Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 103: The Truth

Justin held Julia’s hand. "Grandma, please, say no more," he then turned to Albert. "Mr. Ford, we will explain everything to you. But you need to calm down first."

"Justin, what’s going on?" Julia asked, her voice filled with worry and confusion.

"Grandma, I promise I’ll tell you everything, but let’s focus on Mr. Ford right now." Justin moved toward Albert, who stood there, utterly shocked, his gaze fixed on Natalie. "So... he’s not your husband?" Albert asked, his voice trembling.

"Grandpa, please, let us explain," Natalie pleaded, tears streaming down her face. She knew this revelation would be devastating for him—not just about Justin pretending to be her husband, but the painful reality that she didn’t know where her real husband was.

Justin reached Albert’s side. "Mr. Ford—"

But Albert had already begun to lose his composure. His body trembled as he clutched his heart, his teary eyes filled with pain, and his gaze locked on Natalie. "You lied to me?"

"Grandpa, please..."

"All this time... you... ugh..." A groan of pain escaped him.

"Grandpa!" Natalie cried, rushing to his side. Justin quickly followed, and together they eased Albert into a chair.

Albert’s face was ashen, his breath shallow. The hurt from the truth, combined with the physical pain, overwhelmed him as he closed his eyes, still clutching his chest. All those happy pictures he had of Natalie with her husband, started to shatter in in his memories.

All of that was a lie

The manager, who had been observing in shock, was unsure of what was happening. Justin quickly turned to him. "Call an ambulance. Hurry."

Julia, equally shocked and confused by the sudden turn of events, saw Albert’s condition worsening. Despite her confusion, she instinctively stepped in, her sense of responsibility taking over.
