In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 83: Love Conquers Everything

Mr. Ramirez sits down behind the desk, his eyes fixing on my face. Now I can understand why Mr. Booth shivered like a piece of leaf earlier. This man is fucking intimidating.

“Do you have anything to say?” he asks in an indifferent tone.

Eason is about to say something, but I speak up before him. “Sir, I probably shouldn’t have exposed their schemes and lies in front of everyone downstairs, but I do not regret it. Eason doesn’t deserve to be treated like that. He needs someone to look over for him.”

Eason’s grip on my hand suddenly tightens, as if a strong wave of emotions is surging inside of him. I lock eyes with him for a brief second and notice his eyes filled with nothing but love and gratitude.

Mr. Ramirez taps the desktop with his knuckle and brings out attention back. “So you just decided to step in and take over everything without a word with me first? Natalia, from your perspective, don’t I deserve to know first?”

I bite my lower lip in embarrassment. He right. But how do I tell him that I don’t ful trust him on this? He is a strong and powerful man. With enough benefits, I thin he’ll put the Ramirez’s future before Eason’s personal happiness.

Even till now, I still don’t know where he stands.

“With all due respects Sir…” I begin, carefully weighing every word I say. “I thought you were on board this marriage thing as well. I have to expose Ms. Griswold and Katherine. I couldn’t take any risks…”

“I agree. But you should have told ME about your suspicions and let ME do the rest of the work. Or at least ask about MY opinion before doing anything reckless. I’m his father, his blood. Yet you are only his stepsister. You have no right to decide what’s best for him.”

I can’t even keep my head up in front of his scolding. The original plan was to get him understand our motives and tell him about our relationship while he’s in a good mood. But I pissed him off first. How am I supposed to say that I want to marry his son?

My heart keeps sinking, like dropping into an endless pit. Yet right at this moment, Eason speaks up: “You are wrong father. She does have the right.”

Mr. Ramirez narrows his eyes dangerously at us as my heartrate suddenly accelerates. Based on the way I know him, he’s going to say something bold and reckless! Yet I hardly think this is a good timing!

“Eason-“I try to stop him, but he continues anyway.
