Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother - Chapter 250
Chapter 250: Truce With Vincent Chapter 250: Truce With Vincent Meanwhile, Justin was in his study, attending a video conference meeting to avoid disturbing Natalie’s rest.
Once the meeting concluded, Noah informed him, “Mr.
Harper, as per your instructions, Mr.
Vincent is scheduled to meet Mr.
Aiden Shaw.” Justin hummed and leaned back in his chair, his thoughts drifting to the conversation he had with Vincent the previous day.
Together, they had reached several conclusions about the mysterious individuals who had been targeting Natalie for years, forcing Vincent to step in and protect her.
“I’m not entirely sure who is behind this, but I know they’re very powerful,” Vincent had told him.
“My people failed to identify them because these individuals prefer death over capture.
They’re highly trained and don’t hesitate to take their own lives.
They leave no clues behind.” “When was the first time you protected her from an attack by these people?” Justin asked.
“I have some information of my own.
If we combine it, we might find something.” Vincent studied him for a moment before smirking.
“So, is this a truce?” “If it weren’t for Natalie, you’d probably be dead by now, let alone discussing a truce,” Justin replied coldly.
“Now, don’t waste my time.
Talk about something serious.” Vincent didn’t let go of his smug demeanor so easily.
“Now that I know the real Aiden Handrix-or Shaw-is sitting in the hospital, who exactly are you?” Justin met his gaze, unflinching, as Vincent continued.
“If I wanted to, I could find out who you really are.
But considering we’re dealing with more pressing matters than your true identity, you might as well save me the time.” There was a brief silence before Justin finally said, “Justin Harper.” If it had been anyone else to whom Justin revealed his identity, they might have been shocked.
But Vincent merely smirked, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest.
“My darling didn’t end up with a loser, at least,” he said with a wicked smirk that quickly vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
“Well then, Justin Harper, let’s talk about something serious, as you said.” Justin hummed, signaling him to continue, consciously ignoring how Vincent called Natalie ‘Darling’ once again.
He wold make him pay for it later. “It was just a few months after she arrived in Xyros City,” Vincent said.
“She still doesn’t know those attacks were directed at her.
She thought they were meant for me.
But those weren’t ordinary attacks; they were meticulously planned, designed to kill their target at any cost.” “Why would someone want to kill a powerless girl for no apparent reason?
Unless she poses a threat to something really significant and her existence is a threat to them,” Justin commented.
“Any idea where they came from?” Justin asked, as Vincent was the only one who had dealt those people till now.” Vincent shook is head.
“Aiden Handrix or Aiden Shaw,” Vincent said thoughtfully.
“I wonder what his connection to Natalie is.
Why is he also trying to protect her?” Justin considered this for a moment before replying, “Natalie’s mother-she’s the one Aiden Shaw is looking after.” At this, Vincent fell into a sudden silence, his expression shifting from shock to deep contemplation as he processed the revelation.

“A few days ago, someone attempted to kill her mother as well,” Justin continued.
“We can safely conclude that it’s the same people targeting both mother and daughter.” “Then Aiden Shaw must know who those bastards are,” Vincent said.
“Then go and ask him,” Justin said.
“I was going to him only, if not for wasting my time here with you and getting no clue at all,” Vincent commented. “Protecting her for so many years, still you don’t know who they are, you have already wasted a lot time,” Justin commented.
“What a looser!” “Then why don’t you go and ask him, and use your precious time there?” Vincent commented, “Or seeing your lookalike makes you feel like looking into a mirror and makes you aware how ugly you are.” Vincent scoffed mockingly, “what an eyesore.” “Be glad that you are getting some work to do instead of idle around and wasting time,” Justin said as he stood up.
“If he won’t answer, tell him Justin Harper will directly ask that woman once she’s awake and able to talk.
And she will answering directly to my wife.” “No regard for a mother-in-law,” Vincent remarked as he stood.
“You’d better watch your tongue in front of Natalie because she loves her mother.” “You don’t need to remind me of that.” Sitting in his chair, Just was expecting Vincent to be useful in this matter.
Despite his dislike for Vincent-and the irritation that, in Natalie’s darkest times, it was Vincent who had been by her side-Justin knew he had to approach things rationally when it came to her safety.
Vincent had been protecting Natalie, which meant he wasn’t an enemy.
For now, they could align to confront whoever was targeting her.
However, if Vincent ever crossed his boundaries with Natalie, Justin knew he wouldn’t hesitate to make him his enemy-or eliminate him entirely before he even had the chance.
That was the most efficient way Justin had always followed but had to keep his actions in check since he returned to the country. —– In the afternoon, Albert came to visit Natalie.
Justin had arranged a car and driver to bring him to their home.
Natalie had rested enough, but she didn’t want her grandpa to see her current health condition.
With Justin’s permission, she was allowed to come to the drawing room.
However, Justin didn’t let her walk or climb stairs.
He carried her to the drawing room and gently placed her on the sofa before Albert arrived.
When Albert stepped inside, Natalie quickly resumed her usual composed demeanor, ensuring no trace of pain or discomfort showed on her face.
“Grandpa!” she greeted warmly and hugged Albert the moment he entered.
Albert hugged her back, his happiness evident.
Meanwhile, Justin shot Natalie a sharp glare, silently warning her not to move around unnecessarily and to stay seated.
Natalie immediately heeded his warning, helping Albert settle on the sofa before sitting down next to him.
“How are you, Natalie?” Albert asked, his tone tinged with concern.
“I saw the news.” “I’m absolutely fine now that I’ve seen you, Grandpa,” she replied with a reassuring smile.
“This is a nice home,” Albert commented, glancing around appreciatively.
The two continued chatting warmly while Justin sat nearby, quiet but observant.
His gaze shifted toward Albert occasionally, as he had something important to discuss with him.
They had lunch together.
Afterward, when Natalie received a call from her office, she excused herself, leaving Justin and Albert alone.
“Mr.
Ford, I want to ask you something,” Justin said as they settled inside his study.
“What is it?” Albert asked, curious.
“I want to know why Ivan agreed to marry Natalie,” Justin said, his tone serious.
Albert looked at him, slightly taken aback, as if he hadn’t expected such a question.
“I know he didn’t love Natalie or even care for her.
So why did she think so highly of him since they were kids?
And why did Ivan agree to marry her?” Justin added before Albert could deny or evade the question.
Albert took a deep breath and sighed.
“I’ll tell you, but you have to promise me you won’t tell her.” Justin hummed, knowing he won’t tell her, but sooner or later she would know the truth. CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Sera_b17 Next three days I am travelling with my family.
