The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 409

Just moments after Allie climbed out of the window, the police forcefully kicked open the door to the room. One of the officers approached Natalie, puzzled, and asked, “Ma’am, are you okay? Were you the one who called the police?”

Wearing a calm expression, Natalie stood up and apologized, “I’m sorry, officer. It was all a huge misunderstanding. When I went to the bathroom just now, I thought somebody had stolen my wallet, but it turned out a girl had picked it up when I dropped it. She just left.”

Awkwardly, Allie managed to climb out of the window. Without hesitation, she hurriedly ran down the street, determined not to let the police catch her. She knew that if she were apprehended, her fate would be sealed.

As Allie slowed down to catch her breath, someone suddenly grabbed her from behind and dragged her into a quiet nearby alley. Panicking, she exclaimed, “Who’s there?! Let me go!”

Allie’s face turned pale with fear as she used her computer bag as a makeshift weapon, striking the stranger. The woman, crossing her arms impatiently, scolded, “Ouch! What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to attract the police?”

Upon closer inspection, Allie realized that the person who had brought her here was Vivian. Relieved, she sighed, “Oh, it’s just you. You scared me!”

Vivian had ensured this location was safe for them to talk. Annoyed, she asked, “What the fuck happened in there? You were about to succeed! Why did you suddenly run out?”

Grateful that Vivian had caught up with her, Allie explained, “I didn’t know Natalie would call the police! She promised to give me the money, but then she secretly called the police. If I hadn’t escaped, I would be behind bars by now!”

Surprised, Vivian responded, “That’s impossible.”

“Why do you say that? I heard the sirens,” Allie retorted, feeling unjustly treated.

Pursing her lips, Vivian grew increasingly perplexed. Would Natalie truly call the police?

“Let’s find out if she was bluffing,” Vivian suggested, grabbing Allie’s wrist and leading her back to the restaurant.

“Are you out of your mind? If I go back, I’ll be arrested!” Allie protested, terrified.

“Shut up, you idiot!” Vivian scolded impatiently. “I want to see what Natalie is up to!”

Returning to the restaurant, the two women hid in the shadows and observed as several police officers exited the establishment. Natalie expressed her gratitude to them and even bought them coffee as a token of appreciation.

Vivian immediately understood what had transpired. She glared back at Allie and said, “She tricked you.”

Confused, Allie asked, “What do you mean?”

“She didn’t want to pay the remaining money, so she called the police to scare you away. Look at her calm face. She was certain you would run,” Vivian explained, rolling her eyes in frustration.
