A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 300

“One more thing.”

addressed Mrs. Sun directly.

“Please don’t tell Amber yet.”

“I’ll tell her myself.”

Mrs. Sun nodded slowly.

“I understand.”

I looked around at everyone.

We were safe.

For now.

But one thing had become painfully clear.

Someone hadn’t just planned to kidnap us.

They had planned every single step… right down to stealing our phones before the alarm ever sounded.

“I’ve got you.”

Amber POV

Pamela and her stepsister were engaged in a silent standoff.

Neither of them spoke.

Neither of them looked away.

Marta wore the confident smile of someone who believed she had already won.

Pamela simply stared back, calm and unreadable.

I was about to break the silence when my phone rang.

No.

Not just any ringtone.

A very specific tone echoed through the restaurant.

My heart stopped.

Alex’s emergency signal.

Every one of the children wore a smartwatch that I had personally modified. I had designed them to look like ordinary smartwatches, but hidden beneath the interface was an encrypted emergency system connected directly to my phone.

There was only one reason that alarm would activate.

Something was wrong. 1

Very wrong.

Without a word, I opened the secure application.

Alex’s location appeared almost instantly.

An underground parking garage.

My blood ran cold.

I immediately activated the watch’s live audio feed.

Voices filled my ears.

“…Get in.”

A man’s voice.

Cold.

Demanding.

Then another.

“I said, get in.”

I didn’t hesitate.

While listening through the watch, I grabbed my second phone and called one of my military contacts in Sum.

“Colonel, I need immediate assistance.”

As I spoke, I kept listening to the live transmission.

Alice’s voice suddenly rang out.

“I have to go to the bathroom!”

For a brief second, I frowned.

Then I heard Rose.

“Me too!”

Alex.

“I have to go as well.”

I closed my eyes.

The bathroom.

Of course.

It wasn’t about the bathroom.

It was a distraction.

A way to buy time.

A small smile appeared despite the terror threatening to overwhelm me.

Good.

Very good.

I knew exactly what they were doing.

I continued listening.

Footsteps echoed.

A door opened.

Then-

A loud crash.

Someone shouted.

Another scream.

The unmistakable sounds of a fight.

I held my breath.

Then I heard one of the bodyguards.

He’s armed!”

Another voice answered immediately.

“We’ve got him!”

Relief flooded through me so suddenly my knees nearly gave out.

The bodyguards had understood Alex’s signal.

The watches had done exactly what I had built them to do.

As I continued listening, I heard Mrs. Sun’s familiar voice.

Then…

Jason.

“I’ve already sent a military helicopter.”

Mrs. Sun sounded surprised.

“The military must really appreciate you.”

Jason actually laughed.

“It’s not for me.”

A pause.

“They’re trying very hard to avoid making Amber angry.”

Then….

The sentence that made my eye twitch.

“Please don’t tell Amber.”

“I’ll tell her myself.”

I stared at my phone.

“…Excuse me?”

Something inside me snapped.

Without realizing it, I tightened my grip around the water glass in my hand.

Crack.

The crystal shattered.

Water spilled across the table.

Tiny cuts appeared across my palm.

I hadn’t even noticed how tightly I had been holding it.

Pamela immediately stood.

umber!”

She grabbed a napkin.

“You’re bleeding!”

Only then did I look down.

Small drops of blood mixed with the water on the table.

“I’m fine.”

“You don’t look fine.”

She gently wrapped my hand while watching my face.

“What happened?”

I took a slow breath.

“The kids.”

My voice came out quieter than I expected.

“Someone tried to kidnap them.”

Pamela froze.

“What?”

“They’re safe.”

I answered before she could panic.

“The bodyguards got to them.”

“They’re safe.”

I repeated it more for myself than for her.

Even as we spoke, my fingers were flying across my tablet.

The parking garage’s security network wasn’t particularly secure.

Within seconds I had accessed the surveillance system.

Camera one.

Camera two.

Camera three.

There.

The black van.

The masked men.

The children.

Everything.

I immediately began downloading every available recording.

“Come on…”

“Ninety percent…”

“Ninety-five…”

“Done.”

