NovelEnglishChapter 833 No One Can Bully Laney
As Kelly and Laney walked out of the manor, Kelly could sense the tension between Garrett and Vera.
Stepping forward, Kelly spoke on Vera's behalf.
"Mr.Harding, it has nothing to do with Mrs.Harding.We had no idea that our business partners would suddenly cto visit.This
wasn't anticipated.You can't blyour mother for it."
Noticing Kelly's eagerness to protect Vera, Garrett suspected that she was also involved.He looked at Kelly coldly.
"Aren't you my secretary?" he asked.
"Do you also work part-tas a housekeeper for my family? I was receiving the business partners at the office, while you have
tto attend this dinner party with Laney and my mother?"
He knew that Vera had arranged for Kelly to keep an eye on him, but he hadn't considered it a threat.
Since Kelly was able to keep those women he fooled around from badgering him, the arrangement had also reduced sof his
pressures.
Now, however, he wanted to get rid of all these annoying people including Kelly, so that none of them could hurt Laney! Kelly
was speechless.
Glancing at Kelly and Vera, he waved Laney over, saying, "Chere.We're going home."
them.
"Garrett, where are you going?" Vera asked.
She had remembered something Kelly had said, and was suddenly alert.
Kelly had told her that Garrett had a villa and was planning to move out with Laney.
"l used to turn a blind eye to these things, but I won't anymore," Garrett said firmly.
Taking Laney's hand, he continued, "Laney has sacrificed a lot for me.I won't let her suffer any more."
He then left, with Laney at his side.
Vera was in shock.
Garrett's reproachful tone had left her angry and aggrieved.
How could he say such things to his own mother?! She had sacrificed for him more than Laney had ever done! Kelly was so
surprised that she forgot to reach out to stop him.
Laney was led towards the car by Garrett.
As she was about to step into her seat, she noticed that one of the front headlights was broken, and there was a scratch in the
paint beside it.
It looked as though the car had been in an accident.
Before she could ask anything, Garrett told the driver that he was off duty for the night, and then sat in the driver's seat.
She leaned back against the seat, eyes closed.
Assuming she was still angry, Garrett said "Honey?" a couple of times in quiet voice.
Laney didn't respond, so Garrett gave up and continued to drive in silence.
Afraid that Laney might catch a cold, he pulled the car over and covered her with a blanket.He then pulled back out onto the road
and kept driving.
Laney, covered in the blanket, suddenly burst into laughter and turned to glare at him.
When Laney had heard what Garrett said to Kelly and Vera, she'd wanted to laugh, but was also afraid that Vera would react
poorly.
Seeing Laney cover her mouth and laugh happily, Garrett smiled.
"At first, I thought that I'd be able to finish the company's affairs well before the dinner party," Garrett explained.
"I didn't realize until later that they were stalling for time.The reason I couldn't answer your call was that I was showing them
around the office.I'm sorry to make you suffer."
Garrett held her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Laney listened patiently and immediately felt much better.
Looking at the front of the car, she asked, "What's wrong with the headlight?"
Garrett hesitated, clearly embarrassed.
"On my way there, I received a message from Brandon.I got anxious and sped up, so...No worries though.It was just a small
accident.The headlight was the only thing that was damaged."
Laney was shocked.
"What?" she sputtered.
Shaking off Garrett's hand, she said, "Stop the car immediately."
