Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother - Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Justin’s Speculations Chapter 255: Justin’s Speculations Aiden remained calm, like an unshakable mountain.

He pulled out another set of medicines, and she did the same again-knocking them out of his hand.

He repeated the action, and once more, she repeated it.

This went on for four to five rounds.

Aiden didn’t give up, but eventually, she did, clenching her fists in frustration.

Aiden’s calmness and unaffected behavior always angered her more.

He looked at her angry face and said, “If you get angry, your immunity will lower, and it will only prolong your stay here.

Take a deep breath and calm down.” Vincent, who was watching all this through the glass wall, was stunned at the unbelievable patience Aiden showed and thought, Not just my sweetheart-even her mother is the same.

It reminds me of the time with Natalie after I saved her from the traffickers.

These mother-daughter duos are truly a handful.

Caryn closed her eyes, finding Aiden’s calmness unbearable.

Every day, Aiden had to come up with something new to make her take her medicine.

“If you’re that bored, why don’t you watch some interesting news from this city instead of waiting for me to show up, just so you can vent your anger and stave off boredom?” Caryn’s brows furrowed further in annoyance, clearly uninterested.

“Hmm, where shall I start?” Not waiting for her reply, he continued, “The latest interesting event would be better.

Yesterday, a perfumer was accused of plagiarism during a launch event.

In front of the entire world, that brave perfumer proved herself innocent, and I must say, she was truly impressive.” He paused, as if trying to remember something.

“What was her name again?

Right-Natalie Ford.” The moment he said the name, Caryn opened her eyes.

“If you take this medicine, I will arrange for you to watch it directly.

You’ll find it more interesting than a movie,” he said, offering her the medicine as if he were certain she would agree now.

She took the tiny cup of tablets from his hand and had her medicine.

Aiden began preparing the injection, focused on the task at hand as he spoke.

“She reminded me of the days when I used to watch you prepare perfumes.

She is indeed skilled.” Caryn listened intently, as if trying to absorb every word he was saying about her daughter.

Aiden continued describing the event, starting from how Faye accused Natalie.

Meanwhile, he gently held Caryn’s hand to give her the injection.

She was so engrossed in hearing him talk about Natalie that she didn’t even notice when Aiden had already injected the syringe into her delicate skin.

“…Later, they decided to prepare the perfume live in front of everyone, and…

done,” Aiden said, finishing as he put the syringe away.

Caryn looked at him, clearly expecting him to continue, but he said, “The rest of the story, I’ll tell you during the next dose of medicine.” His words angered her.

How could he leave her hanging like this, especially about her own daughter?

Aiden adjusted her bed to a straight position and said, “Sleep well.” Just as Aiden turned to leave, he heard her speak.

“Since when have you known she’s my daughter?” Aiden wasn’t surprised by the question and replied without turning to face her.

“Since the time when I shouldn’t have known about it.” “Eric told you?” she asked again.

“I found out on my own,” he replied.

“I want to know about her,” she said.

“I want to know who she is married to.” Aiden, still with his back to her, allowed a flicker of reaction to pass over his otherwise steady demeanour, but he kept his composure.

“I will tell you everything about her when you finish your treatment quietly.” Anger overtook her as she clenched her fists, clearly frustrated by the isolation, which felt worse than being a prisoner.

“Just let me out of here, and I’ll find out myself.

You’re just useless.” He turned to look at her.

“If you step out of this isolation, you’ll be more useless than me.

You won’t live even a day longer, let alone find out about her.” Caryn gritted her teeth and said, “I want to meet Eric.” “Only once,” Aiden replied and walked out.

She breathed shakily and said, “Now you want to control who I meet.

Eric is my person, not yours.” “Allowing more people here, can cause you infection, especially when Eric mostly stays outside to take care of other matters.

Once you are out of here, you can have Eric by your side all day,” with that he stepped out and the nurse zipped the entrance to the isolation area closed.

—– While Natalie was sleeping soundly, Justin was in his study.

“Any update on Vincent and Aiden Shaw’s meeting?” “Not yet,” Noah replied, then asked, “Mr.

Harper, do you trust Vincent enough to send him to Aiden Shaw and tell him about Caryn Ford?” Justin scoffed and looked at Noah.

“Let’s start from the beginning,” he said, turning his chair to face the glass window behind him to look outside.

“Caryn Shaw faked her death to hide herself and protect her daughter from her enemies.

If she could go to such lengths for her precious daughter, do you think she wasn’t aware when Natalie was sent to Xyros City?

Would she leave her daughter to die in such a dangerous place?” “Of course not,” Noah replied.

“Caryn Shaw still holds power in her hands.

She would try to protect her daughter€¦” “While living in another country and restricting herself from any contact with her daughter, how would she do it?” Justin interrupted.

“Especially in a place like Xyros, which has no tolerance for outsiders.” Noah finally realized.

“She would ask someone powerful in Xyros City to protect her daughter.

Then Vincent€¦” “Not Vincent,” Justin corrected.

“Caryn must have known Vincent’s father.

She must have asked him to protect Natalie, and he put his son, Vincent, on the job.

Instead of Xyros being a dangerous place, Caryn turned it into the safest place for her daughter, where a powerful mafia could protect her from enemies-and they did.” Noah looked at Justin in slight disbelief, once again marvelling at how his boss’s mind worked.

Justin only needed to sit in his chair and think, while others executed the tasks.

Noah thought, It’s best this way when he only uses his brain.

I don’t want to see him getting into action anymore.

My heart can’t bear witnessing his cruel side.
