Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Justin Meeting Caryn

On the way to the hospital to meet Caryn, inside the car, Noah said, "Mr Harper, our people have discovered the things finally."

"Better be something useful, or all of them better shoot themselves than being useless," Justin said coldly.

’They are already working hard enough, risking their lives and are more efficient than any secret forces in the world, but their cruel boss simply can’t wait for them to die even at the slightest delay,’ Noah sighed inwardly.

"We already got the clues that those assassins from the Dark Shadows were hired by someone in Belvorn. Now we know that someone, though it was too difficult, our people got all the information from Belvorn," Noah said as he tried to praise the ones who worked hard facing all the danger.

He passed the tablet to Justin, which he accepted and said coldly, "They are trained to work quickly, or I would be just wasting my resources on trash."

Noah could only frown at how Justin was in a mood of being mean and sarcastic today, ’Did he just eat something bitter today or had a fight with Ms Natalie? Oh, or he must be nervous to meet his mother-in-law for the first time and hiding behind his coldness,’ and then saw what his boss was looking at and started to explain as the dutiful assistant he was.

"These are the pictures of Belvorn Royal family members from old to present times. As you asked to find the relationship between that family and Ms Natalie and her mother, you can see it here."

Justin raised a brow and then his gaze stopped at the particular picture on the tablet, a picture of a young girl around the age of six or seven.

Noah continued. "In the Belvorn royal family, around four decades ago the only daughter of the queen, princess Carmen, went missing on her seventh birthday. They couldn’t find her for long, only to find a dead body which was beyond recognition. But DNA samples confirmed it was the princess’s dead body.

"It’s the country that’s ruled by a queen, only the queen’s daughter can take her place, but this princess was dead. There was no other daughter the queen had, so the next princess would be the Queen’s brother’s grand-daugther, as he didn’t have a daughter either. Soon they will be having a coronation ceremony for that princess once she turns twenty five."

Justin was still stuck at the picture when he looked at Noah after hearing it. "This young girl."

"Yes, Mr Harper, this is Caryn Shaw’s childhood picture and she is that lost princess Carmen from Belvorn royal family," Noah confirmed Justin’s thoughts. "These attacks have seemed to be made by someone from the royal family, and I am sure we can guess who it could be."

"Queen’s brother who still finds Caryn and her daughter as a threat and think if they are found, his dream of getting power in is hands by making his granddaughter take Queen’s place would be ruined," Justin added, "he must be the one to make young princess Carmen disappear on her birthday and plant her fake dead body. Later he seems to have found Caryn and has been trying to get rid of her for a long time, but Caryn is not an easy target either."

"Yes, Mr Harper, and that man already holds the power over that country and can resort to anything to get rid of what may come in his way," Noah added, "he is not a simple person. The one who can hire Dark Shadow, is definitely not to be taken lightly.

Justin scoffed mockingly as his lips curved into an evil smile and he leaned back in chair. "I want my Natalie to just live a peaceful life by my side, but it seems like some bastard won’t behave unless I truly make his fear come true, and then sacrifice him as the celebration gesture of my woman being a princess."

Noah could see through his Devil’s boss’s plan. ’I thought after returning here, all those things are left behind. Seems like I was wrong. Is it the time to see the bloodshed once more.’

Noah understood what Justin must have in his mind but said, "All these years, Ms Caryn Shaw kept herself and Ms Natalie hidden, that means she has no interest in going back and taking her place."

"Whether she wants it or not, doesn’t concern me," Justin said coldly, "But that man tried to harm my woman for no reason, so he has to pay by losing everything he has and then with his life."

Noah thought about it and said, "He anyway is trying to harm her, so better get rid of them already."

"Finally you are growing some good quality brain cells," Justin commented.

Noah observed the sudden change in Justin. Now he clearly looked more than just willing to meet Caryn, but he was still not sure if it was as Justin Harper or Aiden Handrix or another of his identities.

They reached the hospital. Justin was led to Caryn’s room where Eric was already inside, waiting for him along with Caryn. Noah had to stay outside.

The moment Justin entered the room, Caryn’s eyes observed him. Though in Hospital suit and had a mask over his face, the distinctive aura around him was unmistakable.

Justin watched the weak looking woman sitting at the hospital bed, behind the thin film of plastic curtains. Though the lower half of her face was covered, he could feel the familiarity with her. Her eye’s devoid of any emotions, scrutinizing him, reminded him of Natalie when she acted this way with her enemies.
