Chapter 1233 She Refused To Surrender
"Mrs. Harding, please hear me out," Kailee pleaded, her eyes turning red as tears streamed down
her face. "I was just too fond of Garrett, so I lost my head and did something wrong. I came to
apologize to you today."
Vera looked at Kailee with suspicion, knowing that this woman was up to no good.
Despite that, Vera couldn''t help but feel a bit sympathetic as she gazed at Kailee crying so pitifully.
Was it true that Kailee had simply been too enamored with Garrett, and as a young girl, had been
carried away by her emotions, leading her to do those foolish things?
"Are you telling me the truth?" Vera hesitated and asked.
Kailee quickly nodded and assured her, "Yes, I am! You''re the elder I respect the most, and my
feelings for Garrett overwhelmed me. Seeing him marry filled me with such sorrow that I acted
irrationally. Please, believe me."
Vera almost wanted to console Kailee, but then she recalled Leo''s warning. Her face darkened
again as she said, "I ept your apology, but please leave. You''re not wee in our family."
Seeing Vera so guarded against her, Kailee gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them.
If she had aplished her goal, she wouldn''t be wasting time with this old biddy!
As Kailee remained standing there, Vera grew impatient, urging her away, "Leave, now!"

After her sympathy ploy failed, Kailee cut to the chase, "Actually, Mrs. Harding, there''s something
else I need to tell you today."
Vera''s eyebrows furrowed, her demeanor guarded. "What now? Are you here to cause more
chaos?"
"I know where Laney went," Kailee revealed, handing Vera a photograph.
"ording to my investigation, it was a member of the White family who escorted Laney to the
airport. The one who helped her escape was none other than J, the young heiress of the White
family," Kailee borated.
Hearing this, Vera was momentarily stunned.
Studying the photograph, a sudden revtion struck her about the peculiar situation.
The White family''s intervention exined theck of information on Laney and her child''s
whereabouts.
As tears streamed down her cheeks, Kailee implored, "Just ask J—she''ll know where to find
Laney. It''s the least I can do to help."
Vera, though now informed about Laney, remained incensed with Kailee''s role in instigating the
entire ordeal.
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 J, 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 J directly, she could still manipte Vera to confront
J.
She relished the thought of J''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.
