Chapter 748
Chapter 748 With a huff, Vera said dismissively, “You're the one who drove Laney away with her child, remember? Don’t be hypocritical. Get out. You're not welchere.” Now completely on guard against Kailee, Vera feared falling prey to her deceptions once more.
Otherwise, she would definitely becthe biggest laughing stock of their circle.
Realizing Vera wouldn't budge, Kailee offered tearful apologies several more times before departing, dejected.
The moment she stepped outside, she swiftly wiped away her tears. A wicked smile overtook her remorseful expression.
In her mind, Kailee seethed at Natalie, the vile woman responsible for her plan’s failure. Had it not been for her meddling, she would have married into the Harding family long ago! Though she couldn't retaliate against Natalie directly, she could still manipulate Vera to confront Natalie.
She relished the thought of Natalie's reaction when the Harding family cknocking with rebuke.
As for Laney...
A bone-chilling smile cover Kailee’s face. Her plan’s exposure didn’t mean her chances with Garrett were dashed.
As long as the Hardings kept hounding Laney, perhaps even fighting for custody, the rift between Laney and Garrett would only widen.
Eventually, it would becirreparable.
At that point, Laney would definitely divorce Garrett, providing Kailee with another opportunity to draw near Garrett.
She had sacrificed so much, even her reputation, just to marry into the Harding family.
Though her plans had gone awry, she refused to surrender.
One way or another, she was determined to becthe future matriarch of the Harding family.
That day, Natalie was working on a new clothing design draft early in the morning when she suddenly received a message text from Laney.
“Thank you, Natalie. I've settled into the new city, and lan is still as caring and professional as always. He takes good care of bothand the child.” Natalie subconsciously smiled when she saw the text.
It seemed like Laney and her child were doing well in the new city. Knowing that put her mind at ease.
However, when she thought about Garrett, she felt a little gloomy.
She didn’t know if what she did for Laney would lead to a worse outcfor she and Garrett's relationship, especially since being separated could pose a big challenge to any relationship.
After pondering for a while, Natalie sent a text to Laney, saying, “Laney, would you consider giving Garrett another chance? I feel like he knows what he did wrong this time.” Natalie's text received no response for quite a while.
After several minutes, Laney finally replied. However, she didn’t answer Natalie's question. “Take care of yourself, okay? I'll tell you as soon as the baby’s nhas been decided.” Natalie let out a sigh.
It seemed like Laney still hadn't made up her mind about how to approach Garrett and the future of their relationship yet.
Laney was still blaming Garrett, and Natalie knew that. If he wouldn’t be able to heal the wounds in her heart, Laney and their child would probably never return.
Natalie, however, could tell that Laney was living quite a relaxing life in the other city. She had got rid of the repression and constraints she had experienced in Barnes.
Perhaps life over there was more suitable for Laney.
Contemplating the situation, Natalie found herself increasingly uncertain. On the one hand, she couldn't help but feel happy for Laney for finally finding herself again. But on the other hand, she was worried about Garrett.
Suddenly, Elizabeth snapped Natalie out of her thoughts and shouted, “Natalie, check out the trending topics!” “What's the matter?” Natalie asked as she turned over to where Elizabeth was.
Elizabeth excitedly rushed over to Natalie and handed her the phone. “Look at this woman in the photos. Doesn't she look familiar?” Natalie's eyes widened in shock. She was surprised to find that the person in the pictures was actually Hannah.
In the pictures, Hannah was smiling while holding a child’s hand as the golden field. Even more surprisingly, she was wearing the clothes designed by Natalie.
The child beside her also had a bright, enthusiastic smile. Just their brilliant smiles alone were enough to brighten up a person’s day.
As Natalie carefully analyzed the photo, Elizabeth spoke up.
“The photos were taken by an artist by chance. Once they were released, the photos instantly went viral. They have also sparked discussions on social media platforms. Everyone is trying to figure out who the lady was, and who designed the clothes that she wore. When I found out it was Hannah, I thought you might want to see the photos.” Natalie scrolled through the comments, and as Elizabeth told her, the users were praising Hannah's clothes.
Several users were expressing their desire to buy the sdesign for their own relatives to wear.
Other users even wanted to commission the designer behind Hannah's clothes to make other garments.
Elizabeth enthusiastically snapped her fingers as she added, “I think this would be an amazing chance to promote your design studio!” Natalie's eyes lit up when she saw how much the commenters praised her designs.
She then nodded and replied, “You're right. This is a great opportunity.” “I think you should contact this artist right away and use this opportunity to advertise your studio,” Elizabeth suggested. “The artist's contact information should be on their profile page.” Natalie nodded. It didn’t take long for her to find the artist's phone number. She took several deep breaths to ease her nervousness before she eagerly dialed the number.
“Hello.” The stranger's voice brought a vague sense of familiarity to Natalie, but she couldn't pin it down to a face.
She replied politely, “Hello, is this Mr. Clyde Lambert, the artist?”
