With a huff, Vera said dismissively, “You’re the one who drove Laney away with her child, remember?
Don’t be hypocritical. Get out. You’re not wee here.”
Nowpletely on guard against Kailee, Vera feared falling prey to her deceptions once more.
Otherwise, she would definitely be the biggestughing stock of their circle.
Realizing Vera wouldn’t budge, Kailee offered tearful apologies several more times before departing,
dejected.
The moment she stepped outside, she swiftly wiped away her tears. A wicked smile overtook her
remorseful expression.
In her mind, Kailee seethed at Natalie, the vile woman responsible for her n’s failure. Had it not been
for her meddling, she would have married into the Harding family long ago!
Though she couldn’t retaliate against Natalie directly, she could still manipte Vera to confront
Natalie.
She relished the thought of Natalie’s reaction when the Harding family came knocking with rebuke.
As for Laney…
A bone-chilling smile came over Kailee’s face. Her n’s exposure didn’t mean her chances with
Garrett were dashed.
As long as the Hardings kept hounding Laney, perhaps even fighting for custody, the rift between
Laney and Garrett would only widen.
Eventually, it would be irreparable.
At that point, Laney would definitely divorce Garrett, providing Kailee with another opportunity to draw
near Garrett.
She had sacrificed so much, even her reputation, just to marry into the Harding family.
Though her ns had gone awry, she refused to surrender.
One way or another, she was determined to be the future matriarch of the Harding family.
That day, Natalie was working on a new clothing design draft early in the morning when she suddenly
received a message text from Laney.
“Thank you, Natalie. I’ve settled into the new city, and Ian is still as caring and professional as always.
He takes good care of both me and the child.”
Natalie subconsciously smiled when she saw the text.
It seemed like Laney and her child were doing well in the new city. Knowing that put her mind at ease.
However, when she thought about Garrett, she felt a little gloomy.
She didn’t know if what she did for Laney would lead to a worse oue for she and Garrett’s
rtionship, especially since being separated could pose a big challenge to any rtionship.
After pondering for a while, Natalie sent a text to Laney, saying, “Laney, would you consider giving
Garrett another chance? I feel like he knows what he did wrong this time.”
Natalie’s text received no response for quite a while.
After several minutes, Laney finally replied. However, she didn’t answer Natalie’s question. “Take care
of yourself, okay? I’ll tell you as soon as the baby’s name has been decided.”
Natalie let out a sigh.
It seemed like Laney still hadn’t made up her mind about how to approach Garrett and the future of
their rtionship yet.
Laney was still ming Garrett, and Natalie knew that. If he wouldn’t be able to heal the wounds in her
heart, Laney and their child would probably never return.
Natalie, however, could tell that Laney was living quite a rxing life in the other city. She had got rid of
the repression and constraints she had experienced in Barnes.
Perhaps life over there was more suitable for Laney.

Contemting the situation, Natalie found herself increasingly uncertain. On the one hand, she couldn’t
help but feel happy for Laney for finally finding herself again. But on the other hand, she was worried
about Garrett.
Suddenly, Elizabeth snapped Natalie out of her thoughts and shouted, “Natalie, check out the trending
topics!”
“What’s the matter?” Natalie asked as she turned over to where Elizabeth was.
Elizabeth excitedly rushed over to Natalie and handed her the phone. “Look at this woman in the
photos. Doesn’t she look familiar?”
Natalie’s eyes widened in shock. She was surprised to find that the person in the pictures was actually
Hannah.
In the pictures, Hannah was smiling while holding a child’s hand as the golden field. Even more
surprisingly, she was wearing the clothes designed by Natalie.
The child beside her also had a bright, enthusiastic smile. Just their brilliant smiles alone were enough
to brighten up a person’s day.
As Natalie carefully analyzed the photo, Elizabeth spoke up.
“The photos were taken by an artist by chance. Once they were released, the photos instantly went
viral. They have also sparked discussions on social media tforms. Everyone is trying to figure out
who thedy was, and who designed the clothes that she wore. When I found out it was Hannah, I
thought you might want to see the photos.”
Natalie scrolled through thements, and as Elizabeth told her, the users were praising Hannah’s
clothes. Several users were expressing their desire to buy the same design for their own rtives to
wear.
Other users even wanted tomission the designer behind Hannah’s clothes to make other
garments.
Elizabeth enthusiastically snapped her fingers as she added, “I think this would be an amazing chance
to promote your design studio!”
Natalie’s eyes lit up when she saw how much thementers praised her designs.
She then nodded and replied, “You’re right. This is a great opportunity.”
“I think you should contact this artist right away and use this opportunity to advertise your studio,”
Elizabeth suggested. “The artist’s contact information should be on their profile page.”
Natalie nodded. It didn’t take long for her to find the artist’s phone number. She took several deep
breaths to ease her nervousness before she eagerly dialed the number.
“Hello.” The stranger’s voice brought a vague sense of familiarity to Natalie, but she couldn’t pin it
down to a face.
She replied politely, “Hello, is this Mr. Clyde Lambert, the artist?”
