Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Their Own Plans

Natalie raised an eyebrow at how defiantly calm Justin was acting. He looked composed on the surface, but she sensed he was hiding his emotions and that he was clearly shocked.

"Are you afraid that if you admit it, I would ask for a share of your huge wealth, Mr. Harper?"

Justin chuckled mockingly. "How much do you want? I can give it to you as a pity compensation for feeling disappointed that I'm not your husband."

Natalie scoffed. "You can keep your wealth in the pocket of your expensive suit, Mr. Harper. All I want is the truth."

"I already told the truth. I am not Aiden Handrix."

Natalie stared at him silently for a while, their stubborn gazes locked, neither willing to back down. She realized she wouldn't get the answer she wanted from him today. Whether he was telling the truth or not, she would find out sooner or later.

She stood up. "I will take my leave then. Make sure to send that document back to me. You must have already investigated me and know where I stay."

Not waiting for his reply, she turned and left.

After half an hour, Noah returned. "Mr. Harper, this marriage certificate is genuine," he said, placing the document on the desk in front of Justin, who was engrossed in work.

Justin wasn't surprised. "Did you try to find out the identity of the man?"

"The government office can't reveal personal details," Noah replied.

"Even if they could, I'm sure it wouldn't be enough," Justin said, closing the folder in his hands and setting it on the desk. "She claims she has no idea who this man is, nor when this supposedly happened."

"Yes, Mr. Harper."

"Assign someone to follow her everywhere. Keep a close watch for anyone suspicious around her."

"Mr. Harper, do you really trust her?" Noah asked, his expression skeptical. "What if she's faking all of this to trap you?"

Justin had his doubts as well. If she was up to something, he needed to know before she made her next move. From the short time he'd observed her, Justin could tell she was capable of the unexpected. "We'll find out once you follow my instructions."
