Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 226: Enemies After Natalie

When Justin heard her mumbling, he responded, "Because this place belongs to some BusyBaron." Without warning, he lifted her into his arms effortlessly.

Natalie, startled, instinctively circled her arms around his neck and stared at him in shock. "So... you’re the BusyBaron?"

"Who else do you think has the power to buy the most expensive property in the city, right under the noses of all those wealthy families in the city fighting over it?" Justin replied, his tone smug. "At that someone new and mysterious from other city. Must be none other than Justin Harper."

Natalie nearly rolled her eyes at his blatant narcissism, but at the same time, she felt foolish for not piecing it together sooner. She had heard the buzz about someone from outside the city purchasing the property, a move that had bruised the pride of the city’s elite families.

The mystery buyer’s identity had remained a secret, and while she’d even worked on the property’s interiors, she had been too caught up in her own matters to suspect Justin.

As he carried her through the grand doors of the residence, she asked, "So you knew it was me you were talking to in emails? That I’m Carlie?"

"Not at first," he admitted casually. "But after I moved into your home, I saw what you were working on and figured it out."

"Why didn’t you tell me?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.

"At first, I thought you didn’t want to reveal your identity as Carlie," he explained. "Later, I found it amusing to keep emailing you without you knowing."

"So that night when I was sending emails to BusyBaron, you were sitting right in front me, replying to my emails?" She asked, frowning that she was played by this man.

"I must admit, it was amusing," he replied with a chuckle.
