Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 376: The New Global CEO

"You all heard me right," Justin said, addressing the stunned crowd. "I am that adopted boy and that kind businessman is James Harper. I am Justin Harper, James Harper’s adopted son. But from today onwards, I am giving up that identity. I will live as Aiden Handrix—the CEO of NextEra Corp—which I have always wished to do. That also mean I am giving up on being the global CEO of the Harper group."

The hall fell silent at his clear, powerful declaration.

The Fords and Browns were once again thrown into complete shock, unable to process what had just been revealed.

If any last shred of hope had remained clinging to the illusion of Justin Harper, it had now been completely destroyed.

There was no Justin Harper anymore.

Justin stepped aside from the dais, and James Harper took his place.

"You all must be surprised, but that’s the truth," James stated, composed yet proud. "The truth is—I have always been proud of my son, Justin, for being so incredible. Though he is now going to assume his true identity, Aiden Handrix—for me, he will always be family. He will always be a Harper. My son."

Justin returned to Natalie’s side. She reached for his hand and offered him a warm, supportive smile.

Finally, Justin could do what he had always wanted—live on his own terms, without carrying the burden of gratitude, without needing to wear a name that was not originally his.

He was Aiden Handrix. And now, the world knew.

"You all must be wondering now who would be the new Global CEO of the Harper Group," James said, his words silencing the entire hall.

"With the unanimous decision from the Harper Group board members, I announce Natalie Harper as the new Global CEO of the Harper Group."

For most, it didn’t come as a shock—after all, she was James’ daughter.

But for a few certain people... they were just a breath away from having heart attacks.
