Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 300: Hurt

"On your wedding day, Ivan must have felt relieved that you were already married and quickly jumped ship," Briena added mockingly. "By that time, his company was stable, thanks to all your efforts, and he didn’t need to depend on Grandpa’s deal anymore. Moreover, by marrying me, Ivan knows he’ll eventually get control of the Ford Group through me. After all, Grandma dotes on me. He must have realized Grandma was planning to hand over the entire company to me because she hates you. Why would he waste his life with you and your mere shares when he could have the entire company by marrying me?"

"He loves me as well," Briena replied, offering them a meaningful gaze. "We’re closer than you can imagine. I’m sure Ivan didn’t even kiss your friend during their two years of dating. Isn’t that pathetic? How repulsive Natalie must have been in his eyes while he couldn’t wait to get into my bed."

"If you’re done sharing such confidential information, you can leave," Natalie said in a mocking tone. "No need to tell us what kind of slut you are."

Briena chuckled, unaffected. "I know you’re pretending it doesn’t bother you, but I’m sure the truth has hurt you. Your grandpa deceived you and led you to the wrong person. The man you thought cared for and loved you was just using you as a stepping stone to power and wealth."

an hour later, a fast-moving luxury car stopped in front of the gates of the church on the hillside. Picking up a water bottle from the car, Justin stepped out, where Ryan was waiting for him. Ryan led Justin toward the garden of the church, where a lonely figure sat on a bench, staring blankly
