The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Laney hobbled out of the bathroom, every inch of her body sore.
Carrett saw the sweat gathered on her forehead and that she clutched onto the door frof the bathroom with her fingers,
seemingly not knowing what to do next.
She seemed to be hesitating at the bathroom door about how to walk back awkwardly.
This was indeed very inconvenient for her and she would feel even more uncomfortable if Garrett continued to stay there.
Garrett picked up his suit jacket from the chair and uttered these words, “I have a meeting to attend to later; so I’m heading out
now.I’ll call the nurse over later.If you need anything, she can help you. Feel free to spend Sebastian’s money as you please.
Your injury was a result of you protecting his woman after all.You can also callif anything else comes up.”
Before leaving, Garrett placed his fingertip on the cake box and tapped on it.
“Since it’s not going in the fridge, you’d better finish it up soon.”
Watching Garrett walk out the door, Laney staggered from the bathroom in the direction of the bed.She looked at the pink bear-
like cake and hesitated for stime.
After that, she slowly made her way over to the cake box and opened it.She dipped her fingers into the pink cream and placed it
into her mouth.
The cream was very sweet, much sweeter than she originally thought.
But it was not very greasy.
Looking at the door that Garrett had gone out of, Laney thought that he was not that bad after all.
As soon as Natalie snuck back to the company, Tiffany asked her to meet her in her office.
“Why haven’t you shown up the whole morning? Where did you head off to?”
There was anxiety evident in Tiffany’s voice.She was dressed up very gracefully today.She had on a long pink off-the-shoulder
dress, appearing very elegant. Usually, she liked to wear suits of black and white colors, which made her appearance seem very
shrewd and capable.

“What’s the matter? What happened?”
Rubbing her fingers together in a nervous manner, Natalie appeared a little confused.
Tiffany wouldn’t be looking for her if there wasn’t anything important.
Tiffany shook her head with a look of disappointment on her face.
She took the coat hanging from the hanger and rapped Natalie’s forehead with her knuckles.
“You are really forgetful. This afternoon happens to be the opening of Fashion Week in Seacisco.”
All of a sudden, it dawned on Natalie that the clothes she designed would be the first one to be on display.
“What are you doing still standing here? Let’s go now!”
Tiffany uttered after she opened the door and turned around to give Natalie a look.
On the venue of the Fashion Week at Seacisco.
Natalie and Tiffany sat at the seats under the runway which happened to be set up in a maple forest.
Natalie was the youngest person among the designers of the first show and this would be her first ttaking part in such an
activity, so she was attracting a whole lot of attention.
Tiffany was familiar with a bunch of people in the designer circle since she was once also a designer like a dark horse with a
bright future.
Tiffany led Natalie to meet with many famous designers.
After several rounds of chit-chat, Natalie got acquainted with a bunch of designers in the city.
The fashion show started at approximately four o’clock in the afternoon.
Pretty soon, Natalie’s work was on display onstage.
This time, the materials she used were soft silk fabric and silver threads to the silk cloth.
At this moment in time, a breeze blew the dress designed by Natalie, making it outshine all the other dresses.

Like the others present in the showroom, Tiffany pulled out her cell phone and began to take pictures of the models wearing the
dresses.
Sexclamations sounded out from tto time.
‘Even the wind happens to support you this afternoon.”
Tiffany smiled and activated the shutter on her phone screen.
With a shy smile on her face, Natalie quietly turned her head around to look at the people who were apparently thoroughly
impressed by her design.
She felt a special sense of satisfaction and accomplishment flow through her heart.Her initial intention of being a designer was
not to be famous but to be appreciated and liked by the others around her.
Just as everyone was admiring her designs on the stage, a woman suddenly rushed onto the catwalk, trying to catch her breath.
She stopped all the models, angrily pointed her finger at Natalie, and shouted out loud, “Natalie Quinn, you’re such a shameless
plagiarist! How could you actually plagiarize my work openly in this way?”
Natalie held her chest and looked at the woman with her mouth agape.
The security guards immediately rushed up to stop the woman.
One of them snatched the microphone from her and the others tried to drag her away from the stage.
“Miss, you need to be careful with your words. You are at the Seacisco Fashion Week and it’s a live show.”
“Ha-ha! That makes it even better.I want everyone to see who Natalie is. They must know that she’s an intellectual property
thief.Good day, everyone.My nis Luna Mccoy and I’m a designer from Klein Silk Fabric.Just now, I noticed that her designs
are very similar to the designs that I did stback.The resemblance is so uncanny that I’m sure she plagiarized my work,”
the woman uttered arrogantly.
“What? She stole the designs? Unbelievable!”
There was an uproar at the venue after the crowd heard Luna’s words.

Sparing her no tto continue, the security guards carried her off the stage.
But she was stubborn.She struggled with them and continued to shout at the top of her lungs.
“Plagiarism is a taboo for all designers! You aren’t supposed to steal someone else’s work.Natalie, aren’t you ashamed of
yourself? You claim to be original and creative, but you stand here and pass off my work as yours. You also pretend as if you did
nothing wrong.Don’t you have any conscience?”
The news soon got to the sponsor of the Seacisco Fashion Week.
A member of the staff rushed over and said assuredly, “Miss, please calm down.We frown at plagiarism and attach great
importance to the originality of the designs displayed on this show.We will surely look into this matter.But you need to tender
sevidence to back up your claim.”
“Humph! Of course I have evidence!”
Luna broke free from the security guards’ hold.
The uproar beceven louder when the crowd heard that she had evidence.
Meanwhile, Natalie was utterly confused.
She pondered, ‘What’s going on? And why is this woman making such accusations? I didn’t plagiarize anyone’s work! I did
everything myself!’ .
Tiffany was also surprised.
She wanted to get to the root of the matter immediately.
“Natalie, the Seacisco Fashion Week is a big deal around the world.Headlining the show is supposed to take our company to the
peak of the clothing industry.We can’t let this ruin our chances. You need to clear up this misunderstanding as soon as
possible.Let’s go there!”
Plagiarism wasn’t a joking matter.
Such an accusation could destroy Natalie’s career and the company’s reputation in the blink of an eye.

“Ms.Fisher, I put this on everything I love, I didn’t plagiarize anyone’s work.All my designs are the products of my creativity and
several sleepless nights. You have to believe me.”
Natalie held up her right hand as she swore solemnly.
Not only was Natalie naturally an incorrupt person, but she also understood that plagiarism was taboo.
She had even deliberately avoided using similar elements while putting together her designs.
“Of course, I believe you.But that doesn’t mean that everyone here feels the sway.Let’s go and see what’s going on.This is
not only about you now; it’s also about the reputation of the Larson Group.”
The calm and innocent look on Natalie’s face further proved to Tiffany that this accusation was just a big mistake.
“Thanks for believing me.Don’t worry.I will handle it.”
With inexplicable boldness, Natalie walked over to where Luna was and asked, “What’s going on exactly?”
