Chapter 714
Once Garrett had departed, Leo and Vera decided to follow suit, but not before ensuring Laney was in good hands.
“Please, take exceptional care of Laney this time. We can’t afford another incident,” Vera implored, her worry evident. “Keep us
informed of any developments, alright?” L nodded.
“Rest assured, Mrs. Harding?” Leo’s displeasure was unmistakable as he asked, “What exactly transpired today? Why didn’t you
intervene and inform us when Laney and Garrett went to the ss reunion?”
“|... |wasn’t aware,” L stammered, feeling cornered and fearful under Leo’s prating gaze. “Mrs. Harding never mentioned
it to me.” Leo huffed, “If such negligence urs again, you needn''t bother working here!”
L hung her head, biting her I*p and holding her t***ue.
After Leo and Vera had left, L couldn''t help but nce resentfully at Laney in her hospital bed.
She med Laney entirely for her plight. If it hadn’t been for Laney, L would never have faced such a reprimand!
The hospital housing Laney was under the Gibson family''s control, and it didn’t take long for Kailee to receive word of Laney’s
hospitalization.
“Why is she hospitalized? How’s the baby?” Kailee’s voice tinged with anticipation.
The informant on the other end of the line exined, “Apparently, an emotional upheaval triggered some fetal distress. However,
both mother and child are stable. The hospitalization is merely a precautionary measure.”
Kailee’s disappointment was palpable. She had hoped that the incident would have had more serious consequences for the
unborn child. The resilience of Laney’s baby had caught her off guard. noveloz
Despite the unpleasant events at the ss reunion, Kailee’s determination to win Garrett over remained unshaken. She believed
that Garrett''s fury stemmed from concern for the baby, not genuine affection for Laney.
Laney, after all, was a mere bodyguard with no influence or power. Kailee refused to ept that Garrett could truly love
someone like her. This conviction fueled Kailee’s refusal to back down.
However, as direct contact with Garrett was temporarily impossible, she needed to devise an alternate strategy.
With a sly grin and raised eyebrows, Kailee prepared to set her cunning n in motion.
Kailee came up with another n. She decided to visit Garrett’s parents in the hopes of getting a breakthrough in her n. Due
to Laney’s pregnancy, Kailee couldn''t get very close to Garrett for the time being.
As far as she knew, however, the Harding family was very particr about family backgrounds, so it was likely that Garretts
parents weren''t too fond of Laney, as she used to work as a bodyguard.
If Kailee seeded in driving a wedge bet**en Laney and Garrett’s parents, Laney wasn’t going to be able to remain Mrs.
Harding, no matter how tactful she was.
So early in the morning on the second day, Kailee paid the Harding family a visit, bearing many gifts.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Harding. I’m Kailee Gibson, an old ssmate of Garrett''s.
Kailee had been educated for more than ten years on how to conduct herself like a nobledy, so the courtesy and charm she
showed was perfect.
“Oh, it''s you, Kailee. Didn’t you go abroad?” Vera was a bit taken aback by Kailee’s unexpected visit. “When did you return?” she
asked.
Kailee smiled bashfully at her and responded, “I got backst week. I’ve been quite busy with the hospital’s matter, so | didn’t
have time to stop by earlier. | hope you don’t mind.” Out of all of Garrett''s ex-girlfriends, Kailee was admittedly Vera’s favorite.
Not only was she beautiful and from a rich family, but she also had a fabulous personality. Vera remembered how disappointed
she was when she found out that Kailee was going abroad. She had even sent her to the airport herself.
“I''m d you came. You really don’t have toe with gifts, nheless.”
Vera took the gift with a surprised look on her face. “Is this a limited-edition silk scarf? There were only three of them sold
throughout the entire country. I’ve heard that it’s very hard toe by one even with the money. How did you manage to get it?”
“Well as soon as | saw it, | knew it would fit you perfectly, so | made a special request to a friend to book it for you. | hope you like
it, Mrs. Harding.” Kailee wore a graceful smile on her face.
It took her a lot of effort to get the scarf, and she herself also wanted one.
However, if only a silk scarf could win Vera’s favor and pave the way for her to marry into the Harding family, it was worth it.
Vera was very surprised by the gesture. She''d taken a liking to the scarf when she saw a picture of it in a magazine but failed to
book one. She’d never expected Kailee to buy it for her. Not only did it require a lot of money, but also, time and energy.
Immediately, Vera viewed Kailee in a more favorable light. “Good girl. Thank you for the kind gesture.”
Although Leo didn’t say anything, he
was also very happy with the gift
Kailee had gotten him. Her
impromptu visit made him feel a little
strange, nheless. “Are you here
to see Garrett? He''s at the office right
now. | don’t know what time he''ll be
back.” The content is on

To his surprise, however, Kailee sighed and lowered her head with guilt. “To be honest, | came here today to offer Garrett an
apology.”
“An apology?” Leo and Vera were stunned.
With an even more guilty look on her
face, Kailee said, “Laney’s
hospitalization was all my fault. |
didn''t take good enough care of her.
At the school reunion yesterday,
Laney probably felt a bit self-abased
when she met our ssmates and
seemed to have quarreled with
Garrett on the way back. | assume
that’s what caused the fetal
movement.” The content is on

This was an outright lie, however,
Vera believed her. Vera immediately
held Kailee’s hand andforted
her. “It''s not your fault. Laney’s from
a poor family. It’s understandable
that she can’t get over her inferiority
complex.” The content is on

A victorious look shed across Kailee’s eyes, but she maintained her guilty look. “But...”
“No buts. Don’t think about it too much. It’s not your fault,” Vera interrupted her.
The mere thought of Laney and Garrett quarrelling in public made Vera upset. “As a wife, Laney didn’t do well to protect her
husband’s public image and was not sensible at all.”
In a deep voice, Leo also added, ‘It’s her fault that she was hospitalized. She shouldn''t even be running around so much since
she’s so close to giving birth.”
As she lowered her head, Kailee kept silent, but her heart was filled with joy.
As she''d expected, the Harding family was extremely dissatisfied with Laney.
Kailee was brimming with satisfaction over what Garrett''s parents had said. As the Harding family exp**ssed their disapproval of
Laney, she knew her n was falling into ce with ease.
