Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Not A Chance In Hell

After Sephina hung up the call, Clara asked, "Is she coming, Mother?"

Sephina nodded. "Yes. Let's see who she has married."

"Grandma, I remember the name of her husband," Briena chimed in. "I searched for him, and there's no one special with that name. All are ordinary men. That means she didn't marry anyone significant but just a random man."

"That's better. This way, it will be easier to get our hands on the entire company."

"Ivan will be here as well."

"Why did you call him here?" Clara asked. "To maintain your good image, you shouldn't show our family conflicts to him."

"Mother, I want him to see how pathetic the woman he loves is and how she has been nothing but trouble to us."

"Do as you wish," Sephina encouraged.

Natalie arrived at the Ford residence in a cab. The moment she entered the huge iron gate, the servants spotted her and started gossiping in hushed voices, but she paid them no mind.

This house, if not for her mother's memories attached to it, would have been a place she would never step into again. These people had sent her away to a far-off place with the intention of making her suffer and live at their mercy. After her mother's death, this so-called family of hers saw her as nothing but an eyesore. The only reason she tolerated them was that she still thought of them as family.

Entering the drawing room, Natalie saw her family waiting for her.

"Where is your husband?" Sephina asked, her gaze shifting to the door behind Natalie.

"He didn't come," Natalie replied, showing no interest in the conversation.

Sephina offered her a cold, impatient gaze. "Didn't I tell you to bring him as well?"

"And didn't I tell you I do not know him?" Natalie maintained her calm, as if her grandmother's words could no longer affect her. The memory of how they had all wanted to throw her out last night, without considering where she would go in the dark, and without showing an ounce of trust or mercy, was still fresh in her mind. She had had enough of them.

The older woman sighed in annoyance. "Is he so pathetic that you do not want us to see him?"

"You could say that."

Natalie had no will to argue. They wouldn't trust her anyway. All she wanted was to gather her few belongings and leave.

"Even after what you did, you have no shame, do you?" Sephina asked, standing up. "After sending you to a faraway place for years, I thought you'd learn to behave, but it seems you've only gotten worse."

Natalie stood her ground, a stubborn and defiant air surrounding her. "Are you just now realizing it, when it's already been two years since I came back from that hellhole?"
