Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207: No Amount Of Money Compares To My Wife

Just then, Noah’s phone rang. After answering the call, he said, "Yes, I’ll inform Mr. Harper."

"What is it about?" Justin’s voice cut through the space as the partition between the front and back seats began to lower.

Noah didn’t dare turn to look behind but replied, "The gift you arranged for Mr. Steve Davis will be delivered today."

Justin, still focused on fixing Natalie’s disheveled hair with his fingers, responded casually, "Good."

Natalie glanced at him. "A gift for Steve Davis?"

Justin finished setting her hair and finally leaned back. "He helped my wife when she was in trouble, so he deserves a proper gift. Besides, I don’t like owing anyone."

Natalie nodded, understanding his reasoning but feeling curious. "What kind of gift?"

"The land he’s been wanting to acquire but found difficult to obtain," Justin answered smoothly.

Natalie’s eyes widened slightly. If it was difficult for someone as influential as Steve Davis to secure, it had to be an extraordinary acquisition.

"That... must have cost a lot," she said hesitantly.

"No amount of money compares to my precious wife," Justin replied, his gaze steady as he met her eyes. "Don’t worry about it."

She hummed softly, touched by his words, and sat quietly for the rest of the drive.

Justin dropped her to her office where Natalie handed over her responsibilities to Ella and Dan, explaining her schedule and informing them of her upcoming absence. Once everything was in order, she left with Justin.

Their destination turned out to be the same place where Justin had previously met his lookalike. Several cars were already waiting for them.

As Justin and Natalie stepped out of the car, she looked around, frowning slightly. "This doesn’t look like a hospital," she said.

Justin hummed and said, "From here, we have to follow the instructions given by the other party and proceed to the designated location."

Natalie gave him a puzzled look, but he added calmly, "Don’t worry. You’ll be fine."

Leo, Aiden Shaw’s assistant, approached them. "Ms. Natalie, please come with us."

Justin offered Natalie an assuring gaze, and she walked ahead. She wasn’t scared, but questions swirled in her mind about the secrecy surrounding the situation.

As Natalie sat in the car, Justin moved to join her, but—

"Sir, only Ms. Natalie," Leo said hesitantly. "We’ve been instructed—"

"Dare to stop me, and none of us will leave here," Justin cut him off coldly, his icy gaze piercing. "I go wherever my wife goes. Inform your boss and let me know if he wants this to proceed his way or not."

Leo immediately made a call, relaying Justin’s words. By the time he hung up, Justin was already seated in the car beside Natalie. Without another word, Leo got into his own car, and Justin and Natalie’s car followed behind.

Back at the parking area, Noah, the driver, Ryan, and John—who had stepped out of their trailing car—watched them leave.

"None of us are allowed to follow," Noah said with a sigh.

"Don’t worry," Ryan replied. "If Mr. Harper decided to risk it, that means he’s confident everything will be fine."

"He’d never put Ms. Natalie’s life in danger," John added firmly. "He knows exactly what he’s doing."

"So much trust in your former boss, even after being fired," Ryan teased with a smirk.

John shot him a glare. "Careful, or you might be next."

"How are you now?" Noah asked. He hadn’t had the chance to talk to John much since John was no longer officially part of their team and interactions were restricted.

"I’m fine," John replied tersely.

"Touch his back, and you’ll see how fine he is," Ryan said with a smirk before giving John’s back a strong pat.

"You asshole," John cursed, his face pale from the sudden pain.

Ryan grinned, unfazed, and looked at Noah. "See?"

At Steve Davis’s Office

’Offering something so priceless just because I helped her—who exactly has she married?’ Steve couldn’t help but wonder.
