The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 736

They had been cautious, but they couldn’t stop Kailee’s cunning scheme.

“Tell me!” Laney cried out, desperation evident in her voice. “Did you know about the affair between Garrett and Kailee? Why did you all lie to me?”

At that moment, the baby began to babble, indicating that she was waking up.

As Laney looked at the sleeping baby beside her, she bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her tears.

Ian couldn’t bear to see the grief-stricken look on her face any longer. “We didn’t mean to lie to you,” he confessed. “We had our doubts about this matter. It’s very likely that Kailee planned everything. Mr. Harding might not have had an affair. We wanted to gather irrefutable evidence before telling you the truth.”

“The truth? What truth?” Laney’s voice was cold as she picked up the photo and waved it before Ian. “Don’t tell me Kailee kidnapped Garrett and forced him to take the photo on bed!”

Ian let out a sigh. “Mrs. Harding, you used to be a top professional bodyguard. You should have seen through these schemes.”

Laney managed to force a smile and said nothing.

As a professional, she should have been able to analyze the situation rationally, but she was still an ordinary person, affected by her emotions.

She had also just given birth and was not prepared to hear that her husband had cheated on her. How could she have possibly reacted calmly to that kind of information?

The recording, which revealed that Garrett married her out of sympathy, only added to her heartbreak.

She had her doubts whether Garrett married her out of pity.
