Chapter 1237 An
Uncultured Girl
Janet brought Vera to a newly opened cafe next to the W Marks Studio.
As soon as they sat down, Vera asked impatiently, 'Where did you hide Laney and the child?'"
Instead of answering her question, Janet responded firmly, "What do you plan to do with Laney after finding her? Will you arrange for another assistant to spy on her? Or are you planning on just taking the child away?"
Vera leaned back on the chair and sneered, "I won't do anything to her. It doesn't matter if she comes back or not as long as she returns my granddaughter to me."
To her, Laney was someone who had ruined their family. She wanted Laney to disappear forever, but the child was part of the Harding family, so she had to be returned.
Upon hearing Vera's heartless answer, Janet felt a strong sense of disgust.
Vera was apparently unaware of her faults and did not regard Laney as family. With a mother-in-law like her, it was no wonder why Laney was so determined to leave.
Janet furrowed her brows and said coldly, "If that's the case, then there's no point in having a conversation. Even if I knew where Laney went, I wouldn't tell you."
Vera's face darkened, and she threatened, "Don't think you can get away with everything just because you have the White family and the Larson Group backing you up. Are you sure you want to go against the Harding family for just a bodyguard?"
Janet snorted disdainfully and replied, "Mrs. Harding, do whatever you want. I'm ready to take you on anytime. But I'm curious. How would Garrett or Mr. Harding react if they knew you were here to
make things difficult for me?"
"You!" Vera cried angrily, feeling at a loss for words.
Vera came to humiliate Janet without Garrett's and Leo's knowledge. If they were to find out, they would probably ground her.
Just then, a waiter arrived with their coffee.
After expressing her gratitude to the waiter, Janet took a sip from her cup.
Vera gritted her teeth in anger as she watched Janet behaving so calmly.
Meanwhile, Janet felt a little pleased when she saw the frustration on Vera's face from the corner of her eye.
While Janet respected her elders, she couldn't help but feel compelled to speak up for Laney, who had endured too much injustice in the Harding family.
"What will it take for you to tell me where Laney is?" Vera asked impatiently.
Janet set down her coffee and answered coolly, "Mrs. Harding, what's the rush? Let me guess. Kailee must have told you to come to me, right?"
Vera's heart skipped a beat. She did not expect Janet to guess that.
Janet could tell from Vera's reaction that she had hit the nail on the head.
She shook her head disappointedly and explained, "I won't tell you where Laney is because I don't want you to be further manipulated by Kailee. That will only cause trouble for Laney and even ruin her relationship with Garrett."
Vera's face flushed when she heard Janet's reasoning.
What Janet had said was undeniable.
However, she was a haughty upper-class socialite. Being silenced by a younger person for the first time left Vera feeling very angry.
Thinking about Janet's life before she was brought back to the White family, Vera couldn't help mocking, "How dare you talk to me like that? You're just an uncultured girl with no idea how important an heir is to a family."
Janet felt her anger rise as Vera attacked her past. She couldn't help but retort, "Despite your noble upbringing, how could you be so easily manipulated by others? Not only have you driven your daughter -in-law away, but now you can't even see your granddaughter."
Janet's words infuriated Vera, causing her face to turn livid in anger.
She glared harshly at Janet and grumbled, "Is this how you were taught to speak to elders in the White family? It seems that I have to get Johanna to discipline you properly!" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
However, before Vera could say anything else, a voice came from behind.
"My daughter has always been perfect. She doesn't need you to tell her what to do, Mrs. Harding."
