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."

"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.
