The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728

Laney maintained a firm expression and spoke with assurance. “Garrett may be immature, but he is not a bad person. Despite the significant disparity in our social status, he has remained devoted and considerate to me ever since we got married. I trust that he would never be unfaithful. Ian, I’m aware that Garrett hasn’t been treating you well lately. That’s entirely his responsibility.” Laney offered a regretful smile and continued, “You are an exceptional and competent personal assistant. I will have a frank conversation with Garrett and urge him to let go of his biases.”

Ian hung his head, declining to speak any further. In essence, he was even more uncertain about how to confess the truth to Laney.

Laney had complete faith in Garrett. If Garrett were to betray her trust, it would deal a devastating blow to her.

How could he muster the courage to tell her that?

Just as Ian found himself caught in a quandary, his phone unexpectedly began to ring. The caller was Natalie.

“Pardon me, would it be alright if I answer the phone?” Ian asked politely.

Upon receiving Laney’s consent, he stepped outside to take the call.

“Ian, I was occupied with work and didn’t hear my phone ring. Is everything alright?”

Natalie sounded perplexed as she inquired over the phone.

Following a brief pause, Ian ultimately resolved to disclose Garrett’s unusual behavior to Natalie. As Laney’s closest confidante and Ian’s employer, he trusted that Natalie would be able to uncover the truth.

A luxurious Maybach sped along the winding road, heading towards the wealthiest area in Barnes.

In the warmth and comfort of the car, Natalie sat at the back, her frown deepening as she listened to Ian’s report through the phone. Ian told her every single suspicious move of Garrett’s.

“What? Are you sure of what you’re saying?” Natalie’s eyebrows furrowed in disbelief. She just had to be sure that Ian wasn’t mistaken.

“Of course, I’m sure!” Ian answered immediately. Natalie stayed silent for a moment, deep in her thoughts. But Sean, who was driving, couldn’t stay quiet after what he had heard. “Mr. Harding is going too far! His wife is still on her way to recovery after giving birth to his child in critical condition. How can he, in good conscience, cheat on her?”

Natalie was also angry, but she calmed down and tried to reason things out. It wouldn’t help to act out of anger.

She caught Sean’s eyes through the rear-view mirror and shook her head for him to recover himself.

With a heavy sigh, she said into the phone, “Ian, keep this from Laney for now, okay? Let me look into it first.”

After hanging up, she leaned back into the seat and gently massaged her temples. She was starting to feel a headache coming on from all these.

What the hell did Kailee have on Garrett to make him acting this way?

Was Ian right? Did Garrett really cheat on Laney?

Seated by Natalie in the car, Brandon watched her and sighed softly in resignation.

He had come to pick Natalie up after work to take her out on a nice date. But of course, Garrett just had to ruin it in one way or the other.

And while that was going on, Garrett… the scumbag, was off the grid. But now, it was obvious why he was unreachable. That bastard was having the time of his life with Kailee. Kailee was behind everything that happened to Laney—her premature delivery and all the complications that followed. Natalie could only be grateful that she arrived on time that day. If not…

Filled with rage, Natalie clutched the document so hard that her fingertips became white. Her breathing suddenly became shallow, and came in short gasps.

“Natalie!”

Brandon called in panic when he saw what was happening. He quickly asked Sean to park at the side of the road so he could check on Natalie more easily.

After the Maybach quickly pulled to a stop by the side of the road, Brandon opened the door and helped Natalie out. He held her and patted her back gently.

Still breathing with difficulty, Natalie leaned against the guardrail at the side of the road for support.

After a long time, she finally calmed down enough to breathe normally.

She took a deep breath and gazed ahead of her at the high mountains shrouded in mist in the distance. “Why didn’t you tell me when you found out?” Her voice was so low.

Brandon sighed dejectedly. The pained look on her pale face broke him. “This is why! I was scared you would let your anger consume you,” he said helplessly.

Actually, his plan had been to take care of it on his own. He never thought Natalie would find out before he did.
