The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 720

“You’re the one lacking confidence,” Garrett shot back stubbornly. “I would never be jealous over an assistant.”

“Are you sure about that?” Natalie drawled, her tone laced with insinuation. ‘“Forget it! I’m not dealing with you!”

Embarrassed beyond belief, Garrett wanted nothing more than to vanish. He hung up without waiting for a response from the other end.

At the hospital, Laney’s attending physician encountered Lola after leaving the ward. He stopped her in her tracks and said, “Mrs. Harding won’t use those essential oils.” Lola was confused by how panicked the attending doctor appeared.

“Did something happen? Did they find out anything?”

Too nervous to provide a clear explanation, the attending physician vaguely replied, “Ian, the personal assistant, mentioned that essential oils weren’t suitable for pregnant women, so he replaced all of them.”

“What?” Lola was taken aback. She had no idea that Ian had swapped out the essential oils.

“That’s all I know. Just pay more attention to it.” The attending doctor didn’t dare say more and hastily left after offering his warning.

Lola stood in shock for a moment before recovering her composure. She stomped her foot angrily, exclaiming, “Ian is definitely going against me!”

Previously, she didn’t deliver the gift Kailee entrusted her to give Laney due to Ian’s interference. Now, she had once again failed to fulfill Kailee’s assignment.

Kailee had promised her a handsome reward upon completing the task, but what Ian did had scuppered her reward. The mere thought of it made Lola’s heart ache.
