Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 296: I Don’t Care Who You Are

Just then, the emcee took to the stage and said, "I hope you all enjoyed that little show of affection between Ms. Natalie and her husband. That was sweet, wasn’t it?"

Now, everyone understood that the man was Natalie’s husband, and the wild speculations about her having an inappropriate relationship with a wealthy backer came to an end.

The emcee continued, "I know you’ve all been waiting to meet the CEO of NextEra, but unfortunately, he’s busy with something more important and won’t be able to join us tonight."

Disappointment rippled through the crowd as they realized the rare opportunity to see and connect with the elusive, wealthy CEO had slipped away. However, the audience collectively came to a conclusion.

"So that man wasn’t the CEO. He was just Natalie’s husband, here to pick her up."

But at the same time, another wave of curiosity rose in their minds. The man who took away Natalie, her husband, seems to be someone powerful as well. Who was that man? Another mysterious businessman they were not aware of?

Briena felt as though she had swallowed bitterness whole, watching how affectionately Natalie was treated by her husband. Even if he wasn’t Ivan, Natalie still had someone better. Why is her luck so good? That gigolo is no less than any rich man. But... is he really a gigolo, or was I mistaken? If he’s someone rich, I have to make them fall apart. I can’t let Natalie live a life better than mine. Everything best belongs to me—even her husband.

Irene felt the same as she muttered, "How can that bitch get everything after betraying my brother? She deserves nothing but suffering."

Ivan, still in shock, finally snapped out of it. His heart and mind were in turmoil after seeing Natalie and her husband together. She looked genuinely happy with him, even acting like a carefree young girl in love.

He had never seen this side of her before—drunk and cute. The only time he saw her drunk was during her relentless pursuit of investors for his company. She would drink to close deals and suffer the consequences later, but she always smiled, proud of having secured the investments.
