The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 531

Chapter 531

The next day.

Brandon had just finished breakfast and was reading the newspaper on the sofa when he received a call from Sean.

“We found Dalores.”

Before Brandon could respond, the woman in his arms instantly discarded her magazine and sat up. “You found her?” Natalie exclaimed. “Where is she?”

Because of the paparazzi, Natalie decided not to go to W Marks today and work from home instead.

Brandon listened for a while what Sean had to say and hung up the phone. He placed it on the table and resumed reading his paper.

“What happened?” Natalie sn*aked her arm around his and looked up at him with wide, expectant eyes.

“Dalores is dead.”

She let out a gasp. “What? How come?”

“It seems that Mrs. Fuller also sent her people to hunt her down. Apparently, Dalores drove on the wrong side of the road to escape the chase, and was eventually hit by a truck.” Brandon’s tone was cold and methodical. He put down his newspaper to lean over and peck her lips. “This is actually a good thing for her.”

But Natalie was unsettled. She didn’t expect Dalores to die from an accident, and so suddenly, too.

As if on cue, the news about the very same accident flashed on the TV screen. The crash was so bad that it had caused a small explosion on the highway, which, in turn, caused a major traffic jam. The camera panned over to the burnt car, where the rescuers were in the process of extracting a burnt body. Naturally, the corpse was censored.

“Don’t watch it.” Brandon grabbed the remote and turned the TV off. “Dalores was driving. She got herself into this accident. She was reckless and stupid. It has nothing to do with us.”

“I understand what you’re saying.” Natalie slowly came back to her senses.

With Dalores’ death, this matter was finished. At least for now, anyway. Either way, Natalie still had much work to do.

After putting herself back together, Natalie collected her purse. “Since Dalores is dead, there’s no use in going forward with the lawsuit. I need to go to the studio and tell Tasha to withdraw it.”

“It can wait. Why don’t you take one more day off and we go out and relax? The cherry blossoms are in season. Didn’t you always want to see them?” Brandon moved as he spoke, gathering her in his arms and pulling her back to the sofa until they were tangled together.

Natalie looked reluctant to stay. “Mr. Wesley asked me to manage W Marks in his absence. I have to take responsibility for my word. I can’t back down just because of some tabloid reporters.”

Brandon knew that he couldn’t change her mind.

He released her and said in a serious tone, “You can go to the studio, but don’t be too hard on yourself. You don’t have to shoulder everything.”
