Chapter 479

Besides, Kelly was just a secretary.

How could she talk to Laney in such a bossy tone! Pretending not to hear Kelly’s words, Natalie continued to speak

to Laney.

“What happened?” she asked in a low voice.

“I called you several times, but you didn’t answer.”

Glancing back at Kelly, Laney whispered in her ear.

“Garrett was supposed to come, but then at the last minute, something urgent seemed to come up. l couldn’t get in

touch with him. Eventually, Vera had to ask me to come with Kelly.”

“What was he doing? Why did he bail on you?” Natalie asked, frowning.

Brandon just promised Natalie that Garrett was a reliable man, but it certainly didn’t look like it.

Just as Natalie was about to call Garrett, Kelly stopped her.

“You know nothing,” Kelly said, clearly dissatisfied.

“Why would you say that? Mr. Harding had something important to do, so he couldn’t come here. You’re just a

designer. How could you say such a thing about Mr. Harding? I should sue you for slander!”

Natalie removed Kelly’s hand and said, calmly, “Go ahead, sue me right now! I won’t talk to you again before your

lawyer comes.”

Kelly couldn’t beat Natalie at arguing.

Trying to grab her phone, she said, “Wait here. 1’II call security and they’ll kick you out! I know what’s going on

here! People like you just sneak in to seduce wealthy men!”

At this sort of event, other than the wealthy ladies, there were always women in attendance who were looking for

opportunities to meet rich men.

Kelly didn’t know Natalie at all, but she could tell that Natalie wasn’t one of the wealthy ladies because she had

never seen her before.

“I came here with my husband,” Natalie said, taking a step back, a disappointed look on her face.

Kelly snorted. She didn’t believe that Natalie’s husband could be a person of note.

“Kelly, everyone can hear you!”

Hearing the commotion, Vera rushed over with a frown.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Harding. I got too excited just now. This lady here was speaking ill of Mr. Harding first.”

Kelly lowered her head, expecting Vera to start teaching Natalie a lesson.

Vera was looking elegant in a light-colored dress. Her eyes lit up when she saw Natalie.

“Natalie, how nice to see you here!” she asked, delighted.

“Where are your parents?”

Vera gave Natalie a warm hug.

Noticing that she wasn’t accompanied by her family, she asked, “Did you come with Brandon?”

Natalie smiled.

“Brandon is here somewhere, mingling with the other gentlemen. My parents are travelling the world at the

moment,” she replied.

“You look so elegant in this dress, Mrs. Harding,” Natalie continued.

“It makes you glow.” Vera beamed.

“You’re always a delight, Natalie,” she said.

Vera patted Natalie’s hand lovingly.

Remembering Kelly’s words, Vera turned to her, frowning.

“Natalie is friends with Garrett,” she explained.

“It’s no big deal.”

Kelly was wide-eyed, stunned.

Turning back to Natalie, Vera looked her up and down and said, in a praising tone, “You look glamorous today! And

the diamond necklace you are wearing is so well-matched.”

Vera liked collecting diamonds. She could tell, at a glance, that Natalie’s necklace was extremely valuable and

unique.

Natalie smiled and looked at Kelly, who was standing nearby, dumbfounded.

“Kelly, what do you think? Mrs. Harding sent you to urge me to modify the dress and now even bring you to the

party tonight. I presumed you also have good taste in fashion.”

Kelly’s mind was in a mess.

What Vera had said greatly surprised her. lt was only a matter of time before she connected all the clues and

figured out Natalie’s identity.

Kelly was abroad getting her medical treatment, so she didn’t know much about what had happened back home.

When she came back, her colleagues filled her in with some big news while she was away.

She hadn’t learned that Brandon got married till then.

She didn’t look into the matter and certainly didn’t know who Brandon had married.

Kelly would have never imagined Natalie to be the person, mainly because she didn’t expect Laney would know

such a big shot as Mrs. larson! Laney used to be a bodyguard, right? How could she be possibly connected to

Brandon’s wife in any way? Immediately, Kelly’s face darkened. She then leaned over to look at Natalie’s necklace.

She feigned a smile and said, “I’ve never seen such a huge diamond before. But of course, Mrs. larsen has

excellent taste. Only you will look so good with this necklace.”

Kelly unwillingly praised Natalie. She had never in her life felt so resentful and angry.

Natalie smiled a half-hearted smile.

And then, she covered her nose and sneezed repeatedly.
