The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 559

“Step away! We’re only taking the woman in, no one else!” The security guard barked angrily, outraged

by Jethro’s lack of discretion.

“Who knows what you’ll do to my wife? That woman is carrying my child! I have to be by her side and

take care of her!” Jethro was drenched. His hair and clothes were stuck to his b*ody, making him look

like some s*eedy rat from the sewers.

The security guard looked back at Natalie and waited for her order.

Jethro turned to her as well. “Mrs. Larson!” he cried out as he fell to his knees. “Please let me in, so I

can keep my wife company. I’m really worried. She’s about to give birth!”

“You’ll only stir up trouble if you come inside,” Natalie said patiently. “I have to take care of the interests

of the Larson Group and all the employees here before anything else. I’m sorry, but I can’t let you in.

Don’t worry; we won’t do anything to your wife. You can watch over her through the glass door.”

But Jethro rubbed his palms together and kept begging. “Why would I make trouble at a time like this?

Please, if you don’t believe me, I am willing to swear upon anything you want. I just want my wife and

child to be safe. Here, look! I swear that I will never cause any trouble in the Larson Group again.”

Never again? That was a rather bold choice of words, and the promise certainly carried some weight.

Natalie held out her hand and borrowed the recorder pen from Estella. иσνєℓσ “In order to keep you

from going back on your word, I want you to swear here and now that you will accept the compensation

offered by the Larson Group, and you won’t hold any protests in the future. You must also promise to

never spread any false rumors against the Larson Group again.”

Jethro was visibly stunned, and his eyes flashed with cunning. He didn’t expect Natalie to entrap him

like this. He needed to enter the building, though. To do that, he had no choice but to agree to

everything she said, on the record.

After getting what she wanted, Natalie put the device away and signaled at the security guard. “Let him

in.”

Jethro assisted his frail wife in walking into the hall.

Natalie then requested that the receptionist bring them clean towels and warm drinks.

“I’ll put some pillows around your waist. It will help you feel more comfortable.” Natalie placed two

pillows on the chair where the expecting mother would sit.

“Oh, it seems that you know these things so well, Mrs. Larson. Do you have any children at home?”

The pregnant woman’s face was still pale, but she didn’t seem to be in so much pain anymore.

Natalie smiled. “I don’t have a baby yet, but my best friend is in the middle stage of her pregnancy and

is feeling sore all over. I often see her lying on the bed like this.”

The pregnant woman nodded, holding a cup, and looked at Jethro, who was sitting next to her and

busy checking his phone. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She looked at Natalie and said guiltily, “Mrs. Larson, thank you for letting me in. In fact, today’s

demonstration…” The pregnant woman was about to say something but stopped on a second thought.

Natalie could tell she was feeling very guilty. On the other hand, Jethro sat on the sofa and played on

his phone as soon as he walked in. Natalie guessed that he was very cold to his wife at home.

Despite her pregnancy, the poor woman had to go out to protest. Most likely, Jethro forced her to do so.

“I understand. You rest until the ambulance arrives.” After a few moments, Natalie checked the time

and thought that the interview would have been over. “Go and inform Mr. Larson about what happened

here,” she said to the security guard.

Estella immediately jumped up from the sofa. “What? I can finally see Brandon? I thought I would

waste my whole afternoon here.”

Natalie couldn’t help but be amused by Estella’s excitement.

She didn’t notice Jethro approaching slowly behind Estella with a dark expression on his face.

When Jethro saw the security guard leave, he immediately took out a knife.

He pushed Estella out of the way and pulled Natalie over.

A cold light flashed, and before anyone could react, Jethro’s knife was already pressed against

Natalie’s neck.

Jethro’s wife was so terrified that she nearly passed out. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn’t

because she couldn’t move comfortably with her big belly. “Jethro… Are you out of your mind?! What

are you doing?” “Shut up, fat woman!”

Natalie adjusted her tense breathing. She didn’t expect that Jethro would be this crazy and hold her

hostage. “Let’s talk. Don’t be impulsive,” she persuaded in a trembling voice.

“Bullshit! I wouldn’t have been so broke if it hadn’t been because of Brandon.” Jethro gritted his teeth.

“It’s none of my business that Brandon has a grudge against the Turner Group! Why should his

mistakes jeopardize my career? My baby will be a beggar the moment he is born! I want Brandon to

feel the agony as well!”

Jethro had planned to kill Brandon if they couldn’t come to an agreement.

But because he couldn’t meet Brandon, Jethro thought he had no chance at all.

Fortunately, his wife passed out unexpectedly, giving him the opportunity to catch Natalie.

“We’re going to have a baby, Jethro. Don’t do anything stupid!” Jethro’s wife’s abdominal pain may

have been aggravated by her emotions. She struggled to get up but fell to the floor, perspiring

profusely.

Jethro looked coldly at the woman on the floor, as if he didn’t recognize her. “I supported you financially

without fail. Don’t get in my way this time.”

He then lowered his head and looked at Natalie, smirking. “I think Brandon will be here soon. We will all

die here if he doesn’t give me the money!”

Natalie gave Jethro a cold stare. “You’re the worst. You took advantage of your pregnant wife to gain

other people’s sympathy. Jethro, you are a bastard!”

Jethro gritted his teeth and pressed the knife harder into Natalie’s neck, warning vehemently, “Bitch, I

would have killed you right now if only I didn’t need you to threaten Brandon and ask him for money!”

Natalie sneered. From the corner of her eye, she saw Estella moving. She dared not act rashly.

However, Jethro was on high alert. When he turned around, he saw Estella pouncing on him. “Damn

bitch!” he yelled angrily, taking two steps back. “You’re attacking me?”
