The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 747

Vera rued her past decisions.

Dissatisfied with Laney’s humble origins, she had embraced Kailee, who hailed from a respectable family and possessed a charming demeanor. To Vera, she had seemed the perfect daughter-in-law.

Caught off guard, Vera hadn’t anticipated Kailee’s deceit.

“How was I to know she’d be so cunning?” Vera sighed, turning to Leo with trepidation. “What do we do now? With Garrett in this state, can we still make amends?”

Leo was equally vexed.

Given Garrett’s temperament, further impulsive actions could sever their relationship permanently.

“For now, do nothing. Just wait for Garrett to bring Laney back,” Leo instructed, his voice heavy. “As for social events, avoid them. Tell people you’re traveling. I’ll have the housekeeper book your ticket.”

Since Laney refused to return home, the Harding family had become the object of ridicule in their social circle. Vera’s recent outburst at the hospital only intensified the scorn directed at the entire family.

Conversations about the Harding’s now often carried an undertone of mockery and disdain.

After all, they all belonged to prominent families. Regardless of their feelings toward in-laws, they would never cross the line. They would do anything possible to preserve their reputations. It was inconceivable that they could stoop to the level of the Hardings, who had driven their daughter-in-law to flee her own home.

“But our granddaughter…” Vera protested, discontent etched on her face.
