The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Much to her astonishment, Garrett remained mute and ushered her directly into the VIP room upon setting eyes on her.

Kailee surveyed the stark, sterile chamber with a tinge of dissatisfaction. She immediately wore a petulant expression and queried, “Why have you brought me here? I thought we were embarking on a date. Don’t tell me you’re reneging on your promise.”

Garrett’s gaze bore into Kailee, emanating a formidable chill. “This is your final opportunity. Tell me truthfully, what transpired between us on the day Laney went into labor?”

“What are you insinuating?” Kailee’s heart stuttered at his inquiry, but she endeavored to maintain her composure. “If you’re contemplating backpedaling on our agreement, I’ll go inform Laney this instant.” Garrett scrutinized her obstinate and unyielding countenance and released a frigid sneer.

He promptly produced the evidence Natalie had procured and laid it before Kailee. “The time for pretense is over. The truth can no longer be evaded.”

Following his farewell to Laney that fateful day, Garrett had jetted off to an international hotel for critical business negotiations.

Prior to his marriage, Garrett had been quite the libertine. One undeniable fact was his remarkable ability to hold his liquor.

However, that day, after just a few drinks with his business associate, Garrett found himself reeling, disoriented and unsteady. He brushed it off as a waning tolerance, a consequence of reduced consumption since tying the knot.

Fighting through the dizziness, he managed to conclude the negotiations. As he attempted to take his leave, he realized his assistant had vanished into the restroom and had yet to return.

The vertigo intensified, making it nearly impossible for him to remain on his feet. It was then that Kailee materialized and whisked him away.

At that point, Garrett’s consciousness was slipping, and he couldn’t recognize the figure before him. He was in a stupor as Kailee guided him from the premises.

The instant Kailee’s eyes fell upon the proof shown by Garrett, her visage drained of color.

Summoning her composure, she scoffed, “I merely chanced upon you. Seeing you struggle to walk, I lent a hand to get you to your room.

I never anticipated you’d concoct such fables to weasel out of your commitment. Truly absurd.”

Garrett marveled at Kailee’s unwavering resolve. Even when confronted with evidence, she coolly deflected blame. It was no surprise she was capable of such nefarious deeds.

Luckily, Garrett came prepared.

“May your stubbornness persist,” Garrett grinned, clapping his hands.

In an instant, the VIP room door swung open. Garrett s assistant entered with the hotel staff who had been on duty that day. Kailee’s eyes widened upon seeing the waiter, her hands quivering behind her back. The assistant ushered the waiter forward and icily recounted, “I was at the hotel with Mr. Harding that day. During the dinner, I went to the restroom, and was accosted by a drunken lout who smashed my phone and hauled me to a hotel room.”

With a strained smile, Kailee retorted, “What does that have to do with me? Did I command the drunk to do that?”

The assistant fixed his gaze on her and continued, “I tracked down the drunk. He’s merely a part-time actor. He was paid double by someone to obstruct me, and that someone was this waiter.”

The assistant then delivered a swift kick to the trembling waiter, his voice low and menacing, “As a waiter, how could you possibly have the funds to hire a part-time actor to frame Mr. Harding?”

The waiter shuddered, cautiously looking at Kailee before stammering, “This… this woman, she gave me a large sum, asked me to find someone to stop you, and to covertly drug Mr. Harding…”

Eyes wide with indignation, Kailee bellowed, “Nonsense! I don’t know you at all!”

She rounded on Garrett, fury in her eyes. If you wish to renege on our agreement, so be it. But why hire someone to defame me? Do you truly wish to cross the Gibson family?

“Compose yourself. Let him finish,” Garrett replied, his smile dripping with disdain. Kailee shot the waiter a fierce glare and sneered, “Why should I lend credence to a waiter’s drivel? Who knows if you’re all in cahoots? I’ve no time for such games.” With that, Kailee snatched her handbag, intent on departing.

Garrett coolly glanced at his assistant, who promptly intercepted Kailee, a disingenuous grin on his face, “Miss Gibson, I advise you to listen carefully.”

“Get lost!” Kailee snapped.

The assistant’s smile remained as he cautioned, “Miss Gibson, even if I step aside, you won’t escape. Our people are stationed downstairs.”

Kailee’s breath caught in her throat, and she crumpled.

She hadn’t foreseen Garrett’s ruthlessness. Garrett’s smile never wavered as he gestured to the waiter. “Continue.”

Trepidation in his voice, the waiter resumed, “The lady instructed me to monitor Mr. Harding s condition after administering the drug. She ordered me to notify her the moment Mr. Harding’s business dinner concluded. She would then swoop in and whisk Mr. Harding away.”

Kailee rounded on the waiter, her voice a venomous hiss. “Speak another falsehood and you’ll find yourself at odds with the entire Gibson family.”

This was an unmistakable threat. But with Garrett’s guarantee of protection, the waiter, though fearful, mustered the courage to present the hotel check-in records from that day.

Kailee had checked in two hours earlier than Garrett, revealing that she had been lying in wait.

Concerned that the evidence might be insufficient, the waiter produced the surveillance footage from that day.

The video clearly showed Kailee intercepting the waiter and guiding him to a secluded corner. She had also been prowling the hotel beforehand, evidently scouting the premises.

Confronted with the evidence presented by the waiter, Garrett coldly inquired, “What more do you have to say, Kailee?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

Helplessly, Kailee stared at the proof, her crimson lips quivering in silence.

She never imagined that Natalie would investigate so thoroughly, even bringing forth all the key evidence and witnesses.

“Did you not claim to have eradicated every trace of those surveillance recordings?”

Realizing there was no point in feigning ignorance any longer, Kailee’s fury ignited as she pointed a menacing finger at the trembling waiter. “You deceitful snake! Was my payment not sufficient enough

for your treachery?”

Cowering, the waiter could not muster the courage to speak.

The truth was that he had indeed erased the surveillance footage at Kailee’s behest. However, in his sheer negligence, he had overlooked the existence of a backup file, which was discovered by Natalie. Consequently, he was forced to appear as a witness against his will.

At the sight of Kailee’s frenzied countenance, the anguish and resentment that had long festered within Garrett’s heart dissipated.

He gloated, “The entire Gibson clan has been apprised of your devious schemes. Persist, and media broadcasts your sordid tale far and wide, branding you as a home-wrecker without remorse.”

Kailee’s thoughts swirled in disarray. She had never anticipated that Garrett would be so merciless, exposing her darkest secrets to the world and obliterating her reputation. As the Gibson family heiress, her involvement in such a scandal would undoubtedly wreak havoc on their corporate empire, causing stocks to plummet and making damage control near-impossible.

Gritting her teeth, Kailee struggled to regain her composure. “Regardless, we did share a bed. Unless you can show me the footage from that night to prove you didn’t sleep with me.”

Garrett’s expression darkened. “Is this your last stand?”

Following a brief, tense silence, Kailee’s demeanor shifted dramatically, her face now adorned with a radiant smile. “Actually, there’s something else I need to share with you. Let’s discuss it after you’ve seen this.” She withdrew a document from her purse, her voice tinged with a coy timidity. “This is a pregnancy test report from the city hospital. The timeline indicates that I became pregnant the day after our tryst.” Dumbfounded, Garrett stood motionless, his gaze locked on the report in Kailee’s grasp.

He opened his mouth to speak, but words failed him.
