Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 123: Furious Natalie

Briena sped up the car, her eyes fixed on Natalie and Julia talking at a distance. But just then, Natalie separated from Julia and started to walk in the opposite direction—away from where Briena intended to steer the car.

Natalie’s attention was quickly drawn to the speeding vehicle, and she immediately recognized the pink sports car accelerating toward the side where Julia was standing. Fear gripped her heart as she sprinted back towards her grandmother.

"Grandma!" she exclaimed.

Julia turned to see the car racing toward her at high speed.

"Briena, watch out!" Lily shouted.

Briena, panicked and confused, hesitated before slamming on the brakes.

The car stopped just a foot away from Natalie’s body who had tightly hugged Julia in a hurry to protect her, her back facing the car. It all happened so fast, that even Natalie could not comprehend what to do.

She felt Julia trembling in her embrace. The old woman must have been utterly terrified seeing the car hurtling toward her.

Although the car had stopped before it could hit them, Natalie continued to hold Julia tightly, trying to provide some comfort.

John had stepped out of his car the moment he saw the vehicle speeding toward Julia and Natalie. But the car’s speed and the short distance between them made it impossible for him to reach in time to pull the women out of harm’s way.

If not for the car stopping all of a sudden, he was sure he would have lost these two women and then his own life. He could sacrifice his own life, but if something had happened to these two, he could never forgive himself. These were the two women important to his boss.

By then, a few people in the parking lot had gathered around the scene. Among them was Ivan, who had been in his car but witnessed the entire incident unfold. He immediately rushed out.

"G-Grandma, are you all right?" Natalie asked, her own voice trembling at the thought of what could have happened. Just imagining Julia being hurt pained her deeply.