I finally breathed again.

Then…

One by one…

The camera feeds began disappearing.

I frowned.

“No…”

A message flashed across the screen.

Video unavailable.

Another.

Recording deleted.

Someone was erasing the evidence.

Right now.

I immediately copied every file I had already downloaded onto three separate encrypted drives.

“Too late.”

I whispered.

“I’ve got you.”

Just then, a familiar shadow stopped beside our table.

Marcus.

He had clearly just left his own dinner.

Behind him, I caught a glimpse of Marta looking thoroughly confused as he walked away without another word.

Marcus didn’t even ask permission before sitting down.

His eyes moved between my bleeding hand…

The tablet…

5/6

The phone still playing Alex’s emergency transmission…

Men back to me.

He sighed.

“Of course.”

I looked up.

He gave me a tired smile.

“You already know.”

I nodded once.

“They tried to take the kids.”

His expression darkened instantly.

He looked at the security footage still paused on the black van.

Then at the files I had rescued before they disappeared.

“They’re deleting the cameras.”

“I noticed.”

Marcus slowly leaned back in his chair.

“They’re professionals.”

“So are we.”

For the first time since the emergency signal had sounded…

I allowed myself to smile.

Very slightly.

Because whoever had tried to erase those recordings had made one very expensive mistake.

They had underestimated just how quickly I could steal the evidence before they managed to destroy it.

first real clue

Amber POV

Marcus looked from my tablet to my bleeding hand before letting out a long sigh.

He didn’t need an explanation.

He already knew.

Without another word, he pulled out his phone and dialed Jason.

The call connected almost immediately.

Marcus didn’t even bother greeting him.

“Of course she knows.”

A pause.

“What exactly did you think was going to happen?”

Another pause.

Marcus glanced at me, then smiled sympathetically.

“You should probably expect a very angry wife in about an hour.”

I couldn’t hear Jason’s reply, but judging by Marcus’s expression, he was wisely choosing not to argue.

“I’ll make sure she gets there in one piece.”

Marcus ended the call before Jason could say anything else.

I raised an eyebrow.

“You make it sound like I’m planning a murder.”

Marcus shrugged.

“I’ve known you long enough.”

“That’s not exactly a reassuring answer.”

“It wasn’t meant to be.”

Despite everything that had happened over the last half hour, I laughed.

Then I remembered why Pamela and I had been at the mall in the first place.

“Marcus.”

He looked at me.

“Pamela told me about her stepmother.”

His expression immediately became serious.

“And the house.”

“And the inheritance.”

Pamela sighed.

“It really isn’t that dramatic.”

Marcus turned toward her.

“I disagree.”

She crossed her arms.

“My stepmother is trying to force me into marrying a man older than my father.”

Marcus’s eyebrows shot up.

“…Excuse me?”

“And when I refused, she threatened to cut me off financially.”

Marcus looked genuinely confused.

“But…”

He glanced between us.

“I thought you owned the house.”

“I do.”

Pamela nodded.

“My mother left it to me.”

Marcus blinked.

“I didn’t know Marta was your sister.”

Pamela corrected him immediately.

“Stepsister.”

“At most.”

Marcus nodded once.

“That explains a lot.”

“It certainly does,” Pamela muttered.

Marcus leaned back in his chair.

“Actually…”

“There is something you should know.”

Both of us looked at him.

“Marta and her mother contacted me.”

Pamela’s eyes narrowed.

They did what?”

“They wanted to offer me a business opportunity.”

Pamela laughed.

Not because it was funny.

Because she couldn’t believe it.

“They’re trying to scam you.”

Marcus smiled.

“I suspected as much.”

“They’re professional scammers,” Pamela continued.

“They’ll promise investments.”

“Properties.”

“Partnerships.”

“Whatever they think you’ll believe.”

“Don’t sign anything.”

Marcus nodded calmly.

“I wasn’t planning to.”

He paused before looking directly at Pamela.

“If you’ll allow me…”

“I’d like to represent you.”

She blinked.

“What?”

“Legally.”

“I’ll handle recovering your inheritance.”

“The house.”1

“The money.”

