The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 558

Estella was so enthusiastically interviewing some of Natalie’s former employees. She held Natalie’s

hand, wanting to chat with others in the design department.

“We should call it a day, Estella. I think you have taken enough materials.” Following Estella around,

they had already talked to the security guards, cleaners, and receptionists in the hall. Natalie’s voice

was hoarse by now. The more Estella listened, the more excited she became. She was practically

bouncing as she said, “You and Brandon’s love story is so interesting. Everyone sees Brandon as this

calm and cold, even ruthless boss. He never mixes up personal feelings when talking about work. But

with you, he’s full of love and warmth.”

“This is getting more and more ridiculous.” Natalie felt helpless.

The cleaning lady joined in, sounding serious. “But Mr. Larson always smiles when he sees you. I used

to think he probably had a twin brother. How is it that he seems to change into another person

whenever he’s with you, Mrs. Larson? Others also thought so too. They had never seen Mr. Larson

smile before. After you came, he became much happier. You are like an angel God arranged for Mr.

Larson.”

“Wow! Natalie, do you want to write a book and tell us the secret to winning a cold man’s heart?”

Estella stood beside Natalie, staring at her with admiration.

Natalie placed a hand on her forehead and tried to explain to the cleaning lady, “You’re wrong. Brandon

just doesn’t like to smile. Few things can make him laugh, though. When I was in the Larson Group, I

always embarrassed myself. He just thought I was funny.”

“Then why are you blushing?” Estella came close to Natalie, pinched her cheek and said, “Admit it.

Brandon only cares about you. Everyone else is irrelevant to him. Deep down I know you’re happy

about it.”

Natalie’s face became redder. She looked at Estella, grumbling shyly, “Stop saying that!”

Estella squinted her eyes and smiled. She picked up the small notebook and said, “I will write it down.

You are the little angel of Brandon…”

Natalie hurriedly covered Estella’s notebook with her palm. “Estella, don’t write nonsense! All of this is

baseless.” 2 But Estella just snorted and closed the notebook. “I’m not going to write nonsense. I

promise you’ll be pleased.” Estella, seeing the disbelief on Natalie’s face, continued, “You’ll complain to

Brandon if I wrote something ridiculous, right? I’m not that stupid. Please know that he can easily block

me from the online industry.” “I won’t do such a thing.” Natalie had just caught a glimpse of some

foolish words in Estella’s notebook. “Have you written anything else in your notebook?”

Estella immediately hid the notebook behind her, as if it held a secret. “Nothing, but this is my privacy.”

Natalie frowned. She was becoming more intrigued as time passed. She leaned over, bothered that

Estella would write something baseless, and said, “I’m not going to tell anyone. Please show me.”

A noise came from outside the glass door as the two were fighting for the notebook.

The speaker most likely used a megaphone, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Things seemed to be getting more serious.

“Is the Larson Group in debt to them?” Natalie asked the employees around her.

The employee sighed and explained, “The Larson Group is a decent enterprise. How can we fail to pay

workers ‘ wages? The Larson Group and the Turner family became rivals as a result of Charis’ death.

Mr. Larson cancelled some of the business engagements with the Turner Group, and a factory

receiving orders was dissatisfied with the compensation provided by the Larson Group. The people

from the factory have been coming to cause trouble recently, and they came twice last week.”

When the employee saw Natalie’s worried expression, he smiled and said, “Just ignore these people.

Mr. Larson said that he would not allow them to come in and cause trouble. He has already called the

police. Besides, they will leave when they get tired.”

Natalie nodded with a smile. She then noticed a pregnant woman standing in the crowd. The woman

had a big belly, which she supported with one hand and her waist with the other. nobody brought her a

chair to sit on. She seemed to have been standing for a long time, sweating profusely and looking very

exhausted.

“Wait, who is the pregnant lady in front of them?” Natalie asked.

“Oh, she is the wife of the factory owner Jethro. Alas! Jethro is really a bastard. He is a rogue in his

own right, but he even brings his pregnant wife here.” The employee shook his head in disappointment,

but he had no plans to intervene.

Natalie felt sorry for the lady. Laney was also expecting. Her belly was not as big as that of Jethro’s

wife, but she had difficulty moving and felt sore all over her b*ody. She often called Natalie to complain

that even though she used to be a martial arts practitioner and a professional b*odyguard, she still

suffered a lot during her pregnancy. She wondered how painful it would be for an ordinary woman to

give birth to a baby.

Suddenly, the pregnant woman’s face twisted and soon after, she fell to the ground in pain.

Dumbfounded, Jethro dropped the banner and hurriedly picked up her wife. “Honey! Honey!”

After shouting a few times and calling his wife’s name, he turned to the Larson Group building and

cursed, “Brandon! If anything happens to my wife and baby, I will kill you!”

“It has nothing to do with Mr. Larson. He was the one who brought his heavily pregnant wife here to

protest. How could he blame Mr. Larson?!” The employee standing beside Natalie couldn’t help but

curse aloud.

Jethro’s yells aroused public indignation since the person in danger was a pregnant woman. Everything

became chaotic, and security guards rushed out to maintain order.

Natalie couldn’t help but worry when she saw this. She peered at the pregnant woman through the

glass door. “How unfortunate. She looks like she might give birth at any moment, but here she is,

obliged to join her husband’s pointless demonstration.”

Natalie turned to look at Estella, who was leaning against the glass door to get a better view of the

commotion outside. It seemed that she couldn’t bear to see the pregnant woman endure such

hardship, either. “She must be so miserable, being married to a man like Jethro. At this rate, I’m afraid

that the baby can no longer be saved.”

Natalie considered their options and made a decision.

“Let the pregnant woman in,” she ordered. “We have no idea when the paramedics will get here. She

needs a proper rest in the meantime. Once the ambulance arrives, we shall assist them in loading her

up.”

“Think this over carefully,” Estella immediately cautioned. “If anything happens to that woman while she

is inside this building, the Larson Group will have to take responsibility. Even if we are not guilty of

anything, I’m sure Jethro will kick up a fuss and pin the blame on the company.” ήόνέĻό Although she

had never experienced something like this before, she was sharp enough to recognize the risks that

the circumstances entailed.

“I will bear the consequences,” Natalie declared, her expression grim. She couldn’t just stand by and

watch the pregnant woman suffer.

Dark clouds soon gathered above them. Lightning streaked through the sky just a few seconds before

the heavens burst into a heavy downpour.

Without giving it a second thought, Natalie turned to the security guard at the door and said, “Tell the

pregnant woman to come in and take shelter from the rain. We’ll send her out when the ambulance is

here.”

“But Mr. Larson has ordered that none of Jethro’s people is allowed to step foot into the building.” To

his credit, the guard kept to the command that he was given and did act rashly.

As the rain pelted the pavement, Natalie grew more agitated. “Look, I’ll take responsibility, okay? I’ll

make sure you won’t get scolded for this. These people have been out there for a long time, and the

pregnant woman has already fainted. If the media gets wind of this situation, it will only cause another

tide of negative opinion from the public.”

In truth, the security guard was also feeling sorry for the pregnant woman. His wife had just given birth,

too, so he was doubly sympathetic. After hearing Natalie’s reassurance, he cast his hesitations away.

He proceeded to gather some of his teammates from security and instructed them to carry the pregnant

woman into the building. He was just about to close the door when Jethro suddenly rushed over, trying

to squeeze through the gap.
