The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 76

Autumn had finally arrived.

“I want to ask you something.My adoptive parents suddenly returned the money.Did you do anything?” Natalie asked.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips when she heard his resonant voice.

Sebastian sat in his office, a beam of light streaming through his floor-to-ceiling windows and falling on his voice.

His eyes softened as he listened to Natalie’s voice through the phone.

“Yes, I did have a hand in exposing your sister’s substitution matter and your parents’ debt. The Quinn family does business with a lot of notable partners, so it’s only a matter of course that they try to save their reputation as soon as possible. That’s probably why they decided to finally pay you what they owe.They have no other choice at this point.”

Garrett rarely heard Sebastian speak this much in one breath.

With raised eyebrows, he pricked his ears and leaned forward slightly, trying to hear more of the couple’s conversation.

On the other side of the line, Natalie frowned.

Sebastian sounded calm and casual about his explanation, but she knew it couldn’t have been so simple.

“Tell me the truth.Did you spend a lot of money to make this happen?”

“Of course not.It cost nothing just to spread a bit of news. You’re thinking too much.”

Sebastian’s tone remained patient.He swiveled his chair and looked out of his massive office windows.

Garrett struggled to contain his laughter and ended up snorting.

The CEO of the Larson Group was so powerful that people were willing to bend over as soon as he gave the word.

He didn’t even need to lift a finger to have them do his bidding. Natalie sighed.

“I know, I know.Stop patronizing me.”

Her life was already a mess to begin with, and now she even got Sebastian involved in her troublesome affairs.

He had neither the money nor the power to stand up against people like her adoptive family.He must have gone to great lengths in order to bring their selfish deeds to light.

A small smile tugged at the corners of Sebastian’s lips.He threw a pointed glance at Garrett, who was now openly and shamelessly eavesdropping.

The man immediately straightened and nodded.

He understood the message-Sebastian was about to say things that weren’t meant for anybody else’s ears.

Garrett strode to the door and left the office.

When he was gone, Sebastian leaned back against his chair and tapped his nose with his forefinger.

“Hmm?” he said on the phone, his voice quiet and lazy.

“What is it that you know?”

“I know that you’re awfully good to me.”

Natalie’s voice had also fallen into a whisper.She covered her phone’s receiver and looked around to make sure no one could hear her.
