The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

After hearing that, Elissa’s hand suddenly trembled and the ash tumbled to the floor.

“Did he say anything at all?”

All of a sudden, she opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Ritchie in panic. Ritchie’s face darkened visibly. He lowered the volume of his voice and asked, “Mom, were you behind this?”

Even though he had his doubts, he hadn’t been able to confirm them yet. Elissa swallowed nervously. She was very anxious now and was willing to tell Ritchie the truth.

“I was the one behind it. I even used our men. I thought we would succeed in getting rid of Sebastian this time. As long as he’s dead, even if the authorities wanted to investigate this matter, with the Klein family’s connections, we could sort things out and shift the blame to the constructors. We could arrange it so that it looks like an accident,” Elissa said as cold sweat poured from her forehead. She had been keeping a close eye on this matter the whole time and knew that investigation had just begun.

Ritchie became anxious almost at once. He clenched his teeth tightly and said, “Mom, do you have any idea how serious this matter is getting? I get it you want to get rid of Sebastian, and so do I. But the truth is Sebastian didn’t die and he’s now even helping the police with the investigation! The government and the public have attached great importance to this matter and they won’t stop any time soon. These days, those hurt in the incident keep showing up at our company, protesting. This means they know that the Klein family has something to do with the accident! This happens to be no small matter. I heard that a total of more than a dozen audience members and staff was injured or even died in the accident!”

Ritchie said, “If this happened in Seacisco, we could probably do something about this and get away with it. But no, this happened in Barnes! Mom, what in the world were you thinking?”

The Klein family had a lot of power in Seacisco, but not in Barnes. Now that Sebastian had reported the Klein family to the police, the police thought they were persons of interest now. In a panic, Elissa made her way out of her room and went down the stairs anxiously. Seeing that there was no one downstairs, she shook from head to toe with fear again.

“Why isn’t your father back yet?” Ritchie followed her downstairs and answered, “Dad should still be at the company. This matter has kept him busy for the past few days.”

During the entire dinner, Elissa was feeling listless. Just as she was feeling tortured by news updates, the sound of a car engine came from outside. A few minutes later, Patrick walked in with his suit jacket in his hands, looking clearly exhausted. Elissa made her way up to him uneasily and wanted to take the suit jacket from him.

“Patrick, why are you back so late?” Patrick angrily glanced at Elissa and suddenly it looked like he had snapped. He threw the suit jacket at her face and said, “Bitch! Were you the one who sent people to kill Sebastian?”
