The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Meanwhile, Lauren was busy estimating the remaining assets of the Quinn family. Just then, the doorbell rang. She irritably stood up and walked toward the door.

“Who is it?” Cassie should be at Luke's place now, and she wasn't expecting visitors. Lauren's eyes widened in horror as she opened the door.

“Cassie!” She clamped her mouth with her palm at the miserable sight of her daughter.

“What happened to you?” She knew Luke was a sexual deviant.

But he was old. He wouldn't have the energy to ravage her daughter like this.

“Mom, Natalie set me up! | am going te Kill that bitch!” Cassie burst into tears; she could no longer control her anger.

She narrated the unfortunate event of the previous night, hitching with sobs.

“That bitch! How dare she hurt you like this? | don't care what happens to me. | won't let her get away with this!” Lauren hissed through her teeth, her voice dripping with venom. She was a picture of pure rage.

Cassie suffered from serious injuries and was admitted to the

hospital the next day, Charis heard the news from her father.

When Charis went downstairs, she saw her father in the dining room, having dinner alone. The man seldom came home, and she was surprised to see him “What happened, Dad? Why didn’t you go on a date with your girlfriend today?” “Cassie is in the hospital,” Luke answered nonchalantly, “What happened to her? And what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the hospital with her?” Charis asked curiously “Well, | asked her what happened, but she is reluctant to tell me. If you have the time, why don’t you go and visit her?” Luke wiped his mouth and stood up from the table. He didn't have time to worry about such trivial issues. Cassie was a mere plaything to him. Yes, he hadn't lost interest in her yet, but that didn’t mean he cared about the woman Charis smiled but didn’t say anything. The members of the Turner family all shared one characteristic: they never cared about the feelings of insignificant people. Charis called Cassie and finally learned what had happened. She couldn't help but curse the woman's stupidity. Cassie had come up with a foolish plan that ended up ruining her life.

Meanwhile, Charis was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that Cassie hated Natalie so much that she had even hired people to rape her. Charis despised people who inflicted harm upon others. Even so, she needed a vindictive person like Cassie to execute her plans. Charis didn't think she made any mistake.

She had merely stirred troubles to separate Natalie from Brandon.

Cassie was the true culprit. Besides, Natalie should blame herself for offending Cassie. Charis was depressed and discontented for losing a valuable piece like Cassie in her game in such a short time. Charis would have been less resentful if Cassie at least got a pyrrhic victory. However, Cassie's plans had only backfired and ruined her own life. Besides, Natalie was still living a happy life without any worries. “Gosh, could she be more stupid? | can't believe my father likes such a foolish woman!” After a lot of thinking, she concluded that Cassie and her mother would still be of some use to her. After all, it was easy to fool Cassie. The mother and daughter despised Natalie as much as she did.

Therefore, joining hands with them would enable her to fulfill her goals easily.

A true businessman would make full use of every opportunity, and Charis was no exception.

Charis quickly changed her clothes, bought a get-well gift basket, and went to the hospital to see Cassie. “Dad is also worried about you. He asked me to check on you.” She placed the basket on the table and secretly examined Cassie's face. She looked weak and haggard. Her legs and arms were wrapped in gauze.

There were faint, purple hickeys on her neck. Charis grabbed Cassie's hand and sighed. “How could Natalie be so cruel to let them torture you this way?” Fresh tears streamed down Cassie's cheeks. “Does Mr. Turner know about what happened to me?” “No. How can | tell my father about it? It will ruin your reputation.” Charis sat on the bed beside her with a pitiful look on her face.

“You don't know how cruel and merciless Natalie is. | want to fucking kill that bitch!” Cassie's eyes turned bloodshot with rage.

She spoke as if this was never her plan.

‘The first time | saw her, | didn’t think she was a simple woman either. You're too kind and sympathetic. You have to think of a perfect way to deal with such a vindictive woman.” Charis added fuel to the fire.

“What do | do, Charis? Tell me what to do!” Cassie was desperate

to take revenge. She threw herself into Charis's arms and began sobbing uncontrollably. Charis’s eyes glinted with disgust.

Still, she patted Cassie's back and said, “Don’t worry. You should take care of yourself first.” Charis was in no hurry to drive a wedge between Cassie and Natalie. After all, Cassie was a fool who acted recklessly without thinking. She thought it was cardinal to train her first! Just then, the door of the ward flew open. “I brought you some soup, Cassie.” Lauren walked in with a pot of chicken soup.

Seeing Cassie resting on Charis’s arms, she recognized who she was at a glance. “Hello. You must be Miss Turner, right?” She smiled warmly.
