The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 660

Such shrewish behavior appalled her.

It felt degrading to beat and scold another adult, but Vivian pushed her to her
limit.

“Have you ever seen me as your mother?” Catherine cried.

Vivian didn’t know how to answer.

She had planned to leave after exacting her revenge. She hadn't considered
Catherine's feelings at all.

If Vivian really cared about Catherine and her feelings, she probably wouldn't
have done any of that in the first place.

So the answer was probably no.

But faced with Catherine's distress right now, Vivian felt ashamed.

She used a grieving mother, and that was the fact she could never change.
Catherine pursed her lips and raised a hand to slap Vivian's face.

She broke down and asked bitterly, “Did we teach you to be such a heartless
person?”

Afraid that the situation would escalate, Natalie was about to step in when the
door opened, and Sean entered the room.

“Mrs.Larson, Mrs.White, Mr.Larson asked me to inform you that we can just
deliver Vivian to the Turners.Vivian used and betrayed the Turner family.Luke
Turner will punish her.You don't have to dirty your hands.”

Sean then stepped in front of Catherine and said, “Mrs.Turner, we will return
Vivian to you later.You may do whatever you wish with her then.But you should
not lose your temper in the Larson Group.”

Catherine restrained herself.

She turned to Natalie and Johanna and said, “Thank you for coming all the way
to tell me about this.We will deal with Vivian.She won't be able to hurt anyone
again.”

Johanna nodded.

Natalie seemed slightly dazed.She was certain that Vivian was still hiding
something, and this made her uneasy.

But Sean had already asked his men to send Vivian and Catherine back to the
Turner family.

“Are you thinking about Vivian? You seem absent-minded,” Johanna asked as
she and Natalie left the interrogation room arm in arm.

She was certain something was wrong “It just happened so fast.Before I could
react, Vivian was taken away.”

As she finished speaking, Natalie spotted Brandon standing nearby.

“Mom, I need to check on Brandon.”

Johanna didn’t stop her but looked unhappy.

After bowing his head respectfully to Johanna, Brandon hugged Natalie.

“I was worried about you,” he whispered.

His voice sounded hoarse.

Natalie raised her eyes and started telling him her thoughts.

“I think...”

But she was interrupted by Johanna.

“Brandon.”

Johanna looked serious.

Thinking that Johanna was worried about the Turner family, Brandon explained,
“Luke called.They are sending Vivian to a sanatorium abroad.If necessary, she'll
spend the rest of her life there.She won't be able to cause any more
problems.There is no need to worry.Luke won't seek revenge on the White family
or the Larson Group.”

“You handled the matter well,” Johanna said slowly, “but even if Vivian is
punished, it won't heal the harm she caused my daughter.”

Natalie pursed her lips and stared at Johanna.

She was afraid Johanna might want to punish Brandon as well.

After minutes that felt like hours, Johanna sighed.

“I respect your choice, but Brandon, you must protect my daughter well.”
Holding Johanna’s shoulder with gratitude, Natalie said, “You are the best.”
Johanna touched the tip of Natalie’s nose and shook her head helplessly.

“And you're the smartest.”

When Brandon walked out of the Larson Group building with Natalie and
Johanna, Beal was waiting outside.

“Why's Dad here?”

Natalie sprinted toward the middle-aged man who bore the cold wind admirably.
“Your mother asked me to wait here,”

Beal smiled bitterly and then opened the car door.

“Get inside where it's warm, my preciouses.”

Grinning, Natalie and Brandon got into the car.

“Sure enough, Mom is the head of the family,”

Natalie teased.

Holding the steering wheel, Beal smiled.He wasn’t angry.

“Your mother is decisive.She is far better suited to be the head of the family than
I am.Since we are all together, shall we have dinner together tonight?”

With her eyes closed, Johanna seemed upset.She then opened them to study
Brandon in the rear-view mirror.

Johanna remained silent throughout the journey, closely observing Brandon until
they finally arrived at the White family estate.

“While your father and I were away, I had some people come in to refurbish the
place.You will be staying here tonight.”

Johanna said, arm in arm with Natalie as they entered the house.

The original house had a charm due to its antique features.

However, it was now fully equipped with the latest smart furniture and adorned in
shades of grey, giving it a more modern and lavish feel.

Behind the ladies, as they led the way, Brandon and Beal conversed about their
own company’s business prospects.

When the conversation ended, the topic turned to family matters.

Beal playfully reminded Brandon, “It's about time for you and Natalie to consider
having children, don’t you think?”

Natalie's ears turned red upon hearing this conversation, and she looked back at
her father before offering, “Dad, I learned some new recipes when Brandon was
in the hospital.How about I cook them for you?”

“Looks like today is my lucky day.”

Beal looked at Johanna with pride as if to say, “See? My daughter is going to
cook for me.”

“I've already asked a chef to come here today, so you do not have to cook.”
Johanna anxiously clung to Natalie's hand.

She wanted to spend more time to bond with Natalie more because her daughter
was always too busy to visit.

“But I really want to make dinner for you and dad.”

Natalie pleaded, holding Johanna’s arm and leaning against her shoulder like a
child.

Johanna couldn't resist her daughter's plea and reluctantly agreed, “Okay, you
can cook.”

With that, Natalie rolled up her sleeves and headed into the kitchen, pushing
Brandon out.

“Go and chat with them.They’re bored and are outside watching TV.”

As Natalie disappeared into the kitchen, Brandon reclaimed his seat.

The atmosphere in the living room grew tense.

Johanna and Beal sat there and seemed extremely serious.

Beal sighed continuously.

Puzzled, Brandon asked, “What's going on? What do you wish to say?”
Johanna didn’t mince words.

“We know about your condition, Brandon.Natalie caught Vivian and obtained
some files from her flash drive.l was concerned that Vivian may have other tricks
up her sleeve, so I looked through the contents of the files.To our surprise, we
found your medical records.”

“You need to explain this to us clearly.We were furious when we found out,” Beal
added gravely.

Admitting to the authenticity of the reports, Brandon sighed, “It's true.”

“What do you mean by intentionally concealing your illness? Do you want my
daughter to become a widow in the near future?”

Johanna’s face turned cold.She was about to say more, but Beal held her hand,
trying to calm her down.

“Let Brandon explain first.He's always been considerate and truthful.'m sure he
has a good reason.”

Beal urged, “Brandon, say something.Explain it to us.”

With her lips tightly pressed together, Johanna said in a frigid tone, “Had Natalie
not been present, I would have confronted you when we left the interrogation
room.lt appears that Natalie is unaware of your condition.Wasn't she given the
files?”

“After Natalie fell asleep, I deleted them.She remains oblivious to my condition.”
With a solemn demeanor, Brandon lowered his gaze and rose to his feet, bowing
to them respectfully.

“However, I do have a reason, and I would be grateful if you could hear me out.”
