Chapter 829 The Pungent Smell Of Cheap Perfume
Kelly''s mind was in a mess.
What Vera had said greatly surprised her.
It was only a matter of time before she connected all the clues and figured out J''s identity.
Kelly was abroad getting her medical treatment, so she didn''t know much about what had happened
back home. When she came back, her colleagues filled her in with some big news while she was
away. She hadn''t learned that Brandon got married till then. She didn''t look into the matter and
certainly didn''t know who Brandon had married.
Kelly would have never imagined J to be the person, mainly because she didn''t expect Laney
would know such a big shot as Mrs. Larson!
Laney used to be a bodyguard, right? How could she be possibly connected to Brandon''s wife in
any way?
Immediately, Kelly''s face darkened. She then leaned over to look at J''s ne. She feigned a
smile and said, "I''ve never seen such a huge diamond before. But of course, Mrs. Larsen has
excellent taste. Only you will look so good with this ne."
Kelly unwillingly praised J. She had never in her life felt so resentful and angry.
J smiled a half-hearted smile. And then, she covered her nose and sneezed repeatedly.
"Have you caught a cold?" Vera asked worriedly as she held her arm.
J waved her hand in response. "No. It''s just that I''m not used to the smell of cheap perfume.
Miss Astley, would you mind staying away from me?"
J''s nose was a little red. She pretended to be worried as she looked at Laney. "The smell of
Kelly''s perfume is quite offensive. Can Laney bear it? Even non-pregnant women like me want to
throw up, how much more would it be for Laney?"
J was no pushover, especially so when it came to her friend.
Kelly dared to pick on Laney in front of her, and so J had to fight back.
What J said was just a reminder to Kelly. As the secretary of Garrett, Kelly ought to respect
Laney.
Kelly flushed and turned to look at J indignantly. How could J say that she used cheap
perfume in front of so many people!
Vera cast a cool nce at Kelly.
She could tell that the perfume was not the issue here. Perhaps Kelly had said something to
displease J.
Vera, however, didn''t want to mess with the Larson Group. In a soft voice, she said, "Kelly, maybe
you should leave."
Kelly clenched her fists. She had no choice but leave. "Yes, Mrs. Harding, I will wait outside for
you," she said as she held back her anger.
Laney slightly bowed her head, clutching J''s hand. She felt deeply moved by what J did.
Vera sighed with relief. She looked at Laney and said in a softer tone, "Laney, you still have a lot of
things to learn from J. As you can see, J behaves well. Because she knows that Brandon
has a social engagement, she will find herself something else to do. You can do what she does.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
Don''t stick with Garrett all the time. Like today, since he is not here, you can go with me and meet
new people."
Laney became a little nervous. She had never been afraid before, regardless of how powerful the
enemy was. But Vera being here with her made her feel very scared.
J felt that Laney was holding her hand more tightly.
"Mrs. Harding, do you mind if I have a few words with Laney?"
"Go ahead."
J pulled Laney aside and told her, "Look, it''s not really a big deal. Think of them as potatoes,
and you''ll do just fine. That''s what I used to do. You are lovely and wless right now. Thosedies
are simply amazed at you. It''s Garrett''s loss that he didn''t see you today."
Laney managed a smile, but only a faint one. "Thank you. I''m so d you''re here. If not, I wouldn''t
know what to do," Laney said appreciatively.
"Laney, it''s time for us to go." Vera reminded her in a quiet voice.
J looked at Laney positively before watching Vera take Laney away.
"What happened just now?"
"You scared me! Why didn''t you make any noise when you walked?" J gave her chest a pat.
She didn''t know when Brandon had approached her.
