Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 440: Plan For Meira

"Jallen, what are you doing here?" Marina asked as she looked at the old man and his family.

"Marina, good to see you after so long," the old man said, smiling heartily. "Didn’t Aeldric tell you what we’re here for?"

Marina looked at Aeldric, only to hear him say, "It was a surprise for you."

Marina felt confused, only to hear Aeldric again. "Do you remember what we used to talk about in the past—that we should tie our friendship with a relationship? Back then it didn’t happen, but now we can have our granddaughter marry Jallen’s grandson and fulfill that promise."

It shocked her. She had just met her granddaughter, and this man was already trying to take her away from her. She knew—she already knew—he could only plan to take her happiness away.

"It can’t be," Marina said. "I just met her, and she is too young to get married off."

"She is of age, and Jallen’s grandson is only two years older than her," Aeldric said.

"Yes, Marina," Jallen added. "Don’t worry about Meira. We’ll keep her as our own daughter. And we’re in the same city, so you can meet her whenever you want."

Marina wanted to deny it strongly, but Aeldric looked at her and said, "I’m sure Meira’s mother wants to see her daughter living well. If you want, I can send my people to bring her here."

Marina understood the threat in his voice. He was threatening her with Serena’s life.

Meira stood there in shock at what was happening. She was going to get married? She turned to look at Noah, who was standing two steps behind her. Other than him, there was no one she could look to for support, as Justin was not there yet.

Noah simply looked at her but said nothing, quietly holding the mobile in his hand. The call was ongoing—Justin was listening to everything while on his way.
