Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 309: James’ Plan

At the Ford Mansion.

Everyone had returned home. The air in the house was heavy, as if someone had died, and everyone was silent. Even the servants didn’t dare to make a sound.

Sephina had locked herself inside her study, while Albert was in his room. Jay, Clara, and Briena were in one room. Jay looked as if his entire world had collapsed, while Briena and Clara were terrified of being kicked out of the house by Sephina.

"Father, don’t be so quiet. Please say something," Briena said anxiously.

"What can I say now?" Jay said helplessly.

"It’s all Caryn’s fault," Clara said. "She’s the one who caused this."

Jay looked at her as he realized something. "What was the need to reveal that Natalie is not my daughter? If you hadn’t done it..."

"Now you blame me?" Clara interrupted him. "That whore bore the child of some other man and fooled you, but you blame me?"

Jay’s anger flared at the thought. He had once liked Caryn—just like every other man had—since she was someone desired by all. It had been a surprise when Caryn had agreed to marry him back then. He had thought himself the luckiest man, but that woman had never loved him. She had been selfish, always focused on her work, and had never given him any face as her husband. If she had been even a little like other wives, he would have always loved her, but...

"Caryn would have revealed it sooner or later anyway. She wants her daughter to take our company. You don’t have to blame me for it," Clara exclaimed.

"Mom, Dad, stop blaming each other. Now, think about how to make Grandma still favor us and not disown us. If that happens, we’ll be left with nothing," Briena said.

"Even if your father is not her blood, he has been filial to her all his life. She won’t just give up on him," Clara added.

"Yes, Father. You have to go and talk to Grandma," Briena urged.

"It’s a shock for her. Let her calm down first," Jay replied, to which the other two nodded reluctantly.
