Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Someone New

After dinner, Justin returned to his penthouse. Aaron, in the Imperial City, was impatient to know what happened when Justin went to the Riverdale estate.

He had been in contact with Noah all along. And the moment he got to know Justin had returned, Aaron made a call.

"There is no word called patience in your dictionary, is there?" Justin commented as he put the cellphone on speaker and started to change clothes.

"If I was not patient, I would have been there at this moment instead of calling you from here," came Aaron’s displeased voice.

"Stop sulking already," Justin commented and explained whatever had happened.

There was a silence on Aaron’s side before he calmly asked about their mother, "Is she alright?"

"Not entirely, but she at least recognised me... as Alex..." Justin replied. "I will arrange some specialists for her soon to start her better treatment."

Aaron hummed and asked, "And that asshole won’t let you see our sister?"

"I have to wait to see what he asks of me in exchange for letting me see her," Justin said. "I’m sure it won’t be anything ordinary."

Both brothers could only be silent for a while, as the game was in Aeldric’s hands at the moment.

Just then, Noah knocked on the door and entered the room. "Mr. Harper, call for you. Mr. Riverdale."

Aaron had heard it as well. "See what he called for."

"You don’t have to tell me that," Justin said and got the cellphone from Noah. He received the call and replied with a simple, "Hum?"

Justin heard what he said and then replied, "I’ll think about it," and hung up the call.

Aaron, still on the speaker, asked, "What did he say?"

"He asked me to attend one gathering he has with the people he knows and attend it as his grandson. After that, he might show me our sister," Justin informed.

"That man can’t be trusted." Aaron added.

"I am the same, just like him," Justin said. "But we have to take chances, even if the girl he shows me might not be our real sister."

"It might lead to at least somewhere."

Both brothers agreed on it.

The next day, Justin received a call from Aeldric again. The old man was truly desperate to get him back home.

"Your sister is back here in the Riverdale estate. You can see her one last time before I send her to the Asteriens," Aeldric’s voice came through. "Think before denying me again. You might regret it later," he said, even before Justin could reply.

"What if I want something else in exchange for making my presence there?" Justin asked.

"What do you want?" Aeldric asked.
