Elsewhere, Cassandra and Elara had also learned about Beckett and Shofia’s arrest. The news shocked them both—especially Cassandra, who was only beginning to see the true nature of her brother-in-law’s father and her stepmother. Given the charges filed, Cassandra thought it unlikely they would be released anytime soon.“There’s only one left: Laura’s half-sister, Michelle. After that, their lives could be calm and peaceful—if only it were that easy. That crafty woman is clever at hiding. But if Michelle truly disappears and never shows herself again, that might actually be for the best,” Elara said.“That’s not the reality,” Cassandra replied. “Michelle is hiding to plot—to make Laura vanish, or to make her feel what Michelle felt: losing everything. Poisoning our mother was the start of Michelle’s plan,” Cassandra said, making Elara stare at her daughter.“You speak as if you’ve accepted Laura?” Elara asked.“Could I refuse, when you and William’s family treat her so kindly? I really

“Damn it! You’re just a child who knows nothing—you have no right to bring me down!” Kendrick snarled at Laura.“Laura has every right! She is my rightful successor. I no longer hold a major role in this company—you should know that, Kendrick!” Dominic said, anger and heartbreak in his voice, as the man he had trusted betrayed him in his final years.Dominic had hoped Kendrick would help Laura manage the company he had fought to keep strong and respected for so long. Dominic knew that running such a large company, especially for Laura who was new to the business world, would not be easy.But in reality, Kendrick never stood by his decision. Instead, he sided with Beckett—the son Dominic had disowned—and tried to destroy everything.“Grandfather, thank you for everything. All these problems truly make me sick, but I can’t hate you. You may be the only family who has ever loved me. Let the past stay in the past. I just want to live peacefully now, without being haunted by those old woun
