Chapter 1214 Garrett Married Her Out Of Sympathy
Laney was in a daze as she stared at the photo, feeling like a sharp knife had pierced her chest, leaving her breathless.
Garrett had been unfaithful to her when her life was in danger...
She had been foolish to believe his lies... Suddenly, a voice recorder fell out from the middle of the photo album.
The sight of the recorder caused Laney’s mind to spiral out of control.
She wanted to pick it up and listen, but her courage failed her. Could she bear to know the truth?
Laney lacked the courage to pick up the recorder at that moment.
For she knew that whatever was in it would break her heart.
Eventually, Laney mustered the courage to reach for the recorder, her f*ingers fumbling with the buttons.
“I married Laney out of sympathy.” Garett’s voice resounded through the recorder. “She was pregnant at that time, and I had no
choice but to marry her. In truth, I didn’t love her at all.” Laney felt as if she had fallen into a dark and cold abyss, torn apart by an
invisible beast, her limbs and bones wracked with unbearable pain. The pain was so intense that she thought she might collapse.
The truth hurt so much. It was all a lie. This marriage was a sham from the very beginning.

As soon as Ian entered the room, he noticed Laney’s lifeless demeanor and tear-streaked face. Concerned, he rushed over to
check on her.
“Mrs. Harding!”
“Mrs. Harding!” Ian exclaimed, hurrying to her side to check on her. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Laney gazed at Ian with empty eyes before a desperate smile appeared on her face. “Do you all know about Garrett’s affair?”
she asked.
It then dawned on Laney why Ian had asked her what she would do if Garrett had cheated on her.
That was why Janet had been so cold towards Garrett earlier that morning.

They all knew about it, but no one had told her. Ian noticed the photo, and his face darkened. Garrett and Kailee were lying
intimately on the same bed in the picture.
They had been cautious, but they couldn’t stop Kailee’s cunning scheme.
“Tell me!” Laney cried out, desperation evident in her voice. “Did you know about the affair between Garrett and Kailee? Why did
you all lie to me?”
At that moment, the baby began to babble, indicating that she was waking up.
As Laney looked at the sleeping baby beside her, she bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her tears.
Ian couldn’t bear to see the grief-stricken look on her face any longer. “We didn’t mean to lie to you,” he confessed. “We had our

doubts about this matter. It’s very likely that Kailee planned everything. Mr. Harding might not have had an affair. We wanted to
gather irrefutable evidence before telling you the truth.”
“The truth? What truth?” Laney’s voice was cold as she picked up the photo and waved it before Ian. “Don’t tell me Kailee
kidnapped Garrett and forced him to take the photo on bed!”
Ian let out a sigh. “Mrs. Harding, you used to be a top professional bodyguard. You should have seen through these schemes.”
Laney managed to force a smile and said nothing.
As a professional, she should have been able to analyze the situation rationally, but she was still an ordinary person, affected by
her emotions.
She had also just given birth and was not prepared to hear that her husband had cheated on her. How could she have possibly
reacted calmly to that kind of information?
The recording, which revealed that Garrett married her out of sympathy, only added to her heartbreak.
She had her doubts whether Garrett married her out of pity.
But now she knew the heartbreaking truth.
Even if Ian was right and Garrett had been framed, Laney couldn’t understand why he had hidden it from her. Was she so
untrustworthy? The more she thought about it, the more exhausted she felt.

Laney didn’t want to argue about the truth but rather wanted to calm down. “I’m tired,” she said, her voice barely above a
whisper. “You can go now.”
“But, Mrs. Harding...” Ian hesitated, concerned for her well-being.
I’ll be fine,” Laney said, her head lowered in sadness. “Don’t worry about me, I just need some time alone to calm down. Please
don’t tell anyone that I saw the photo.”
