Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1187

At the hospital, Laney's attending physician encountered Lola after leaving the ward. He stopped her in her tracks and said, "Mrs. Harding won't use those essential oils."

Lola was confused by how panicked the attending doctor appeared. "Did something happen? Did they find out anything?"

Too nervous to provide a clear explanation, the attending physician vaguely replied, "Ian, the personal assistant, mentioned that essential oils weren't suitable for pregnant women, so he replaced all of them."

"What?" Lola was taken aback.

She had no idea that Ian had swapped out the essential oils.

"That's all I know. Just pay more attention to it." The attending doctor didn't dare say more and hastily left after offering his warning.

Lola stood in shock for a moment before recovering her composure. She stomped her foot angrily, exclaiming, "Ian is definitely going against me!"

Previously, she didn't deliver the gift Kailee entrusted her to give Laney due to Ian's interference. Now, she had once again failed to fulfill Kailee's assignment.

Kailee had promised her a handsome reward upon completing the task, but what Ian did had scuppered her reward. The mere thought of it made Lola's heart ache.

Left with no other recourse, she decided to call Kailee and report the situation.

"Miss Gibson, the essential oils you asked me to place in Mrs. Harding's room were all discarded by another personal assistant, Ian. I'm afraid I won't be able to put the essential oils in her room anymore."

As soon as the call connected, Lola respectfully relayed the circumstances to Kailee.

"The essential oils were thrown away?"

Though Kailee was seething with anger, she maintained an elegant and composed demeanor. But after hanging up, her expression shifted instantly.

Once again, it was Ian who had foiled her plan!

If she couldn't execute her plan in a covert manner, she'd have to resort to more forceful measures.
