Chapter 1219 Kailee Is Pregnant
“Did you not claim to have eradicated every trace of those surveillance recordings?”
Realizing there was no point in feigning ignorance any longer, Kailee’s fury ignited as she pointed a menacing finger at the trembling waiter. “You deceitful snake! Was my payment not sufficient enough for your treachery?”
Cowering, the waiter could not muster the courage to speak.
The truth was that he had indeed erased the surveillance footage at Kailee’s behest. However, in his sheer negligence, he had overlooked the existence of a backup file, which was discovered by Janet. Consequently, he was forced to appear as a witness against his will.
At the sight of Kailee’s frenzied countenance, the anguish and resentment that had long festered within Garrett’s heart dissipated.
He gloated, “The entire Gibson clan has been apprised of your devious schemes. Persist, and media broadcasts your sordid tale far and wide, branding you as a home-wrecker without remorse.”
Kailee’s thoughts swirled in disarray. She had never anticipated that Garrett would be so merciless, exposing her darkest secrets to the world and obliterating her reputation. As the Gibson family heiress, her involvement in such a scandal would undoubtedly wreak havoc on their corporate empire, causing stocks to plummet and making damage control near-impossible.
Gritting her teeth, Kailee struggled to regain her composure. “Regardless, we did share a bed. Unless you can show me the footage from that night to prove you didn’t sleep with me.”
Garrett’s expression darkened. “Is this your last stand?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Following a brief, tense silence, Kailee’s demeanor shifted dramatically, her face now adorned with a radiant smile. “Actually, there’s something else I need to share with you. Let’s discuss it after you’ve seen this.” She withdrew a document from her purse, her voice tinged with a coy timidity. “This is a pregnancy test report from the city hospital. The timeline indicates that I became pregnant the day after our tryst.” Dumbfounded, Garrett stood motionless, his gaze locked on the report in Kailee’s grasp.
He opened his mouth to speak, but words failed him.
Waving the report triumphantly, Kailee’s grin oozed smugness. “You claim to have married Laney out of compassion. Can you not extend the same sympathy to me and make me your wife?”
Garrett’s voice was thick with disbelief. “You are utterly undeserving of sympathy! You’re a malevolent creature! Your words mean nothing to me!’’
He lunged forward, seizing Kailee’s wrist. “You’re going to redo the pregnancy test this instant!”
As the two grappled with one another, the door to the VIP room burst open. “Enough!’’ Garrett froze at the sound of the all-too- familiar voice.
Visibly flustered, he turned and stammered, “Laney… How did you…?”
Tears cascading down her cheeks, Laney stood in the doorway, Ian’s stoic presence beside her.
Witnessing the chaotic scene before her, Laney’s voice wavered with sorrow. “I know everything. How long were you planning to deceive me, Garrett?”
“No, it’s not what it seems! Let me explain.” Garrett hastily released Kailee, attempting to embrace Laney, but she evaded him.
With her head lowered in disappointment, Laney whispered, “I heard it all. Kailee is carrying your child. What more is there to say?”
“I…” Garrett stammered, desperate to clarify, but Laney’s words left him at a loss for a rebuttal.
His gaze narrowing, Garrett suddenly rounded on Ian, baring his teeth in a snarl. “It was you, wasn’t it? You divulged the sordid details of my entanglement with Kailee to Laney, didn’t you? Did you bring her here deliberately? What was your motive?”
Ian remained unperturbed by Garrett’s rage, calmly responding, “Mrs. Harding chose to come of her own accord. She has every right to know the truth.”
“You orchestrated this!” With an animalistic growl, Garrett lunged at Ian, his fist flying towards Ian’s face.
