The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Meanwhile, the woman in black continued her escape until she reached a secluded alley. Glancing over her shoulder to ensure she hadn’t been followed, she finally stopped running and sought refuge in a nearby cafe. In the farthest corner of the establishment sat Vivian, leisurely enjoying her dessert.

Vivian looked up in surprise as the breathless woman she had hired approached her. Setting down her spoon, she frowned and asked, “What are you doing here? Didn’t I instruct you to keep an eye on Natalie?” The woman in black appeared anxious, sinking into a chair to catch her breath before responding.

“They almost caught me. Natalie not only had a bodyguard by her side but also a friend who seems to have some sort of sixth sense! I don’t know how, but she found me and put up quite a fight. She must have received training. She’s even better than me,” the woman explained. Vivian’s frown deepened, and her appetite vanished.

“Aren’t you a professional? Why couldn’t you carry out such a simple task: scaring Natalie?” Vivian crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair. She had regained her composure and seemed to be contemplating something.

The woman in black was at a loss for words. “They didn’t see my face, but you provided me with incorrect information. Natalie isn’t afraid of ghosts at all. It feels like she taunts me every time I approach her!”

Vivian leaned against the chair’s backrest, her arms still crossed. She appeared deep in thought. In truth, Vivian had underestimated Natalie’s boldness. Following the incident with the billboard, she had taken precautions and hired a bodyguard. Additionally, Natalie had a capable friend by her side. It was no wonder Charis had failed against her.

As they rushed into the hospital, Laney was immediately wheeled into the emergency room, leaving Natalie scared and frantic. She quickly dialed Garrett’s number, hoping he would come to their aid.

Meanwhile, Garrett found himself in the middle of a meeting when he saw Natalie’s name flashing on his phone screen.

Wondering if it had something to do with their son Brandon, he answered playfully, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Larson? Does Brandon need my help again?” He assumed that the Larson Group must be in chaos without him.

Natalie’s voice trembled as she replied, “No, no. Laney’s in the hospital. Come here quickly. It’s an emergency. I’ll explain everything when you get here.”

There was no time for Natalie to provide further details, and she hung up before waiting for a response. The smile vanished from Garrett’s face as he realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately suspended the meeting and hurried downstairs to drive to the hospital Natalie had mentioned.
