Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 376

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.

Natalie—once an ordinary CEO of a rising company—had become the wife of the richest CEO, the princess of a kingdom, and now, the Global CEO of one of the largest business empires across the globe.

How did things end up this way?

Why was her life so good?

The Fords and the Browns didn’t even know how to breathe anymore.

All they could see in front of them were the biggest losses they had ever faced in their lives.

Their enemy—Natalie—was now sitting at the top of the pyramid they had all desperately tried to climb.

That day, after dinner, when James and Justin had a long talk in the study, it was about this very matter.

James didn’t mind if Justin continued to handle the Harper Group and served as the Global CEO while also running his own company.

But Justin didn’t want that. He had made his intentions clear—he wished to revoke the adoption and live as Aiden Handrix.

James had always known that once Justin began building his own company and repaid what he believed he owed, he would want to go his own way. Yet, James still considered him the rightful candidate to lead the Harper Group. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

Eventually, both father and son came to the same conclusion—that Natalie would be the one.

Not just because she was James’ biological daughter, but because she had proven her capabilities time and again. With her title as a princess as well, none of the board directors opposed James’ decision.
