Chapter 728
Laney maintained a firm expression and spoke with assurance. “Garrett may be immature, but he is not a bad person. Despite the significant disparity in our social status, he has remained devoted and considerate to me ever since we got married. I trust that he would never be unfaithful. Ian, I’m aware that Garrett hasn’t been treating you well lately. That’s entirely his responsibility.” Laney offered a regretful smile and continued, “You are an exceptional and competent personal assistant. I will have a frank conversation with Garrett and urge him to let go of his biases.”
Ian hung his head, declining to speak any further. In essence, he was even more uncertain about how to confess the truth to Laney.
Laney had complete faith in Garrett. If Garrett were to betray her trust, it would deal a devastating blow to her.
How could he muster the courage to tell her that?
Just as Ian found himself caught in a quandary, his phone unexpectedly began to ring. The caller was Natalie.
“Pardon me, would it be alright if I answer the phone?” Ian asked politely.
Upon receiving Laney’s consent, he stepped outside to take the call.
“Ian, I was occupied with work and didn’t hear my phone ring. Is everything alright?”
Natalie sounded perplexed as she inquired over the phone.
Following a brief pause, Ian ultimately resolved to disclose Garrett’s unusual behavior to Natalie. As Laney’s closest confidante and Ian’s employer, he trusted that Natalie would be able to uncover the truth.
A luxurious Maybach sped along the winding road, heading towards the wealthiest area in Barnes.
In the warmth and comfort of the car, Natalie sat at the back, her frown deepening as she listened to Ian’s report through the phone. Ian told her every single suspicious move of Garrett’s.
“What? Are you sure of what you’re saying?” Natalie’s eyebrows furrowed in disbelief. She just had to be sure that Ian wasn’t mistaken.
“Of course, I’m sure!” Ian answered immediately. Natalie stayed silent for a moment, deep in her thoughts. But Sean, who was driving, couldn’t stay quiet after what he had heard. “Mr. Harding is going too far! His wife is still on her way to recovery after giving birth to his child in critical condition. How can he, in good conscience, cheat on her?”
Natalie was also angry, but she calmed down and tried to reason things out. It wouldn’t help to act out of anger.
She caught Sean’s eyes through the rear-view mirror and shook her head for him to recover himself.
With a heavy sigh, she said into the phone, “Ian, keep this from Laney for now, okay? Let me look into it first.”
After hanging up, she leaned back into the seat and gently massaged her temples. She was starting to feel a headache coming on from all these.
What the hell did Kailee have on Garrett to make him acting this way?
Was Ian right? Did Garrett really cheat on Laney?
Seated by Natalie in the car, Brandon watched her and sighed softly in resignation.
He had come to pick Natalie up after work to take her out on a nice date. But of course, Garrett just had to ruin it in one way or the other.