“Everything.”

Pamela looked genuinely surprised.

“You’d do that?”

Marcus smiled warmly.

“I’ve done it before.”

looked at me.

“When Jason recovered his parents’ legacy…”

“I handled a good portion of the legal work.”

I smiled.

“I remember.”

“It wasn’t exactly simple.”

Marcus laughed.

“Nothing involving your family ever is.”

For the first time since we’d arrived at the restaurant, Pamela looked relieved.

“Thank you.”

Marcus simply nodded.

“We’ll get everything back.”

Then his phone vibrated.

He glanced at the screen and groaned.

“Jason.”

Again.

“He has called me six times.”

Marcus looked at me with obvious amusement.

“Please.”

“For everyone’s peace of mind.”

“Tell your husband you’re alive.”

I smiled sheepishly.

“I suppose I should.”

“You probably should.”

“I don’t think he’s stopped worrying since the emergency signal.”

I finally picked up my phone and sent Jason a short message.

I’m okay. No new explosions. I’ll explain everything when I get there.

Less than five seconds later…

My phone buzzed.

Good. Hurry home.

Very Jason.

While Marcus and Pamela continued discussing the legal paperwork, I returned my attention to the surveillance footage I’d managed to save.

I replayed the parking garage recording frame by frame.

The black van.

The driver.

The man in the hoodie.

Then…

I paused the video.

“Wait.”

Marcus immediately leaned closer.

“What?”

I zoomed in on the masked man standing beside the van.

His face was hidden.

But not completely.

The mask itself caught my attention.

It wasn’t an ordinary disguise.

Dark wood.

Hand-painted details.

Long curved horns.

Traditional craftsmanship.

I enlarged the image again.

Then again.

Until the carving became unmistakable.

My pulse quickened.

“I know that mask.”

Marcus frowned.

“You do?”

I nodded slowly.

isn’t mass-produced.”

“It comes from a small artisan boutique in Sum.”

Pamela looked at the screen.

“So…”

“So either someone bought it there…”

“…or someone wanted us to know it came from Sum.”

Marcus folded his arms.

“Either way…”

“It’s a lead.”

I smiled.

“And whoever wore that mask…”

“…just gave us the first real clue to finding them.”

Emotionless

Amber POV

Marcus insisted on escorting Pamela and me back to the Fairy House.

“You’ve had enough excitement for one day,” he said as he opened the car door.

For once, I didn’t argue.

When we arrived, Jason was already waiting.

The moment he saw me, relief flashed across his face.

It lasted only a second.

Then it disappeared.

“We have work to do,” he said quietly.

I frowned.

Something about him felt… different.

We gathered around the conference table, laptops open, security footage spread across multiple screens.

Marcus handled the legal angle.

Pamela organized the corporate information.

I continued analyzing the recordings from the parking garage.

Jason…

Jason became Chronos.

That was the only way I knew how to describe it.

His entire personality seemed to freeze.

His posture straightened.

His face became completely unreadable.

Every answer was short.

Precise.

Emotionless.

He switched between English, Mandarin, German, Spanish and two other languages I couldn’t even recognize, contacting source after source without missing a beat.

He wasn’t rude.

He wasn’t angry.

He simply became… someone else.

The brilliant strategist everyone feared.

Chronos.

Hours passed.

Finally, Jason stopped typing.

“I found them.”

All of us looked up.

“The order didn’t come directly from the Vincents.”

He projected several files onto the screen.

“It came from the former Asher investors.”

I stared at the names.

Every single one belonged to the investors Grandfather had forced to sell their shares after we discovered they were negotiating marriage alliances involving our children.

“They wanted revenge,” Marcus said quietly.

Jason nodded once.

“They hired intermediaries.”

“The intermediaries hired professionals.”

“They never expected the operation to fail.”

Silence settled over the room.

I closed the file.

“We’re going back to Sum.”

No one objected.

Before leaving River City, I made one final stop at Asher Corporation.

Jasper Wilson, one of my newest executive aides, was already waiting outside the media department.

He couldn’t have been older than twenty-four.

Competent.

Quiet.

Observant.

