Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 

Sadie, a long–time confidante of the Howard family, shouldn’t have been gossiping with Natalie. But the sight of Brian’s agony had her heart twisted in sympathy. 

After a moment of hesitation, she fished out an envelope and two torn photographs from her purse and handed them to Natalie. 

Ever since the incident involving Brian, Sadie had been suspicious and kept her eyes wide open. Natalie examined the contents attentively. These must have been taken when Gavin took her to the James family that afternoon, snapped by someone lurking in the distance. 

No wonder Brian was livid. Despite Gavin’s strict instructions against leaks, the news had reached Brian. 

She turned the envelope over in her hands, her eyes catching a small watermark in the corner – “Exclusive to Verve Vision.” 

Verve Vision was a well–known domestic media powerhouse, notorious for exposing celebrity 

scandals. 

Though Gavin was the CEO of an entertainment company, he wasn’t a celebrity himself or a regular target for paparazzi. He was a man of status, not easily trifled with. 

Thus, it was highly unlikely that any reporter would risk such danger to snap candid photos of him. 

As for herself, having only acted in a few productions since returning to the country, she was hardly a magnet for the press. Not unless someone deliberately sold the photos to Verve 

Vision. 

“Sadie, do you have any idea what the going rate is for this kind of entertainment scoop?” Natalie asked after a thoughtful pause, meeting Sadie’s gaze. 

“Well, it varies.” Sadie replied. “Depends on the story’s value. But from what Reid mentioned, it’s not too steep. Anything from a few thousand to tens of thousands is normal.” 

Nodding thoughtfully. Natalie realized that a story like hers with Gavin wasn’t worth the frenzy of a trending search. Its real value lay in provoking the Howard family. 

Connecting the dots, she figured this low blow could only have been the work of the Wright family or perhaps Madelyn. 

Considering both Lydia and Gracia were at the mall that day, and judging by the quality of the photo, which clearly seems to be taken with a phone rather than a professional camera, it must have been snapped by Gracia. 

Knowing Natalie had pieced it together, Sadie added after a while, “Natalie, you should settle in here. Ms. Harris has moved out and doesn’t live here anymore.”

“Moved out?” Natalie was taken aback. 

“Yes, she found a new place,” Sadie confirmed, then added, “Mr. Howard himself saw to her departure.” 

Reflecting on it, Sadie realized Brian must have had his reasons. How else could Natalie move in if Madelyn hadn’t left? 

Deep down, Brian cared a great deal about Natalle, even if he was too stubborn to admit it. Brian wasn’t one to express his feelings openly. Even if he was head over heels and constantly worried about Natalie, he wouldn’t voice it.
