Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381: How She Got Married

"This made her almost fall for the wrong person," Justin said as he glared at Aaron. The idea of her marrying Ivan Brown almost made his blood boil.

"But I saved her from that, didn’t I? And thanks to me, now you’re with her," Aaron countered. "I wouldn’t mind if you fell at my feet and showed your gratitude."

"Want to lose those legs forever so you can embrace that wheelchair for life?" Justin retorted.

"Wait," Natalie interrupted them, "I have more questions for him. You two brothers can fight with each other once I’m done."

The two stopped, and Natalie turned to Aaron once more. "Why did you do it? I mean—stop me from marrying Ivan?"

"That bastard wanted to use you to gain control over the Ford Group. And the day I came to get your blood sample—to see if you were a match for your mother—I overheard a conversation between Albert Ford and Ivan Brown. That bastard Ivan was asking for all the shares in your name and Albert’s, along with the properties Albert owned. It was truly disgusting. He would have cast you aside once he got everything," Aaron said.

"Hmm, Justin and I talked about it, so it’s truly like that," she concluded, then asked, "How did you get me to the marriage bureau?"

"I didn’t have to," Aaron said. "You never left your office that day, let alone went to the marriage bureau. As for feeling unwell all of a sudden—it was because I had given you a harmless drug that only made you feel unwell for a while, and then you went into a deep sleep.

Getting into that place belonging to Ivan Brown wasn’t a big deal. I’m a tech person—I can pass through any security without being seen. That’s why there’s no evidence of me being there that day.

As for how you got ’married’—I hacked into the system of the marriage bureau and added the record of your marriage. Getting your signatures copied, your signature seal, and your photograph were minor tasks—not even worth mentioning."

Natalie could only listen to it all silently as she asked, "Hacked into such a highly protected government system? You must be so..."

"Wouldn’t be wrong to say I’m one of the best hackers in the world," Aaron added.

"Even better than Q? He’s the best," Natalie asked excitedly.

"Are you his fan?" Aaron asked.

"Yes," she couldn’t hide her admiration.

"I can give you my autograph anytime you want," he replied.

Natalie’s eyes widened in shock. "You... are you Q?"

Aaron hummed, only to have her exclaim, "Oh my God!"

Justin felt annoyed. "Shouldn’t you two talk about more important things?"

Natalie snapped back to her senses as she could feel the coldness radiating from her husband. "Umm... what was I going to ask?"

"You must be thinking why I chose my other ID—Aiden Handrix?" Aaron made it easy for her, smirking at how jealous Justin was.

"Yes, you’re right," she immediately replied, feeling a little nervous under Justin’s gaze.

This man wouldn’t allow her to fangirl over another man. So petty!

Aiden answered, "There was no person with that name in existence other than just that ID, and you wouldn’t have been able to find him ever. That was the reason. Also, I didn’t know my brother—the real Aiden Handrix—was alive."

"So, you planned to keep me married to some non-existent person?" she asked.

"You could’ve filed a report with the police about that person, and not being able to find him for a few years would’ve canceled your marriage anyway," Aaron replied. "Wasting a few years of your life as a married woman was better than letting you marry an idiot and putting you through suffering."

Once again calling Ivan and idiot. Another person in the club. Great!

The biggest idiot was me, in fact, Natalie thought, as she couldn’t believe she had once wanted to marry Ivan Brown and had been ready to do anything for him.

"Thank you for not letting me marry him," she said.

"You don’t need to. I owe you for not correcting you—that those messages were never from Ivan Brown. It was my fault that you were going to end up with him, so I had to correct it," he replied.

Natalie didn’t deny it and simply hummed.

"Thank you for messaging me back then. It was a great support," she said.

"You’re family now. You don’t need to thank me."

"Are you done now?" Justin asked impatiently.

Cough!