Exactly the kind of person I trusted.

“Jasper.”

“CEO.”

“I need a favor.”

He straightened immediately.

2/7

“Of course.”

Introduced him to Emilia Goodrich.

“Our new intern.”

Emilia smiled politely.

Jasper returned the smile.

“I need you to keep an eye on her.”

His expression became serious.

“Discreetly?”

“Very.”

“If anything unusual happens…”

“I’ll know.”

He nodded once.

“It’ll be done.”

Satisfied, I left the company behind.

The flight back to Sum should have been peaceful.

Instead…

The silence between Jason and me grew heavier with every passing hour.

Whenever I asked him something, he answered.

Briefly.

Politely.

Then returned to work.

No teasing.

No small smiles.

No reaching for my hand.

Nothing.

It hurt more than I wanted to admit.

Even Pamela noticed.

She leaned toward me while Jason reviewed another report.

“…Amber.”

I looked at her.

“Did something happen?”

Norced a smile.

“I don’t know.”

And that was the truth.

I genuinely didn’t know.

Had I done something wrong?

Was he angry?

Was he blaming himself?

I had no answers.

By the time we landed in Sum, exhaustion had settled into every bone in my body.

Grandfather was waiting for us at the airport alongside an impressive security detail. 1

The moment I saw him, relief washed over me.

He hugged me tightly.

“My little phoenix.”

“I’m alright.”

He looked me over carefully before nodding.

Only then did he greet Jason.

To my surprise, Jason spoke to him normally.

Discussing security.

The investigation.

The attempted kidnapping.

His voice sounded almost like usual.

But…

He still barely looked at me.

The drive to the castle felt endless.

As soon as we arrived, I hugged Grandfather again.

“I’m going to see the kids.”

“And then…”

I smiled tiredly.

“I’m going to bed.”

He gently squeezed my shoulder.

The children were already waiting in the main living room.

The moment they saw me…

Alice ran first.

Then Rose.

Alex followed close behind.

Even Iris couldn’t hold back.

Before I realized what was happening, all four of them had wrapped themselves around me.

Then…

They started crying.

Real crying.

The kind they had been holding back ever since the kidnapping.

I knelt on the floor and hugged them as tightly as I could.

“You did so well.”

Alice buried her face against my shoulder.

“I was scared.”

“I know.”

Rose nodded through her tears.

“We almost got in the van.”

“But you didn’t.”

I smiled proudly.

“You remembered your training.”

“You stayed together.”

“You bought time.”

“You trusted each other.”

I looked at each one of them.

“I couldn’t be more proud.”

Alex lowered his head.

“My watch worked.”

I smiled.

“It worked exactly the way I designed it.”

“You saved all of you.”

His ears turned slightly red.

“I only pressed the button.”

“And that was enough.”

Eventually, the tears stopped.

One by one, I tucked them into bed.

Within minutes, all four children were asleep.

The castle finally became quiet.

I stood outside my bedroom.

Our bedroom.

My hand rested on the doorknob.

I stared at it for several long seconds.

Then…

I let go.

No.

+15 Bonus

Not tonight.

Not after the way he had ignored me.

Not after one of the most terrifying days of my life.

I wasn’t asking for grand gestures.

I wasn’t asking him to fix everything.

I had simply wanted my husband to hug me.

To tell me we were all safe.

Instead…

I had received silence.

So I turned away.

Instead of walking toward our room, I climbed the narrow staircase leading into one of the oldest towers of the castle.

My tower.

6/7

Hidden behind another secret door was a small room only I could access.

My sanctuary.

My safe place.

Before turning off tny phone, I opened the family group chat.

Good night, everyone. I’m exhausted. Going to sleep..❤

I pressed send.

Then switched the phone off completely.

Silence filled the room.

For the first time that day…

I allowed myself to cry.

Not because I had been scared.

Not because someone had tried to kidnap our children.

But because today, of all days…

The person whose embrace I had wanted most…

Had given me nothing but a cold shoulder.

I wiped my tears away.

One Year ago, I had made a promise to myself.

No matter what happened…

I would never abandon myself again.

And I intended to keep that promise.
