A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 143

Jason glanced at me.

Checking.

I nodded.

The reporter’s grin widened.

“My favorite moment…”

He said.

“…was when you asked the lawyer if she took the case out of revenge for you marrying Mr. Sun.”

A few nearby reporters chuckled.

“Brutal,” he added.

“Absolutely brutal.”

I smiled.

“And I was wondering…”

He leaned forward slightly.

“What was your favorite moment?”

A pause.

I could feel Jason’s gaze on me.

Warm.

Curious.

I smiled.

Soft.

Simple.

“The end.”

The reporter blinked-

Then laughed.

“Fair enough.”

To them-

It was obvious.

Relief.

Closure.

But Jason-

Jason knew better.

Because my favorite moment-

Wasn’t the end.

It was the shift.

The exact second-

When control changed hands.

When the judge looked at Victoria—

And she realized-

She had already lost.

A soft sound broke my thoughts.

Jason chuckled.

Low.

Knowing.

I turned slightly-

Meeting his eyes.

And without a word-

He leaned in-

And kissed me.

Not rushed.

Not for the cameras.

Just…

Certain.

The world around us blurred.

Because for a moment-

There was no court.

No media.

No chaos.

Just us.

And the quiet understanding-

We had won. At least todays battle.

We didn’t stay.

Not for the cameras.

Not for the noise.

Jason guided me to the car-

And we left.

Straight to the Asher estate.

It should have felt like relief.

Like closure.

But something-

Felt wrong.

Jason was quiet.

Too quiet.

And when we arrived-

I understood why.

Police cars.

Officers.

Security everywhere.

Jason’s hand tightened around mine as we walked inside.

Grandfather was waiting.

Mr. Sun beside him.

But this time-

Grandfather didn’t speak.

He looked at me.

Longer than usual.

Almost…

Hesitant.

“Grandpa?”

He exhaled slowly.

Then gestured toward the sitting area.

“Sit down, darling.”

That-

That wasn’t normal.

My chest tightened.

“I’m fine, just tell me-”

“No.”

His voice wasn’t loud.

But it was firm.

“Sit.”

I froze for a second.

Then slowly sat.

“Breathe first.”

He added softly.

That made it worse.

Much worse.

I inhaled.

Once.

Twice.

Jason stayed standing beside me-

But Grandfather turned to him.

“Jason.”

His tone shifted.

More serious.

“Hold her.”

Jason didn’t question it.

Jason didn’t question it.

His arm wrapped around me instantly.

Pulling me closer to him.

Firm.

Secure.

Protective.

My heart started pounding.

What is it?” I whispered.

Grandfather didn’t answer.

He nodded toward an officer.

“Show her.”

A tablet was placed in my hands.

The moment the screen lit up-

My breath caught.

A room.

Small.

Windowless.

And the walls-

Covered.

Pictures.

Of me.

Thousands.

Different places.

Different years.

Different moments.

My fingers tightened around the tablet.

“…What is this?” I whispered.

“This was found in the Becker estate.”

Grandfather said quietly.

The images kept moving.

Me at nineteen.

Campus.

Laughing.

Living-

Unaware.

Always unaware.

Then-

The next image appeared.

And I froze.

The ball.

That night.

I was sitting beside Jason.

Leaning toward him.

Smiling.

Drunk.

But-

Jason’s face-

Had been crossed out.

Over and over again.

Violently.

Erased.

My breath hitched.

“They knew you were there…”

I whispered.

“No.”

Jason’s voice came low.

Cold.

“They didn’t like that I was.”

Silence filled the room.

The screen shifted again.

Clothes.

My clothes.

From years ago.

Folded.

Kept.

A chill ran through me.

“He’s been watching you…”

Sun said quietly.

“For years.”

Jason’s arm tightened around me.

“Where is he?”

“…We don’t know.”

That-

That was worse.

Much worse.

I leaned slightly into Jason-

Without realizing it.

And for the first time-

I understood why Grandfather had made me sit.

Why he told Jason to hold me.

Because this-

Wasn’t just information.

It was something you had to survive.

Grandfather nodded toward one of the officers.

The man stepped forward.

“Detective Daniels.”

He introduced himself.

Voice calm.

Professional.
