The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 68

Natalie frowned. She hated Lauren’s hypocrisy, so her voice grew a decibel louder.

“Oh, cut the crap and give me my money. What? Are you trying to deny it? If that’s the case, I will tell everyone the truth about how this marriage is a hoax.”

George and Lauren attached great importance to their reputation. The truth would tear their facade and reveal their true faces. It would be a huge blow on their image.

“All right, Natalie. That’s enough. Let’s stop arguing. Some people have returned the money they owed us. How about I give you one hundred thousand first?” George looked around and saw the people watching him. He wanted to deal with Natalie as soon as possible and return to his business.

He took out a bank card from his pocket and placed it on Natalie’s palm. “There is one hundred thousand in this card. I’ll send the pin number to you later.”

Natalie silently took the card. George was better than Lauren. He was at least an honest man.

Ever since Natalie was a child, her adoptive father had been neutral toward her. He neither cared for her nor tortured her in any way. He didn’t hate Natalie as much as Lauren and Cassie did. But he was too weak that he listened to the two women’s every word, and never bothered to stop them when they bullied Natalie.

Natalie looked at the card and nodded. “Okay.”

“Well, you better leave now. I will give you the rest of the money soon.” George smiled apologetically.

The one hundred thousand was more than all the money they had given Natalie before. Natalie looked at Lauren and saw that she was appalled by what her husband had done. She sensed that getting more money today was impossible, so she finally left.

Lauren’s eyes blazed with rage as she watched Natalie leave. “Are you crazy?” she growled, pinching her husband’s arm. “The wires have come loose in your head! One hundred thousand? Are you kidding me? Why did you give her so much money?”

George sighed and tried to persuade her, “What’s the matter with you? You promised to give Natalie money before. One hundred thousand is far from enough.”

Lauren was burning with anger. Her husband’s words infuriated her. “That’s not true.” She leered. “Natalie is our adopted daughter. We adopted her when she was little. We have fed her and supported her all these years. Marrying Sebastian would be her way of repaying us for everything we have done for her. How could she demand money from us? You’re too kindhearted.”

“Yes, Dad. Why did you give that bitch money? You have no idea how badly she bullied me at the banquet last time!” Cassie gnashed her teeth as she saw Natalie’s receding figure.

Looking at the indignant mother and daughter in front of him, George shook his head and walked into the club without saying anything.

Lauren followed him inside. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She felt she had to end this. Otherwise, Natalie would continue to ask her for money.

Lauren glanced at her phone. Just then, an idea occurred to her. She pursed her lips and dialed a number.
