The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Although Sebastian was his bastard son, he still carried the Klein family name.He didn‘t think it was right for Sebastian to humiliate the whole family just because he hated Elissa.

Patrick was so angry that he personally went to Barnes to see Sebastian on the day he found out about the news.

“Sebastian Klein! You really have the gall, don‘t you?” Patrick spat aggressively.

“Your wife killed my mother, and now, in trying to kill me, she almost killed my wife,” Sebastian said calmly.

“Let‘s settle the old and new grudges together.I‘m telling you—I won‘t give her the chance to get away with her crimes.”

Patrick‘s eyes went as wide as saucers.He knew about Sylvia‘s sudden death, but he didn‘t think too much about it.

After all, Sylvia was just some woman he had a one night stand with.

Moreover, he needed Elissa and her family‘s support, so he had to turn a blind eye to the fact that Elissa hated Sylvia to the core.Now that he thought about it, he found it highly possible that Elissa had killed Sylvia.

And he also knew that Elissa wanted to kill Sebastian, too.

After all, she had already tried once.Sebastian had enough evidence to prove it.The man was no longer the loser he used to be.He had the Larson Group, and Patrick couldn‘t do anything about it.

Seeing the hesitation in Patrick‘s eyes, Sebastian sneered coldly.

“Since you have nothing else to say, get out.Now!”

Patrick clenched his fists and stormed off angrily.He had already warned that damned woman, but Elissa didn‘t take him seriously at all.

In the Klein family home, Seacisco.Elissa was so anxious that she kept smoking non–stop.The whole living room was shrouded in a cloud of smoke.

When Ritchie heard the news, he called Elissa and tried to comfort her.

“Mom, don‘t worry.Sebastian‘s just a lowly bastard.What could he possibly do to us?”“Grow up, Ritchie! We‘re not facing Sebastian Klein now.We‘re facing Brandon Larson, the CEO of the Larson Group.He could destroy us with a snap of his fingers!”

Elissa cried.

Ritchie still didn‘t think it was a big deal.

“We have dad on our side, remember? He‘ll help us.”

Speaking of the devil, Patrick arrived.Elissa overheard the servant answering the door and greeting respectfully, “Mr.Klein.”

“I have to go.Your father‘s back.”

Elissa immediately put the phone away.

Quickly extinguishing the cigarette in her hand, she stuffed the butt under the sofa cushion.She quickly calmed herself down and put on a calm smile.She walked over to take Patrick‘s coat and asked gently, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Patrick cast a glance at her and shrugged off his coat.

There was no trace of anger on his face.

Elissa took the heavy coat and sighed with relief.

Just when she thought she had dodged a bullet, Patrick suddenly slapped her across the face hard.

The blow made Elissa scream and fall to her knees.

Patrick undid the cuffs on his sleeves, his chest heaving violently.

His face livid, he demanded, “What the hell have you done?”

Elissa was in a panic.She cradled her swollen cheek and glared at Patrick defiantly.

“What have I done? Patrick Klein! How many times have you hit me now?”

“You‘re still going to try to hide it from me?” Patrick roared angrily.

“Sebastian has sued you! He has enough evidence to put you behind bars for good!”Elissa gnashed her teeth and glared at Patrick ferociously.

Knowing that she couldn‘t deny it anymore, she let it all out in howls.

“I did it for you and the Klein family! Sebastian hates us and has always been our enemy! I wanted to get rid of him for the sake of the whole family!”

“You‘re still trying to make excuses for your unforgivable actions?!”

Patrick was so angry that his face contorted and turned purple.He wanted to beat the life out of this vicious woman.

“I warned you not to do anything to him again.I gave you one more chance and you went behind my back! Now that he has evidence against you, I can‘t help you.I refuse, to help you!”

Elissa was shell–shocked.She looked at Patrick in disbelief, and struggled to stand on her feet.

“What was that supposed to mean? Are you saying you‘re going to abandon me? Patrick, have you forgotten how my family has helped you? You owe me!”

Patrick looked down at her coldly.

“I refuse to have a murderer as a wife.I want a divorce.You brought this upon yourself.”

At the mention of the word “divorce”, all the color drained from Elissa‘s face.She fell to the ground as if she had been struck by lightning.

Without an ounce of sympathy, Patrick left her lying on the ground.A few minutes later, a servant suddenly rushed over and screamed, “Ma‘am! The police are at the door!”

Elissa wanted to run away, but she couldn‘t.She could do nothing but burst into tears.At last, two policemen took her away.

Ritchie was away on a business trip to another city.Since his last phone call with his mother, he had put the matter out of his mind.He thought it was not a big deal and nothing would happen.

However, when he finally returned home, he looked around the place but didn‘t see Elissa.He asked the servant curiously,

“Where is my mother? She should be playing cards with the other wealthy ladies at home at this time.”The servant faltered, “Mrs.Klein...She was arrested by the police two days ago.”

“Does my dad know about this?” Ritchie was flabbergasted.

“Didn‘t he stop them?”

The servant didn‘t know the details and simply said, “Sir, you will have to ask Mr.Klein yourself.I don‘t have the answers.”

*******

Ritchie rushed to Patrick, who was busy in the middle of a meeting.His secretary and assistant tried to stop Ritchie from barging in.

In a fit of rage, he pushed them aside and stormed into the board room.

“Dad, aren‘t you going to do something about Mom? You just stood there and watched Sebastian put her in jail?” Ritchie said, enraged.

Patrick‘s face darkened.He had made up his mind and wouldn‘t falter in his resolve.He said, “There is no room for discussion about this.If you don‘t want me to get angry, you better get out of my sight right this instant.”

Ritchie clenched his teeth in fury.When he was just about to say something, Patrick‘s secretary entered the office and whispered something covertly in Patrick‘s ear.

“Sir, Mr.Seth Klein has returned.He is waiting for you in your office.”

Ritchie managed to overhear the whisper and was quite pleasantly surprised by the information.

“Seth has returned?”

Seth would be much helpful than him.

Patrick had always held Seth in much higher regard than him.

Upon hearing this, Patrick‘s face darkened.He announced the end of the meeting and went back to his office.

At that moment, there was a man in a smart brown suit sitting in Patrick‘s office.The man was in his thirties and looked like he belonged to the circle of the business elite.

Like a refined gentleman, he smiled at the assistant who brought him coffee and thanked her with a certain sort of charm.

After the assistant left, he picked up the cup of coffee and raised his gaze.He saw Patrick, who came in with Ritchie behind him.

“Dad, Ritchie.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Seth put down the cup, crossed his legs and observed them carefully.

Seth had lived in Sugden for many years.

Since he got married, he had seldom come back to Seacisco for anything.
