A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 100

wing to you

Next came the financial documents.

Accounts.

Trust funds.

Numbers large enough to make most people faint.

And finally-

The jewelry.

Old pieces.

Family heirlooms.

Beautiful.

I gathered everything calmly.

“All of it,” I said.

Henry nodded once.

I placed the documents back into the folders and stacked them neatly.

Then I looked toward Shane.

“You should probably have a conversation with your father.”

He frowned slightly.

“About what?” T

“About your underground businesses.”

Henry turned slowly.

“… His what?”

Shane closed his eyes briefly.

Yael muttered under his breath.

“Well… that was going to come up eventually.”

I pointed toward the hallway.

“You two should talk.”

Shane groaned softly.

“This night just keeps getting better.”

Then he turned to Adrian.

“Wait outside.”

Adrian gave me an amused look.

“Yes, boss.”

He stepped out of the office.

The door closed behind him.

Now only three of us remained inside.

Henry Watson.

His son.

And me.

I leaned slightly toward Henry.

Lowering my voice so only he could hear.

“Next time…”

His eyes met mine.

“…there won’t be a next time.”

For the first time that night-

Henry Watson looked genuinely nervous.

A knock sounded at the door.

Before anyone could answer, it opened a crack.

Adrian stuck his head inside, looking far too amused for someone who had been kidnapped earlier-which, to be fair, seemed to be his default mode for the day.

He cleared his throat.

“Um… hey, cous?”

I turned toward him.

He grinned.

“So… your husband is looking for you.”

Good luck

1 wasn’t surprised Jason had found me.

Only that he had arrived this fast

Which, if I was being honest with myself, safd more about him than he probably wanted me to know.

Jason had always been careful about the image he presented to the world.

Successful.

Calm.

Calculated.

The respectable heir running Sol Management.

But I had known him since college.

And even back then there were… hints.

Like the time Oscar had been complaining about a professor’s impossible assignment and suddenly the homework submission portal mysteriously crashed.

Or when a rival team’s robotics presentation disappeared ten minutes before judging.

Jason had simply shrugged and said the school servers were terrible.

At the time I had suspected something.

Now I was certain.

Because hacking the camera feed of a building miles away, locating me, and sending a drone to monitor the room wasn’t something an average businessman could do.

It meant resources.

Infrastructure.

Connections.

It meant the version of Jason I knew was only the surface.

And somehow…

I wasn’t bothered by that. 1.

As I stepped outside the manor, the cool night air greeted me again.

And there he was.

Jason leaned casually against his car, arms crossed, looking entirely too calm for a man who had just tracked his kidnapped wife across two cities.

The headlights of another vehicle illuminated the driveway briefly.

He looked up.

Our eyes met.

Neither of us said a word.

Good Luca

I walked toward him.

Stopped just close enough.

Then leaned forward and placed a quick kiss on his cheek.

Still nothing.

No dramatic reunion.

No questions.

Just understanding.

Jason opened the back door.

I slid into the seat.

A second later the door on the other side opened and he got in beside me.

The driver started the car immediately.

Behind us, Adrian jogged down the steps of the Watson manor.

He caught up just as the car began pulling away. 1

“Hey!”

He knocked lightly on the window.

Jason lowered it slightly.

Adrian leaned down.

“Hey, cous,” he said, looking at me with a hopeful grin.

“You giving me a ride back home?”

I slowly raised an eyebrow.

He looked so sincere it was almost impressive.

I tilted my head slightly.

“After everything you did?”

Adrian opened his mouth to argue.

I continued calmly.

“Even if it was to protect your sister.”

His grin faded slightly.

“You think you’re getting out that easily?”

Adrian blinked.

“…What?”

I smiled sweetly.

“Find your own way back.”

hen I reached over Jason and pressed the window button.

The glass slid up smoothly.

Adrian stood there, frozen in the driveway.

The car rolled down the long path away from the Watson manor.

And for the first time that night-

He actually looked shocked.

The ride back was tense.

Four hours of silence. 1

Marcus drove, occasionally glancing at us through the rearview mirror, clearly tying to gauge whether speaking was a good dea.

Eventually he tried.

‘So… interesting night.”

No response. 1

ason sat beside me, arms crossed, staring out the window.

Marcus cleared his throat.

‘I mean… technically the rescue mission was successful.”

ason answered without looking at him.

‘Yes.”

One word.

Cold.

Marcus shifted slightly in his seat.

“…Right.”

A few minutes later he tried again.

“You know, the drone footage was impressive. I didn’t even know those cameras could —”

“Marcus.”

Jason’s voice was quiet.

But sharp enough to cut through the air.

Marcus shut up immediately.

The rest of the ride passed in complete silence.

By the time the Asher estate gates appeared ahead of us, even the hum of the engine felt loud. 1

The car rolled through the gates and stopped in front of the main entrance.

Marcus parked.

Gond suck

Then he turned around slowly

“Well,” he said carefully.

“Good luck.”

Before either of us could respond he opened the door, stepped out, and almost jogged toward his own car.

A moment later his engine started.

And he drove away.

Smart man.

Jason opened the door.

We walked inside the estate without speaking.

Grandfather was already waiting in the entrance hall.

The moment he saw me he crossed the distance quickly and pulled me into a tight hug.

His hands moved to my shoulders, then my arms, checking for injuries.

“Are you hurt?” 1

“Grandpa,” I laughed softly.

“I’m fine.”

