Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 4: Not A Chance In Hell

After Sephina hung up the call, Clara asked, "Is she coming, Mother?"

Sephina nodded. "Yes. Let's see who she has married."

"Grandma, I remember the name of her husband," Briena chimed in. "I searched for him, and there's no one special with that name. All are ordinary men. That means she didn't marry anyone significant but just a random man."

"That's better. This way, it will be easier to get our hands on the entire company."

"Ivan will be here as well."

"Why did you call him here?" Clara asked. "To maintain your good image, you shouldn't show our family conflicts to him."

"Mother, I want him to see how pathetic the woman he loves is and how she has been nothing but trouble to us."

"Do as you wish," Sephina encouraged.

Natalie arrived at the Ford residence in a cab. The moment she entered the huge iron gate, the servants spotted her and started gossiping in hushed voices, but she paid them no mind.

This house, if not for her mother's memories attached to it, would have been a place she would never step into again. These people had sent her away to a far-off place with the intention of making her suffer and live at their mercy. After her mother's death, this so-called family of hers saw her as nothing but an eyesore. The only reason she tolerated them was that she still thought of them as family.

Entering the drawing room, Natalie saw her family waiting for her.
