The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 715

Laney had managed to infiltrate the Harding family by virtue of her pregnancy. But without Mr. and Mrs. Harding’s acceptance, she could be easily ousted by Kailee.

Furthermore, Garrett was notorious for his playboy antics. Surely, he wouldn’t be content with a woman of such ordinary origins?

The more Kailee contemplated, the more smug and self-assured she became. She could practically taste the victory, as if she could cast Laney aside and ensconce herself in the Harding family in mere moments.

“Mrs. Harding, I must accept my share of the blame as well. Had I been more vigilant, none of this would have transpired.”

With practiced restraint, Kailee hid her glee and adopted a contrite exp**ssion. “The hospital where Laney resides is owned by my family. We shall ensure she receives the utmost care and delivers a healthy child.”

Vera found herself increasingly drawn to Kailee. With a tender pat on Kailee’s hand, she said warmly, “Thank you. Please do visit more frequently. Garrett is constantly occupied with work, and Laney and I have little in common. It’s truly a delight to converse with you.”

Kailee beamed, “I’m thrilled you feel that way. Mrs. Harding, I’ve heard that Prada has released a stunning new necklace that would be perfect for you. Shall we go take a look?” Vera also wanted to go shopping. When she heard this, she nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go and have a look.”

At the boutique, Vera was captivated by the pearl necklace. Just as she prepared to pay, Kailee had already instructed the saleswoman to wr*p it and completed the transaction. “You don’t have to pay for this,” Vera said, with a hint of commendation in her voice though. Kailee gently smiled. “I couldn’t possibly let an elder pay the bill.”

The saleswoman, handing the packaged jewelry to Vera, couldn’t help but compliment her, “My lady, you are fortunate to have such a dutiful daughter-in-law.”

Kailee blushed and demurred, I am not her daughter-in-law.”

“I apologize. You seemed so devoted I assumed you were this lady’s daughter-in-law.” Vera couldn’t help
