A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 469

Amber POV

I stared at the wall.

Then I laughed.

Not because it was funny.

Because the accusation was so absurd that I genuinely didn't know how else to react.

"Terrorism?"

"Yes."

"Me?"

"Unfortunately."

I rubbed my forehead.

"Christian, I've spent the last several hours trying not to get murdered. When exactly was I supposed to find the time to become a terrorist?"

"I imagine the president isn't particularly concerned with the details."

"Clearly."

Christian sighed.

"The situation is more serious than you realize. According to my sources, the president has been issuing orders directly to military units, bypassing the usual channels. Some officers are cooperating with him."

My amusement vanished.

"Christian, there are soldiers surrounding my family's castle."

Silence.

"What?"

"Military vehicles. Armed personnel. They've blocked the roads, and nobody has contacted Jason to explain why they're there."

"Are you certain?"

"My daughter just recorded them."

I could hear movement on his side of the call.

"Where are the children?"

"Jason is evacuating everyone through the tunnels."

"Good."

I looked at the video again.

The sight of those soldiers made my blood boil.

"Christian, I need you to do something for me."

"Name it."

"I'm sending you Iris's video. I want you to upload it to social media."

Christian paused.

"Amber, are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

"Once that video is public, the situation could escalate."

I felt something inside me snap.

"Escalate? Christian, there are armed soldiers surrounding my children! My husband is trying to get newborn babies out of the country through secret tunnels because the president has decided our family is a threat. How much further does this need to escalate before we're allowed to defend ourselves?"

Christian was silent.

I took a breath, trying to regain control of my voice.

"I'm not asking you to declare war on the president. I'm asking you to show people what's happening before he gets the chance to invent a justification for it."

"I understand."

"My children have done nothing wrong," I continued, unable to keep the anger from my voice. "They shouldn't have to run from their own home. They shouldn't have to be afraid of soldiers. And they certainly shouldn't have to pay for whatever disagreement that man has with us."

"I know, Amber."

I closed my eyes.

For a moment, I couldn't speak.

Then I forced myself to continue.

"I want the original footage uploaded. Don't edit Iris's words or make accusations we can't prove. Just explain that military personnel have surrounded a private residence without providing any public justification."

"Understood."

"And Christian?"

"Yes?"

"Please make sure the video spreads."

He gave a humorless laugh.

"Amber, I assure you, a video of armed soldiers surrounding the Sun family's castle while a teenager explains what's happening outside her home will attract attention."

"Good."

"I'll handle it. But you need to be careful."

"I am."

"Amber."

There was something in his voice that made me pause.

"This isn't just another political disagreement. If the president is willing to use military personnel against your family, he's becoming desperate."

I looked toward Emory, who was speaking quietly with one of the officers.

"Then he's going to learn that threatening my children was a very serious mistake."

Christian sighed.

"Just don't let your anger make your decisions for you."

I looked at the video again.

"I'm not angry enough to be careless, Christian. I'm angry enough to make sure he doesn't get away with this."

We ended the call.

I forwarded the video.

Then I opened the security system.

If the military intended to surround my home, I was going to watch every second of it.

Thirty minutes passed.

Thirty very long minutes.
