Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 145: Why Did You Agree To Marry Natalie

"I’ll say this once and for all. Listen carefully, and do not ask any follow-up questions because I won’t change my answer," she said, her voice firm and confident. "Every accusation or rumor you’ve spread about Natalie is false. She never plagiarized anything—in fact, she was the victim. I trust her as much as I trust myself. Everything Natalie Ford has said in her defense, I will say the same. Her words are my words. So, after this, don’t come to me looking for more answers what Natalie has already answered you."

"So you mean that even if she does something wrong, you would still stand by her side?" a reporter pressed.

Mia looked at him calmly. "Natalie Ford could never do anything wrong. I might, but she wouldn’t. That’s how much I trust her. I think I’ve made myself clear. Now, if you’ll excuse me."

"Ms Mia..."

"Oh! Well," Mia stopped and turned back. "Now you guys have wasted my time, I have something to say." She looked at the camera, "Nat, my phone battery is down and I can’t call you. I know you must be seeing this news, so just know that I will come see you once I take enough rest. Don’t miss too much, alright. See you."

Mia turned around and walked away toward the waiting car, and no one dared to stop her.

Through he message to Natalie, Mia made it clear that how strong her bond with Natalie was.

All the reporters could do was to curse her silently for being so arrogant, frustrated that they hadn’t gotten anything useful out of her. They knew they couldn’t report in the news that the daughter of the Wilson family was insufferable and arrogant without risking the wrath of the powerful Wilson family.

Meanwhile, in Natalie’s office, everyone but Natalie was left stunned as they watched the scene unfold on the TV screen.

"Ms. Mia?" Ella finally exhaled the breath she’d been holding as Mia got into the car. "Wow! I thought only Ms. Natalie was dangerous with words, but... Ms. Mia is something else."

Dan, equally speechless, added, "That’s a true friend, Ms. Natalie."

Ella glanced over at Natalie, who had already resumed working. "Ms. Natalie, your friend is truly impressive—just like you."
