All Chapters of I'm Not A Substitute Wife: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Shofia had just come to see Laura and William. At first she had assumed they would take her and Beckett out of prison, but they had no such intention. Shofia looked disappointed and angry, especially after witnessing the heated argument between William and Beckett.“I thought you’d let us out of here after you’d had your fill of making my daughter die!” Shofia hissed angrily at Laura and William.Laura and William exchanged faint smiles at Shofia’s words. The stepmother showed no remorse for the death of her daughter; Shofia only cared about herself and wanted to get out of prison as soon as possible.“Why would we let you out? Enjoy your sentence,” Laura replied, causing Shofia to click her tongue in annoyance.“Then why are you here? To mock us! Truly unfilial children!” Shofia spat.“Unfilial? Aren’t you the one at fault, Mrs. Shofia? I was never treated like your child, so why should I be filial to you? You’re not even my birth mother—how ridiculous!” Laura shot back, making Willi

Maria came to visit Laura at the Anderson residence after learning that Laura was pregnant again with William Anderson’s child. William had personally asked Maria to keep Laura company, worried that she might feel lonely while he was busy with work.Laura was now under strict protection—so strict that getting permission to leave the house was nearly impossible unless William was with her. Her pregnancy was also being kept secret by William for security reasons, as he still didn’t know who might try to harm his family.“Congratulations, Laura! I was so happy when I heard you’re pregnant again,” Maria said joyfully as she hugged her.Laura smiled warmly. She was truly happy that Maria had come, even though she knew it was likely at William’s request. He didn’t want her to feel lonely while he was still overwhelmed with work. Laura remembered what William had told her the night before—he wanted to finish as much of his work as possible now, so he could later focus on her pregnancy and sp

A few months passed, and surprisingly, Laura’s pregnancy went smoothly. She never felt too tired, bored, or irritated despite being constantly surrounded by guards. William had kept his promise — whenever he had time, he would stay by her side. Even though his work often required him to spend long hours outside or travel abroad for meetings that Samuel couldn’t attend on his behalf, he had managed to finish most of it before Laura entered her third trimester. Now, with her pregnancy reaching seven months, William could finally spend his days fully with his wife, preparing to welcome their child together.Laura couldn’t be happier. William’s constant presence made her days warm and peaceful. Even the babymoon that William had once planned had already come true, leaving her filled with joy. This time, her pregnancy was healthy and safe—no complications, no life-threatening conditions—allowing Laura to truly enjoy this special chapter of her life.“Don’t you feel tired, sweetheart? You’v

Maria entered the jewelry store with a cheerful smile, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she wandered from one display to another. The dazzling lights reflected off countless diamonds and gemstones, leaving her momentarily speechless over which piece to choose. Then, her gaze landed on a diamond necklace — a stunning piece of white gold with delicate brilliance — and she instantly fell in love with it.“Excuse me, could you please show me this one?” Maria asked politely to one of the store attendants.The attendant was about to comply when another woman, standing beside her, abruptly stopped her.“Don’t bother showing it to her,” the woman sneered. “She clearly can’t afford it!”Maria froze, irritation sparking within her. That voice — sharp, familiar, and condescending — made her turn to face the woman. The moment she saw her face, Maria’s expression darkened.“Cruella?” Maria said in disbelief. Of all people, why did she have to run into her here?“Yes, it’s me,” Cruella replied

Now they were gathered in a room; the manager and the owner of the jewelry store had arrived and already knew what had happened in their store. Based on Maria and Mark’s explanation, as well as the store’s CCTV footage, it was very clear that Cruella was at fault for discriminating against a customer.“How could you let this woman work as a shop assistant? This is truly unacceptable,” Mark said to the shop owner.William and Laura did not interfere, knowing that Mark would be able to handle the situation—especially since it directly involved his wife. Laura only hoped they would be fair in their decision regarding Cruella.Meanwhile, Cruella could only bow her head in defeat, for there was nothing she could do. Mark and William were people she couldn’t possibly go against. Even so, deep down she felt furious and jealous of what Maria now had—being married to a man like Mark and trusted by Laura, the rightful owner of Asdorf Wins Corp.“Maria, I just can’t accept it. Why is your life s
