Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 33: Briena’s Another Plan

The next morning, Briena received a call from her manager, Ana. Still drowsy from sleep, she answered with a frown, "Do you realize the time, Ana?"

"I’m sorry, Briena, but it’s urgent," Ana replied, her tone anxious.

"What is it?" Briena asked, irritation creeping into her voice.

"Those youngsters, your fans who were instigated to attack Natalie, have been locked up. Their parents are making a scene in front of our office, demanding we help free their kids."

"What the...at this hour of the day?" Briena sat up in bed, suddenly wide awake. "If their kids are my fans and got instigated to attack someone, what does that have to do with me?"

"The parents are saying that because of you, their children committed a crime, and now you need to help them," Ana explained, her tone cautious. "And we did... you know, instigate them for a purpose."

"But no one knows we did it, so we don’t have to take responsibility," Briena snapped, raising her voice. "Tell them to deal with their own mess."

"Alright."

"Where is Natalie?" Briena asked, her tone sharp.

"She was taken to the hospital after the attack," Ana informed her.

A smirk curled on Briena’s lips. "Is she injured badly?"

"I’m not sure. I couldn’t reach her; it seems she’s being kept hidden. The police might be involved, thinking she could be in more danger after this attack. So, no outsiders are allowed to meet her."

"Not an outsider, but a family member can," Briena chuckled, a plan forming in her mind. "Don’t worry, I’ll personally check on her and make sure she is not dead yet."

"I hope she’s not seriously injured," Ana added, her tone wary. "This matter seems to be escalating, and it might affect your reputation if those youngsters get punished."

"Release the news of the fans being imprisoned. The angry ones will rally behind the attack, saying she deserved it for slapping me. They’ll demand the release of the attackers, and more hate will follow Natalie."
