The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 727
Kailee harbored a deep resentment towards lan, believing that if he hadn't
intervened and stopped Laney, she would have been able to use the essential
oils and induce an undetected premature delivery.
What made matters worse was that lan was one of Natalie's men.
Despite Kailee not fearing Laney, the thought of going against Natalie, who had
powerful supporters like the Larson and the White family, filled her with fear.
With a look of disgust, Garrett brushed off Kailee’s hand and firmly declared,
“This is a matter concerning the Harding family and none of your concern. If
there's nothing else, leave now. I don't want to see you again.”
Kailee was taken aback by Garrett's coldness and his clear animosity towards
her. She couldn't believe that he could hate her so much. But her anger quickly
turned into laughter as she pulled out her phone from her bag, handing it over to
Garrett. “If I leave now, I'm going straight to see Laney.”
Garrett was stunned when he saw what was on Kailee’s phone.
He quickly reached for the phone, his expression contorted upon seeing the
photos on it, visibly disturbed by the impact of what he saw.
Upon noticing the tense expression on Garrett's face, Kailee’s mood suddenly
lifted and she spoke in a cheerful tone. “I believe Laney would find these pictures
quite intriguing.”
“Kailee!” Garrett's hands tightened around the phone as he stared at Kailee,
disbelief etched on his face. “What is it that you want?” he demanded.
Kailee let out a snort of contempt, raising her chin with a smug look as she gazed
at lan.
“First things first, I want you to fire this person,” she declared, pointing an
accusing finger at lan. “We can discuss the other matters afterwards.” Garrett's
face turned crimson with rage as he glared first at lan, then at Kailee. His
breathing became labored as he struggled to regain his composure.
While he did consider the idea of firing lan, Garrett didn’t want to be forced into it
by Kailee. Garrett knew that he was in a difficult situation. If he didn’t do what
Kailee wanted, Laney might find out about the photos, which would be
disastrous. However, if he did fire lan, it would only give Kailee more power over
him. Garrett's mind raced as he weighed the consequences of his actions. He
had never been in a situation like this before, and he felt completely helpless. On
one hand, he didn't want to give in to Kailee’s demands, but on the other hand,
he couldn't bear the thought of Laney seeing those photos.
With a composed tone, lan interjected, “I was sent here by Mrs. Larson. Mr.
Harding doesn’t have the authority to determine my employment status.”
Kailee lazily cast a glance at lan, then turned to the hesitant Garrett and urged
him, “He is a mere assistant. You can handle such a simple thing, can’t you?”
Clenching his fists, Garrett's eyes shifted between lan and Kailee, as if trying to
weigh the consequences of his next move. After a moment of hesitation, he
made up his mind and addressed lan in a low voice, “You may go now, lan.”
“Sure, but you need to discuss this with Mrs. Larson before firing me,” lan calmly
replied.
lan pulled out his phone and dialed Natalie’s number. He then handed the phone
to Kailee and said, “You talk to her.”
The complacent look on Kailee's face disappeared in an instant. She didn’t
expect lan to have the audacity to mention Natalie's name and threaten her.
lan noticed Kailee’s hesitation to speak with Natalie and said, “Mrs. Larson
specifically instructed me to contact her directly if you ever came around to cause
trouble again. I am sure she would be very interested to hear what you have to
say.”
As Kailee stood there, the memories of a phone call came flooding back to her
mind. It was the day when Laney had given birth to her baby, and she had
received a call from Natalie. The voice on the other end had been cold and
unyielding, promising to never let her go if she were to cause problems.
She suddenly panicked and swiftly reached out to grab the phone.
lan stepped back to avoid Kailee. “Don’t threaten me with Natalie!” Kailee
stubbornly retorted, This is a matter concerning the Harding family. Regardless of
how powerful Natalie may be, is it appropriate for her to meddle in other people's
family affairs?”
lan maintained a cold gaze on Kailee, but remained silent.
Although lan was not sure what kind of information Kailee had on her phone that
made Garrett so afraid, he wouldn't just cave in and quit his job.
Garrett may have been afraid of Kailee's threats, but Natalie was not one to be
intimidated by her.
Kailee felt increasingly embarrassed under lan’s calm gaze. Turning to Garrett,
she threatened him openly, “You better take care of lan soon, or I can’t guarantee
that I won't go to Laney right away.”
In spite of his reluctance, Garret had no choice but to hang up lan’s phone. “You
go back first. Don't tell Laney and Natalie what happened here.”
“Garrett!” Kailee appeared dissatisfied with the outcome and declared, “Don’t
forget what I've got...”
“Shut up!”
Garrett cut Kailee off sharply and forcefully pulled her aside.
lan furrowed his brow and watched the departing figures of Kailee and Garrett,
sensing that something wasn't quite right.
Despite not having seen the photos on Kailee’s phone, lan had a sense that
something was amiss based on Garrett's fearful reaction. He suspected that the
situation was difficult to deal with and could possibly hurt Laney.
lan’s mind was clouded with uncertainty. He wasn't sure if he should tell Laney
about his suspicions.

lan remained indecisive about whether to inform Laney of his suspicion after he
returned to the ward.
“lan?” Laney motioned her hand in front of lan and inquired, “Why are you so
distracted? Is something troubling you?”
lan snapped out of his thoughts and met Laney s worried gaze.
He didn’t want to hurt Laney by telling her the truth, but at the same time, he
knew that hiding it from her could also cause harm in the future. Laney smiled at
him and asked, “What happened? Where is Garrett?”
“Mr. Harding...” lan’s gaze fell downward, unable to meet Laney’s innocent eyes.
After all, he didn’t want to say anything that might cause her pain.
Laney clapped her hands and inquired, “Did you and Garrett have an argument?”

lan hesitated for a few seconds and muttered, “Mrs. Harding, if... I mean,
hypothetically speaking, if Mr. Harding were to have an affair, would that make
you very upset?”
Laney’s face froze and her eyes widened in shock as she didn’t expect lan to say
something like that to her.
