A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 140

A beat.

Because now-

She had no move left.

Victoria didn’t sit down.

Not this time.

“We will not dismiss the case.”

Her voice was firm—

But there was tension beneath it.

Acrack.

Oscar stepped forward slightly.

“I want to proceed.”

Of course he did.

Victoria inhaled slowly.

Then turned to me.

“Ms. Asher, please take a seat.”

I didn’t argue.

I sat.

Relaxed.

Almost amused.

“Let’s begin,” she said.

Her tone shifting-

Controlled again.

Strategic.

“When did you first meet Jason Sun?”

A flicker of movement from the judge.

“Counsel,” he interrupted.

“Mr. Sun has no direct relevance to this case.”

I spoke before she could.

“It’s alright, Your Honor.”

I turned back to Victoria.

“I’ll answer.”

Her lips pressed together-

But she nodded.

“I knew of Jason in college.”

I said calmly.

“He was…”

A faint smile.

“Hard to miss.”

Yew quiet chuckles rippled through the room.

“But we didn’t speak.”

A pause.

“Not until a ball.”

Victoria stepped forward.

Pouncing.

“So you admit it.”

Her voice sharpened.

“You used Oscar White to get closer to Jason-”

“Built a relationship with him-”

“Only to discard him when the opportunity to marry Jason presented itself.”

There it was.

The narrative.

Clean.

Simple.

Wrong.

I laughed.

Soft at first-

Then a little brighter.

Not offended.

Not defensive.

Amused.

“That’s an interesting version of events.”

I leaned back slightly.

Then looked at her-

Directly.

“But incorrect.”

A pause.

Then-

I delivered it.

was Oscar who used Jason to get close to me.”

Silence.

Immediate.

Victoria blinked.

Just once.

“He knew.”

I continued.

Calm.

“He knew I liked Jason.”

A ripple through the courtroom.

“And he used that.’

A slight tilt of my head.

“To position himself closer to me.”

Victoria opened her mouth-

But I didn’t stop.

“He wasn’t competing with Jason.”

A beat.

“He was leveraging him.”

That landed.

Hard.

Oscar’s expression shifted-

Subtly-

But enough.

And me?

I smiled.

Because now-

The narrative wasn’t just broken.

It was reversed.

I leaned forward slightly.

Resting my hands on the table.

Men-

Casually.

Almost lightly.

“Tell me, Victoria.”

Her name hung in the air.

“Is that why you took this case?”

A pause.

Sharp.

“Because you felt a sense of kinship?”

Her expression hardened.

“With him?”

I tilted my head slightly.

“After all…”

A faint smile.

“He’s my ex-fiancé.”

A beat.

“And you’re Jason’s.”

The room went still.

Because that–

That wasn’t just a question.

It was exposure.

Victoria didn’t look at me again.

Not once.

“I’m done with this witness.”

Her voice was tight.

Controlled-

But barely.

“I call Oscar White to the stand.”

A shift in the room.

Subtle.

But heavy.

Oscar stood.

Straightened his jacket.

Walked forward like he still belonged there.

He didn’t.

He took the oath.

Sat.

Avoided my eyes.

Victoria stepped closer.

Gentler now.

Careful.
