The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet)

Chapter 1230 Giving Up The Shares_______

Leo's temper rose when he learned about the ruckus Vera had caused at the hospital.

"Look at you. You're getting more and more reckless!" Leo scolded with rage.

He pointed at Vera and continued, "The Harding family has a reputation to uphold. Yet, how dare you do something as shameful as snatching a child at the hospital?"

Vera did not dare say a word as she knew she was in the wrong.

She had been feeling regretful since the moment she found out that Kailee was not a good person.

Why was she so impulsive? Why did she cause a scene at the hospital, creating a distance between her and her son? Now, she had become the largest laughing stock in Barnes!

Vera was utterly embarrassed. She lowered her head and whispered, "What should we do now?"

Leo frowned and sighed deeply. "Well. There's no other choice. We must personally visit and fetch Laney and her child. Considering us to be her elders, Laney should show us some respect and comply," he replied.

Vera was displeased and grumbled in a small voice, "Laney is our daughter-in-law. Why do we have to plead with her to go home? Moreover, she's quite disobedient now. She may not be willing to come back."

Leo stared at Vera and sneered, "Although you and Laney don't get along well, she still treats me with respect. I'm sure she'll come home if I am to step in." Vera pursed her lips and remained silent. She felt that Laney would not be as compliant.

Soon, the two of them arrived outside of Laney's ward. To prevent any clashes between Vera and Laney, Leo whispered to Vera, "This time, stand aside and watch. Don't say anything unnecessary."

"I got it. Let's hurry in," Vera urged.

Leo cleared his throat and pushed open the door while looking solemn.

However, he was instantly dumbfounded.

The ward was empty, and it looked like it had been unoccupied for quite some time.

Vera went pale from shock and asked, "Where is Laney? Where is my granddaughter?"

Just then, a nurse happened to pass by. Leo quickly stopped her and asked, "Wasn't a patient named Laney Garcia staying in this ward before? Where is she now?"

The nurse replied softly, "She has been discharged and left two days ago."

"She's left? Did Garrett lie to me? He said he would bring Laney home in a few days!" Vera exclaimed in disbelief. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Leo furrowed his brows. He never expected Laney to be discharged ahead of time.

"Call Garrett. Ask him what's going on," Leo muttered harshly.

"No need. You won't find her," Garrett said indifferently, suddenly appearing behind them.

Leo couldn't contain his anger and demanded, "Where is Laney? Where did you hide my granddaughter?"

Garrett's lips curled and mocked, "Thanks to you two, I have no idea where she took the child and went."

Leo became furious and yelled, "Then go and find her! She took a child from the Harding family and ran away!"

Garrett looked at his parents with extreme disgust.

He didn't expect his parents to only think about the child. They were not even concerned about why Laney left.

"I won't look for her," Garrett sneered.

"Even if I find her, she'll just leave again because of the two of you. Thanks to you two, I've lost not only my wife but also my child. I didn't even get a chance to name my daughter before she left," he continued sarcastically.

Vera shouted harshly, "Find the child first. We'll discuss the rest later!"

Garrett scoffed. He then got his assistant to bring out the documents he had prepared and threw them at Leo.

Leo's face turned pale upon seeing the title of the document. He glared at Garrett and asked, "Share Surrender Agreement? What do you mean by this?" Garrett crossed his arms and said coldly, "If you dare to harass Laney and my child again, I'll sign the documents in public and surrender my shares in the Harding Group. That way, the Harding Group and the Harding family will have nothing to do with me anymore."
