The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 408

“Okay, but you only have five minutes,” Allie reluctantly agreed. She cautiously placed the computer bag on the table, unzipped it, and retrieved the laptop from inside.

As soon as the laptop powered on, Natalie immediately began searching through its contents. Unfortunately, Charis had wiped everything clean. Not even a single file remained in the trash bin.

Natalie’s attention then turned to the browser history. A peculiar website caught her eye, and she clicked on it, relieved to find that it logged in automatically. Suddenly, a chat box popped up, revealing the last message from a mysterious individual selling drugs. The message expressed a desire for Charis to succeed.

“Succeed in what?” Natalie furrowed her brow, scrolling upwards in hopes of finding their previous conversation.

“I think you’ve found what you want,” Allie sneered, abruptly shutting the laptop.

Natalie felt that the answers she sought lay within that website, but she had barely scratched the surface. Allie packed up the laptop with confidence and looked directly at Natalie.

“Give me the money first, Mrs. Larson.”

Natalie’s determination grew as she sensed she was nearing the truth. She believed that the information on Charis’s laptop would help restore Brandon’s memories. However, there was a problem: she didn’t have two million dollars to pay Allie at the moment.

Frustrated, Natalie clenched her teeth and said, “I don’t have two million in my account right now. I’ll have to step out and make a phone call to see if anyone can lend me the money. Just because I come from a wealthy family doesn’t mean money magically appears for me.”

Allie responded disdainfully, “Wow, the White family’s daughter still needs to borrow money? Fine, go ahead and make your call.”

Helplessly, Natalie sighed and left the room to make the call. After four to five minutes, she returned with her phone in hand.

“Check it. I’ve asked my family to transfer the money to your bank account,” Natalie said, closing the door behind her and taking a seat across from Allie.

Allie glanced at her phone and saw that the money had indeed been transferred. Her excitement quickly turned into anger when she realized it was only 500 thousand.

“What does this mean, Natalie?” Allie fumed. “You said you’d give me two million! Do you no longer want the documents on the computer?”

Natalie calmly sipped her tea and replied, “Relax. This is just a deposit. I’ll hand over the remaining 1.5 million after I’m done making the copies. What if I send you all the money at once, and you just escape with the laptop?”

Allie realized that Natalie wasn’t as naive as she had thought. Charis had described Natalie as easily manipulated and unintelligent, but meeting her in person shattered those beliefs.

“Well, go on,” Allie reluctantly said. She switched on the laptop again and inserted the flash drive she had prepared.

With raised eyebrows, Natalie smiled and said, “There’s no extra charge for the flash drive. Consider it a free gift.”
