Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Invitations For Charity Gala

Briena and Ivan quietly entered Albert’s hospital room, where he appeared to be sleeping. In reality, Albert was only pretending, hoping his family would leave him in peace.

"How’s Grandpa?" Briena asked softly.

"He has to stay in the hospital for another month," Sephina replied with a frown.

Briena pulled a worried expression. "Why? Wasn’t he well enough to visit Natalie’s home?"

"That’s probably why his condition worsened," Sephina grumbled, clearly displeased.

"Oh, by the way, I saw Natalie leaving with her husband. Did he come here?" Briena asked, curios.

Sephina’s face flushed with anger at the mention of him. "Don’t bring him up. That wretch married a rude, ill-mannered bastard just like her, who doesn’t even know how to speak to his in-laws."

Briena felt a wave of satisfaction, though she hid it behind her concerned expression. Ivan, standing beside her, felt the same sense of relief. Natalie really did marry a random man with no status and class.

"She met us outside, acting as if she’d married the most powerful man in the country," Briena complained, her tone laced with frustration. "She didn’t even speak to us properly. I’m used to it, but Ivan—after everything she’s done to him, she couldn’t even show him respect."

"She’s just covering her shame with arrogance," Clara chimed in, holding her daughter’s hand. "Don’t worry, Briena. She’ll soon realize the mistake she’s made."

Sephina’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully at these words. "There’s a charity gala tomorrow evening. Every company will be represented, and since Natalie is now CEO, she’ll receive an invitation. But her husband won’t but let’s see if she brings him. That’s your chance to show her where she and her husband truly belongs," she said, turning her gaze to Ivan. "And remind her of what she’s lost."

Briena and Ivan understood what Sephina meant and nodded.

’Natalie, this time, entire business world will see you getting humiliated,’ Briana thought with a smirk. ’CEO? Tsk! You would be left as nothing but a joke.’
