The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire Chapter 578: A Coward

Garrett couldn‘t help but cry out in pain.

Upon hearing this, Laney’s face turned pale with fright.

"You‘re not a trained fighter! Get out of here while you still can!"

Garrett spat out a mouthful of blood and glanced at Greg behind him.

Then he asked Laney, "Really? You want me to hide behind you like that wuss?"

But Garrett didn‘t have the time to keep mocking Greg.

The situation was getting more and more critical.

Laney was out of breath after several rounds of fighting.She knew she wouldn‘t be able to last much
longer.

At that moment, she could see blood stains on Garrett‘s wrinkled shirt as he stood firm in front of her.

Stunned for a few seconds, Laney gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up again.

However, before she could rush into the fight, Garrett put his hand on her shoulder and said gently,
"Get behind me."

"What?"

Laney looked up at him in disbelief.However, Garrett was standing against the light, so she couldn‘t see
his face clearly.

"Stay back.I‘ll handle things from here."

Garrett pushed her back.



Then, swinging the baseball bat wildly, he rushed towards the men in front of them.

Just then, the sound of a revving engine suddenly came from the entrance to the alley.

A refitted truck stormed in, and dozens of men immediately got out.

"Mr.Harding!"

Instantly, the thugs‘ faces fell.Before they could make a run for it, Garrett‘s men swarmed in and started
beating up the thugs.

Knowing they were outmatched, the thugs ‘quickly scrambled.

Seeing that they were safe now, Laney immediately went to support Garrett, who looked like he was
about to collapse.

"I’m taking you to the hospital."

"No need.I’m fine.Let‘s deal with your problem first," Garrett said calmly, wincing slightly in pain.

Then, he turned to look at the man that was still hiding in the corner.

Greg was so scared that his legs were shaking and he couldn‘t stand up.

Garrett walked over and pointed at him with the baseball bat, blood dripping from the tip.

"You knew that someone was hunting you yet you asked to stay at Laney‘s place.Why?"

Greg was too shell–shocked to say a word.

Seeing this, Garrett pointed at the guards behind him and said, "If you don‘t start talking, you‘ll end up
like the men who came after you just now."



"No! Okay, okay! I‘ll tell you everything!"

Greg fell to his knees and started babbling, "I borrowed money from them last year but I couldn‘t pay it
back in time.The loan sharks have been chasing after me for a whole year, and I have nowhere to
hide.Coincidentally, I ran into Laney in the street.Laney was always a good fighter.Moreover, I heard
that she‘s a professional bodyguard now, so...So I thought that if she became my girlfriend, she could
protect me from those men."

Garrett was speechless.He poked Greg‘s head with the baseball bat and said with disdain, "You are
such a coward! You expected a woman to protect you?"

Laney was also stunned.She shrugged and said, "No wonder."

She hadn‘t felt anything when she was dating Greg, and Greg had never asked for anything from her
except to hold hands occasionally.

Somehow, now that she knew Greg‘s real intentions, she felt relieved.
