Laney knew that Garrett just sacrificed something valuable to him for their relationship.
She couldn't let him down.
In that moment, Laney made up her mind to be the best wife after they got married.
"I promise I'll be a good wife and make you and your parents proud," Laney swore in a hoarse voice.
Garrett was amused by her words. He chuckled and then kissed her forehead affectionately. "Just be yourself, Laney. Don't change for me, okay?"
Laney was not an ignorant girl. She knew that marrying into a rich family would not be easy.
Besides, she could tell that Vera had high standards for her daughter-in-law.

Now that he had his parents' approval, Garrett began to prepare for the wedding.
Laney didn't want a grand wedding, so they held a simple one and didn't invite too many guests. Not a single reporter was allowed to step foot in the wedding venue. Garrett also warned all the major media outlets, forbidding them from gossiping about Laney.
However, even Garrett couldn't stop the news that he, the only son and heir of the Harding family, was marrying an ordinary woman. On their wedding day, the news trended on Twitter. Everyone was curious to see what this real-life Cinderella looked like.
During the wedding ceremony, the guests were kept talking about it.
Especially all the women who had tried to chase after Garrett.
Before now, Garrett was one of the most eligible bachelors in Seacisco. There were a lot of girls who liked him.
