The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

In the ward, Garrett and Laney were having a heart-to-heart talk. Natalie did not want to disturb them. Since Lola was still locked up and hadn’t been dealt with, she decided on dealing with Lola first.

“Let me out! You can’t keep me in captivity here. This is illegal!”

Lola screamed her threats at Mesue. “Do you know who I work for? A mere bodyguard like you can’t afford to offend the Harding family.” Mesue kept a straight face, letting her words in one ear and out the other.

Natalie wasn’t expecting to see Lola still this arrogant. With a sneer, she looked at Lola coldly.

When Lola finally saw Natalie, she fell silent for a moment, then craned her neck and pretended to be calm.

“Natalie, let me out. I’m working for Mr. Harding. You won’t really dare hurt me, right? You can’t go against the Harding family.” Lola was so foolish and naive that it amused Natalie. “From what I know, you have a younger brother studying in Barnes. You came here for him, right?”

Lola’s heart tightened. Fear rose in her ch*st, making her breathing slow. “What do you want?” Natalie spoke slowly, making sure her every word was clear. “From now on, no one from your family is allowed to set foot on Barnes again. As for you, you can confess your sins in prison for the rest of your life.”

The serious look on Natalie’s face, matched with the severity of her statement, made Lola tremble in fear. Her face turned paper white as she shouted, “I don’t believe you! Mr. Harding will help me! Miss Gibson won’t let me suffer here!”

Coldly, Natalie smiled and said, “This is what Garrett had wanted. You attempted to hurt his wife. Do you really expect his father to save you? The Harding family won’t help you now. Do you really think Mr.

Harding will choose you, a mere assistant over his son?”

Lola looked like a ghost now. She stared at Natalie, eyes blank and l*ps trembling.

“You’re lucky Laney is fine now.” Natalie looked Lola straight in the eyes. Her voice was chilling when she continued, “Otherwise, you will be charged with homicide. You’ll be a murderer because you conspired with Kailee to k*ill Laney. Now Kailee could only be desperate to get rid of you, how can she possibly help you?”

Lola’s heart sank. “Kailee… She lied to me… I had no idea she was planning on k*illing Mrs. Harding…”

However, her chance to repent had passed. It was too late now.

Garrett’s men were already quietly waiting at the door. When Natalie and Lola’s conversation was over, they stormed in and took Lola out.

They covered her mouth and all she could do was whimper. “Waah… Waah…”

Lola struggled hard, but she was too weak to resist the brute force of a group of strong men. No matter how desperate she was to break away, she couldn’t do anything to prevent them from dragging her.

Despite seeing that Lola was finally getting dragged out, the anger in Natalie’s heart was still raging.

Laney almost died. How could she calm down? Brandon let out a dragged sigh. He had been following her silently all this time. wr*pping Natalie in his arms, he patted her head softly while comforting her, “Don’t worry. It’s all over. Both Laney and her baby are fine. As for Kailee, I’m sure Garrett will deal with her well. He will never let go of anyone who hurt Laney.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Natalie buried her head in Brandon’s arms. Her voice was muffled as she said, “I was so scared. Laney almost died. Brandon, do you think something like that would happen to me?” Holding Natalie tightly in

his arms, Brandon promised solemnly, “No. I promise to protect you the best I can. I will never put you in any harm.”

The whole day, Natalie had been nothing but anxious. Only now had she finally relaxed. She held on to Brandon tightly, releasing the tension on her shoulders and the fear in her heart. Tears burst out from her eyes.

With a sigh, Brandon kept Natalie wr*pped in his arms, not minding the tears that soaked his expensive designer suit.

“The number you’ve dialed cannot be reached at this moment. Please call back later.”

“Damn it!” Kailee r*bbed her temples, clearly irritated.

She had just returned from a trip and had been trying to get in t*ouch with Lola, but to no avail. She couldn’t help but feel a bit agitated.

Just as she was plotting her next move, her phone lit up.

She picked it up and saw a message from Laney’s attending physician. “Laney gave birth to a girl. She and the baby are doing just fine.”

The message only served to irritate Kailee some more. She hadn’t expected Laney to be lucky enough to survive the accident! As it turned out, it was all Kailee’s doing. First, she bribed Lola and got her to distract Ian. Then, she told the physician to stall and buy some more time. Finally, she had a care worker w*et the floor of Laney’s ward, causing her to sl*p and have her baby prematurely.

When Laney was rescued after her fall, Kailee immediately asked the care worker to sneak back into the ward and mop up every drop of water on the floor.

As an extra precaution against the worst-case scenario, she sent someone to delete all the surveillance footage of the corridor in Laney’s ward. That way, even if her plan were exposed later, there’d be no evidence to prove that she had really caused Laney’s premature delivery. 4

As the hospital belonged to the Gibson family, it wasn’t too hard for her to pull all of these strings.

In her quest to k*ill Laney and the baby, Kailee had taken every possible factor into account. Despite this, she seemed to have neglected Brandon and Natalie.

She’d planned to instruct the physician to k*ill Laney during the operation, but hadn’t expected that Brandon would contract a different doctor to help save Laney after finding out that shed suffered a hemorrhage.

The physician that Kailee had arranged for Laney was terrified of the Larson Group and the White family. In addition to that, the doctor that Brandon came along with was present throughout the operation, so he didn’t dare do anything.

With all this in mind, Kailee began to develop a throbbing headache.

She hadn’t expected all her efforts to be in vain. “Idiot, you couldn’t even carry out such a simple task.”

Kailee couldn’t help but curse at the physician’s message.

In order to deal with the situation, however, she endured the irritation she felt and paid the physician handsomely, asking him to retreat to a clinic in the countryside and keep a low profile for a while.

After receiving the bank alert confirming that the money had been sent, he happily complied with Kailee’s suggestion.

Afterwards, she sat on the sofa and pondered upon other solutions to her peculiar predicament.

Now, Laney had successfully given birth to her child. Even if Leo and Vera didn’t like her initially, they’d subconsciously begin to accept her for the sake of Garrett and the baby. This was completely unacceptable to Kailee. She had planned several things, and had spent a lot of time and effort pleasing Leo and Vera. In addition to this, she had lavishly paid off Lola and the physician to k*ill Laney and her unborn baby – all in a bid to marry into the Harding family.

In the end, it seemed like it would have all been for nothing. The mere prospect of this made her struggle to maintain her composure.

After giving the situation some thought for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She unlocked her phone and glanced at a picture on it. A devious smile immediately flashed across on her face.

There were two people in the photo. The one on the left was Garrett, who had lied that he was going on a business trip. He was sound asleep in a bed with his clothes completely ruffled. The woman on the right was Kailee, scantily dressed and flushed.

“Oh Garrett…” Stroking the photo, Kailee muttered, You’ll be mine sooner or later.”

Kailee gazed at the photo displayed on her phone, envisioning the sheer turmoil and devastation that would contort Laney’s features upon witnessing this image. As she contemplated this, a sinister grin of gratification spread across her face.