He stepped back slightly, still studying my face.

“You’re sure?”

“Yes.”

Then I lifted the folder and velvet boxes slightly.

“And look.”

His eyes dropped to the items.

“My grandmother’s things.”

For a moment he simply stared.

Then something in his expression softened.

“You got them back.”

“All of it.”

We moved into the sitting room.

Grandfather sat across from me while I placed the documents and jewelry on the table.

Then I explained everything.

The kidnapping.

Henry Watson’s plan.

The forced marriage idea.

Shane’s reaction:

The safe.

The inheritance.

And finally Adrian.

Grandfather listened quietly.

When I finished explaining Adrian’s story-about Clara, the Vinni family, and the sister they were holding hostage-he leaned back slowly.

“That…” he murmured.

“…explains quite a lot.”

“You didn’t know?” I asked.

He shook his head.

“No.”

His eyes hardened slightly.

“But I will deal with my sister.”

I nodded.

That part didn’t surprise me.

Grandfather had always been very good at handling family problems.

Through the entire conversation-

Jason hadn’t said a word.

He stood near the window, hands in his pockets, staring out at the dark garden.

Silent.

Still.

Waiting.

Grandfather glanced toward him briefly.

Then back at me.

“Well,” he said gently.

“You should get some rest.”

I nodded.

Then I gathered the folders and jewelry again.

As I stood, Jason finally turned.

His eyes met mine.

And something in them told me the conversation we hadn’t had yet-

lood sca

Was about to happen.

Amber POV

I walked toward our shared room

I could feel the tension behind me.

Jason was walking a few steps back, his presence heavy and silent.

Cold.

Closed up.

Not like my Jason.

But the version of him I had seen before.

Before the marriage.

Before the chaos of the last few months.

For a moment it felt like we were back at square one.

I stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath before turning around.

The expression on his face made me pause.

His brows were scrunched together.

His gaze was fixed on the floor.

He wasn’t even looking at me.

Was he worried?

I walked toward him slowly.

For someone who could control entire companies, track kidnappers across cities and dismantle empires, he suddenly looked..,

unsure.

Almost lost.

So I did the simplest thing I could think of.

I hugged him.

Just like that.

No speeches.

No accusations.

Just warmth.

His body went still for a moment before his arms slowly wrapped around me.

I pressed my cheek against his chest.

“Hey,” I murmured softly.

“I’m okay.”

Then I leaned back slightly so I could look up at him.

“Are you okay?”

Jason POV

I took a deep breath.

My chest felt tight, like every word I was about to say could shatter something fragile between us.

“Amber… I’m not who you think I am.”

She opened her mouth immediately.

“Jason-”

I raised a hand.

“Please… let me finish.”

My voice sounded rough.

“If you say anything before I finish this, I won’t be able to do it.”

She froze.

Watching me..

Waiting.

So I forced the truth out.

“I’m Cronos.”

The name hung in the air.

“The information broker. The one who buys secrets. The one who destroys companies quietly before anyone even knows what happened.”

Her expression didn’t change.

That made me nervous.

“I’ve been watching you for years,” I continued.

“Long before we got married. Long before Oscar.”

My throat tightened.

“I dismantled entire companies. Some deserved it. Some… maybe didn’t.”

I laughed bitterly. 1

“Half my businesses are practically stolen assets. Companies stripped apart and rebuilt under different names.”

I rubbed my hand over my face.

“My reach goes further than most people imagine.”

Silence filled the room.

I forced myself to meet her eyes.

Terro

“not a good man, Amber.”

The words telt heavy.

“Far from it.”

I paused.

“If you want to walk away… I’ll’understand.”

My voice dropped.

“But please… before you decide anything… give me the chance to explain.”

Amber’s eyes widened.

For a moment I thought she would cry.

Instead-

She exploded.

“Jason!”

Her voice echoed in the room. 1

“Just who did you think was giving you half the intel you receive?!”

I blinked.

“I know you’re Cronos.”

My stomach dropped.

“I’m Terra.”

She crossed her arms.

“I thought you knew that already.”

Amber POV

Jason didn’t answer.

He just kept staring at me.

Not blinking.

Not moving.

Like I had just turned into a ghost in front of him.

I waved my hand slightly in front of his face.

“Jason?”

Nothing.

His eyes were wide, his expression completely stunned.

I tilted my head.

“Are you okay?”

Still nothing

Then it clicked.

My eyes widened.

“Oh.”

I took a step back and crossed my arms.

“Oh.”

My voice dropped, slow and dangerous.

“You didn’t know.”

Jason blinked once.

Twice.

His mouth opened slightly.

And that was all the confirmation I needed.

My irritation exploded instantly.

“So you’re telling me-”

I pointed a finger at his chest.

-that you have been keeping tabs on me for years…”

I took another step closer.

“Watching me.”

“Tracking me.”

“Investigating everyone around me.”

My voice rose with every word.

“And at the same time-”

I threw my hands in the air.

“–you were taking intel from someone you thought was another woman!”

Jason opened his mouth.

“Amber-”

I cut him off immediately.

“Not just another woman,” I continued sharply.

“One who was clearly flirting with you while helping you out!”

His eyes widened in panic.

“And you didn’t know it was me?”

I leaned forward, glaring at him.

“And you still kept responding?!”

The room fell silent.

Jason looked like a man realizing he had just stepped on a landmine.

I stared at him.

Waiting.
