Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 40: Justin At The Door

Moments later, everyone’s cell phones rang, and the reporters began watching a video that had just been shared. Shock spread through the crowd as they turned their eyes to Briena.

Ana, standing by Briena’s side, showed her the video, and Briena felt as if the ground had been pulled out from under her. Who could have recorded this incident other than the person she had trusted?

The video clearly showed Briena’s indifference toward their grandfather and the true reason why Natalie had slapped her. It cut off just before Ivan’s entry, as Natalie had decided not to involve a third party in their personal matters. This brief but revealing interaction between the sisters exposed Briena’s lies.

"Ms. Briena, what do you have to say about this?" a reporter asked, their tone demanding.

Briena, too shocked to respond, stood frozen, while Ana quickly interjected, "This video seems edited. We’ll investigate and answer your questions later."

Ana swiftly helped Briena leave the scene, with security guards ensuring the reporters couldn’t follow. They managed to get Briena back to her office safely.

"That was well played, Ms. Natalie," John remarked. "Now the reporters will keep her busy for a while."

"I can’t let those reporters chase after your boss, trying to uncover my husband. They’re better off focusing on my sister for now," Natalie replied with a satisfied smile.

"Ms. Natalie sure cares for Mr. Harper," John remarked, his tone lightly teasing. "Even when he’s not around, I hear more about him from you than from anyone else."

Natalie shot him a sharp glare. "You seem to be getting a little too comfortable here."

John was taken aback by the sudden shift in her demeanor. Did I offend her? he wondered.
