I Held My Own Funeral and Came Back to Kill Him Chapter 09

“Mrs. Carter, I don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Carter.”

“And I understand even less why you would fake your death and deceive him like this, but I do think you owe him an apology.”

“For the past year, Mr. Carter has been completely broken because of you.”

“He hasn’t taken part in managing the company for a full year. He drinks every day just to get through it.”

“We old employees have watched it happen, and it’s been painful for all of us.”

“I honestly don’t understand it. Mr. Carter treated you so well, so why would you do something like this?”

“Was it all because of Lucas?”

“Carter Group may not be bigger than Bennett Group, but Mr. Carter loves you far more than Lucas ever could.”

The moment he said that, the other longtime executives from Carter Group started chiming in too.

“Mrs. Carter, Mr. Carter’s feelings for you were obvious to everyone. In our eyes, the two of you were always the perfect couple. None of us understand why you would do something to hurt him like this.”

“Natalie, do you even realize who the man kneeling in front of you is?”

“He’s the head of Carter Group. He’s the richest man in this city. Have you ever seen him humble himself like this for anyone?”

“Natalie, you owe us an explanation today.”

“That’s right. We’re getting an explanation today, or Lucas can forget about investing here.”

“Enough.”

Julian roared so loudly that the room fell silent.

“This is my fault. All of it. None of this is Natalie’s fault.”

He looked at me.

“Natalie, come home with me. Let’s forget the past and start over.”

I lowered my head and whispered in his ear, “I can’t forget the past, because I came back from the dead, and you already killed me once.”

“So what happens next? Are you going to admit what you did yourself, or do you want me to tell everyone here the truth?”

Julian, who had been kneeling on the floor, shot to his feet and lunged at Lucas.

“No one gets to steal my woman. No one.”

“Natalie, I’ve already set my heart on you. You can only be my wife.”

He roared the words out.

Lucas had trained in boxing. It only took him a couple of moves to knock Julian to the floor.

Even on the ground, Julian kept shouting curses.

“This outsider is trying to steal my wife.”

The moment he said that, several people from Carter Group rushed forward.

The bodyguards Lucas had brought with him moved in too.

The whole room descended into chaos in an instant.

Julian took advantage of the confusion and charged at me, but Lucas got in front of me before he could reach me.

“Natalie, come home with me.”

Julian stared at me as if he wanted to burn a hole through me.

“If you don’t come back with me, I’ll fight Lucas to the bitter end. I swear I’ll take you back from him.”

“Julian, you’re a coward,” I said, looking straight at him. “You had the nerve to do it, but not the nerve to own it. Do you really think you’re walking out of here today?”

I picked up the microphone.

“Everyone, please settle down and look at the screen.”
