Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1200

Kailee harbored a deep resentment towards Ian, believing that if he hadn't intervened and stopped Laney, she would have been able to use the essential oils and induce an undetected premature delivery.

What made matters worse was that Ian was one of Janet's men.

Despite Kailee not fearing Laney, the thought of going against Janet, who had powerful supporters like the Larson and the White family, filled her with fear.

With a look of disgust, Garrett brushed off Kailee's hand and firmly declared, "This is a matter concerning the Harding family and none of your concern. If there's nothing else, leave now. I don't want to see you again."

Kailee was taken aback by Garrett's coldness and his clear animosity towards her. She couldn't believe that he could hate her so much.

But her anger quickly turned into laughter as she pulled out her phone from her bag, handing it over to Garrett. "If I leave now, I'm going straight to see Laney."

Garrett was stunned when he saw what was on Kailee's phone.

He quickly reached for the phone, his expression contorted upon seeing the photos on it, visibly disturbed by the impact of what he saw.

Upon noticing the tense expression on Garrett's face, Kailee's mood suddenly lifted and she spoke in a cheerful tone. "I believe Laney would find these pictures quite intriguing."

"Kailee!" Garrett's hands tightened around the phone as he stared at Kailee, disbelief etched on his face. "What is it that you want?" he demanded.

Kailee let out a snort of contempt, raising her chin with a smug look as she gazed at Ian. "First things first, I want you to fire this person," she declared, pointing an accusing finger at Ian. "We can discuss the other matters afterwards."

Garrett's face turned crimson with rage as he glared first at Ian, then at Kailee. His breathing became labored as he struggled to regain his composure.

While he did consider the idea of firing Ian, Garrett didn't want to be forced into it by Kailee.

Garrett knew that he was in a difficult situation. If he didn't do what Kailee wanted, Laney might find out about the photos, which would be disastrous. However, if he did fire Ian, it would only give Kailee more power over him.

Garrett's mind raced as he weighed the consequences of his actions. He had never been in a situation like this before, and he felt completely helpless. On one hand, he didn't want to give in to Kailee's demands, but on the other hand, he couldn't bear the thought of Laney seeing those photos.

With a composed tone, Ian interjected, "I was sent here by Mrs. Larson. Mr. Harding doesn't have the authority to determine my employment status."
