Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399: You Have Another Sibling

Back to the Present

"That one month I spent with you while training you, I could say you were definitely the next underworld Lord...." Aeldric gave out a deep sigh. "Only if your parents had not tried to fool me and take you two away from me, today would have been a different picture. You two brothers would have been ruling the mafia world, Alexander would have been alive, and that woman would have been dead instead."

"Just because they tried to take away your grandson, you decided to kill us all. That seems like you," Justin countered, not surprised by it.

"That’s the regret I have—that I couldn’t do it with my own hands," Aeldric said as he sneered. "Instead, my enemies reached you all first and did it. How embarrassing it is to be defeated by your own enemies like this—and your father and that woman caused me that embarrassment.

"They gave my enemies a chance to hurt my family—who no one would ever dare look at—and they even let them succeed. That woman was weak, but Alexander was trained and could defeat people. It’s that woman who caused his death. He died to protect her. That fool of a son. What was the need to die for mere woman when he could get another one if he had stayed alive? Not only did he die, he even failed to protect my grandsons."

Justin understood that what happened in the past and what led him to drift away from his family was not caused by this old man. If he had done it, he would have said it with pride instead of lying.

He summarised it: his parents tried to run away with the two kids, and their enemies got the news. The enemies came after them and killed his father. His mother somehow survived, and the two kids were thrown into the stormy sea.

Now the question was—who was that enemy who dared to harm the family of the underworld lord? Must be someone not to be taken lightly. Or perhaps someone close who betrayed the Riverdale family.

Whoever it was, Justin was sure he would find them and punish everyone who was involved.

This old man? He would make him pay as well—but later. Keeping him alive was important.

"Well, that was a good story," Justin commented. "If you are done, you may leave."

Aeldric looked at the unaffected man and said, "I am giving you some time to think, but the result should be you coming back to me like a good boy. Or..." Aeldric smirked, "Just like your father, you have a weakness as well. Don’t make me use it against you."

Justin’s gaze turned dark. "I dare you to try."

The old man chuckled. "I love challenges, Aiden." He stood up. "Soon, I will see you at the Riverdale estate."

Justin watched him leave, but the old man stopped at the door and turned to look at him."There is another reason I allowed that woman to live."

Justin knew Aeldric was talking about his mother, Serena.

"When she was taken to the hospital by my people after that incident, the doctor said she was expecting another child," Aeldric said. "I knew it was Alexander’s—as my son wouldn’t be cuckolded. So, instead of making her suffer to cause my son’s and grandkids’ deaths, I made the doctor save her so I could have another grandchild, in case you two brothers were dead."

Justin simply looked at the man, not giving out his thoughts.

"So, that means, you have another sibling, my boy," Aeldric added.

[That bastard came to me today with this.]

[That’s our mother. I’m coming there.]
