Chapter 1199 Ian Fell In Love With Laney
Garrett was caught off guard by Ian’s blunt refusal, causing him to raise the stakes as he said, “If you don’t think it’s sufficient, I
can provide an additional six months’ worth of salary.”
Ian remained resolute, shaking his head. “Only when Mrs. Larson personally terminates my employment or when Mrs. Harding
no longer requires my services will I resign.”
“When Mrs. Harding no longer requires your services?”
Garrett pondered in silence, experiencing an unexplainable pang of jealousy.
Garrett stared at Ian, his gaze intense as he tried to read something in his eyes. “Don’t you think that’s a little inappropriate? Ian,
have you fallen in love with Laney?”
Despite Garrett’s intimidating gaze, Ian remained calm and composed. “Sir, I would never fall in love with my employer. I am a
professional” he replied.
“I hope you can live up to your word” Garrett sneered.

Ian raised an eyebrow as he spoke. However, “Mr. Harding. On the day of Mrs. Harding’s delivery, you were unreachable by
phone and even arrived late. I anticipate that Mrs. Harding will inquire about this matter, and I suggest that you provide a clear
explanation that won’t disappoint her.”
Garrett’s expression becametenseas he asked, “What do you mean?”
Ian looked at Garrett with a curious expression- puzzled by his sudden change in demeanor. “I simply hope that you can make a
clear and satisfactory explanation to Mrs. Harding,” Ian said.
Garrett fell silent, appearing troubled by the prospect of explaining the situation to Laney.
Ian went on to add, “In case Mrs. Harding asks about the situation later and your explanation doesn’t match with Mrs. Larson’s, it
could potentially distress her, especially since she is currently in a very delicate state...”
As Ian was about to finish his sentence, a sweet and gentle voice interrupted him, asking, “What are you two talking about?”
“Kailee?”

As soon as Garrett caught sight of the person, his expression instantly turned icy, and he spoke with a guarded tone. “What
brings you here?”
“I cto the hospital today to attend to sbusiness, and I didn’t expect to cacross you,” Kailee replied calmly.
Kailee walked towards Garrett, wearing a surprised and joyful smile on her face, giving the impression that she had truly

coincidentally stumbled upon him.
However, it was only Kailee who was privy to the knowledge that Garrett had been looking after Laney during her stay at the
hospital.
Kailee knew that women were most exhausted right after giving birth, and in order to make Laney look worse off, she deliberately
dressed up and cto the hospital to create the impression that she coincidentally ran into Garrett. This was all just a ruse to
make Laney feel worse.
Feeling confident in her own beauty, Kailee believed that she could easily outshine Laney, who appeared tired and haggard after
giving birth.
Ian noticed the subtle look of triumph in Kailee’s eyes and realized that she had ulterior motives. He spoke in a cold voice. “You
must be Miss Gibson. Don’t you know that interrupting someone’s conversation is considered highly impolite?”
Kailee’s perfect smile suddenly froze, and a hint of maliciousness flickered in her eyes.
Ian’s actions had repeatedly thwarted Kailee’s plans, and now she felt further aggrieved that he had the audacity to confront her.
Ian remained indifferent to Kailee’s thoughts and proceeded to make a sarcastic comment, “Mrs. Harding had a difficult labor
with hemorrhage that nearly resulted in her death right in your hospital. The investigation isn’t even complete yet and the
attending physician has already been transferred to the countryside. It appears that it’s all due to the presence of a boss like
Miss Gibson.”
Ian’s words drew the attention of passers-by who started to gather around and began to gossip about Kailee.
Kailee’s carefully crafted facade began to crumble under Ian’s ridicule. She grabbed Garrett’s sleeve and pointed at Ian while
fiercely stating, “Garrett, your assistant is talking nonsense. You should just fire him and I’ll find a better replacement for Laney!”
