Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 352

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.

"We don’t know what kind of person he is," Julia said, her mind filled with worry for Justin. "We should make her marry someone we know and trust. A good man... someone close to us..."

"Who do you have in mind?" James asked.

"I don’t want to hand over my only granddaughter to some mysterious stranger. I just hope the man she’s with is someone who will protect and care for her," she added carefully. "Someone like you or... umm... someone like Justin would be right for her. No less than that."

"Then your wish is granted," James said.

"What do you mean?" Julia asked, her gaze sharp, trying to read her son’s expression.

"That CEO is none other than Justin," James said directly, only to hear his mother exclaim in another wave of shock, "What?!"

He hummed and casually resumed his work. "Justin is not my biological son. So it’s fine if he marries Natalie. I hope you don’t have any objections. Even if you do, you know Justin well—he does what he wants."

Julia slowly came out of her shock. "Why would I mind? In fact, I already knew they were together. I was just worried you wouldn’t approve. But it seems like I was overthinking."

James looked at his mother, shaking his head in disbelief. Here he was, worrying that she wouldn’t approve, but she looked more excited than anyone.

"James, after we bring Natalie home, she will officially be your daughter—a Harper. Since she’s already married to him, what about Justin?" Julia asked.

Unbothered, James responded, "Justin never planned to be dependent on me or the Harper family. Let him do what he feels is right." After a brief pause, considering a few things, he added, "He’s probably going to fully assume his identity as the CEO of NextEra."
