Chapter 751
Natalie welcomed her with a bright smile as she walked over to Johanna, held her arm, and led her to sit down from across Vera.
Noticing Johanna’s smile, Vera was a bit embarrassed and asked, “Mrs. White, how did you find the time to come here?”
“I was just passing by,” Johanna said with a faint smile, nodding her head. “But I wasn’t expecting to see Mrs. Harding lecturing my daughter.”
Vera could sense that Johanna had come to support Natalie.
Her expression darkened and she said, “Mrs. White, since you’ve seen it, I would like to ask you to discipline your daughter. Tell her to stop meddling in other people’s family matters.”
Johanna remained calm when facing her accusation and said, “My daughter has always been me to discipline her. Besides, you don’t have the right to point fingers at my daughter.”
Vera sneered, “I’ve never seen a girl in our social circle who meddles in other people’s family affairs as your daughter does.”
Despite Vera’s harsh words, Johanna didn’t lose her cool and replied, my daughter’s close friend, and she was only helping a friend in need. How is that wrong?”
“You!” Words got stuck in Vera’s throat.
She did not expect Johanna to be as eloquent as Natalie, which put her at a loss for words.
Although Johanna was still wearing a gentle smile, her words were razor-sharp. “If Laney were my friend, I would have already made her divorce Garrett. And Natalie was only helping them get a temporary separation to calm down, which has already saved the Harding family’s face enough.”
“Johanna White! Don’t go too far!” Vera’s face turned red and livid from anger.
She did not expect Johanna to be so protective of her daughter while completely disregarding the most basic etiquettes in their social circle.
Johanna smiled calmly and said, “Mrs. Harding, Natalie has already helped your family save face. She has no ill intentions towards your family. It’s not her fault that she wants to protect her friend.”
Clenching her fists, Vera hissed, “Fine. I don’t want to argue with you here. I hope Laney can divorce Garrett soon. She’s nothing but a troublemaker. As long as she gives the baby back to us, she can go anywhere!”
Upon hearing that, Johanna’s smile gradually faded. “Mrs. Harding, Laney almost died giving birth to her daughter. Not only did your family fail to protect her, but you also want to take her daughter away from her? That’s absurd.”
Vera opened her mouth to argue, but Johanna cut her off coldly, “We’ve already saved you and Garrett from embarrassment. Or else, this matter would not have been so easy for you.”
Vera’s face twisted in fury. She got up to confront them and made to shout, but she caught a glimpse of some ladies from their social circle entering the cafe.
Panicking, Vera recalled Leo’s warning. He had told her not to meet these women, but now it was too late.
The ladies walked straight to them.
“Mrs. White, you’re here so early! We’re sorry to have kept you waiting,” one of them greeted Johanna warmly.
“Oh, don’t worry about it. I just got here myself. Please, take a seat,” Johanna replied with a smile.
Natalie also greeted the ladies courteously.
