The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 739

Waving the report triumphantly, Kailee’s grin oozed smugness. “You claim to have married Laney out of compassion. Can you not extend the same sympathy to me and make me your wife?”

Garrett’s voice was thick with disbelief. “You are utterly undeserving of sympathy! You’re a malevolent creature! Your words mean nothing to me!’’

He lunged forward, seizing Kailee’s wrist. “You’re going to redo the pregnancy test this instant!”

As the two grappled with one another, the door to the VIP room burst open. “Enough!’’ Garrett froze at the sound of the all-too- familiar voice.

Visibly flustered, he turned and stammered, “Laney… How did you…?”

Tears cascading down her cheeks, Laney stood in the doorway, Ian’s stoic presence beside her.

Witnessing the chaotic scene before her, Laney’s voice wavered with sorrow. “I know everything. How long were you planning to deceive me, Garrett?”

“No, it’s not what it seems! Let me explain.” Garrett hastily released Kailee, attempting to embrace Laney, but she evaded him.

With her head lowered in disappointment, Laney whispered, “I heard it all. Kailee is carrying your child. What more is there to say?”

“I…” Garrett stammered, desperate to clarify, but Laney’s words left him at a loss for a rebuttal.

His gaze narrowing, Garrett suddenly rounded on Ian, baring his teeth in a snarl. “It was you, wasn’t it? You divulged the sordid details of my entanglement with Kailee to Laney, didn’t you? Did you bring her here deliberately? What was your motive?”

Ian remained unperturbed by Garrett’s rage, calmly responding, “Mrs. Harding chose to come of her own accord. She has every right to know the truth.”

“You orchestrated this!” With an animalistic growl, Garrett lunged at Ian, his fist flying towards Ian’s face.

“Garrett! Stop!”

I never have, and I never will. If you’re really pregnant, get rid of the child. You will only be putting yourself and the kid through hell if you don’t. Do yourself a favor.
