The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1176 A Visit To The Harding Family
Kailee came up with another plan. She decided to visit Garrett’s parents in the hopes of getting a breakthrough in her plan. Due
to Laney’s pregnancy, Kailee couldn’t get very close to Garrett for the time being.
As far as she knew, however, the Harding family was very particular about family backgrounds, so it was likely that Garretts
parents weren’t too fond of Laney, as she used to work as a bodyguard.
If Kailee succeeded in driving a wedge between Laney and Garrett’s parents, Laney wasn’t going to be able to remain Mrs.
Harding, no matter how tactful she was.
So early in the morning on the second day, Kailee paid the Harding family a visit, bearing many gifts.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Harding. I’m Kailee Gibson, an old classmate of Garrett’s.”
Kailee had been educated for more than ten years on how to conduct herself like a noble lady, so the courtesy and charm she
showed was perfect.
“Oh, it’s you, Kailee. Didn’t you go abroad?” Vera was a bit taken aback by Kailee’s unexpected visit. “When did you return?” she
asked.
Kailee smiled bashfully at her and responded, “I got back last week. I’ve been quite busy with the hospital’s matter, so I didn’t
have time to stop by earlier. I hope you don’t mind.” Out of all of Garrett’s ex-girlfriends, Kailee was admittedly Vera’s favorite.
Not only was she beautiful and from a rich family, but she also had a fabulous personality. Vera remembered how disappointed
she was when she found out that Kailee was going abroad. She had even sent her to the airport herself.
“I’m glad you came. You really don’t have to come with gifts, nonetheless.”
Vera took the gift with a surprised look on her face. “Is this a limited-edition silk scarf? There were only three of them sold
throughout the entire country. I’ve heard that it’s very hard to come by one even with the money. How did you manage to get it?”
“Well as soon as I saw it, I knew it would fit you perfectly, so I made a special request to a friend to book it for you. I hope you like
it, Mrs. Harding.” Kailee wore a graceful smile on her face.

It took her a lot of effort to get the scarf, and she herself also wanted one.
However, if only a silk scarf could win Vera’s favor and pave the way for her to marry into the Harding family, it was worth it.
Vera was very surprised by the gesture. She’d taken a liking to the scarf when she saw a picture of it in a magazine but failed to
book one. She’d never expected Kailee to buy it for her. Not only did it require a lot of money, but also, time and energy.
Immediately, Vera viewed Kailee in a more favorable light. “Good girl. Thank you for the kind gesture.”
Although Leo didn’t say anything, he was also very happy with the gift Kailee had gotten him. Her impromptu visit made him feel
a little strange, nonetheless. “Are you here to see Garrett? He’s at the office right now. I don’t know what time he’ll be back.”
To his surprise, however, Kailee sighed and lowered her head with guilt. “To be honest, I came here today to offer Garrett an
apology.”
“An apology?” Leo and Vera were stunned.
With an even more guilty look on her face, Kailee said, “Laney’s hospitalization was all my fault. I didn’t take good enough care
of her. At the school reunion yesterday, Laney probably felt a bit self-abased when she met our classmates and seemed to have
quarreled with Garrett on the way back. I assume that’s what caused the fetal movement.”
This was an outright lie, however, Vera believed her. Vera immediately held Kailee’s hand and comforted her. “It’s not your fault.
Laney’s from a poor family. It’s understandable that she can’t get over her inferiority complex.”
A victorious look flashed across Kailee’s eyes, but she maintained her guilty look. “But...”
“No buts. Don’t think about it too much. It’s not your fault,” Vera interrupted her.
The mere thought of Laney and Garrett quarrelling in public made Vera upset. “As a wife, Laney didn’t do well to protect her
husband’s public image and was not sensible at all.”
In a deep voice, Leo also added, ‘It’s her fault that she was hospitalized. She shouldn’t even be running around so much since
she’s so close to giving birth.”
As she lowered her head, Kailee kept silent, but her heart was filled with joy.
As she’d expected, the Harding family was extremely dissatisfied with Laney.
