Greg shrank away from Laney, but he didn‘t make a move to leave. Seeing this, Laney flew into a fit of

rage. She started rolling up her sleeves as she stomped towards him.

“Will you leave on your own or will I have to throw you out?”

Seeing the fierce look on her face, Greg was scared out of his wits and jumped up from the sofa at

once. Then, without looking back, he ran out the door. With Greg gone, Laney‘s apartment felt

especially quiet. She sighed and turned to close the door. But before the door could click shut,

someone from outside stuck their foot in the gap to stop it from closing. Laney thought that Greg had

come back.

Gritting her teeth angrily, she swung the door open and was about to throw her fist at Greg‘s face when

she saw that it was Garrett standing at the door.

“Why are you here?” Laney frowned in surprise.

“Anyway, I‘m sorry for leaving in a hurry just now. I wasn‘t able to thank you properly yet.” Then, she

bowed her head solemnly and said, “I‘ve saved you once, but you‘ve saved me twice. You are a

Harding, one life of yours is certainly equal to two of mine. I suppose that makes us even.”

Garrett didn‘t say anything. Laney straightened up and looked at him as she continued, “You seem fine.

Plus, you came here so fast, so one of your men must‘ve driven you here, right? So he can also drive

you to the hospital. And if you don‘t think I‘m being sincere enough now, I can formally thank you

another day. Now please excuse me for I have to go out.”

With that, she went back inside her apartment, grabbed her bag and keys, closed the door behind her,

and left, ignoring the expression on Garrett‘s face.

As Laney was walking away, Garrett followed her. Sensing this, Laney stopped in her tracks, but she

didn‘t look back. Her voice was full of impatience. “Are you planning to follow me everywhere? Don‘t

make me yell at you.”

Then, without giving Garrett a chance to respond, she bolted. Garrett wanted to chase after her, but

stopped on a second thought. Laney kept on running, regardless of not knowing where she was going.

She only slowed down when she was sure that Garrett hadn‘t followed her. She took a deep, shaky

breath, and a lump formed in her throat. She buried her face in her hands as tears began to roll down

her cheeks uncontrollably. Was it strange that she felt so sad even though technically nothing had

happened between them? .

When Janet received the phone call from Laney, she instantly sensed that something was wrong.

Laney‘s voice was unusually calm. “Hey, Janet, are you free? Would you like to go out for a drink with

me?”

“Sure. Just give me the address of the bar and I‘ll be there soon.” Janet could tell that something was

on Laney‘s mind. Being a devoted friend that she was, she said goodbye to Ethan, who had just

stepped out of the shower, and went straight to the bar.

It was still early, so the bar was relatively quiet and the performers were still warming up onstage.

Laney sat at the counter and ordered two bottles of whiskey. Eyeing the bottles, Janet felt that Laney

was really going all out this time. One bottle of this brand alone was already quite expensive.

“This must‘ve cost you a one months‘ salary, right?” Janet sighed warily. Even before she came here,

she had already guessed that the issue must‘ve had something to do with Garrett Laney smiled bitterly

as she poured herself a glass. Before Janet could stop her, she downed it all in one gulp.

It took half a bottle of alcohol before Laney finally opened up to Janet about what had happened that

day. Janet stayed quiet and listened to the whole story without interrupting. She was well aware of the

torture of being in a relationship with someone who was worlds away from her in terms of social status.

If the White family hadn‘t announced that she was their daughter, she doubted she‘d have been able to

handle the pressure of being with Brandon Larson. It was really hard and really painful. 1 Unlike Ethan

who came from a broken family, Garrett still had both his parents and he was loyal to his family.

It would‘ve been difficult for him to choose between his family and Laney. “I think you did the right thing.

At least walking away now is less painful than spending the rest of your life struggling.”

After pouring herself a glass of whiskey, Janet clinked glasses with Laney and said with a grin, “Let‘s

get hammered tonight.”

Laney‘s face was already flushed by then. She was so drunk that she cried in a slurred voice, “Okay!

Let‘s get hammered!”

Then, the two girls drank. As Laney put her glass down, tears welled up in her eyes again. Seeing this,

Janet patted her on the back, not knowing how to comfort her friend. After all, she knew there was

nothing she could say or do, for it was Laney‘s life and she had to make the choice herself.

The only thing Janet could do was drink with her in solidarity.
