Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 352: James’ Declaration

Julia was also surprised to see this latest piece of news.

James, who had returned home after being away for a while, after having a breakfast with her, decided to accompany his overly excited mother, even though all he did was work in his study.

The door of his study suddenly opened as Julia barged in, clearly shocked. "James, do you even know who your daughter’s husband is?"

James simply looked at her. If Natalie was with Justin, he had no reason to meddle in his daughter’s life. Knowing Justin well, he was sure Natalie would end up with him in the end.

Julia placed her mobile on his table and said, "Read the news."

James glanced at the screen and saw the title: CEO of NextEra. Then, as if it were nothing to be bothered about, his expression softened, and he looked back at his file.

"What?!" Julia exclaimed at his calmness. "Aren’t you going to say anything?" she asked in a confrontational tone. "If her husband is someone like this CEO, then..." she mumbled under her breath, barely audible, "...what will happen to my Justin?"

James gently set his file aside, stood up, and guided his mother to sit in the chair. Then he poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. "Have some water and calm down first. The doctor told you to stay calm, or your blood pressure might spike."

Julia obediently drank the water and took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

"Do you even know what kind of person this CEO is? There’s no information about him," Julia continued, still agitated, blurting out every anxious thought that came to mind. "He’s never shown himself, so there must be something wrong with him. Maybe he’s ugly! Natalie is beautiful and now a princess. If he’s her husband and he’s not a good person, he might make it difficult for her to get a divorce."

"Why do you want her to divorce him?" James asked, settling back into his chair, his demeanor calm.
