The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“You are lying! We gave you more than that.”

Lauren was rendered speechless.She hugged her handbag to avoid the surprised gazes of the people staring at her.

“We have always been generous with you!” Natalie rolled her eyes.

Lauren’s response didn’t surprise her.She still couldn’t figure out why Lauren hated her so much.

The woman despised her with a vengeance.

When she still stayed with them in their house, Lauren would scold Natalie for even the smallest things.

“I didn’t ask you to adopt me, did I?”

Natalie sounded calm and composed.

“Since you adopted me, you are obligated to raise me.Considering your wealth and income, the money you’ve given me every month does not even cover the standard child custody.I can’t even meet my monthly expenses.I owe what I am today only to Hannah.She struggled to raise me, with her own savings. You’ve done nothing I should be grateful of.”

The onlookers started discussing heatedly.

“How could you do such a thing? A manicure like yours costs more than two hundred dollars!”.

“Since you chose to adopt a child, you should’ve been responsible for her.The Quinn family is rich, yet you gave your adopted daughter so little. Shame on you.”

All the color drained from Lauren’s face.

Little did these people know that the Quinn family was actually poor-something Lauren would never dare to admit.

After a while, Lauren said weakly, “We were worried we’d hurt our biological daughter. If Cassie saw that we treated her adopted sister better, she would’ve accused us of being unfair.And Natalie, even if we didn’t give you that much money, you shouldn’t have forced us to give you more.We adopted you and you should be gratefull”

Natalie set her glass on the table.

Her eyes flashed with sheer rage.

Even now, Lauren chose to lie through her teeth.

“The money wasn’t for me. just wanted to save Hannah’s life.I didn’t force you to give me more. You were the one who promised me that you’d give me the money if I married Sebastian instead of Cassie.But even after that, you kept refusing to pay me.I was just asking for what was rightfully mine.”

The audience burst into an uproar.

Everyone began to criticize Lauren harshly.

“How dare she!”
