The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 742

Unwilling to back down, Vera’s face flushed with anger. “I didn’t come here to argue with you,” she gritted her teeth and said. “Step aside. I need to take my grandchild away.”

“She is my daughter! Why do you think you have the right to take her away?” Garrett snapped back, his anger building.

The estrangement between Laney and him was due in part to Vera’s intervention. Although Garrett had decided not to dwell on it, he never expected Vera to remain unrepentant and attempt to take their child.

“Because she is a descendant of the Harding family!” Vera stated self- righteously.

“I allowed you to marry Laney only because she was carrying your child. I never expected her to be so restless and even change hospital and take away the child without my permission! I cannot allow such a woman to be the daughter-in -law of our Harding family!”

Garrett’s eyes narrowed. “How did you find out that Laney has changed questioned his mother in a cold voice.

“It has nothing to do with Kailee. I figured it out on my own,” Vera denied it, but her nervous expression gave her away.

In fact, Vera had received a call from Kailee earlier that morning.

“Mrs. Harding, there’s something I don’t know whether to tell you or not,” Kailee said on the phone as she sobbed.

Vera frowned with concern. “What happened?” she asked.

Kailee put on a tone of guilt and said, “It’s my fault. I upset Laney, and she moved to another hospital last night.”

Vera was shocked and asked, “Laney transferred to another hospital? What happened?”

Kailee knew she had Vera’s attention and continued with a helpless tone, “Last time, when Garrett was drunk during a business trip abroad, I happened to be at the same hotel and helped him back to his room. But unexpectedly…”
