The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573

When Natalie visited, she almost didn’t wear any makeup, and she was really nice. She considered every word she said to Lydia, making sure she didn’t offend her at all in any way.

Could Brandon really be such a bad guy if he had a wife like this?

Lydia hesitated. Maybe Natalie had spoken the truth. Maybe Brandon had nothing to do with Jethro’s death. “Leave now. I need to rest. I don’t want to talk about it,” Lydia said, enunciating every word clearly. Then she lay down with the baby in her arms and closed her eyes.

“If it’s about the money, I can pay more. Everything is negotiable. Name your price.” Vivian didn’t have time to deal with Lydia.

Before she came here, she had been told that the only reason Lydia didn’t agree with the Larson Group was that they hadn’t agreed on a price. ɳσʋҽʅσȥ.ƈσɱ Vivian believed as soon as she could offer enough to satisfy Lydia, the matter would be resolved.

“Why do you keep talking about money?! I told you to go. Didn’t you hear me?” Lydia was so angry she picked the cup up from the table and threw it at Vivian.

As soon as the cup landed on the ground and shattered, it scared the baby, who began to wail.

“Hey! No need to be so ungrateful. I came here to help you out of kindness!” Vivian dodged quickly and the cup missed her.

She got angry and said, with disdain, “Don’t you know about the terrible things your husband did? He blackmailed others and almost killed someone. Death’s too good for him! Not only do I not blame you for his actions, but I also want to give you enough money to start a new life. Even if you don’t appreciate my generous offer, how could you just shout at me like crazy?” “F*ck off!” Lydia was even more furious. She grabbed the bedside lamp, hurling it at Vivian.

Vivian screamed and made for the door.

With a face like thunder, she looked at the guards, who had been waiting patiently outside the door and, in a quiet voice, said, “Go in and take that woman’s baby.” With that Vivian left. As she walked down the corridor, she heard a scream from the ward behind her, and smiled from her head to her feet with her success.

Right outside the hospital, Natalie didn’t go right back to work. She couldn’t just keep ignoring Brandon’s calls. That was no solution. He would still question her when she got home that night.

She decided to call Brandon back, to figure out if he was mad at her.

“Hey, honey, what’s up?” Natalie asked cautiously.

Brandon was tired. He hadn’t slept since the night before, but he immediately sensed something was wrong with Natalie when he heard her voice. “Nothing serious. But what about you, why do you sound unhappy?”

There was guilt in Natalie’s eyes. Was her behavior that blatant?

After regaining composure, she said, “Oh, nothing. I just stepped on dog feces on the road. Cleaning it up is a little hassle.”

“Are you not at work?” As if nothing had happened, Brandon’s voice sounded unruffled.

Natalie slapped her forehead, feeling ashamed of her lame excuse. “Well, I went out to get coffee with my colleagues. I missed your call since I didn’t have my phone with me at the time.”
