In the ward, Garrett and Laney were having a heart -to-heart talk. Janet did not want to disturb them. Since Lola was still locked up and hadn't been dealt with, she decided on dealing with Lola first.
"Let me out! You can't keep me in captivity here. This is illegal!"
Lola screamed her threats at Mesue. "Do you know who I work for? A mere bodyguard like you can't afford to offend the Harding family."
Mesue kept a straight face, letting her words in one ear and out the other.
Janet wasn't expecting to see Lola still this arrogant. With a sneer, she looked at Lola coldly.
When Lola finally saw Janet, she fell silent for a moment, then craned her neck and pretended to be calm. "Janet, let me out. I'm working for Mr. Harding. You won't really dare hurt me, right? You can't go against the Harding family."
Lola was so foolish and naive that it amused Janet. "From what I know, you have a younger brother studying in Barnes. You came here for him, right?"
Lola's heart tightened. Fear rose in her chest, making her breathing slow. "What do you want?"
Janet spoke slowly, making sure her every word was clear. "From now on, no one from your family is allowed to set foot on Barnes again. As for you, you can confess your sins in prison for the rest of your life."
The serious look on Janet's face, matched with the severity of her statement, made Lola tremble in fear. Her face turned paper white as she shouted, "I
don't believe you! Mr. Harding will help me! Miss Gibson won't let me suffer here!"
Coldly, Janet smiled and said, "This is what Garrett had wanted. You attempted to hurt his wife. Do you really expect his father to save you? The Harding family won't help you now. Do you really think Mr. Harding will choose you, a mere assistant over his son?"
Lola looked like a ghost now. She stared at Janet, eyes blank and lips trembling.
