The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 750 Vera's eyes fell on Natalie, and she sneered, “You really like to stand up for your friends. You made life difficult for the Harding family, again and again, all for Laney’s sake. And now you're opposingagain for this minor designer.” Natalie knew that Vera was just here to humiliate her and her friends.

She stopped being polite and said coldly, “Mrs. Harding, you can catif you are angry. There is no need to pick on my friend.” Vera retorted provocatively, “I'm here to get my clothes designed. What's wrong with that? Are you driving a customer out?” Natalie didn’t want to quarrel with Vera in the studio. She turned around and whispered to Elizabeth, “Helprequest a time-out. I'll handle her outside.” Elizabeth pulled her sleeve and said worriedly, “She’s purposely here to make trouble. Can you handle it alone?” Natalie patted Elizabeth's hand and comforted her, “I can handle it. Don’t worry.” Elizabeth knew she couldn't change Natalie's mind. So, she turned around and left to request a time-out for her.

After Elizabeth left, Natalie looked at Vera calmly and suggested, “Let’s settle our differences outside. | don’t want to inconvenience my co-workers.” Vera's intended to embarrass Natalie in public so she wouldn't leave so easily. “I have nothing to talk to you about. I'm here to get my clothes designed,” she said stubbornly.

Natalie knew Vera's goal and asked directly, “Don’t you want to know where Laney and her baby are?” Vera's fingers slightly froze, and the anger on her face faded a little. She must admit, Natalie had figured out what was on her mind.

Her purpose was not only to humiliate Natalie but also to find out where Laney was. However, Vera still didn’t want to let go of Natalie easily. She denied, “I don’t care where Laney is. She'd better not cback. Ask your boss to cas soon as possible. If the designers can’t do as | request, ask your boss to design it forin person.” Natalie had already seen through Vera's thoughts. She looked at her phone on purpose and feigned a regretful expression. “Laney just sentmany photos of the baby. The baby is so cute. Mrs. Harding, if you don’t want to see them, then forget it. Please wait here while I call my boss over.” With that, Natalie sighed and turned to leave.

“Wait!” Vera shouted abruptly.

She couldn't resist the temptation and asked reluctantly, “Where do you want to talk?” Natalie brought Vera to a newly opened cafe next to the W Marks Studio.

As soon as they sat down, Vera asked impatiently, “Where did you hide Laney and the child?” Instead of answering her question, Natalie responded firmly, “What do you plan to do with Laney after finding her? Will you arrange for another assistant to spy on her? Or are you planning on just taking the child away?” Vera leaned back on the chair and sneered, “I won't do anything to her. It doesn’t matter if she comes back or not as long as she returns my granddaughter to me.” To her, Laney was someone who had ruined their family. She wanted Laney to disappear forever, but the child was part of the Harding family, so she had to be returned.

Upon hearing Vera's heartless answer, Natalie felt a strong sense of disgust.

Vera was apparently unaware of her faults and did not regard Laney as family. With a mother-in-law like her, it was no wonder why Laney was so determined to leave.

Natalie furrowed her brows and said coldly, “If that’s the case, then there's no point in having a conversation.

Even if | knew where Laney went, | wouldn't tell you.” Vera's face darkened, and she threatened, “Don’t think you can get away with everything just because you have the White family and the Larson Group backing you up. Are you sure you want to go against the Harding family for just a bodyguard?” Natalie snorted disdainfully and replied, “Mrs. Harding, do whatever you want. I'm ready to take you on anytime.

But I'm curious. How would Garrett or Mr. Harding react if they knew you were here to make things difficult for me?” “You!” Vera cried angrily, feeling at a loss for words.

Vera cto humiliate Natalie without Garrett's and Leo’s knowledge. If they were to find out, they would probably ground her.

Just then, a waiter arrived with their coffee. After expressing her gratitude to the waiter, Natalie took gritted her teeth in anger as she watched Natalie behaving so calmly.

Meanwhile, Natalie felt a little pleased when she saw the frustration on Vera's face from the corner of her eye.

While Natalie respected her elders, she couldn't help but feel compelled to speak up for Laney, who had endured too much injustice in the Harding family.

“What will it take for you to tellwhere Laney is?” Vera asked impatiently.

Natalie set down her coffee and answered coolly, “Mrs. Harding, what's the rush? Letguess. Kailee must have told you to cto me, right?” Vera's heart skipped a beat. She did not expect Natalie to guess that.

Natalie could tell from Vera's reaction that she had hit the nail on the head. She shook her head disappointedly and explained, “I won't tell you where Laney is because | don’t want you to be further manipulated by Kailee.

That will only cause trouble for Laney and even ruin her relationship with Garrett.” Vera's face flushed when she heard Natalie's reasoning.

What Natalie had said was undeniable.

However, she was a haughty upper-class socialite. Being silenced by a younger person for the first tleft Vera feeling very angry.

Thinking about Natalie's life before she was brought back to the White family, Vera couldn't help mocking, “How dare you talk tolike that? You're just an uncultured girl with no idea how important an heir is to a family.” Natalie felt her anger rise as Vera attacked her past. She couldn’t help but retort, “Despite your noble upbringing, how could you be so easily manipulated by others? Not only have you driven your daughter-in-law away, but now you can’t even see your granddaughter.” Natalie's words infuriated Vera, causing her face to turn livid in anger.

She glared harshly at Natalie and grumbled, “Is this how you were taught to speak to elders in the White family? It seems that | have to get Johanna to discipline you properly!” However, before Vera could say anything else, a voice cfrom behind.

“My daughter has always been perfect. She doesn’t need you to tell her what to do, Mrs. Harding.” Upon hearing the words, Vera turned around with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Johanna was gracefully standing there.

“Hey, Mom. You're here!” Natalie said, not surprised by Johanna'’s arrival because she was the one who had secretly texted her, asking her to come.
