Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 6: Her Image Is Downright Worse

Meanwhile, in a private room at one of the luxurious restaurants in the Imperial city...

"Seems like someone is cursing you, Justin," said the platinum blond man sitting opposite him at the dining table. "Definitely a woman."

Rowan Lawson, Justin's close friend and the son of the influential Lawson family, was known for his wit and charm. The Lawsons were among the four most powerful families in the Imperial city. Rowan and Justin had studied abroad together, but unlike Justin, Rowan had returned home to manage the family business.

"What's gotten into you to take an interest in a woman like her?" Rowan's expression clearly showed his disdain for Natalie.

Justin raised a brow. "What do you mean by a woman like her?"
