Chapter 750
Vera’s eyes fell on Natalie, and she sneered, “You really like to stand up for your friends. You made life difficult for the Harding family, again and again, all for Laney’s sake. And now you’re opposing me again for this minor designer.”
Natalie knew that Vera was just here to humiliate her and her friends.
She stopped being polite and said coldly, “Mrs. Harding, you can come at me if you are angry. There is no need to pick on my friend.”
Vera retorted provocatively, “I’m here to get my clothes designed. What’s wrong with that? Are you driving a customer out?” Natalie didn’t want to quarrel with Vera in the studio. She turned around and whispered to Elizabeth, “Help me request a time-out. I’ll handle her outside.”
Elizabeth pulled her sleeve and said worriedly, “She’s purposely here to make trouble. Can you handle it alone?”
Natalie patted Elizabeth’s hand and comforted her, “I can handle it. Don’t worry.”
Elizabeth knew she couldn’t change Natalie’s mind. So, she turned around and left to request a time-out for her.
After Elizabeth left, Natalie looked at Vera calmly and suggested, “Let’s settle our differences outside. I don’t want to inconvenience my co-workers.”
Vera’s intended to embarrass Natalie in public so she wouldn’t leave so easily. “I have nothing to talk to you about. I’m here to get my clothes designed,” she said stubbornly.
Natalie knew Vera’s goal and asked directly, “Don’t you want to know where Laney and her baby are?”
Vera’s fingers slightly froze, and the anger on her face faded a little. She must admit, Natalie had figured out what was on her mind.
Her purpose was not only to humiliate Natalie but also to find out where Laney was. However, Vera still didn’t want to let go of Natalie easily. She denied, “I don’t care where Laney is. She’d better not come back. Ask your boss to come as soon as possible. If the designers can’t do as I request, ask your boss to design it for me in person.”
Natalie had already seen through Vera’s thoughts. She looked at her phone on purpose and feigned a regretful expression. “Laney just sent me many photos of the baby. The baby is so cute. Mrs. Harding, if you don’t want to see them, then forget it. Please wait here while I call my boss over.”
With that, Natalie sighed and turned to leave.
“Wait!” Vera shouted abruptly.
She couldn’t resist the temptation and asked reluctantly, “Where do you want to talk?”
Natalie brought Vera to a newly opened cafe next to the W Marks Studio.
As soon as they sat down, Vera asked impatiently, “Where did you hide Laney and the child?”
Instead of answering her question, Natalie responded firmly, “What do you plan to do with Laney after finding her? Will you arrange for another assistant to spy on her? Or are you planning on just taking the child away?”
Vera leaned back on the chair and sneered, “I won’t do anything to her. It doesn’t matter if she comes back or not as long as she returns my granddaughter to me.”
To her, Laney was someone who had ruined their family. She wanted Laney to disappear forever, but the child was part of the Harding family, so she had to be returned.
Upon hearing Vera’s heartless answer, Natalie felt a strong sense of disgust.
Vera was apparently unaware of her faults and did not regard Laney as family. With a mother-in-law like her, it was no wonder why Laney was so determined to leave.
