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.

“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!”

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

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…”
