Chapter 1240 The Rumor Was Scotched
With Johanna''s and J''s exnation, the group of wealthy women began to feel that Vera was
actually a great mother-inw.
And they decided to help scotch the rumor for her.
Johanna smiled while persuading Vera, "You don''t need to worry about the children anymore. They
have their own life. I used to worry about J and Brandon as well, but they''re managing their
lives so well!"
Vera finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You''re right. I was probably worrying too much about
them."
"That''s right. If you get worried again, you can have afternoon tea with us just like you used to,"
said Johanna with a smile while pouring Vera a cup of ck tea.
Completely rxed, Vera took a delicate sip of her tea, and her smile was bing more sincere.
"You''re right, Mrs. White."
Johanna smiled and said, "I think I should invite you more often to our tea parties in the future, and I
hope Mrs. Harding would honor us with your presence."
Although Vera wasn''t sure of Johanna''s ulterior motives, she could only nod and agree because of
thedies surrounding them.
"I would be honored to join you."
The otherdies also moved onto other gossip and let go of the Harding family''s scandals.
After finishing their tea, thedies left one by one, while Vera remained seated.
Once other women had all left, Vera looked at J in confusion and asked, "Why did you help
me? It did not benefit you in any way."
J smiled and said, "I didn''t want to harm your reputation. I only argued with you earlier so that
Laney could live a peaceful life without any disturbances for a while."
Vera''s anger had already faded away when J spoke up for her in front of thosedies.
Now that Vera was calm, she thought about it from J''s perspective and realized that what J
had said was right.
After all, she was manipted by Kailee. If Laney continued to stay in Barnes, she and her baby
could likely be subjected to serious harm.
"But... The baby..." Vera hesitated, unwilling to let go of her misgivings.
She hadn''t had many chances to see her granddaughter before Laney took the baby away.
J sighed and said, "I know you''ve always cared about your granddaughter, but a good family
environment is essential for her growth. You don''t want her to grow up without her mother''s care
and love, do you?"
Vera knew J''s words was reasonable, so she had no choice but to nod and said, frustrated, "I
just miss the child too much."
"I understand how you feel."

J took out her phone and showed Vera a photo. "This is your granddaughter, and Laney is
taking very good care of her, so please rest assured."
The baby in the photo was cute and had chubby cheeks, innocently and adorably sucking her
thumb.
Atst, Vera saw her longed-for granddaughter, and even though it was just a photo, it brought tears
of joy to her eyes.
She kept ncing at the picture, touching the baby''s cheeks through the screen, and said, "She''s
really cute. She looks just like Garrett did when he was young."
Slowly, Vera''s lingering misgivings finally dissipated.
"Since the baby is doing well, I''m d."
Vera reluctantly took her eyes off the photo and added, "However, I still hope that you can persuade
Laney toe back soon. As elders, we cannot help but worry when she is out there alone with her
child."
J nodded and assured, "Please don''t worry. I trust that Garrett and Laney can handle their
rtionship and take good care of the child."
Having heard J''s reassurance, Vera left, contented.
Watching her receding figure, J breathed a sigh of relief.
"You''ve been working hard. Don''t think too much about Garrett and Laney''s matters. Let them solve
it themselves," Johanna said, patting her daughter''s back.
J sighed and stated, "I can''t really intervene in their rtionship issues, anyway."
She suddenly held Johanna''s hand. "Mom, thank you. If you hadn''te in time and brought in
thosedies, I''m afraid Mrs. Harding wouldn''t have cooled down so soon."
