Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother - Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Accident Chapter 307: Accident Natalie returned to her office, where the entire floor was silent after the shocking news about her.

No one dared to make a sound in front of her, unsure of what kind of mood she might be in.

Keeping her usual demeanor, Natalie walked inside her office, where someone was waiting for her-Victor Reid.

She saw him and went to sit in her chair, unfazed by his presence.

She opened her laptop to begin her work while Ella stood by her side, waiting for any instructions.

Victor stood up, picked up two baskets from the center table, and walked over to her.

He placed the baskets on her desk and instructed, “Choose one.” Natalie looked at the baskets with an annoyed gaze.

One contained packs of tissue paper, while the other held an expensive champagne bottle and glasses.

Without hesitation, Natalie pointed toward the champagne bottle and resumed her work.

Ella was confused by what was going on.

What exactly was Victor trying to do?

Shouldn’t he leave her alone or at least try to talk to her as a friend in this situation?

But€¦ Victor casually tossed the other basket aside and picked up the champagne bottle.

“Good that you chose to celebrate over crying.

You look ugly when you cry, and I have little patience for ugly crybabies.” He opened the champagne bottle and poured it into two glasses.

Then, he picked up both glasses, walked to her side of the table, and offered her one while leaning against her desk.

Natalie accepted the glass.

“Cheers to finally not having that pathetic man as your father,” Victor said as they clinked their glasses and emptied them in one go.

Ella blinked a few times, trying to process what was happening.

Victor acting unexpectedly was one thing, but Natalie didn’t look offended at all.

Instead, she went with the flow and drank the champagne without hesitation.

Dan, who had just entered the office, was taken aback by the scene before him.

Victor glanced at the two and said, “You can join in as well-celebrate the fact that your boss doesn’t have that scumbag as her dad.” The two stood there quietly, unsure whether these two were really serious.

“The one who knocked up her mother must be a scumbag as well,” Mia said as she entered the office.

“If not, then her mother would have been with him instead of Jay Ford.” “Well, that’s possible too,” Cathy added.

“Then let’s have another toast-for not having another scumbag in Nat’s life.” Mia and Cathy joined the celebration, while Natalie quietly drank as the other three talked.

She knew they were here to make her feel better.

—— Meanwhile, in Belvorn, inside a black luxury car speeding down the highway, a convoy of vehicles flanked it at the front and rear as part of the security force.

“Father, Carmen came out of hiding.

It seems like she has truly decided to come back,” Garwin anxiously said to his father.

Howard, on the other hand, remained calm.

“What can she do even if she decides to return?

She has no power in her hands or the support of someone powerful like us.

All she can ask for is his death.” “But Father, she is not as easy to deal with as we think, or she would have died long ago,” Garwin added.

“You failed to kill her when she was a child, and now she is smarter.

What if€¦” “Stop worrying for no reason.

I have already planned something.

That mother and daughter won’t make it here,” Howard assured, only to hear a sudden noise from Garwin’s side.

The loud screech of brakes, the crash of heavy vehicles colliding, the shattering of glass, shouts-chaos erupted.

Howard, who was in his study, was left stunned.

“Garwin?

What happened?

Garwin, can you hear me?” No one responded.

Howard quickly hung up the call and stood up from his chair as he instructed his security head, “Something happened to Garwin.

Check his whereabouts.” Just then, Howard’s assistant entered the study.

“Mr.

Everthorn, bad news.

Mr.

Garwin has been in a serious accident.” Howard felt as if the floor beneath his feet had vanished.

“How€¦ How did it happen?” “We are not sure yet.

It just happened.” Howard walked out of his study.

“Take me there.” The accident site was a disaster-a dangerous mess.

Garwin was gravely injured and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Once he was in the doctor’s care and prepared for surgery, Howard finally had a moment to talk about anything else.

“How did it happen?” Howard asked the security team as he sat in the VIP room of the hospital.

“Mr.

Everthorn, we received this,” the security head said, handing a tablet to Howard.

On the screen, a message was displayed: “This is the return of what you caused to my people.

Try to harm them again, and next time you will find yourself with your son and granddaughter.” Howard slammed the tablet down angrily.

“Who is this?

Who dared to enter my territory and harm my son?” “Mr.

Everthorn, there is a symbol at the top of the text,” the head prompted Howard to look at the message again.

A symbol of the Obsidian Crown was at the top: a jagged, black crown with glowing cracks.

“Mr.

Everthorn, this symbol represents only one person,” the security head added.

Howard’s hand shook.

“There must be a mistake.

We have no conflict with them.

Check if any of our people have done something to offend them.” “Yes, Mr.

Everthorn.” Howard sighed angrily.

“I am yet to deal with Carmen and her daughter, and now this new problem has surfaced.” “Mr.

Everthorn, I think it’s related to them.

For the past few months, all our activities have been targeted toward those two women, Caryn and Natalie.” Howard slammed his hand on the table.

“Impossible!

How could they even connect with someone we haven’t even seen?

It’s just a coincidence.

Even though we tried to harm them, we never succeeded.

This incident must be revenge for someone else who was harmed.” “Though we couldn’t manage to harm those two women, in our last fight, we did injure someone who came after us on his own.

What if that person was connected to these people, and now they are coming after us for revenge?” Howard thought for a moment.

“Who was the one who was harmed?

Is he dead?” “It was a young man who had been protecting that woman Caryn from us.

He managed to survive,” the head replied.

“Find out everything about him,” Howard ordered.

—- In the Imperial City.

Justin was traveling somewhere in his car when Noah handed him the tablet and said, “Everything has been done as planned.

Garwin Everthorn is hospitalized, and our message reached them.” Justin glanced at the images of the accident and the injured Garwin, then hummed in acknowledgment.

“Mr.

Harper, the board meeting is over as well,” Noah continued, updating Justin on what had happened with Natalie.

“That’s good,” Justin commented.

“Mr.

Harper, you knew what Clara Ford was up to.

You intentionally didn’t meddle,” Noah observed.

“This revelation was needed for Natalie’s sake,” Justin replied calmly, still focused on reading through the documents in the file.

“Are you preparing her to learn the next truth?

I mean, about her real father?” Noah asked.

Justin didn’t comment on it, and Noah chose to remain silent.
