Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Dumb And Blind

The guests crowded around the scene, making it difficult for Justin to see what was happening.

He pushed his way through, just in time to see a staff member helping a woman out of the pool.

Her face wasn’t clear to him, but he instinctively stepped forward, worried it might be Natalie. However, a voice made him pause.

"Natalie, how dare you push her into the pool?"

"As long as you’re not blind, you can see I did nothing but stand here in my place."

Justin turned to see Natalie standing by the side of the pool, facing an enraged Briena. Both women were without masks, but Justin knew he would have recognized Natalie even if she were masked.

He sighed in relief—It wasn’t her.

Rowan joined him, a smirk forming on his lips as he took in the scene. "Yesterday you were asking about her, and here she is—the troublemaker of the Ford family. Now you can see for yourself that I was right."

"It would be better if you shut your mouth," Justin warned, focusing on Natalie. He wanted to see how she handled the situation. As long as she was safe, she was free to do anything because he was sure she had done nothing wrong this time.

Justin could sense the accusatory glances shot at Natalie. Due to her bad reputation, everyone had already considered her a villain. But there she was standing unbothered, full of confidence with her hands tucked into the pockets of her tailored peach colored suit, unlike other women who wore fancy dresses.

"You are despicable," Briena spat, trying to play the victim.

"Not news to me," Natalie replied coolly. "I’m not interested in watching the rest of your pity act. So, I’ll spare you from my despicable self."

"You can’t leave unless you apologize to Lily," Beiena shouted angrily.

Natalie offered her a bored look, "And who is that?"

"My friend, who you have pushed in the swimming pool and humiliated her in front of all these guests."

"As I said, I didn’t push her, so you can keep dreaming about getting an apology from me," Natalie retorted, her voice steady and calm.

"No one else was here but us two, and there’s no way I would push my own friend. If not you, then are you suggesting she fell in on her own?"

"You’ve got it right. Congratulations," Natalie replied with a fake smile, turning to leave.

"Stop right there. Did you hear me?" Briena shouted, but Natalie ignored her. She didn’t care what others thought of her nor did she care to prove herself innocent. It was nothing but a waste of time.

"What’s happening here?" A deep voice cut through and got everyone’s attention, making Natalie stop as well.

A tall and handsome man in an expensive suit, Steve Davis, a son of the Davis family, who was hosting this party. Next to him was Ivan Brown, who went straight to Briena. "What happened?"

Tears rolled down her eyes and she hugged Ivan. "Natalie, she..." she sobbed, unable to finish her sentence.

Ivan offered her a cold glare and looked down at Briena to ask her, "Tell me what happened," as he gently wiped her tears away. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
