The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 357

He seerned to be much shorter than before.

Twenty years’ imprisonment.

Seth was already in his 30s, and so he’d be over fifty years old by the time he got out.

His life would be almost over by then.

On the day of the final sentencing, Tasha went to see Seth.

When Seth was about to be taken away, Tasha walked up to him and said calmly, “I’m here to say goodbye.Don’t worry about the baby.I’ll raise him well.”

Seth’s eyes were devoid of life.

For the first time, he said, “Thank you.”

Tasha smiled knowingly.How stupid he was! She leaned closer to him and whispered, “Haven’t you figured out how Brandon got his hands on all that evidence?”

Since she would never see Seth again, Tasha decided to tell him the truth. At first, Seth didn’t understand why Tasha would ask him such a question, but it soon dawned on him.His eyes went as wide as saucers and his heart was filled with anger and indignation.He opened his mouth and stared at Tasha in disbelief.

“It was you! You were the one who used my computer and stole all my files! That was why you went to my study!”

Tasha raised her chin and smiled triumphantly.

“Yes, it was all me.I copied the files from your laptop and gave it all to Sebastian.My first attempt was a failure.Julia caught me before I was able to copy all the files.So I went to your office to finish the job.”

Seth’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

Who was this woman?! Was she really the Tasha he knew? lt was said that the more timid a person looked, the more ruthless they would be when cornered.It was true for Tasha.

All of a sudden, a cold smile appeared on Seth’s face and his eyes took on a dangerous light.

“I never thought that you’d be the one to deliver the fatal blow.I should’ve taken you more seriously.”.

It never occurred to him that Tasha would have the guts—and the intelligence—to pull off such a stunt.

Seth had always thought that she was a simple, stupid woman who let others walk all over her.

In his eyes, Tasha had always bent over backwards for others.

“Yes, you’ve always looked down upon me, and it ended up being your downfall.Seth, thanks again for the loads of money.I’ll live life comfortably after our divorce.”

Tasha sneered in disdain.She knew that she and her child would never be able to use up the money Seth left them.

Seth smiled coldly, staring at Tasha, who now seemed to have changed into a completely different person.It was the first time that he realized how much he had underestimated this woman.He was such an idiot! Seeing that Seth had fallen silent, Tasha didn’t want to waste her breath on him any longer.

She turned around and was about to leave when Seth suddenly shouted at her.

“Stop!”

Tasha looked back over her shoulder coldly and asked, “What?”

After recovering from his shock just now, Seth growled angrily, “Tasha! You are my wife and a member of the Klein family.How could you betray me?”

Tasha looked at him as though he had just cracked a joke.She sneered, turned around, and carefully looked into Seth’s fury-filled eyes.She wanted to remember the way he looked when he discovered that she was the one who brought him down, imprinting the shame and embarrassment on his face in her mind forever.

“Wife’? When did you ever treat me as your wife? Or as your family even? Seth, you are such a selfish and indifferent bastard.Yet you dare to ask why I betrayed you? You betrayed me first!”

“You set me up! Tasha, I’ve given you the money you wanted.Why would you go behind me back?” Seth demanded.

Tasha smiled calmly, but her eyes were devoid of warmth.

“Because I hate you,” she said matter-of-factly.

“I hate you for trying to take away my child.I hate you for marrying me just to use me.And when I was no longer of any use to you, you tossed me aside for another woman, whom you brought into our home to humiliate me.Even after finding out I was pregnant with your child, you didn’t change your mind.You even wanted to take my baby away! Seth, what do you take me for?

Some lifeless doll that’ll roll over at your beck and call? No! I am a human being! I betrayed you because you betrayed me first.I have to protect my child, and in order to do that, you have to be behind bars.”

Seth glared at Tasha murderously, but he found he couldn’t say anything to refute.

The woman standing in front of him with a calm and indifferent expression was completely different from the Tasha he knew.

Tasha took a deep breath and shrugged.

“Well, it’s all in the past anyway.It’s meaningless to say anything more.You were good at what you did, you know? You shouldn’t have been brought down by me, a lowly housewife.But that’s precisely how you lost.The biggest obstacle to survival is not weakness nor ignorance, but arrogance.”

Seth felt as though he was struck by lightning and all the color drained from his face.

Arrogance? Seth had never considered himself arrogant.He had always been praised and envied by all, which led him to believe that he was better than everyone.

At a young age, he had been sent abroad.He had always been surrounded by strangers.

Even at home, the housekeepers and servants were routinely replaced, and Patrick never allowed him to get close to any of them.

In addition, Patrick always told him that strong men didn’t need feelings.

Having feelings was a fatal weakness.

As a Klein, he had to be undefeatable.
