Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Decision For Meira

Now that only the family was left, Mallory came to her father’s side and glared at Meira and Noah. "This girl ruined our image. She needs to be taught a lesson."

Noah stood like a wall in front of Meira as he said coldly, "She is my wife now, and I won’t stand by quietly if you plan to teach her a lesson."

Natalie raised a brow in astonishment at how protective Noah was being toward the little girl.

"She is a daughter of our family," Mallory said.

"Not anymore," Noah countered. He didn’t wait for Justin to even step in. If she was married to him, he had to take a stand.

"We don’t accept you in our family," Mallory spat out.

"I don’t need it either," he replied.

Meira, hiding behind him, didn’t dare come out, feeling completely protected behind this man.

"Keep quiet, Mallory," Marina said as she walked toward them. "Meira can marry whoever she wants. No one should force her." She then turned to Noah. "Meira, come out."

Meira stepped out slowly and looked at the old woman.

"You chose Noah. I’m happy for you. You have my blessings," Marina said.

Meira didn’t know what to say at the remark about her choosing Noah. That hadn’t exactly been the case.

"Thank you, Ms. Marina," Noah said on Meira’s behalf.

Justin looked at Aeldric, who could only swallow his anger. "Want to say anything else, old man?"

Aeldric glared at him and walked away. Mallory and Grace left as well.

Marina looked at Justin. "You should have told me about it. I was so nervous for my girl."

"I’m sorry," he replied.

"Now that they are married, what do you plan for them?" Marina asked.

"I’m sending both of them back to Imperial City. It’s not good for Meira to stay here. Now that she’s married and everyone knows about it, she’s free to go with Noah—and the old man won’t stop her," Justin added.

"That was a good decision. Now he won’t dare use Meira against you."

All of them left the event hall. Soon, Noah and Meira were ready to leave for Imperial City.

Before leaving, Noah and Justin had a moment alone.

"Mr. Handrix, I would have liked to stay here and work with you," Noah said. "I am, after all, your assistant."

"Don’t worry. Even in your absence, I can handle everything here. You just go and help Meira settle there. That’s the best thing you can do for me at this moment," Justin replied. "Take care of her."

Noah hummed in response, and Justin handed him an envelope.

Noah opened it and heard Justin say, "From now on, you’re the branch head of NextEra in Imperial City."
