The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 606

“What do you mean? I’m just here to attend a regular award ceremony,” Natalie answered. Her tone was less cordial than last time.

Sneering, Kathie remarked, “Last time you broke into the Iridescent Show, and this time you came to the writers ‘ award ceremony. Which man did you hook up with this time? Does Barnes have a man like Derek?”

“I entered the venue as a designer of a winner’s dress today, relying on no man. How about you? How did you get in?” Natalie said with her eyes narrowed.

Estella had informed Natalie that the award ceremony was for writers. It was she who requested that Natalie be invited to the party, for she wasn’t really from the circle. Natalie was curious as to how Kathie, who wasn’t a writer either, got invited.

In a split second, Kathie’s expression darkened. She was about to speak but refrained herself after giving it some thought. A seasoned voice then emerged behind Natalie. “Kathie, have you found it?”

Natalie noticed the man who was around sixty years old as she glanced sideways. His face was wrinkly, and his hair was already beginning to turn grey. He appeared more hale and active than his peers while sporting a pair of round-framed glasses.

The elderly man was old enough to be Kathie’s father. Was he related to Kathie? Did he bring her here?

Natalie noticed the elderly man placing his frail hand on Kathie’s waist while she pondered.

“What’s wrong?” the man asked.

Leaning against the old man’s chest, Kathie whined in an intentionally thin voice, “Mr. Ortiz, I met a colleague who used to bully me. She ruined my career as a designer.”

“Who had the audacity to hurt my sweetheart?” Ameer Ortiz was clearly upset, but his eyes sparkled as he turned to face Natalie.

Everyone adored a youthful, stunning, and exquisite woman like Natalie. Ameer’s expression quickly had harmony in it. “Lady, Kathie has a nasty temper. Please pardon her. Still, it’s not a minor matter to ruin a person’s career. We’ll let it go if you apologize to her right now.”
