The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“Ella, I heard that your husband runs a company.Isn’t he great?”

Several of their old classmates surrounded Ella, buttering her up.

With an unbothered look on her face, Ella said, “My husband’s grandfather runs the company. It’s a family business and now my husband is in charge of it.My husband has been saying that he wants to start his own business, but his family won’t hear of They keep saying he is the only heir. There’s just so much responsibility on his shoulders.”

“Wow”

Envy filled the voices of those around her.

“Isn’t it better to have a family business to inherit? Starting a new business is risky!”

“You’re sa lucky! It’s such a surprise! You got married quickly after graduation, so while we were struggling to get jobs, you were already a rich housewife!”

Ella smirked slightly, raising her chin proudly.

Turning to Natalie, amusement colored her tone.

“How about you, Natalie? How are you doing? You’re married as well, aren’t you?”

Sense Of Superiority Ella’s words came as a surprise to all her classmates.

After all, nobody knew that Natalie was married “15 it true, Natalie? Are you really married? Why didn’t you tell us?”

“When did you hold the wedding? You didn’t invite any of us...”

Natalie shot Ella a cryptic glance then smiled embarrassedly, “I got married in a hurry and we just went to the church, 50 I wasn’t able to invite you guys.”

As she spoke, it finally dawned on Natalie that Ella had organized this class reunion for a reason to show off that she had married a rich man. When she first received Ella’s enthusiastic invitation, Natalie thought that meant that all Ella’s previous resentment towards her was gone.

Little did she know that Ella was just looking for an excuse to show off her superiority.“Where’s your husband now? It looks like you’re not having a good time, Natalie.”

Ella tittered, her slender legs Crossed Natalie looked at Ella’s black silk stockings and designer-brand red dress.

The Ella she had known was different now.

She locked eyes with Ella calmly and said, “Oh, I’m quite happy.”

Resting her chin on her hand, Ella stared at Natalie’s side profile and asked pointedly, “What does your husband do for a living?”

Natalie instantly knew what Ella was trying to do and had to resist the urge to roll her eyes.

“My husband works a part-time job,” she said calmly.

Hearing this, Ella’s eyes lit up in an instant.

It took her great effort to restrain the complacent smile on her face.

Reaching for Natalie’s hand, she feigned a look of concern.

“Then your life must be really difficult now, right? Oh, Natalie, you are so beautiful and you used to get such good grades in college.Why would you settle for such a man?”

Ella’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone heard her clearly.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Natalie sipped from her glass of water and shrugged nonchalantly: “My husband treats me well.”

As she spoke, her expression softened as though she was thinking about something happy, and she couldn’t help but smile contentedly. The complacent smile on Ella’s face froze.

She thought she must be mistaken.

The man that Natalie married was far worse than hers. How could Natalie show such a happy smile?

“In my opinion, marrying a man with a good financial background is best. Money helps us get over ninety-nine percent of marital troubles. It’s better to be a wealthy housewife than to toil all day long at work.”

Ella spoke with fervor and assurance like a wise sage Many of her classmates echoed her sentiments.“Natalie, you’re a beautiful young woman.Why did you get married so Early? You should’ve spent more time looking for options.

There’s plenty of fish in the sea.”

“Natalie was indeed a little dull when she was a student. didn’t expect that she would still be like this after graduation.”

Natalie shook her head firmly.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my marriage.”

Ella covered her mouth and pretended to be apologetic.

“Sorry! We didn’t mean to offend you.We just wanted to tell you how important it is to marry a man who can provide for his family.”

She paused for a few seconds and looked Natalie up and down with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

“Otherwise, you’ll be forced to wear only cheap clothes to class reunions.”

Natalie wasn’t mad at all she was clear with herself that the life she was living was the life that she wanted “Well, I suppose that makes sense,”

she offered she didn’t want to argue with Ella any further No one could truly know whether a marriage was happy or not aside from the involved couple themselves, anyway she couldn’t care less if Ella failed to understand that She had only bothered with a retort because she didn’t want anyone to look down on Sebastian Despite what others might think, Sebastian was the most responsible, calm, and reliable man she had ever met Ella continued blabbering throughout dinner, boasting about how huge her luxury mansion was, and how she had servants to help her get dressed in the morning Now and then, she would insert minor complaints that her life had become dull and boring after she married a rich mans It wasn’t long before Natalie got fed up with Ella’s arrogant diatribe.

She furtively gathered her purse and thought of an excuse to leave once the meal was finished.

But Ella was quick to notice her intention.She immediately clung to Natalie’s arm and flashed a knowing smile.

“Oh, are you going to the bathroom, Natalie? We’re heading to a high-class club after dinner to play cards and maybe do a bit of karaoke. You’re coming, right?”One of their classmates also spoke up.

“Come on, Natalie, you’ll be sorry if you miss this chance.Ella booked the Merry Club for us.I heard that it’s exclusive for members only, and you can’t apply unless you own some hundred million dollars’ worth of assets.”

As impressive as it sounded, Natalie was not interested at all.

“I’m a little tired,” she said.

“I’d like to go home early and get some rest.”

lronically, her words only seemed to excite Ella even more.

“Aren’t you sick of spending your days just working? Live a little! Look, if you’re hesitating because you don’t want to spend your hard-earned money, I can cover all the expenses for you. What do you say? We all finally got together after so long! Don’t be such a killjoy.”

Natalie squirmed as everyone’s gaze locked on her. Before she knew it, Ella was pulling her into the car with a wide grin on her face.

Moments later, they arrived at the Merry Club, where Ella claimed to have booked a private room for their enjoyment However, when she approached the reception to confirm her booking, she was informed that it had been voided.

“We apologize, Miss. Someone has booked the entire club for today,”

The staff gave her a polite smile.

“We have finished processing your refund.Please check to see that everything is in order.”

“Ella, didn’t you say that you booked the room in advance?” a classmate questioned as they waited in the corner like a bunch of lost refugees.

Her sharp tone grated on Ella’s already fraying nerves.She tapped her long fingernails on the reception desk.

“Don’t you have other private rooms? I can afford whichever is available.Name your price.”

“I’m sorry, Miss.Like I said, the whole club is booked. There are no rooms available.”Ella gritted her teeth and glanced at her classmates.

They had been looking forward to a good time in this posh and swanky establishment, and she had bragged that she would deliver.

She refused to lose face in front of them.

“But I booked the room in advance!” she insisted impatiently.

Even so, the staff remained calm.
