Chapter 1177 Such A Good Daughter-in- law
Kailee was brimming with satisfaction over what Garrett’s parents had said. As the Harding family expressed their disapproval of
Laney, she knew her plan was falling into place with ease.
Laney had managed to infiltrate the Harding family by virtue of her pregnancy. But without Mr. and Mrs. Harding’s acceptance,
she could be easily ousted by Kailee.
Furthermore, Garrett was notorious for his playboy antics. Surely, he wouldn’t be content with a woman of such ordinary origins?
The more Kailee contemplated, the more smug and self-assured she became. She could practically taste the victory, as if she
could cast Laney aside and ensconce herself in the Harding family in mere moments.
“Mrs. Harding, I must accept my share of the blas well. Had I been more vigilant, none of this would have transpired.”
With practiced restraint, Kailee hid her glee and adopted a contrite expression. “The hospital where Laney resides is owned by
my family. We shall ensure she receives the utmost care and delivers a healthy child.”
Vera found herself increasingly drawn to Kailee. With a tender pat on Kailee’s hand, she said warmly, “Thank you. Please do visit

more frequently. Garrett is constantly occupied with work, and Laney and I have little in common. It’s truly a delight to converse
with you.”
Kailee beamed, “I’m thrilled you feel that way. Mrs. Harding, I’ve heard that Prada has released a stunning new necklace that
would be perfect for you. Shall we go take a look?” Vera also wanted to go shopping. When she heard this, she nodded and
said, “Okay, let’s go and have a look.”
At the boutique, Vera was captivated by the pearl necklace. Just as she prepared to pay, Kailee had already instructed the
saleswoman to wrap it and completed the transaction. “You don’t have to pay for this,” Vera said, with a hint of commendation in
her voice though. Kailee gently smiled. “I couldn’t possibly let an elder pay the bill.”
The saleswoman, handing the packaged jewelry to Vera, couldn’t help but compliment her, “My lady, you are fortunate to have
such a dutiful daughter-in-law.”
Kailee blushed and demurred, I am not her daughter-in-law.”

“Really?” The saleswoman was surprised. “I apologize. You seemed so devoted I assumed you were this lady’s daughter-in-law.”
Vera couldn’t help but ponder the saleswoman’s words.
If only Garrett had chosen Kailee, a woman of equal social standing, impeccable character, and formidable ability. She would

have made a remarkable wife and brought invaluable assets to the Harding Group.
Yet, instead, Garrett had wed an orphan, devoid of pedigree and education, who knew nothing of preserving her husband’s
dignity. She was anything but a good wife!
Vera’s dissatisfaction with Laney only intensified, while her fondness for Kailee grew. Back at the Harding residence, sensing the
opportune moment, Kailee broached another matter, “There’s something else I need your assistance with, Mrs. Harding. Garrett
was quite upset withfollowing his altercation with Laney yesterday. I’d like to find a chance to apologize.”
Impressed by Kailee’s thoughtfulness, Vera assured her, “Not a problem. I’ll handle it.” Vera immediately called Garrett, insisting
he return hat once.
The phone was quickly connected. Vera ordered, “Garrett, cback hnow. I have something to tell you face to face.”
Garrett had no choice but to agree.
After hanging up the phone, Vera patted on Kailee’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. Just tell Garrett what you want to say. He will
understand that it’s not your fault.’ An hour later, Garrett arrived, his eyes icy upon spotting Kailee.
“Why is she here?” Dissatisfied with his cold demeanor, Vera retorted, “Kailee cspecifically to apologize for yesterday’s
incident at the reunion.”
Feigning confusion, Kailee stood and said, “I’m sorry, Garrett. I didn’t look after Laney properly. I hope you can find it in your
heart to forgive me.”
“Since Kailee has apologized, let’s put this matter to rest,” Vera interjected.
Witnessing Kailee’s facade of kindness and Vera’s staunch defense, Garrett’s expression darkened. He scoffed, then spun on
his heel and stormed out without uttering another word.
