Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 157: In Hurry To Reach

Justin’s grip on the phone tightened, veins bulging on his hand as if he might crush the device. His gaze darkened, a storm brewing in his expression.

"Stop the car," he ordered coldly.

The driver immediately pulled over to the side of the road. Justin stepped out, shrugging off his suit jacket and tossing it into the car.

"Noah, find us a route with fewer signals and less traffic," Justin instructed.

Noah, already anticipating what was on his mind, began working swiftly on his tablet. The driver, one of Justin’s bodyguards, quickly exited the vehicle to make room for his boss. Justin slid behind the wheel while the bodyguard climbed into the passenger seat.

Noah connected the tablet to the car’s screen, setting the optimal route. The bodyguard glanced at the map and gave directions. "Mr. Harper, take the next left."

The luxury car roared to life, accelerating at full speed, leaving stunned pedestrians in its wake.

"Contact a doctor," Justin instructed curtly, his focus sharp as he drove like a force of nature.

"On it, Mr. Harper," Noah said, already dialling the doctor’s number even before Justin gave the order.
