Chapter 811 Tell Vera Harding About It


    J could tell that Kelly had no intention of leaving even after Garrett and Laney had gone. She


    took a deep breath andpelled a smile. "Miss Astley! I wish I could invite you in for a cup of tea


    or something, but the studio is only open to staff."


    "You!" Kelly was furious at J. "Forget it. It''s not worth my while to argue with a rude woman like


    you."


    Snorting, she turned around and walked away with the documents.


    Back in the car, Kelly flung the document onto the passenger seat, trying to suppress her anger.


    She had expected Laney to be a hooligan and that herpanions, insolent.


    She couldn''t deal with Laney herself, it was true, but she could ask someone else to.


    Kelly took out her phone to call Garrett''s mother --Vera Harding.


    Vera was having afternoon tea with other wealthydies. They were discussing the jewelry that was


    up for auction recently.


    Vera excused herself when her phone rang and then went to the garden to take the call.


    "Kelly! What''s the matter?" In a stern voice, she asked, "Shouldn''t you be in a meeting with Garrett


    at this time?"


    "Mr. Harding said that he couldn''t go to the meetingandaskedmetopostponeitto tomorrow." Kelly


    sighed.


    Noticing something was amiss, Vera asked seriously, "What happened?"


    "Nothing," Kelly said in a trembling voice. "Mr. Harding has told me... That I can''t tell anyone about


    it."


    Vera''s face hardened and her eyes sharpened. "What can Garrett do to you when it was I who


    chose you? You can tell me anything, and I''ll take the responsibility."


    Garrett had a history of having affairs with numerous women. Kelly received her degree from a


    reputable overseas institution. She was talented and beautiful. She was a well-chosen spy for Vera.


    Her job was to assist Garrett with business matters, and, at the same time, help Vera deal with the


    women around Garrett.


    Kelly pretended to sound worried. "This has something to do with his wife. Mr. Harding was about to


    hold a meeting when Mrs. Harding interrupted him. She said something and made Mr. Harding


    stay."


    Vera smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. "What did she say?"


    "She asked Mr. Harding to go with her to the restaurant for dinner. She said that being pregnant, it


    was natural for her to feel hungry often. I understand Mr. Harding''s predicament. He is busy with his


    work and wants to back for the meeting, but he can''t refuse his wife." Kelly let out a sigh again.


    "This shareholders'' meeting is crucial, so I''m sorry Mr. Harding postponed the meeting in such a


    way. I''m afraid..."


    "I''ll deal with Garrett," Vera cut in. "In the meantime, send some gifts for the stockholders. We have


    to show them that the Harding family doesn''t n to treat them lightly." Vera spoke in an arrogant


    tone. She grumbled, "I was right in thinking that Laney is not the suitable daughter -inw. You


    should keep telling me about this kind of stuff in the future. Garrett has just taken over thepany,


    so he can''t ck off. It''s for his own good that I send you to help him."


    Kelly smiled. "I see, Mrs. Harding."


    In a upscale restaurant.


    Garrett and Laney were having dinner in a private room.


    "The restaurant''s specialty is their carbonara." Garrett ordered two dishes for Laney. He knew she


    liked creamy food.


    Laney had not allowed herself to eat as much as she wanted for a very long time. She was under


    Vera''s strict diet monitoring. Garret ordered Laney two tes, which she wolfed down because she


    was so hungry today.


    She ate happily, unaware of the cream on the corner of her mouth.


    Garrett was a little amused to see her this way. He grabbed a napkin to wipe the cream from her


    lips. "You''ve seemed more like a child since you became pregnant. It looks like that I will be raising


    two children in the future."

    "I don''t need you to treat me like a child," Laney said stubbornly as she wiped creamy sauce from


    her mouth. "After I''ve given birth, I n to continue working like Tasha."


    She felt envious when she saw Tasha working even if she was pregnant. Thinking of her present


    situation, she couldn''t help but feel a bit sad.
