The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 714
Once Garrett had departed, Leo and Vera decided to follow suit, but not before
ensuring Laney was in good hands.
“Please, take exceptional care of Laney this time. We can't afford another
incident,” Vera implored, her worry evident. “Keep us informed of any
developments, alright?” Lola nodded.
“Rest assured, Mrs. Harding?” Leo’s displeasure was unmistakable as he asked,
“What exactly transpired today? Why didn’t you intervene and inform us when
Laney and Garrett went to the class reunion?”
“I... wasn’t aware,” Lola stammered, feeling cornered and fearful under Leo’s
penetrating gaze. “Mrs. Harding never mentioned it to me.” Leo huffed, “If such
negligence occurs again, you needn’t bother working here!”
Lola hung her head, biting her Ip and holding her t***ue.
After Leo and Vera had left, Lola couldn't help but glance resentfully at Laney in
her hospital bed.
She blamed Laney entirely for her plight. If it hadn't been for Laney, Lola would
never have faced such a reprimand!
The hospital housing Laney was under the Gibson family’s control, and it didn’t
take long for Kailee to receive word of Laney’s hospitalization.
“Why is she hospitalized? How's the baby?” Kailee’s voice tinged with
anticipation.
The informant on the other end of the line explained, “Apparently, an emotional
upheaval triggered some fetal distress. However, both mother and child are
stable. The hospitalization is merely a precautionary measure.”
Kailee's disappointment was palpable. She had hoped that the incident would
have had more serious consequences for the unborn child. The resilience of
Laney’s baby had caught her off guard. noveloz.com
Despite the unpleasant events at the class reunion, Kailee’s determination to win
Garrett over remained unshaken. She believed that Garrett's fury stemmed from
concern for the baby, not genuine affection for Laney.
Laney, after all, was a mere bodyguard with no influence or power. Kailee
refused to accept that Garrett could truly love someone like her. This conviction
fueled Kailee’s refusal to back down.
However, as direct contact with Garrett was temporarily impossible, she needed
to devise an alternate strategy.
With a sly grin and raised eyebrows, Kailee prepared to set her cunning plan in
motion.
Kailee came up with another plan. She decided to visit Garrett's parents in the
hopes of getting a breakthrough in her plan. Due to Laney’s pregnancy, Kailee
couldn’t get very close to Garrett for the time being.
As far as she knew, however, the Harding family was very particular about family
backgrounds, so it was likely that Garretts parents weren't too fond of Laney, as
she used to work as a bodyguard.
If Kailee succeeded in driving a wedge bet**en Laney and Garrett's parents,
Laney wasn’t going to be able to remain Mrs. Harding, no matter how tactful she
was.
So early in the morning on the second day, Kailee paid the Harding family a visit,
bearing many gifts.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Harding. I'm Kailee Gibson, an old classmate of Garrett's.”
Kailee had been educated for more than ten years on how to conduct herself like
a noble lady, so the courtesy and charm she showed was perfect.
“Oh, it's you, Kailee. Didn't you go abroad?” Vera was a bit taken aback by
Kailee’s unexpected visit. “When did you return?” she asked.
Kailee smiled bashfully at her and responded, “I got back last week. I've been
quite busy with the hospital's matter, so I didn’t have time to stop by earlier. I
hope you don’t mind.” Out of all of Garrett's ex-girlfriends, Kailee was admittedly
Vera's favorite.
Not only was she beautiful and from a rich family, but she also had a fabulous
personality. Vera remembered how disappointed she was when she found out
that Kailee was going abroad. She had even sent her to the airport herself.
“I'm glad you came. You really don’t have to come with gifts, nonetheless.”
Vera took the gift with a surprised look on her face. “Is this a limited-edition silk
scarf? There were only three of them sold throughout the entire country. I've
heard that it’s very hard to come by one even with the money. How did you
manage to get it?”
“Well as soon as I saw it, I knew it would fit you perfectly, so I made a special
request to a friend to book it for you. I hope you like it, Mrs. Harding.” Kailee wore
a graceful smile on her face.
It took her a lot of effort to get the scarf, and she herself also wanted one.
However, if only a silk scarf could win Vera's favor and pave the way for her to
marry into the Harding family, it was worth it.
Vera was very surprised by the gesture. She'd taken a liking to the scarf when
she saw a picture of it in a magazine but failed to book one. She'd never
expected Kailee to buy it for her. Not only did it require a lot of money, but also,
time and energy.
Immediately, Vera viewed Kailee in a more favorable light. “Good girl. Thank you
for the kind gesture.”

To his surprise, however, Kailee sighed and lowered her head with guilt. “To be
honest, I came here today to offer Garrett an apology.”
“An apology?” Leo and Vera were stunned.

A victorious look flashed across Kailee’s eyes, but she maintained her guilty look.
“But...”
“No buts. Don't think about it too much. It's not your fault,” Vera interrupted her.
The mere thought of Laney and Garrett quarrelling in public made Vera upset.
“As a wife, Laney didn’t do well to protect her husband's public image and was
not sensible at all.”
In a deep voice, Leo also added, “It's her fault that she was hospitalized. She
shouldn’t even be running around so much since she’s so close to giving birth.”
As she lowered her head, Kailee kept silent, but her heart was filled with joy.
As she'd expected, the Harding family was extremely dissatisfied with Laney.
Kailee was brimming with satisfaction over what Garrett's parents had said. As
the Harding family exp**ssed their disapproval of Laney, she knew her plan was
falling into place with ease.
