Chapter 1239 The Harding Family''s Scandals


    Johanna had booked a private room in the cafe in advance, so Vera and the otherdies followed


    her inside.


    The thought of the Harding family''s recent scandals, as well as Leo''s warning, ran through Vera''s


    mind, and she became very uneasy.


    Considering how much these women loved to gossip, they were definitely going to ask her for


    details on the recent scandals and make fun of her whilst at it.


    This was especially true since they''d all been invited by Johanna.


    She had been very rude to J earlier, so it was almost guaranteed that J and Johanna were


    going to take the opportunity to humiliate her.


    Just as Vera had expected, as soon as the tea and desserts arrived, the wealthydies began to


    gossip as they usually did, chatting away excitedly.


    As the conversations progressed, Vera eventually became the topic of discussion.


    The Harding family''s recent scandals were the most popr topic in their circle.

    Mrs. Lee was the first to ask about it, "Mrs. Harding, we heard that your daughter-inw had to run


    away with her child because of you. Is that true?"


    As soon as she ended her question, all the otherdies joined in and began chipping in their own


    comments.


    "I heard you made a scene at the hospital when you tried to take your granddaughter away," one


    remarked.


    "Yeah, I also heard that your daughter-inw went intobor prematurely because of the assistant


    that you got for her. Is that true?" another asked.


    Vera froze. Her face turned pale as they bombarded her with their questions.


    It was so humiliating!


    She''d never felt this humiliated in her entire life.


    In Vera''s moment of helplessness, unsure how to respond to them, J suddenly spoke up with a


    smile. "Ladies, please don''t bother Mrs. Harding with all these questions. Laney and I are very good


    friends, and I happen to know a thing or two about the issue."


    Upon hearing J''s words, Vera''s heart skipped a beat.


    She knew that J was going to take the opportunity to reveal everything, including how Kailee


    had instigated her to force Laney to leave. It was going to be aplete humiliation for Vera.


    At that point, Vera kept silent, and waited anxiously for J to reveal the truth.


    All thedies looked at J with teeming anticipation, hoping that she''d divulge some shocking


    secrets to satisfy their intense curiosity.


    J smiled softly at them and said, "The truth is, Laney and Garrett just had a small argument,


    and decided to live separately for a while. It had nothing to do with Mrs. Harding."


    Mrs. Lee then asked skeptically, "Really? That''s not what people have been saying."


    The otherdies were equally doubtful of J''s ount.


    The hot topic of Vera mistreating her daughter-inw had been making the rounds in their circles,


    with everyone discussing it into great detail. To them, it was highly unlikely that the situation was as


    simple as J had made it out to be.


    It was difficult for them to believe that Laney had left with her child because of a minor disagreement


    with Garrett.


    How could that be?


    Vera was equally confused, wondering why J was speaking up for her.


    Did she have some trick up her sleeve?


    J smiled and continued, "As you all know, rumors travel faster than true stories. Laney told me


    everything. Mrs. Harding even helped them reconcile with one another."


    J spoke in a very convincing manner, so the gossipydies started to believe her ount of the


    scandals.


    Johanna then also nodded in agreement and added, "Mrs. Harding has been enduring these


    negative assumptions about her in order to take the pressure off Garrett. She is just being protective


    of her son."


    Thedies were skeptical of J''s ount at first, but after Johanna''s reassurance, they


    immediately became convinced. They then felt a unique mixture of sympathy and respect for Vera.


    "I see. That makes perfect sense."


    "I didn''t realize that Mrs. Harding had quietly been tolerating so much."


    "Next time I hear anyone spread these rumors again, I''ll definitely stop them."


    Thedies all remarked one after another.


    Vera''s long-standing worry was finally put to rest.


    In spite of that, she was still puzzled as to why Johanna and J had decided toe to her aid


    and defend her.
