The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Laney immediately pushed Garrett out of the way. “Run!”
When Garrett saw that woman, he was stunned. He recognized that woman. Garrett was stuck in a trance and wasn’t able to
react in time. The woman had closed the distance between them in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that it was too late for Garrett to get out of the way, Laney had to run in front of him. She caught the woman’s wrist with
one hand, while the other tried to grab the fruit knife.
“Fuck off, bitch! This is betweenand that son of a bitch!” the woman shouted. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were
wide and bloodshot.
Anyone with a knife was dangerous. The woman, in this crazed state, was unprecedentedly powerful. Moreover, Laney’s wound
hadn’t completely healed. She could do nothing but hold the woman in place as the two struggled on the ground.
“Miss, please calm down!” Laney wrapped her legs around the woman’s waist and desperately gripped the woman’s wrist. The
woman screamed uncontrollably and kept swinging the knife.
During the altercation, Laney suddenly cried out in pain as her shoulder was slashed, leaving a dazzling bloodstain. The woman
was taken aback when she saw the bright red blood. the fruit knife out of the woman’s hand.
“Ah!” she shrieked even louder. Laney seized this opportunity and yanked the fruit knite
Then, she kicked the woman away.The woman collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
Laney tucked the knife away and pressed her hand against her bleeding shoulder. Gritting her teeth, she shot a murderous glare
at Garret.
Seeing that Laney was injured, Garrett finally cto his senses. He ran to her and helped her stand up.
“I’m sorry. I was too slow. Con. I’ll take you back to the hospital.” Laney sighed and shook her head wryly.
“I just got out of the hospital. Now I have to go back there again?” Staring at her bleeding wound, Garrett frowned and his
expression darkened. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“Don’t worry about that now.” In Laney’s eyes, it was best to solve the problem in front of them first. Cradling her wound, she said
through gritted teeth, “I’m fine. Call the police. Let’s sort this out first.”

Judging from what had just happened, the woman’s original target was Garrett.
After mulling over it for a while, Laney asked Garrett seriously, “Who is this woman? Why did she try to stab you?”
Just then, the woman on the ground suddenly exploded into tears. She thrashed her arms angrily and raised her head, revealing
her pretty face.
“I’m this scumbag’s girlfriend!” She glared at Garrett with resentment, and then her hateful gaze shifted to Laney.
“Garrett, you changed your type? She’s a fucking tomboy! I can’t believe this.”
“Why did you leave the hospital?” Garrett asked, pulling Laney behind his back cautiously.
“How else would I have seen your new lover? Garrett, you abandonedand leftin the hospital. What kind of man are you?
I hope you rot in hell, you bastard!” The woman gnashed her teeth and pointed a trembling finger at Garrett.
Garrett frowned. After sslight hesitation, his voice softened somewhat.
‘’ll call the police first, and then I’ll inform your parents. No more messing around. You know why we broke up.”
Hearing this, the woman stared daggers at Garrett. She got up and rushed over to slap him. Fortunately, the security guards in
the area had overheard the commotion and had rushed over to stop the woman. Just then, Garrett’s assistant brought the car
over.
They were all shocked when they saw the puddle of blood on the ground, Laney’s wounded shoulder, and her paper -white face.
Garrett explained the situation briefly and then turned to the guards, “Restrain this woman and call the police.”
Before leaving, he said to his assistant, “Stay here and see it through. I have to take Laney to have her wound treated first. We’ll
talk about the rest later.”
After that, he helped Laney towards the elevator and they went back to the hospital. Inside the elevator, Laney sighed heavily.
She was really unlucky. The knife had cut into one of her old wounds, and it hurt so much.
Staring at her expressionless face for a long time, Garrett finally broke the silence.
“If it hurts, just tell me. You don’t have to act tough here.” Somehow, Garrett’s heart broke when he saw the stubborn look on

Laney’s face. Laney gritted her teeth and applied more pressure on her wound.
“Yes, it hurts. But it’s better to appear invulnerable than to let them think they can defeateasily. Now they’ll have to think
twice before they hurtnext time.”
“I’m not one of them, Miss Garcia.” Garrett sighed helplessly.
Laney stiffened. Was it just her or was Garrett... flirting with her? At this time? Laney rolled her eyes secretly and changed the
topic.
“Cut the crap. Was that woman your ex-girlfriend?”
Garrett wasn’t expecting Laney to brush off his question, much less mention the one embarrassing thing he didn’t want to talk
about. He held on to her arm and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Well... She is an ex-girlfriend of mine. She was spoiled all her life, so she’s quite used to doing things without thinking about the
possible consequences. I must admit that I am partly at fault here. I should have been more firm when I broke up with her; she
wouldn’t have fostered any false hopes that we might get back together again.”
True enough, his ex-girlfriend was a very stubborn brat. When he had first tried to break up with her, she was adamant with her
refusal. They had broken up eventually, but it seemed like she had turned her love for him into ssinister obsession that
prompted her to do horrible things like attacking him with a weapon.
Garrett hung his head and said nothing more. He wasn’t the type to gossip about his exes, regardless of whether he was in good
terms with them or not.
Laney narrowed her eyes at him. Clearly, she didn’t believe a word he had just said, “Are you sure the fault isn’t entirely yours?
Maybe you trampled on her heart too much.”
If the tabloids were to be believed, Garrett had supposedly dated several women at the stime. He was notorious for having
a messy love life. He looked at Laney now, caught between crying and laughing. He was painfully aware of his awful reputation,
as well as the fact that most people believed the stories to be a true.
