Chapter 555 Hide In My ce


    As Garrett listened to Laney carefully, his eyes grew sharp. He stared at Laney for a long time and


    then sighed, "You are really a troublemaker, aren''t you?"


    Laney had just moved to Barnes—a ce where the Burke family held a lot of power. Because they


    failed to take revenge on Laney today, they were definitely bound to try again.


    Laney stretched her arms and sat leisurely in the back seat of the sports car. She closed her eyes


    and said indifferently, "I''m used to it. It''s normal in this industry. While I make money protecting


    others, my life will always be at stake."


    She paused and then cracked one eye open. She nced at Garrett and coughed awkwardly.


    "Thanks, Mr. Harding."


    "You''re most wee. We''ve known each other for a long time now. We''re friends now, aren''t me?"


    Garrett smiled, waving his hand nonchntly.


    After mulling over it for a while, Laney figured it''d be better to draw a clear line between them. After


    all, she didn''t like owing others any favors. "If you need my help, just call me."


    These words made Garrett feel somewhat alienated. He pulled a long face and muttered, "Why do


    you have to push me away like that?"


    However, Laney suddenly looked serious and she sat bolt upright on alert. She pressed her finger


    to her lips, gesturing at him to shush.


    Garrett felt wronged and opened his mouth to protest, but Laney quickly mped her hand over his


    mouth.


    "Shh. I think someone''s following us." Laney looked back as she spoke.


    As expected, three ck cars were tailing them, just dozens of meters away.


    Garrett frowned and followed her gaze. He pried Laney''s hand off of his mouth and said, "Those


    guys are really something. They caught up to us so soon."


    "Even though they looked afraid of your family just now, it seems they''ll stop at nothing to get to


    me." Laney narrowed her eyes and sat back in her seat. "You can drop me off at a crowded ce


    later. I''ll handle this."


    "Do you have a death wish or something? Do you really think I''ll just sit here and watch you get


    killed?" Garrett cried indignantly.


    Turning to Jarrod, he then barked, "Keep driving." He turned to Laney again and said seriously, "You


    can''t go back to the hotel now. Those people are just waiting for an opportunity to attack you. If they


    see you alone, they''ll definitely take action."


    Laney thought about it for a moment and then shook her head. "I''lle up with something. I don''t


    want to get you or your family involved in this."


    Suddenly, Garrett''s eyes lit up. "I have an idea. Why don''t you hide at my ce for a while? They


    won''t dare to break in."


    Laney pursed her lips hesitantly.


    "I won''t get involved. I doubt they''ll dare to offend the Harding family," Garrett said confidently. Then,


    his expression darkened. "Don''t you get it? You won''t be able to survive out there alone."


    "Fine," Laney finally said.


    Soon, the car pulled into Garrett''s mansion.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    As soon as Garrett got out of the car, he opened the door and grabbed Laney''s arm, pulling her into


    the house.


    "I live here alone. Do you want me to show you around?"


    "No, thanks. Just tell me which room I''ll be staying. I can also take the couch if needed," Laney said


    tly.


    As she spoke, she headed straight to the closed curtain and peeked through the crack vigntly.


    "They''re lurking outside. I doubt they''ll give up. Do you have a gun here?"
