Chapter 579 Interrogation
Garrett pointed squarely at Greg's nose, filled with loathing, and said, "What a wuss! When Laney was with me, I wanted to do everything for her. And you had the gall to expect her to protect you? You could have hired a bodyguard, but no, instead, you thought, maybe you should find a girlfriend who could protect you for no cost so you could save a few bucks?"
Laney stood beside Garrett listening to him berate Greg. A satisfied smile stretched across her face.
Garrett couldn't calm himself down even one iota. He turned around and stared at Laney. After a while, he asked in utter disbelief, "So is this your type of man?"
Laney immediately stopped smiling and said in a frigid tone, "No."
Garrett couldn't bring himself to believe it. He looked at Greg, who was still trembling in the corner, and didn't know how Laney could ever rather be with such a coward than him, a handsome and rich man who loved her truly and deeply. At least, he would never hide behind Laney when they were caught in danger.
"Then why were you with him?" Garrett fixed his eyes on Laney.
She was simply mortified. She scratched her nose awkwardly and stuttered, "I... I..."
She hesitated in providing him with an answer because she thought it was an immature reason to reveal to Garrett. Her juvenile reasoning for agreeing to be Greg's girlfriend was simply because she had been angry with Garrett.
She avoided the question and said in deflection, "Don't yell at me here. It's none of your business." After saying that, she turned on her heel and left. Garrett knew that there must be a reason behind her agreement to date Greg. He caught up with her, grabbed her wrist and asked, "When did you become his girlfriend? If I hadn't overheard Janet's words, would I have known about this at all?"
Laney shook off his hand and said, "We just started dating four days ago. Can you stop pestering me about this?"
After thinking for a while about what had happened four days ago, he asked, "Where had you been four days ago? What happened?"
Impatiently, Laney said, "It's none of your business." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
"Alright then, it's none of my business. If you don't tell me, I'll find it out myself."
As soon as Garrett finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Laney could do nothing about it. She knew that if he was determined to investigate the whole thing, he would definitely find something.
In that case, she thought she'd better tell him herself.
Laney then stopped him. "Fine! I will tell you the truth! I was at the supermarket the other day and saw you with your new girlfriend. On the same day, he came to me and asked me to be his girlfriend. I wasn't thinking clearly, so I agreed. That's it. Don't investigate the matter."
After listening to her words, Garrett was momentarily stunned before understanding dawned upon him.
He touched his jaw, lowered his head and looked at her. He couldn't help smiling. "Did you agree to be his girlfriend to get back at me? Because you were jealous?"
