Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 84: You Never Truly Loved Me, Did You?

Ivan Brown, he was looking for his friend Steve Davis but happened to stumble with Natalie who was clearly displeased to see him. He briefly observed her.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over her as if seeing her for the first time in a long while, and briefly observed her.

The double-breasted blazer, with gold buttons adding a touch of sophistication. Underneath, she wore a delicate ivory silk camisole that peeks out subtly, offering a soft contrast to the structured jacket.

High-waisted slim-fit trousers, made from matching fabric, tapering gracefully to just above the ankle, showcasing her black pointed-toe stiletto heels, which elevate the entire look with understated glamour.

Her hair was neatly styled into a low, sleek bun, emphasizing her sharp features and adding a polished, refined touch to her overall appearance. A soft nude lip, a hint of blush for a natural glow, and subtle eyeliner to define her eyes completed her look—minimal yet flawless.

She wore simple, delicate jewelry: pearl earrings and a thin gold bracelet that complemented her refined, modern aesthetic.

Though others might overlook her understated elegance, to Ivan, she suddenly looked strikingly beautiful.

Natalie, ignoring him, was about to change her path when Ivan called out, "What are you doing here?"

"None of your business," she shot back, her tone icy.

"Just because you’re the CEO of a failing company doesn’t mean you deserve to be here," he retorted, attempting to mask the brief attraction he felt by attacking her with a bitter remark.

He reminded himself—Briena was far more beautiful than Natalie.
