Chapter 746 However, he was instantly dumbfounded.
The ward was empty, and it looked like it had been unoccupied for quite some time.
Vera went pale from shock and asked, âWhere is Laney? Where is my granddaughter?â
Just then, a nurse happened to pass by. Leo quickly stopped her and asked, âWasnât a patient named Laney Garcia staying in this ward before?
Where is she now?â
The nurse replied softly, âShe has been discharged and left two days ago.â
âSheâs left? Did Garrett lie to me? He said he would bring Laney home in a few days!â Vera exclaimed in disbelief.
Leo furrowed his brows. He never expected Laney to be discharged ahead of time.
âCall Garrett. Ask him whatâs going on,â Leo muttered harshly.
âNo need. You wonât find her,â Garrett said indifferently, suddenly appearing behind them.
Leo couldnât contain his anger and demanded, âWhere is Laney? Where did you hide my granddaughter?â
Garrettâs lips curled and mocked, âThanks to you two, I have no idea where she took the child and went.â
Leo became furious and yelled, âThen go and find her! She took a child from the Harding family and ran away!â
Garrett looked at his parents with extreme disgust.
He didnât expect his parents to only think about the child. They were not even concerned about why Laney left.
âI wonât look for her,â Garrett sneered.
âEven if I find her, sheâll just leave again because of the two of you. Thanks to you two, Iâve lost not only my wife but also my child. I didnât even get a chance to name my daughter before she left,â he continued sarcastically.
Vera shouted harshly, âFind the child first. Weâll discuss the rest later!â
Garrett scoffed. He then got his assistant to bring out the documents he had prepared and threw them at Leo.
Leoâs face turned pale upon seeing the title of the document. He glared at Garrett and asked, âShare Surrender Agreement? What do you mean by this?â
Garrett crossed his arms and said coldly, âIf you dare to harass Laney and my child again, Iâll sign the documents in public and surrender my shares in the Harding Group. That way, the Harding Group and the Harding family will have nothing to do with me anymore.â
As soon as Garrett finished speaking, the corridor fell into a deathly silence.
Leo glared at Garrett with a livid face, barely able to catch his breath as he roared, âGarrett! How dare you! Are you going to sever the relationship with the Harding family?â
Vera was so furious that she nearly fainted. âGarrett, how could you abandon us for a woman? How come we have a son like you?â The assistant next to Garrett trembled in fear.
He thought that the document was meant to intimidate Leo, but he didnât expect Garrett to be serious.
Garrett sneered and said, âIf I had a choice, I wouldnât want parents like you.
You only gave birth to me so that you could use me as a tool to take over the Harding Group. You not only controlled my life, but also my wifeâs and my childâs lives. Itâs because of you that Laney and I are in this situation!â
Vera gasped for breath as she listened to Garrettâs accusations. She could no longer maintain her elegant and dignified demeanor as a pretentious noble lady.
She snapped, âItâs all because of Laney that youâve become like this. back and you must get a divorce with her!â
Vera placed all the blame on Laney, believing she was the reason behind Garrettâs rebellion and decision to break away from the Harding family.
âDonât you dare!â
Garrett said to Vera in a menacing voice, âIf you harass Laney or the baby again, I wonât hesitate to cut ties with you.â
Turning to his assistant, Garrett ordered coldly, âArrange a press Share Surrender Agreement publicly and announce my withdrawal from the Harding Group.â
âWait!â
Leo was unsure if Garrett would really leave the company and didnât want to take any risks. With a livid face, he compromised, âI promise to leave Laney alone. And I wonât interfere in your affairs anymore.â
âAbsolutely not!â Vera was determined that Garrett must divorce Laney and the baby must return to the Harding family. She couldnât stand Leo compromising and giving in.
âShut up!â Leo glared at Vera.
Garrett sneered, ignoring them both. He turned around and left with his assistant.
Garrett couldnât stand being in such a depressing place for even a moment.
After he got back in the car, his assistant could still sense the fear lingering from the intense encounter they just had.
The assistant asked cautiously, âMr. Harding, was that a bit extreme? Your parents only miss their granddaughter, and besides... You know where Mrs. Harding is now, right? Why donât you just go get her?â
The assistant didnât understand why Garrett didnât go directly to Laneyâs location since Garrett had found out that Laney was staying with her friend, Teresa. He believed that this was a perfect solution.
Leaning against the back seat, Garrett closed his eyes wearily and said in a low voice, âI have to clear all the obstacles before I can bring Laney and the baby back. I wonât put them in harmâs way again.â
Once Garrett left, Leo finally calmed down.
After all, he had been a big shot in Barnes for many years, and as soon as he recovered himself, he sensed that something was off.
Vera must have done something he wasnât aware of, or Garrett wouldnât be so determined to cut ties. Giving up the companyâs shares to keep them away from Laney and the baby was a huge move.
Leo looked at Vera with sharp eyes and asked harshly, âWhatâs happened to Laney and the baby? Are you keeping something from me?â At first, Vera wanted to conceal the fact that she was deceived by Kailee, but Leoâs questioning left her flustered. In the end, she had to tell the truth to avoid losing Leoâs trust.
Hearing the truth, Leo flew into a rage.
He didnât expect so many things had happened. No wonder Laney had to leave and Garrett was so angry that he wanted to cut off ties with the Harding family.
âHow could you be so stupid?â Leo felt his blood pressure rise with anger. âItâs clear that Kailee wants to cause trouble between you and Laney.
Youâve lived for so long, yet you are manipulated by a young woman!â
