Chapter 752

She’d never felt this humiliated in her entire life.

In Vera’s moment of helplessness, unsure how to respond to them, Natalie suddenly spoke up with a smile. “Ladies, please don’t bother Mrs. Harding with all these questions. Laney and I are very good friends, and I happen to know a thing or two about the issue.”

Upon hearing Natalie’s words, Vera’s heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Natalie was going to take the opportunity to reveal everything, including how Kailee had instigated her to force Laney to leave. It was going to be a complete humiliation for Vera.

At that point, Vera kept silent, and waited anxiously for Natalie to reveal the truth.

All the ladies looked at Natalie with teeming anticipation, hoping that she’d divulge some shocking secrets to satisfy their intense curiosity.

Natalie smiled softly at them and said, “The truth is, Laney and Garrett just had a small argument, and decided to live separately for a while. It had nothing to do with Mrs. Harding.”

Mrs. Lee then asked skeptically, “Really? That’s not what people have been saying.”

The other ladies were equally doubtful of Natalie’s account.

The hot topic of Vera mistreating her daughter-in-law had been making the rounds in their circles, with everyone discussing it into great detail. To them, it was highly unlikely that the situation was as simple as Natalie had made it out to be.
