Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 206: His Intensity Can Kill Me

In front of their eyes, the luxury car drove out of the hospital parking lot, leaving Briena and Ivan stunned.

"How can they have that car?" Briena murmured, her disbelief evident. "That gigolo can’t possibly own something like this. Does it belong to the rich man who’s backing Natalie?"

Ivan, equally shocked, snapped out of his thoughts at Briena’s comment.

She turned to him, her voice laced with suspicion. "That means what Natalie told the reporters—that some rich man is supporting her—might actually be true."

Ivan didn’t respond immediately, his emotions swirling. Jealousy burned brightest among them, watching Natalie seemingly thrive in luxury.

"Let’s go," he said curtly, walking to his car. Once they were seated and Ivan had started driving, Briena spoke again.

"Ivan, that car is so rare—only a handful of people in the country have one. If we investigate who owns them, we could figure out who’s backing Natalie."

Ivan remained silent, his focus on the road, but his thoughts were tangled in the same direction. He wanted answers too.

First, there was that absurdly expensive red heart stone, and now this car, which was even more extravagant. Both were nearly unattainable for most wealthy people. Whoever owned such items had to possess immeasurable wealth and influence—someone no one would dare cross.

If such a person truly supported Natalie, anyone who went against her would undoubtedly face severe consequences.

Briena interrupted his thoughts. "Are you going to look into who owns that car?"

Ivan glanced at her, his expression serious. "I want you to stay away from Natalie and anything related to her. Focus on your movie and give it your best. That’s all you need to worry about."

Briena quieted down briefly before speaking in a hesitant tone. "Don’t take this the wrong way. I just want to make sure she isn’t involved with someone dangerous or being blackmailed into something. Think about it—why would such a wealthy person back her without having their own interests in mind? People like that can be dangerous. I’m just worried about her as her sister. What if her gigolo husband has pulled her into something shady and he must be the one to introduce her to that wealthy person?"
