The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 753

Chapter 753

Slowly, Vera’s lingering misgivings finally dissipated.

“Since the baby is doing well, I’m glad.”

Vera reluctantly took her eyes off the photo and added, “However, I still hope that you can persuade Laney to come back soon. As elders, we cannot help but worry when she is out there alone with her child.” Natalie nodded and assured, “Please don’t worry. I trust that Garrett and Laney can handle their relationship and take good care of the child.”

Having heard Natalie’s reassurance, Vera left, contented.

Watching her receding figure, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

“You’ve been working hard. Don’t think too much about Garrett and Laney’s matters. Let them solve it themselves,” Johanna said, patting her daughter’s back.

Natalie sighed and stated, “I can’t really intervene in their relationship issues, anyway.”

She suddenly held Johanna’s hand. “Mom, thank you. If you hadn’t come in time and brought in those ladies, I’m afraid Mrs. Harding wouldn’t have cooled down so soon.”

Natalie had anticipated that Vera would come looking for her, and she knew that Vera was troubled by the gossip spreading in their social circle.

She had told about all of this to Johanna, hoping that she could help come up with a solution, which would not only dissuade Vera from bothering Laney but also quash the gossip about the Harding family.

As a result, Johanna did figure out how to do that.

While Natalie brought Vera to the cafe, she organized a tea party to scotch the gossip for Vera.

Fortunately, the result turned out to be just as good as she had expected.

Those ladies believed Johanna’s words without a doubt. They stopped ridiculing and judging Vera for mistreating her daughter-in-law.

However, Natalie was very curious about how Johanna came up with such a plan.

Johanna smiled and patted her daughter’s hand, looking resourceful and elegant.

“I’ve been in Barnes for so long that I have come to understand a bit about the personalities of these ladies. Take Vera, for example. She cares greatly about her reputation and that’s why she was eager to bring Laney back to scotch the rumors. Now that everyone believes that Vera was wronged by those baseless rumors. She certainly won’t cause trouble for Laney anymore,” explained Johanna.

Natalie nodded thoughtfully, impressed with her mother’s insight.

It was no wonder that Johanna was a socialite everyone in Barnes praised. She effortlessly resolved the scandal and left no trace of negligence.

Natalie held her mother’s arm and said sweetly, “Thank goodness, I have you, Mom! Or I wouldn’t have known how to solve this problem by myself.”

Johanna affectionately rubbed Natalie’s nose and said lovingly, “I want everyone to know that you have your family’s full support, regardless of what you do.”

Natalie was deeply moved, but she was also a bit puzzled. “Mom, do you think that what I did to help Laney was wrong?” she asked.

Johanna’s expression turned serious as she said, “You did make one mistake.”
