Chapter 1232 The Harding Family BecA Laughing Stock
Vera rued her past decisions.
Dissatisfied with Laney’s humble origins, she had embraced Kailee, who hailed from a respectable family and possessed a
charming demeanor. To Vera, she had seemed the perfect daughter-in-law.
Caught off guard, Vera hadn’t anticipated Kailee’s deceit.
“How was I to know she’d be so cunning?” Vera sighed, turning to Leo with trepidation. “What do we do now? With Garrett in this
state, can we still make amends?”
Leo was equally vexed.
Given Garrett’s temperament, further impulsive actions could sever their relationship permanently.
“For now, do nothing. Just wait for Garrett to bring Laney back,” Leo instructed, his voice heavy. “As for social events, avoid
them. Tell people you’re traveling. I’ll have the housekeeper book your ticket.”
Since Laney refused to return home, the Harding family had becthe object of ridicule in their social circle. Vera’s recent

outburst at the hospital only intensified the scorn directed at the entire family.
Conversations about the Harding’s now often carried an undertone of mockery and disdain.
After all, they all belonged to prominent families. Regardless of their feelings toward in-laws, they would never cross the line.
They would do anything possible to preserve their reputations. It was inconceivable that they could stoop to the level of the
Hardings, who had driven their daughter-in-law to flee her own home.
“But our granddaughter...” Vera protested, discontent etched on her face.
Vera had only met her granddaughter a handful of
Leo shot her an infuriated glare. “You’re still thinking about your granddaughter now? If you hadn’t acted so stupidly, Laney
would’ve returned with the baby!”
Vera had never seen Leo so livid. Fearful, she held her tongue.

After a moment, she ventured, “What if we travel together? It might help you relax.”
“Go alone,” Leo snapped, unwilling to tolerate his wife’s presence. “Reflect on your actions. You’ve lived for decades, yet a
young girl outwitted you.”
With a cold snort, Leo turned and stormed off, anger radiating from his every step.

Vera watched his receding figure, feeling aggrieved and angry. She didn’t even notice her nails digging into her flesh.
It was all Kailee’s fault. If it weren’t for her, Vera wouldn’t be in this mess.
Vera stood in the hospital corridor for a while, trying to the posture of a noble lady and returned to the Harding family’s house
alone.
However, as soon as she arrived home, she saw an uninvited guest.
“How dare you chere?”
Vera walked towards Kailee, furious and wanting to slap her. “What the hell do you want? Why did you do this to me?”
As soon as Vera approached, Kailee becflustered.
Did Vera know the truth? How could she pull off her plan?
Unable to figure out what Vera knew, Kailee pretended to be ignorant and asked, “Mrs. Harding, what do you mean? I respect
you so much. How could I hurt you?”
Vera already saw through Kailee’s facade and didn’t want to deal with her phony act. She asked sternly, “Don’t play dumb with
me. Did you put that disgusting photo in the album?” Kailee initially tried to play it cool, but Vera’s knowledge of the photo caught
her off guard. Observing Kailee’s flustered expression, Vera sneered, “I’ve got even with you for what you did, but you have the
audacity to cto me. I might have to inform the Gibson family about this and let them discipline their own daughter!”
Kailee’s heart raced, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
She never imagined Vera would drag the Gibson family into this.
If the Gibson family found out what she had done, she would have to face severe consequences.
