The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 723

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 l*p 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?”
