Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1218

The instant Kailee's eyes fell upon the proof shown by Garrett, her visage drained of color.

Summoning her composure, she scoffed, "I merely chanced upon you. Seeing you struggle to walk, I lent a hand to get you to your room.

I never anticipated you'd concoct such fables to weasel out of your commitment. Truly absurd."

Garrett marveled at Kailee's unwavering resolve. Even when confronted with evidence, she coolly deflected blame. It was no surprise she was capable of such nefarious deeds.

Luckily, Garrett came prepared.

"May your stubbornness persist," Garrett grinned, clapping his hands.

In an instant, the VIP room door swung open. Garrett's assistant entered with the hotel staff who had been on duty that day.

Kailee's eyes widened upon seeing the waiter, her hands quivering behind her back.

The assistant ushered the waiter forward and icily recounted, "I was at the hotel with Mr. Harding that day. During the dinner, I went to the restroom, and was accosted by a drunken lout who smashed my phone and hauled me to a hotel room."

With a strained smile, Kailee retorted, "What does that have to do with me? Did I command the drunk to do that?"

The assistant fixed his gaze on her and continued, "I tracked down the drunk. He's merely a part-time actor. He was paid double by someone to obstruct me, and that someone was this waiter."

The assistant then delivered a swift kick to the trembling waiter, his voice low and menacing, "As a waiter, how could you possibly have the funds to hire a part-time actor to frame Mr. Harding?"

The waiter shuddered, cautiously looking at Kailee before stammering, "This... this woman, she gave me a large sum, asked me to find someone to stop you, and to covertly drug Mr. Harding..."

Eyes wide with indignation, Kailee bellowed, "Nonsense! I don't know you at all!"

She rounded on Garrett, fury in her eyes. "If you wish to renege on our agreement, so be it. But why hire someone to defame me? Do you truly wish to cross the Gibson family?"

"Compose yourself. Let him finish," Garrett replied, his smile dripping with disdain.

Kailee shot the waiter a fierce glare and sneered, "Why should I lend credence to a waiter's drivel? Who knows if you're all in cahoots? I've no time for such games."
