The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Only then did she notice that the man she was looking for had been seized by Brandon’s bodyguards. He was now pinned to the corner, unable to move.

Vivi instantly realized that Natalie had long seen through her scheme.

The only reason Natalie acted compassionate toward her was so that she would reveal her true intentions. finovels.com Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

No amount of calculating and scheming would outsmart Natalie. Vivi had lost before she even started.

She despondently hung her head. “If Miss White doesn’t want to forgive me, then so be it. I’ll come again another day to apologize. I won’t give up until you forgive me,” she promised, her voice laced with sadness.

Now that she said it, the only thing she wanted to do was slip away.

However, it would be impossible for Natalie to let Vivi off so easily. At her signal, the bodyguards intercepted Vivi.

Several tall and sturdy, cold-looking bodyguards blocked Vivi’s path. With a fake smile, the head of the bodyguards said to her, “Miss, Mr. and Mrs. Larson haven’t told you to leave yet.” Brandon appeared from behind, speaking slowly. “Vivi, what’s the rush? As our witness, we need you when we sue your company in court. Your testimony is crucial.”

If she hadn’t been so jealous that she paid Internet trolls to smear Natalie, it wouldn’t have come to this. She wouldn’t have suffered such a devastating fall from grace. She would have held her head high instead of being treated like a social pariah. No one would have pointed at her and gossiped about her.

But it wasn’t only that. Her involvement in such a heinous act led to her company abandoning her and demanding huge liquidated damages. If she couldn’t come up with enough sum to pay, she would end up in jail.

That was also the reason why she came to Natalie today in an attempt to frame her again.

But there was no use regretting it now.

The only consolation Vivi

Ho get was guarantee that they wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

Confronting Natalie outside the hospital where a lot of people could see was a bright idea. Even Brandon would not dare hurt her in the face of public eyes.

Once the commotion had simmered down, Natalie brandished her phone with a triumphant grin. “Vivi, don’t be so quick to dash off. Your boss caught the live feed and she’s end route.”

Previously, when Brandon had ordered his bodyguard to confront the lurking individual in the corner, they unearthed a surprising fact. Rather than merely recording a video, the individual was orchestrating a live broadcast of the unfolding scene in real time. Given the recent high-profile clash between Vivi and Natalie, the livestream skyrocketed to the top of the trend list.

Vivi’s boss, seeing the unfolding drama, promptly reached out to Brandon’s assistant, expressing regrets and announcing her intent to personally mitigate the situation.

At Natalie’s words, Vivi’s beautiful face gradually lost its color.

She hadn’t anticipated the situation to spiral so drastically out of control.

Her predicament left her helpless, hemmed in by the bodyguards ‘iron circle, like a bird in a cage.

Soon, a fiery-red Lamborghini pulled up outside the hospital. A tall woman in a razor-sharp white suit, power radiating off her in waves, stepped out and strode towards the throng.

Vivi blanched at the sight of her.

As the woman sauntered past Vivi, she paused to give her a look of contempt.

Vivi bit her lip, holding her tongue.

The woman came to a halt in front of Natalie, extending a hand with a gracious smile. “Hello, 1 am Suzanne Duncan, the CEO of Star Entertainment. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my employee.”

Natalie shook Suzanne’s hand, her smile undiminished. “No harm done. But, Vivi here alleged that the online trolls attacking me were bankrolled by Star Entertainment. I wonder if there’s any truth to that?”

Suzanne’s eyes hardened as she turned to Vivi, her voice icy. “You have not only failed in your role as a public figure, but have also publicly defamed my company. It seems I’ve been too lenient.”

“Ms. Duncan…” Vivi begged.

“Silence!” Suzanne’s voice cracked like a whip. “I’ve coddled you enough! Over here, everyone.”

She clapped her hands, signalling her assistant to bring in the legal team. Suzanne’s frosty gaze fell upon the visibly shaken Vivi. “We all must face the consequences of our actions. Don’t try to shift the blame. It’s time for some honesty.”

“I… I..” Vivi was on the verge of tears, stammering under Suzanne’s imposing presence.

Suzanne closed the gap, her voice dropping to a deadly whisper. “Vivi, quit playing the victim. When you mess up, it’s on you to make it night.”

Vivi’s gaze landed on Suzanne, a blank stare that held for a breathless moment before crumbling into despair. Tears welled up, spilling down her cheeks as she confessed, “I did it! I orchestrated the entire charade. I hired the cyber trolls to target Natalie, and I set up Mandy. It was all me.”
