Chapter 1295 Broken Promise


    At eight o''clock the next morning, Brandon was awoken by a phone call.


    Last night, J''s seductive prowess had proved too much for him to resist, and it wasn''t until dawn


    that they ended.


    Exhausted after such intense love-making, Brandon''s mood turned rotten when his phone rang so


    early that morning.


    When he saw that the call was from Garrett, he rudely ended it and tried to go back to sleep.


    To his surprise, Garrett persisted and kept calling.


    Gritting his teeth, Brandon finally picked up the phone and barked, "What the hell are you doing?"


    Garrett''s cheerful voice came buzzing through from the other end. "Laney started talking to me!"


    Brandon''s tone turned menacing. "Did you call just to tell me that?"


    "Of course not!"


    Garrett didn''t notice the irritation in Brandon''s voice at all, and continued to chatter away excitedly, "I


    want to thank you and J for your help! If it weren''t for you two, I would''ve thought Laney was


    going to divorce me. However, she just told me that she didn''t send those things. It seems like she


    might still be in love with me..."


    "You idiot." Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, Brandon hung up immediately.


    If he continued to listen to his drivel, he might end up just as stupid as Garrett.


    Nevertheless, Brandon was happy to hear that the


    two of them had made up.


    Laney was lucky to have a friend like J. Otherwise, if she and Garrett were to have another


    misunderstanding, their already fragile rtionship would surely hang precariously in the bnce.


    At this time, J was also awoken by the phone conversation. She rubbed her eyes and asked in


    a daze, "What''s going on?"

    Brandon cradled her in his arms and whispered, "Nothing, it was just a telemarketer. Let''s go back


    to sleep..."


    "Hmm..." J snuggledfortably in his arms and drifted back to sleep.

    A weekter, J finally finished designing the clothes for Carly''s grandmother after putting in


    several hours of overtime.


    Carly then brought her grandmother to the studio to try on the finished outfit.


    Inside the fitting room, the elderly woman changed into the clothes and stood in front of the mirror,


    trembling lightly as she gazed at herself in the mirror. A slow, contented smile slowly spread across


    her weathered face.


    "It looks magnificent." The corners of the elderly woman''s lips couldn''t help but lift up in joy, and her


    eyes moistened as she said, "I''ve never worn such a beautiful piece of clothing in my entire life."


    Carly''s eyes turned slightly red with tears as she said, "As long as you''re happy with it, grandma, I''ll


    have someone make as many as you want."


    The elderly woman quickly waved her hand and said, "No need for that. I''m quite satisfied with this


    one."


    After a moment, she took Carly''s hand and eximed with deep emotion, "My little Carly''s all grown


    up now and can get me such fine clothes. That''s more than enough to make me very happy."


    As she stood beside them, observing the touching exchange between grandmother and


    granddaughter, J couldn''t help but think of Hannah. A subtle smile appeared on her lips.


    Back when Hannah wore the new clothes she made for her for the first time, a simr scene


    unfolded, with tears of joy filling her eyes as she held J''s hand tightly and told her how much


    she loved it.


    These thrifty and diligent elderly people had worked hard their entire lives, and now the time had


    come for the younger generation to take care of them.


    The elderly woman nced at herself in the mirror over and over again, until she suddenly


    remembered something and quickly turned to J. With a bit of uneasiness in her voice, she


    asked, "Could you please tell me how much this outfit costs?"


    Behind her grandma''s back, Carly immediately gave J a signal with her eyes.


    She wanted J to keep the true cost of the outfit from her grandma. Considering how frugal the


    olddy was, she was surely going to be agitated if she found out how much Carly had paid


    for it.


    She might not even have wanted to wear itter on in a bid to preserve it well.


    This was not what Carly wanted.


    J saw Carly''s signal and gave her a subtle nod, but then proceeded to tell the elderly woman


    the true cost of the design.


    This took Carly by surprise, and a glimmer of anger immediately appeared in her eyes.


    Hadn''t they agreed not to tell her grandmother the real cost? Why did J break her promise?


    J, however, remained calm in the face of Carly''s anger.
