The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 723
Vera, taken aback by Natalie's audacity, chastised her, “This is a hospital, not a
place for theatrics! Release Lola at once. Our family’s affairs are none of your
concern.”
Leo concurred, adding, “Indeed, I brought Lola here. Surely, she could never
harm Laney. Let her go.”
“Absolutely not!” Natalie retorted, undeterred. She glared at Leo and declared, “It
is not for you to determine whether Lola has wronged Laney or not.”
“You insolent...” Taken aback by Natalie's audacity, Leo found himself seething
with rage, his ch*st heaving as he struggled to catch his breath.
“You dare to overstep your bounds and hire a male assistant for Laney without
permission, and now you wish to meddle in the private affairs of the Harding
family! Your arrogance knows no bounds, Natalie!”
Weary of bickering with Leo, Natalie turned to Mesue, commanding, “Remove
Lola from the premises. If anything befalls Laney, the responsibility lies with her.
Do not allow her to escape.”
Feeling utterly disregarded, Leo's visage paled, his fury palpable.
“Preposterous! Absolutely preposterous! How could the esteemed White family
produce such an uncouth, feral creature as yourself?” Roaring, he lunged
forward, intent on striking Natalie across the face as retribution.
As his hand neared its target, a larger hand suddenly grasped Leo's wrist,
forcefully pushing him back.
Stumbling, Leo nearly fell, saved only by Vera’s timely intervention.
A towering figure then positioned itself protectively before Natalie. Gazing upon
his back, Natalie finally allowed herself a sigh of relief.
It was Brandon.
“Mr. Harding, I implore you to exercise some restraint,” Brandon admonished, his
frosty tone silencing all those present.
Even Lola, who had been struggling throughout the ordeal, ceased her
movements, biting her Ip as she trembled.
“Thank God you're here, Brandon,” Natalie whispered, abandoning her fagade of
defiance. Grasping Brandon's hand, she sobbed, “Laney... she ...”
“Don’t worry.”
Brandon reassured her, patting her head as he requested the physician
recommended by Frank to assess the situation in the delivery room. He then
instructed the bodyguards to escort Leo and Vera to the VIP room.
With the scene now under control, Leo softened his stance, conceding, “We must
see the child first.”
“Yes, indeed. Let us lay eyes on our granddaughter,” Vera chimed in, her
eagerness palpable.
In their haste, they failed to acknowledge that their daughter-in-law was still
battling for her life in the delivery room.
With a cold glare, Brandon interjected, “Laney’s well-being hangs in the balance.
Shouldn't you be more concerned for her, rather than the child?”
Chagrined, Leo and Vera stammered, “But...” Brandon scoffed, cutting them off,
“It would be prudent to await until Laney is out of harm's way. We should also
wait till your son is here to see the baby.”
Leo lost his cool after being humiliated repeatedly. “Brandon! Do you really want
to go up against the Harding family?”
Brandon sneered, “Even if I say “yes’, what can you do to me?”
“You!” Leo was at a loss for words. The Larson Group was the most powerful
company in the country, so it was already incomparable to the Harding Group,
not to mention the Larson Group now had the support of the White family.
No matter what, the Harding family could not afford to offend the Larson Group or
the White family.
“Besides, the Harding Group is under Garrett's control now, and he will definitely
be grateful if he finds out that I saved his wife. Do you really think that he would
turn against me, Mr. Harding?”
“Brandon! Is this how you talk to your elders?” Furious, Leo's face turned red and
his blood p**ssure spiked. He couldn't refute, so he had to blame Brandon for
being impolite Leo knew that Brandon was right. He couldn't do anything to the
Larson Group even if he tried when he was in charge of the Harding Group, let
alone now.
Seeing that Leo was rendered speechless, Natalie finally felt as if she had vented
her anger.
Brandon was really the only one capable of dealing with such a conflict. The
commotion caused passers-by in the hospital to stop and watch.
After hearing the story, they looked at Leo and Vera disdainfully.
The public thought they were so inhuman for starting a fight and only wanting to
see the baby while their daughter-in-law was still in danger.
Vera was a self-important woman, and naturally, she was ashamed to be met
with such disdainful looks.
“Enough, stop arguing.” Vera tugged at Leo’s sleeve, hinting him to calm down.
After Leo noticed that people were watching them, he stuttered and blushed,
feeling embarrassed.
Brandon didn’t want to talk to them anymore, so he requested a doctor to check
Leo's blood p**ssure in case Leo fainted from anger. And then he asked security
guards to take Leo and Vera away.
Leo was indeed enraged, but he did not dare to say anything. He had no choice
but to leave with Vera silently.
After they left, the onlookers also slowly dispersed. Peace was restored outside
the delivery room at last.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, held Brandon's hand, and asked in a soft voice,
“Brandon, why are you here?”
“I came here to help you.” Brandon would only show his tender side to Natalie.
Pinching her cheeks lovingly, he added, “You care a lot about Laney, so naturally,
you would have a conflict with Garrett's parents. I had to come to support you.”
Although Natalie was moved, she frowned when she thought of Laney and
asked, “What's the matter with Garrett?”
