The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Outraged, Johanna gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

It was great that she had been doing more exercise now and was in good health, or else she would‘ve passed out right this instance.

To calm herself down, she had to take a few deep breaths.

Then, she put on a serious expression and said to Lila, “A man like Eric will never treat a young woman like you seriously.Even if he really gets divorced and marries you, you‘ve already had an affair with him while he‘s still married.Once you‘re married to him, people will find out how you manage it and everyone will look down upon you.Think this through, Lila.If you marry that man, people will call you all sorts of horrible names.”

Meanwhile, Natalie was sitting on the sofa, watching them in silence.

Interfering in other people‘s marriage was never right, even if it had been for love.

Lila refused to listen to their advice.

Beal and Johanna were right, but she still believed in her and Eric‘s love.

Moreover, the Torres family was one of the prominent families in Barnes.

She thought that they were probably just jealous, so they wanted to separate her and Eric.

“Why can‘t I marry Eric? I’ve found a better man than those you introduced to me, but you refuse to acknowledge our relationship.Do you think all I deserve is to marry an ordinary man?”

Lila sounded really angry.

Why did everyone hate her? This time, both Johanna and Beal were too disappointed to speak.

Their daughter had misunderstood them.She was treating their kindness as malice, and they had no idea how to better explain things to her.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Silence ensued in the living room.

Moments later, Johanna heaved a deep sigh, breaking the silence.“Date whoever you want, just not a married man.”

Lila wiped away her tears and said, “I do want to date an unmarried man, but I don‘t like any of the dates you‘ve found me.”

Unmarried young men from rich families didn‘t want her, so targeting rich divorced men was the only way she could think of to marry into a rich family.

Johanna could tell what her daughter was thinking, so she tried to persuade her.

“Life isn‘t as easy as you think.Marrying into rich families isn‘t that great.Trust me.Though the men I found for you aren‘t as rich as Eric, I‘m sure that they can guarantee you a carefree life.Why can‘t you just settle, Lila?”

Lila burst into tears again.She started to resent her mother.

“You think I don’t know that you just can‘t bear to see me marry a rich guy? You simply think that I deserve worse than Natalie!”

Upon seeing that Lila was actually being so unreasonable, Johanna‘s face reddened from anger. She seldom got so angry ever since she had stopped dealing with business.

Johanna was about to give up, but she had to consider the reputation of the White family first and foremost. If Lila went on to continue seeing Eric, someone would find out about this sooner or later.

At that time, the White family would be put to shame.

“Anyway, you‘re not allowed to see Eric anymore. The White family really can‘t have a daughter who‘s a home–wrecker!”

Seeing the sternness written all over Johanna‘s face, Lila clenched her fists tightly to her sides and said to her, “Mom, Eric and I are really...”

Johanna lifted her hand to stop Lila and with a stern look in her eyes, she said, “If you don‘t listen to me, you can no longer call yourself a White.”

In the past, Johanna used to be a fierce businesswoman in Barnes. Whenever she was this serious, people would feel suppressed by her imposing demeanor.

Since she had said these words, it must mean she was really angry. And her words were very straightforward and to the point. If Lila went on to see Eric, she would be directly forced out of the family. Lila held herself back and lowered her gaze to the floor.She didn‘t dare to cry or contradict Johanna anymore right now. The only thing she could do was nod reluctantly.

“Okay, I won‘t see him anymore, Mom.“. Johanna waved her hand around and gestured Lila to go back to her room.

“Go back to your room and think about what we have just discussed.” Lila turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and asked her mother, “How did you find out that I‘ve been seeing Eric?”

“How could we not know when Eric came personally to pick you up right in front of our house?” Johanna said rather unhappily.

Beal cleared his throat and said to her, “Natalie saw you in a married man‘s car. She was worried about you, so that was why she told us.”

Lila had a wry smile on her face and instantly got angry. She sent a resentful glance over at Natalie.

That bitch did it deliberately because she didn‘t want to see her happy. Furthermore, she must‘ve said something to their parents to make them react in this way.

Ignoring the expression Lila had on her face, Natalie continued to look through her phone. With Johanna and Beal here, no matter how dissatisfied and angry Lila was, she didn‘t dare to show any of her displeasure. She could only pretend that nothing had happened and go back to her room with her tail between her legs.

Now, there were only Beal, Johanna, and Natalie left in the living room. Johanna pinched Beal‘s arm and said in an angry voice,

“You just told Lila that it was Natalie who snitched on her? Do you want to make her hate Natalie even more?”

Beal furrowed his brows. He wasn‘t thinking just now.

“Lila won‘t dare to get back at Natalie. I have already warned her before.”

“Who knows what she might be capable of? Lila happens to be a grown woman now and she has her own mind. We don‘t need to intervene too much in this matter than we have to, just let her think for herself.”
