Chapter 1178 I Reject Your Apology
Upon witnessing Garrett''s tant disrespect, Vera was incandescent with rage. "Enough! Is there
any reverence left in you for me, your own mother?"
It was only then that Garrett halted. He pivoted and eyed the timorous expression on Kailee''s
visage. His words dripped with icy disdain. "It seems youck respect for me, your son. Otherwise,
you wouldn''t have weed into our home the woman responsible for Laney''s hospitalization."
Vera was bbergasted by Garrett''s insolence. Her fury caused her chest to heave tumultuously.
She jabbed a finger toward Garrett, rendered speechless by her ire.
Sensing the opportune moment to gain favor, Kailee demurely lowered her gaze and bit her lip. Her
eyes reddened, and her countenance was etched with contrition. "Garrett, the me is entirely
mine. I offer my most sincere apologies. I shall endure any punishment you see fit. But, I implore
you, do not quarrel with your mother over this matter. Her intentions were pure."
Upon hearing this, Vera''s favorable opinion of Kailee soared, while her animosity towards Laney
intensified.
She held Laney ountable for the rift with Garrett. If not for Laney''s instigation, how could Garrett
have be so defiant?
Yet, she had entirely forgotten that, without Laney, Garrett would never have quit the Larson Group,
much less returned to the Harding Group.
Observing Vera''s shifting demeanor, Kailee was well aware that her words had sessfully swayed
Vera, and her heart swelled with smug satisfaction. While Vera remained blind to Kailee''s ruse,
Garrett perceived it with utmost rity. He retorted frostily, "Your apologies should be directed to my
wife, Laney."
Kailee promptly responded, "I shall apologize to her tomorrow and ask for her forgiveness."
Garrett sneered, "Save your breath. I doubt Laney has any desire to see you now. As her husband,
I reject your apology on her behalf."
With that, Garrett spun on his heel and strode away.
As he reached the door, he uttered a scathing remark, "Refrain from your devious games and cease
bothering Laney."
Tears brimmed in Kailee''s eyes as she choked out, "Mrs. Harding, I apologize. This is all my doing.
But I truly wish to express my remorse. I never anticipated Garrett would misconstrue my intentions
so grievously..."
Vera sighed, gently patting Kailee''s shoulder in constion. "Don''t dwell on it. Garrett is merely
overly concerned for the baby."
As she spoke, a spark ignited in her eyes. "Laney has an assistant named L. Perhaps you could
purchase some gifts and ask the assistant to deliver them as a token of your apology."
An assistant?
A cunning gleam flickered in Kailee''s eyes.

In the studio, J had justpleted Hannah''s outfit. As she prepared to deliver the garments to
Hannah, she suddenly received the message of Laney''s hospitalization.
With Laney on the cusp of giving birth and now unexpectedly hospitalized, J couldn''t help but
fret.
She hastily dialed Laney to inquire about her wellbeing.
Laney quickly answered the call, reassuring her, "Don''t worry. I''m fine. I''m simply in the hospital for
the delivery."
Still concerned, J pressed, "Truly? Have the Harding family caused you any recent
disturbances? Pregnant women mustn''t be troubled. You need to be more cautious."
Touched by J''s solicitude, warmth flooded Laney''s heart. "Fear not. They''ve left me be. I
intended to stay in the hospital for the birth anyway; I''ve merely arrived a few days early."
Relieved, J hung up the phone.
While doctors and nurses were present in the hospital to attend to Laney, ensuring herfort and
convenience, J couldn''t help but question the reliability of Laney''s assistant, L.
Recalling L''s surly demeanor thest time they had interacted, J furrowed her brow in
disapproval.

L, a pawn deployed by Leo, adopted a haughty and cursory attitude in her duties, knowing she
worked under Leo''s protection. How could someone like her be entrusted with Laney''s care?
Suddenly, an ingenious idea sprouted in J''s mind.
