NovelEnglishChapter 1200 Threatening Garrett
Kailee harbored a deep resentment towards Ian, believing that if he hadn’t intervened and stopped Laney, she would have been
able to use the essential oils and induce an undetected premature delivery.
What made matters worse was that Ian was one of Janet’s men.
Despite Kailee not fearing Laney, the thought of going against Janet, who had powerful supporters like the Larson and the White
family, filled her with fear.
With a look of disgust, Garrett brushed off Kailee’s hand and firmly declared, “This is a matter concerning the Harding family and
none of your concern. If there’s nothing else, leave now. I don’t want to see you again.”
Kailee was taken aback by Garrett’s coldness and his clear animosity towards her. She couldn’t believe that he could hate her so
much. But her anger quickly turned into laughter as she pulled out her phone from her bag, handing it over to Garrett. “If I leave
now, I’m going straight to see Laney.”
Garrett was stunned when he saw what was on Kailee’s phone.
He quickly reached for the phone, his expression contorted upon seeing the photos on it, visibly disturbed by the impact of what
he saw.
Upon noticing the tense expression on Garrett’s face, Kailee’s mood suddenly lifted and she spoke in a cheerful tone. “I believe
“Kailee!” Garrett’s hands tightened around the phone as he stared at Kailee, disbelief etched on his face. “What is it that you
want?” he demanded.
Kailee let out a snort of contempt, raising her chin with a smug look as she gazed at Ian.
“First things first, I want you to fire this person,” she declared, pointing an accusing finger at Ian. “We can discuss the other
matters afterwards.” Garrett’s face turned crimson with rage as he glared first at Ian, then at Kailee. His breathing became
labored as he struggled to regain his composure.
While he did consider the idea of firing Ian, Garrett didn’t want to be forced into it by Kailee. Garrett knew that he was in a difficult
situation. If he didn’t do what Kailee wanted, Laney might find out about the photos, which would be disastrous. However, if he
did fire Ian, it would only give Kailee more power over him. Garrett’s mind raced as he weighed the consequences of his actions.
He had never been in a situation like this before, and he felt completely helpless. On one hand, he didn’t want to give in to
Kailee’s demands, but on the other hand, he couldn’t bear the thought of Laney seeing those photos.
With a composed tone, Ian interjected, “I was sent here by Mrs. Larson. Mr. Harding doesn’t have the authority to determine my
employment status.”
Kailee lazily cast a glance at Ian, then turned to the hesitant Garrett and urged him, “He is a mere assistant. You can handle
such a simple thing, can’t you?”
Clenching his fists, Garrett’s eyes shifted between Ian and Kailee, as if trying to weigh the consequences of his next move. After
“Sure, but you need to discuss this with Mrs. Larson before firing me,” Ian calmly replied.
Ian pulled out his phone and dialed Janet’s number. He then handed the phone to Kailee and said, “You talk to her.”
The complacent look on Kailee’s face disappeared in an instant. She didn’t expect Ian to have the audacity to mention Janet’s
nand threaten her.
Ian noticed Kailee’s hesitation to speak with Jand said, “Mrs. Larson specifically instructedto contact her directly if you
ever caround to cause trouble again. I am sure she would be very interested to hear what you have to say.”
As Kailee stood there, the memories of a phone call cflooding back to her mind. It was the day when Laney had given birth
to her baby, and she had received a call from Janet. The voice on the other end had been cold and unyielding, promising to
never let her go if she were to cause problems.
She suddenly panicked and swiftly reached out to grab the phone.
Ian stepped back to avoid Kailee. “Don’t threatenwith Janet!” Kailee stubbornly retorted, This is a matter concerning the
Harding family. Regardless of how powerful Jmay be, is it appropriate for her to meddle in other people’s family affairs?”
Ian maintained a cold gaze on Kailee, but remained silent.
Although Ian was not sure what kind of information Kailee had on her phone that made Garrett so afraid, he wouldn’t just cave in
and quit his job.
Garrett may have been afraid of Kailee’s threats, but Jwas not one to be intimidated by her.
Kailee felt increasingly embarrassed under Ian’s calm gaze. Turning to Garrett, she threatened him openly, “You better take care
of Ian soon, or I can’t guarantee that I won’t go to Laney right away.”
In spite of his reluctance, Garret had no choice but to hang up Ian’s phone. “You go back first. Don’t tell Laney and Jwhat
happened here.”
“Garrett!” Kailee appeared dissatisfied with the outcand declared, “Don’t forget what I’ve got...”
