The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 714

Once Garrett had departed, Leo and Vera decided to follow suit, but not before ensuring Laney was in good hands.

“Please, take exceptional care of Laney this time. We can’t afford another incident,” Vera implored, her worry evident. “Keep us informed of any developments, alright?” Lola nodded.

“Rest assured, Mrs. Harding?” Leo’s displeasure was unmistakable as he asked, “What exactly transpired today? Why didn’t you intervene and inform us when Laney and Garrett went to the class reunion?”

“I… I wasn’t aware,” Lola stammered, feeling cornered and fearful under Leo’s penetrating gaze. “Mrs. Harding never mentioned it to me.” Leo huffed, “If such negligence occurs again, you needn’t bother working here!”

Lola hung her head, biting her l*p and holding her t***ue.

After Leo and Vera had left, Lola couldn’t help but glance resentfully at Laney in her hospital bed.

She blamed Laney entirely for her plight. If it hadn’t been for Laney, Lola would never have faced such a reprimand!

The hospital housing Laney was under the Gibson family’s control, and it didn’t take long for Kailee to receive word of Laney’s hospitalization.

“Why is she hospitalized? How’s the baby?” Kailee’s voice tinged with anticipation.
