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.”
