Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: A Protective Husband

Wife?

Everyone in the room froze, stunned by what the man had addresses Natalie as.

His commanding presence, the intimidating aura he exuded, along with that tall and handsome appearance of his with those devilishly sharp features, left them speechless and staring at him.

Albert’s heart swelled with delight, seeing Justin protect Natalie like a true husband should. His protective and unwavering attitude, made Albert realize just how much he cared for her.

Natalie, too, looked at Justin in surprise, disbelief written across her face.

Wife? He had called her his wife. But more than that, she was overwhelmed by the fact that, for the first time, someone had stood by her side, shielding her from harm.

Justin released Jay’s hand with a warning, his voice cold and firm. "This will be the last time you do something like this."

Jay rubbed his wrist, wincing from the pressure Justin had applied, as if he’d wanted to crush it completely.

Justin turned to Natalie, his gaze softening slightly when he saw the tears brimming in her eyes. He gently wiped them away and said, "You’re fearless, like a tigress when you face the world. But why do you allow yourself to be so helpless in front of your family and let them hurt you?"

Natalie didn’t know how to respond. Whatever this man was doing, touched her deeply in a way she hadn’t expected.

Justin continued, his voice still firm but filled with a strange warmth. "Do whatever you want with others, but you’re not allowed to let yourself be hurt. Even if you killed someone, you’d better come out of it unharmed—or I’ll be the one to punish you."

What? Everyone almost screamed in their minds at what this man was talking about. Kill someone? Was it that normal for him to allow his own wife to do so?

Natalie simply hummed, knowing that someone like Justin Harper could easily say such words—after all, power speaks for itself.

"You’re her husband?" Sephina finally stepped forward, scrutinizing the man before her.

Justin met her gaze without flinching. "I don’t find it necessary to repeat the obvious."

Justin has seen even before how this woman had treated Natalie and made a mental note that he didn’t have to be polite with her either. Moreover, Natalie didn’t truly have blood ties with them, so he didn’t have to consider them as her family. They were simply nobodies.

"And this is how you talk to your wife’s family the first time you meet them?" Sephina’s voice rose with indignation.

"Considering this is her family, I’m being as polite as I can be," Justin replied, his gaze darkening. "If it had been anyone else raising a hand to her, they’d likely be crippled by now."

Jay’s anger flared. "You—are you threatening me?"

John, standing just outside the room, shook his head helplessly. Thug? Such an insult to his dangerously powerful boss—the devil himself. If only they knew who they were dealing with, it would feel like the sky was falling on their heads.

They’re lucky they’re Ms. Natalie’s family.’

"That’s because Briena never makes mistakes! She’s always the victim of schemes orchestrated by this wretch. She even caused Briena’s accident, almost costing her Piano career." Sephina’s anger flared as she turned to Justin. "You have no idea how despicable your wife really is. If you knew—"
