The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 475

Natalie tossed the invitation card onto the nightstand before lying down on the bed. She inhaled deeply and said, “Nothing.”

Evidently, she was lost in her own world of thoughts.

Upon seeing the invitation card on the nightstand, Brandon took it and read it. His recent work schedule had been fairly full.

Many invitations had been sent to him and Natalie to attend this charity event, but he had always declined.

“Would you want to attend this fundraising dinner?”

Brandon raised an eyebrow and looked at the invitation before uttering calmly, “I do have two meetings on Saturday. But if you’d like to attend this charity dinner, t can always postpone my meetings until next week and accompany you.”

Natalie was hesitant.

“I don’t feel like it. However, when I contacted Laney just now, it looked like Mrs. Harding wanted her to attend the party. l’m just concerned about Laney because I sense that something bad might happen.”

She turned and addressed Brandon, “As you are aware, Laney has never encountered such a scenario before. laney will unquestionably be in a bad position if people purposefully cause her trouble.”

Brandon listened to Natalie attentively as he looked her in the eye.

“Mrs. Harding went in Laney’s room when we were on the phone, and I overheard their conversation. At the upcoming charity event, I have a feeling Mrs. Harding would like to humiliate Laney. Remember, I’ve been there before.”

Natalie clenched her teeth in contemplation.

This was the type of conduct that she strongly disapproved of.

Brandon held the irate Natalie in his arms and murmured in her ear while leaning against her, “Mrs. Harding and I met a few times while Garrett and I were both in high school. Back then, Garrett was known for his disobedience in school. His teachers were continually requesting his parents’ presence at school. Mrs. Harding always acted with grace and tenderness, like the most loving mother in the world, whenever she visited. lt was only later that I learned that his mother was quite possessive.”

This factored into Garrett’s rebellious character. This was a major reason why Garrett resisted taking over the Harding Group a few years ago.

“Garrett’s leaving makes sense. Now it is very evident that Laney is sad within the Harding household.”

Natalie let out a sigh.

For some reason, Brandon had never been curious about the family affairs of others. He wouldn’t have mentioned the Hardings at all if it weren’t for Natalie.
