The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

A frigid laugh slipped from Suzanne’s lips as she snapped her fingers. In an instant, her lawyer materialized by her side, a contract in hand.

With a voice as frosty as winter’s breath, the lawyer addressed Vivi, “Given your repeated slandering of our company and the consequent damage to our reputation, we’ve decided to end our cooperation with you. Please sign this contract.”

A pen was thrust into Vivi’s hand, her fingers closing around it almost mechanically. Yet, she paused, pen hovering above the dotted line, her name waiting to be etched.

Suzanne, noting the hesitation, chilled the air further with her icy retort. “Need me to sign on your behalf?”

Vivi’s teeth found her bottom lip, gnawing at it. Seconds ticked by before she finally forced her trembling hands to sign the contract.

With the Vivi debacle handled, Suzanne had no more time to waste on her. She swivelled towards Natalie, a sincere apology on her lips. “Miss White, I truly regret the turmoil you’ve been through. I hope you won’t bear a grudge.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Her words hung in the air as her gaze slid towards Brandon, a conversation yet to be had written in her eyes.

Natalie shook her head and calmly said, “If Vivi’s actions were solely her doing, I won’t hold Star Entertainment responsible for it.”

Just as Suzanne was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Natalie calmly added,

“However, if you happen to be the person behind it all, that’ll be a different story.”

“Miss White, please believe me. I bear no grudge or ill will towards you. I have no reason to frame you, as that wouldn’t serve me in any way,” Suzanne quickly reassured Natalie, with her gaze repeatedly wandering nervously towards Brandon.

Natalie smiled but remained silent. Her eyes subtly shifted to Brandon, making a quiet inquiry about the nature of his relationship with Suzanne.

Brandon caught Natalie’s gaze and innocently shook his head, signalling that he didn’t even know Suzanne.

Upon noticing the coded interaction between the two of them, Suzanne smiled amicably and clarified, “Miss White, please don’t get me wrong. Our company is planning to tender for the Larson Group’s project, and I was worried that this incident might give Mr. Larson a bad impression of us. That’s why I wanted to provide him with some clarification.”

Natalie immediately understood the situation. “I see.”

Suzanne nodded and addressed Brandon with a palpable tone of sincerity, saying, “I truly hope that this incident won’t give you a negative impression of our company, Mr. Larson. Please accept my apologies once again on behalf of Star Entertainment.”

Brandon maintained a composed expression as he responded, saying, “Tender evaluations are always based on each company’s merits and capabilities. Until I review your company’s tender documents, I won’t hold any bias or judgment influenced by personal emotions against it.”

Suzanne let out a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you both for your understanding. I was quite worried. Now that we’ve resolved this matter, I’ll take my leave.” Natalie and Brandon nodded in agreement.

After apologizing to the two of them once again, Suzanne turned around and left, her steps eased by her sense of relief. As Natalie watched her walk away, an inexplicable sense of hostility towards Suzanne suddenly welled up within her. Natalie couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason why, but she had an instinctive aversion towards Suzanne and didn’t want to have too much contact with her.

“What’s wrong?” Brandon asked with concern after noticing the odd look on Natalie’s face. “Are you feeling unwell?”

Natalie shook her head and thought for a moment before saying, “I can’t quite put a finger on it, but something feels off about what happened.”

Brandon held Natalie’s hand and comforted her gently, “Don’t worry. If there’s something wrong, I’ll take care of it for you.”

After the drama ended, the onlookers dispersed, and Frank, who had been patiently waiting on the sidelines for a long time, finally had the opportunity to approach Natalie and Brandon.

“I didn’t expect so many things to happen this morning,” Frank remarked with a dejected shrug. “Will you still be going for your check-up today?”

Brandon glanced at Natalie, and upon seeing her nod, he replied, “Yes, we’ll proceed with the check-up as scheduled.”

Once inside the hospital, Natalie muttered with a mix of anxiety and dejection, “What a way to start the day. It’s just my luck to have encountered such an unfortunate incident. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll get good results from the check-up.” As she spoke, she closed her eyes and prayed in silence.

Brandon couldn’t help but find Natalie’s move amusing. He gently reached out and rubbed her head, comforting her in a soft voice. “Don’t worry. The check-up will go well. Everything will be fine.”

Natalie’s anxiety began to subside as Brandon’s words sank in. She took hold of his large hand and leaned up to give him a tender kiss on the cheek. “Yes! Everything will definitely be fine!”

After finishing her words, Natalie heard the doctor calling her into the examination room. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she walked towards the room, with the invisible support of Brandon’s encouraging gaze.

He watched her slim but strong figure as she made her way towards the room, feeling an infinite wave of love and tenderness wash all over him.

So what if there even was a problem? He would always be Natalie’s protector, ready to solve any problems she encountered. No matter what happened, they were going to have a child of their own.

A flashy red Lamborghini glided into the underground garage. Abruptly, a dishevelled figure lunged in front of the car, bringing it to a sudden halt.

The individual obstructing the car was none other than Vivi, who had pleaded with Natalie earlier that morning.

At this moment, Vivi was glaring at the car’s occupant with a venomous look, shouting hysterically, “Suzanne! You monster, this is all your fault! You’ve ruined me completely!”
